COLLECTION DIARY: NOVEMBER 2015

I made the jump into STAR WARS ARMADA this month, and I am happy that I finally got on this glory. I love it!



After I got my ARMADA glory in, I still had a few bucks in my Toy Fund... and made a few more purchases for my LAND WAR Project too! Tis the season to buy some wonderful toys after all, right gang? Damns RIGHT!



I always run a muck in the holidays... next month will be just as crazy, and i love it plenty, as do most people... have fun my Star Brothers and Sisters.

Jolly Boss out!

FFG PREVIEWS THE IMPERIAL ASSAULT CARRIER... COMING VERY SOON!

FFG finally posted an updated preview of the forthcoming (Gozanti) Imperial Assault Carrier in their EPIC Tactics article today!


This is another game-changer and probably one of the best EPIC Expansions Fantasy Flight has released thus far.


Everything about The Gon-Gon-Zillah is Glorious! Now The Empire has two Huge Ships... now X-WING EPIC PLAY can be done properly...


I have been wanting to see this ship for over a year, it is almost here now... and I am very happy about that! Keep up the great work Fantasy Flight!

BOSS SHOP: STAR WARS X-WING EPIC LAND WAR - PROJECT OVERVIEW

I have been planning my X-WING EPIC LAND WAR Project for a while. I am going to get to it this Winter.

 
I have plenty of cool X-Wing EPIC ships on my table but I need to mess around with some other toys too while hunkered down in the cold... verity will keep me warm, motivated, and very happy!


I am very inspired by the recent STAR WARS COMMANDER Game and the brand new glory that is BATTLEFRONT! I love that these games do not just stay in the original films. They both have cool new environments and there are new weapons and gear that stays true to the STAR WARS Universe. That is great.
I do not play these games, but I can make my miniatures version of them just as badass... I think it is going to be very fun.

I have been buying models for this project but until recently I could not get into really working on it because I wanted GOOD Miniatures for the troops. I had planned to sculpt some but decided that was a lot of time and $$$ that I did not want to invest. Now that I have found the Dropzone Commander product range, which fits into the scale, I can happily move forward with this project.


More to come...


Boss out!

THE FORCE AWAKENS: THIS WEEK'S COOLNESS ROCKED!

A good  bit of coolness has been released this week, and I love it plenty. Check it out if you somehow missed this STAR ROCKING!



This Is Glorious!


It is pretty clear that Han and Rey are two of the main characters in the new film... I am looking forward to seeing them be cool and badass!



These new Character Posters give me complete confidence in JJ, and Kath... they are not going to fail us.


From a couple months ago... and it is still badass too!


Happy Boss out!

BOSS' BIG ATTACK WING PROJECT PART SIX: NEW FALL 2015 STAW EXPANSIONS !

Good ole Wizzies has accidentally made five new STAW Expansions that fit our BBA Scale just fine.



STAW WAVE 19 & 20 are adding five new Boss' BIG Approved models to our STAR TREK Fleets! It has been a while since Wizzies made some cool ships that fit into our upgraded scale. I like that these are here for Autumn... very nice!


October Wave 19 includes the Federation Delta Flyer,  Klingon Bird of Prey IKS Rotarran, and Romulan RIS Talvath.


Wave 20 is coming in November and includes the Federation Constellation class USS Hathaway,  Kazon Raider Halik, and Romulan (Reman) Scorpion class fighters. The Delta and Scorpions are new models and they look great in this tiny scale too.

Well gang that is about it for now. There are no exciting models coming out that we have not already shared, but it is nice that a handful of the smaller STAW goodies still fit into our fleets.

FALL UPDATE 2014 


BIG Trek Boss out!

NEW STAR TREK SERIES COMING!

Okay... WOW! It looks like the Trekers are getting a clue with all of the STAR WARS love flowing: they need to get off their asses and make a nice new STAR TREK!


Nobody knows much yet, but it is scheduled to come to us in January 2017!  Here are the scant details as posted on The Official STAR TREK site... so it is not just an internet rumor gang.

I hope it is awesome because I love STAR TREK... and it is way past time for us to get some new-cool!


Happy and hopeful Trek Boss out!

FFG ANNOUNCES STAR WARS REBELLION!

Some of we Veteran X-Wingers have been wanting Fantasy Flight Games do make an in scale X-WING GROUND WAR game for years now. Today's preview of STAR WARS REBELLION along with IMPERIAL ASSAULT make it clear this is not going to happen.


This looks like a fun set. When I saw the little Imperial Walkers it hit me like a shot... this IS that Ground War Epic Game... still a nice looking product. This preview answers a few more questions too prolly... since the X-Wing and TIE are from ARMADA... you can have fun pondering...


Keep up the good work FFG!

Boss out.
