BOSS SHOP: BSG CUSTOM DICE PROJECT!

I love most of what I know about ARES BATTLESTAR GALACTICA SSB... but that Dam-FFG has got me to love Custom Iconic Dice! So now that I am in love with ARES BSG too... I have to cross the streams and make my own cool little BSG Universe Dice!

So far I am getting the icons to look cool, but it has been a little bit of an effort. I needed to upload many versions of my art to the BGM Dice app, to get everything looking clean and centered on the di-faces. I am happy with these test uploads and now I just need to tweak a few more details to finalize the project.

I am going to make these dice in January. I want to spend some time with the actual BSG SSB Game and make sure that I like my ideas for how the Hero Dice are going to work. It is going to be very cool to have these unique dice sets in my BSG Games!

See you in January!

COLLECTION DIARY: NOVEMBER 2018

I am having a Wonderful Holiday and I hope all of my B6*R7 Fliers are too!

It is a great pleasure to continue my BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Universe Collection! I have played these starship battle games for years and never used a laser line. The cool thematic complexity of maneuvering in BSG SSB with it's tight firing arcs has inspired me to finally buy a cute little grade-A laser thing-a-jig. With the exception of HEAVY METAL Magazine I have not bought any comics in years but now I am enjoying that hobby again too with BSG graphic novels.

My rediscovering of The Battlestar Universe has made me very happy, as it is one of my childhood friends! I have washed away the negativity that had been growing in my mind over the last two years with Star Wars too! I am having with BSG! I even reread some of the beloved old BERSERKER WAR novels which is of course where Glen Larson got most of the inspiration to make BSG 1978 to begin with. I am so happy of late that I even bought of bunch of STAR WARS Expansions from dirty ole FFG again... lol... but XW2 can wait!

Very Happy Collecting Boss out!

BSG SHAPEWAYS SQUADRONS - EPIC SCALE GAMES: PART 1

COLONIAL SQUADRONS USING A GEMENON FREIGHTER TO COVER A FLANKING MANEUVER!

In my first Squadrons & Small Ships article I covered how I am going to conduct my EPIC Games. Now that I have my first nice sets of models I am going to start working on actually building the wonderful little BSG Squadrons! Looking at the based models posed around my Galactica model; it is clear that I am going to be able to preform all kinds of cool Fleet Actions in this scale that will be just like the battles presented in series and films! That makes me very happy!

More to come...

FFG ANNOUNCES JYN ERSO AND THE REBEL PATHFINDERS!

FFG announced the next two Legion Expansions today for The Rebels featured in ROGUE ONE! Checkout the Rebels fourth HQ choice; Commander Jyn Erso in the Rogue Spirit article, and our second Rebel Special Forces unit too!

I Love ALL Of This!

 Jyn IS "The Guns Of Navarone" level cool... YAH! 😎

Jyn has some badass backup too... I mean Bistan with his Rock 'n Roll Gunning IS Great!

Happy Legionnaire Boss out!  

ARES BSG SSB UNBOXINGS!

We saw some nice previews of forthcoming BATTLESTAR GALACTICA STARSHIP BATTLES goodies at Essen 2018 this October! Now that the event is over and certain motivated attendees have started to share their love of the game with the world we have some cool new things to see!

 Phil GC of our ARES BSG FBG posted his detailed look at everything that comes in the BSG SSB Starter!

To round the week out we have The Best BSG Unboxing Video I have seen... WOW!

BSG SHAPEWAYS SQUADRONS & SMALL SHIPS - EPIC SCALE GAMES!

I have enjoyed FFG's X-WING and ARMADA games for years. Now that ARES Games is making The BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Universe a legitimate gaming reality, and EAGLEMOSS is producing wonderful models for all of the important Capitol Ships too... I am ridiculously happy! I am going to enjoy building a great collection of Battlestar Glory for my Battle Parlor!

ARES are making rules for BSG Starship Battles and BSG Epic Fleet Battles! While they are making Capitol Ships (X-Wing Epic) for their Epic Game, they plan to use the same squadron and small ships from the base game for their Epic Game. I do not think that will work as well with this game as it did for the X & Attack Wing games. This is the only thing that ARES is doing for their BSG Games that I do not love, thus I am buying Eaglemoss Capitol Ships and Squadron and Small ship models available at Shapeways! I will of course use the rules ARES publishes for their Epic Game too, along with FFG Armada bases to conduct my wonderful Fleet Battles... and it will be Great FUN!

WHAT JOY IS THIS?

Once I had the first order of adorable little badass BSG Epic Scale Miniatures in hand... and I could see how well they had been sculpted and how good they looked on Armada Bases: I knew I needed to buy more.... Much-MORE!

I am setting up all of my Squadrons and Small Ships into collections of six to twelve models. The exceptions being Colonial One, which is a single character ship, and the Cylon War II Raiders which you need to have in droves! There are a few Special Ships that I am doing too. First of course will be a roughed-up and dirty creepily painted CWII Raiders to represent SCAR. The second is going to be a tedious but fun conversion of a CWI Raider to make a Cylon Character Wardriver Colonials call The BEAST... because I can... I Must!
