COLLECTION DIARY: APRIL 2021

My Krakin Factions are almost complete now that I have most of the Dark-half gathered... it only took a year to build both sides of me beloved KRAKIN! RISE SHADOW KRAKIN... RISE!

"The Fallen are returning to their former Fluidic Paradise. These Begrime Krakin are a Terror of Shadow from our past that shall not rest until they have vengeance for our justified abandonment of them all of the long generations ago... We must be ever watchful."  Nobel Bharin

The approach I have taken to building my beloved Cosmic Aquatic Factions for Marvelous Marvel Cosmic is simple and harkens back to everything that I love from classic fiction. The great classics often explore the story of good and evil battling over the generations and striving for ultimate supremacy. All of my Marvel Cosmic Factions are inspired by these classic Science Fiction and Science Horror stories. The Crimson Krakin - NEOCEN GUARD and The Fallen - SHADOW KRAKIN battles are going to be terrible... and glorious!

Happy (EVIL🖤🦈) Fish-Boss out!

 

I also had to get the BIG beloved Enterprise C while she was on sale... because. And some glorious DOMINION WAR ships too! I am finally building that wonderful DS9 game up and I will post more about that in the glory-time that is Autumn!

Happy BIG TREK Boss out!

BOSS SHOP MCP: EVIL FACTIONS - THE FALLEN "SHADOW KRAKIN" PROJECT OVERVIEW

In their early technological advancement The Krakin Race sent many Biotech-probes out into the Cosmic Sea. The Majority made positive contact. Intergalactic and Interstellar relationships were formed. Other Biotech Probe Fleets were lost. The lost survivors adapted to their strange new islands but The Crimson Krakin Council counted them among the lost in a great but deadly endeavor. 

The Crimson Krakin quietly labor to conceal a modern terror: one shadow spawned from their history. 

Sadly many of the lost Biotech Probe Fleets suffered more than the unavoidable tragedy of becoming stranded in deep space! These unfortunate crews became mentally and physically corrupted by their own Transway Drives. In the Shadowed Past of their terrible spawning over the generations since... they have become malevolent and monstrous. Now they are BEGRIME (in the ancient Krakin language). Allies of The Crimson Krakin call these terrors The Fallen or simply Shadow Krakin, and fully understand that they threaten all wholesome life!

HAPPY ALIEN DAY 2021

I have to admit that I did not know about ALIEN DAY until this year. 

I think it is fun and I am going to enjoy it and I have added it to my nerd events. 🥳🎈🎉

BOSS SHOP: DUNE - SNAP SHIPS RIGHT OUT OF (AND BACK INTO) DUNE!

I am so pleased with this toy range. The fact that I can build so many DUNE craft with the kits I own make me very excited! As of this month I have all of the kits I need to build several models including everything pictured in this article. I have had a few negative comments on this approach, but that only gives me a case of the giggles. I am not trying to be a historical frumpstire on a DUNE Facebook group. For me DUNE is glorious... not boring. If you think these wonderful SNAP SHIPS toys do not FIT RIGHT INTO DUNE... you do not know DUNE as well as I do. I have researched this universe from it's beginnings right up to the new 2020 film designs. I have seen over a dozen versions of Carryalls (& Groundcars) and over a hundred varieties of Ornithopters. I have chosen these excellent little models because they all have many of the design elements from actual DUNE art and other DUNE media that I love.

 See how nice PAUL'S Ornithopter from The Road to Dune looks like it belongs with the cool Snap Ships designs? YAH! This is all coming together just great and it is FUN! 😎

More to come... THE SPICE WILL FLOW!

Happy BIG TREK Boss out!

IT WAS A GOOD DARK WEEKEND!

 

I am very happy to know I will have this in hand next week! From the time I got the email notice from GameNerdz and purchased my copy (three minutes after I got the email) they had sold out again in nine minutes... Yah, this is a damn populare game!

I am going to play Cursed City... of course but I also wanted it for my Eldritch Horror and Marvel Knights game collections! This was a cool, overcast, good DARK weekend!

BOSS SHOP: DUNE - BENE GESSERIT SISTERHOOD - PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood has been the most difficult Faction to build for my DUNE Skirmish Game. I wanted to find some cool miniatures to represent these badass women properly. I found what I wanted after months of searching and it turned out great I think... it was FUN!

 Ole hippy activist Frank described almost nothing in his sleepy novels. I call it Dune-fog-vision. Cool things are happening but feel free to imagine just about anything visually. A happy consequence of Frank's vague space drama narrative is that we get to see a million versions of The DUNE Universe!

In the decades past the DUNE novels first publication DUNE has been wonderfully illustrated! These modern artist did what Frank could-would not do. I have found much to ponder and enjoy while researching! You can barely find art that is consistent in design, but some of it is similar in the basic vision of the concept. Look up any character or the beloved worms; you will find great variation, and I like it, because much of it is well done.

The Dune-fog-vision has made it easy for me to use the models and miniatures that I like and that look the way I want them to look. I am happy to report that I have found great models that matchup with what I see when reading the wonderful DUNE Novels. With GW being inspired by Classic Sci-Fi properties like DUNE and the wild selection available on Etsy this new adventure has been a lot of fun.

The Sisterhood is a small but potent faction in The DUNE Universe timeline I have set my skirmish game in. I am using them as mercenaries and provacatures. My Sisters are going to function much like my Spice Pirates who often show up at any time, and almost anywhere: particularly during a battle they intend to manipulate to their advantage! I will also have small groups of Sisters allied with most of the other factions. I can add their heroines to any Great House too of course... which will be great fun.

As I planned my DUNE Miniatures Game I did a lot of NEW Research since I recently started reading the Brian Herbert main storyline Dune Universe Prequel Novels. I looked at what other DUNE enthusiast have done with scratch and limited release/converted miniatures and models too!

DUNE: HOUSE CORRINO

BOSS SHOP: MCP - MARVEL KNIGHTS MONSTERS: VAMPYRE

I love these Vampire miniatures. I am going to use them for MARVEL KNIGHTS and ELDRITCH HORROR games... of course! The bats are a forthcoming expansion for Warhammer Quest Cursed City. I am going to do some fun and easy conversions on some of these models and swap out the magnetized bases to make them look correct for each game setting.
