HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND A FEW GOODIES!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

🧐🎩🧡🎃🏆🥧☕🍁🍂🦇🐺🧡😍

The CMON NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Game is coming... now that IS Halloween Worthy News!

Fantasy Flight Games posted a nice little preview of The Investigators of the Horrific Journeys Expansion coming late in the year for Mansions Of Madness!

Checkout the individual details of these heroes in the One More Mile To Go article!

I was hoping to get some of the nice Sandy Pete Monsters this Halloween Holiday but they are still very late to the party... that is okay because after years of wanting some BATTLESTAR GALACTICA GLORY it is finally coming... and just in time for The Lords Of Kobol Celebrations in December!

 Happy CREEP Boss out! 

COLLECTION DIARY: OCTOBER 2018

I have wanted good BSG Universe models for years! Now that EAGLEMOSS are making great gameable models and ARES has made their badass BSG Starship Battles Game with beautiful miniatures the dream is becoming wonderfully real! I am very pleased to finally be able to begin my BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Universe Collection!

I love these wonderful Shapeways models! I am going to use these babies for my FFG Armada-like EPIC Games, and in ARES SSB Games they will function as strategic tokens for large battles, and as interactive Technical Terrain! Now that I own these cuties and have compared them to the lesser quality Armada models... I am going to get a lot more of these cool little miniatures!

ARES BSG SSB PREVIEWS AT ESSEN 2018!

Thanks to ARES Games for posting these preview images... I love the way these ships are being finished. Three badass paint schemes per model right from the start is just making everything look all the sweeter. Our tables are going to be grand when these babies are released this Spring!

THE ARES BSG SSB CYLON UNIVERSE IS BIG ENOUGH!

Like most great Sci-Fi the Goodguys seam to have more characters and equal'ish military resources as the Badguys. In The BSG Universe this is half true. The Cylons have way more resources than the humans. This is scary in the stories, and kind of funny too. Even in the 1978 show The Cylons came in great numbers... but just one ship type... because they are machines and a Raider gets the job done in most ceases. 

By their nature The Cylon Fleet is just not going to have as many types of ships as The Colonials, who need specialized craft to do things that would otherwise get them killed in a Viper. Cylons are harder to kill.

The types of Cylon Drones discussed in my recent BSG FBG post are a stationary attack platform and a ship type. ARES may get both of these concepts approved, but more on that later my Cylons!

I have in fact been chatting a good bit on BSG FBG with Roberto Di Meglio who is the ARES Production Manager and is in charge of the variety of ships going into the game. I can assure you all that he is working to make good things happen!

The fact that Roberto has made it clear he is going to

pull Colonial and Cylon ships from other resources 

beyond what was seen in the 1978 and 2004 series 

has made me very content for the future of this game!!!

Looking more closely at BSG DEADLOCK has me excited for The Cylons! Just how many cool variants on the Raider are there... AND how many of them can ARES and Roberto get into our wonderful BSG SSB Game? Wow It All Looks Sweet! 

BSG SSB CLASSIC (1978) MODELS PREVIEWED!

The BSG Starship Battles FBG posted a nice preview of The First Cylon War Era Colonial Viper MkI and Cylon Raider digital models in progress, and they are both looking fantastic! These Classic Ships Expansions are coming in early Spring!

THE GLORY IS COMING TO OUR TABLES IN 2019!!!

THE ARES BSG SSB COLONIAL UNIVERSE IS BIG ENOUGH!

I have been happily gathering BSG SSB content on line over the recent weeks and it has been great fun. However I have read and herd that people think that BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is a tiny universe and thus the forthcoming game is going to be limited and perhaps even boring!
Allow me to ease your concerns my fine Star Brothers and Sisters!

ARES is going to release Colonial and Cylon ship expansions side by side just as other companies have done. We have seen these other STAR games release their expansions in waves of two to four packs, two or three times a year. Ditto ARES.
If all ARES Games produces are the squadrons and shuttle sized ships from the Original and Reimagined series, they already have enough wonderful BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: STARSHIP BATTLES products to product for us into early 2020!
The great news is that ARES is not just doing that!

ARES Games have licenses for other BSG properties including BSG DEADLOCK! 

In addition to selecting fighters and other small craft from popular BSG Video games ARES are going to make Huge Capitol Ships. The first HUGE SHIP Expansion is of course going to be an 18 inch BATTLESTAR GALACTICA with rules for Fleet Combat! There are also plans for The BATTLESTAR PEGASUS and a CYLON BASESTAR!

My Star Brothers and Sisters... THERE ARE ENOUGH SHIPS for BSG SSB to be AWESOME!!!

ARES having some access to ship designs from popular and thriving BSG Video Games is going to help them to take BSG SSB to another level of coolness! The game BSG DEADLOCK is one such new and shiny thriving game and it looks very nice. In the year since it's release BSG Deadlock has published a number of updates! Just this Spring they previewed new ship concepts including The Colonial Sweeper...  which is in perfect scale for BSG STARSHIP BATTLES! I wonder...

BSG SSB CYLON HEAVY RAIDER MODEL PREVIEWED!

The BSG Starship Battles FBG posted this cool preview of the Cylon Heavy Raider digital model in progress, and it's looking fantastic! This is coming in early Spring along with The Raptor Expansion.

We need a Sixpack of these Badass Heavy Raiders my Cylon Brothers and Sisters!

FFG PREVIEWS STAR WARS LEGION WAVE THREE PERSONNEL EXPANSIONS!

FFG finally posted their Personnel Expansions Preview! Checkout the new goodies in the Specialize Your Army article!

 I am most pleased by the reveal of the Personnel Expansions which are a whole new class of expansions for Legion! These sets are specialist groups which can be added to squads to give them new improvements and gear options in battle! The first pair of Personnel Expansions bring us Alternate Commanders and Officers and... Oh GLORY: our first four Droids to the game! I  Dat! These expansions are set for a Q1 2019 release, which is a nice way to start the new year I think!

   Happy Legionnaire Boss out!   

ARES GAMES POST THE COMPLETE BSG STARSHIP BATTLES RULE BOOK PDF!

ARES just posted the complete BATTLESTAR GALACTICA STARSHIP BATTLES RULEBOOK PDF for free download! At a glance it looks just as fun as the GenCon preview videos hinted that it would be... Hott Damm!

BSG STARSHIP BATTLES: COLONIAL RAPTOR MODEL PREVIEWED!

The BSG Starship Battles FBG posted a very nice preview of the forthcoming Colonial Raptor to start the week off with a bang! This is the first version. There will of course also be a Heavy Colonial Raptor expansion pack to follow the stock Raptor!

We need a Sixpack of these Badass Raptors my Colonial Brothers and Sisters!
