BOSS SHOP: ARMADA PIRATE CLANS - OUTER RIM HEROES ⚡🏴‍☠️🌌 PART 1

"There Is No Such Thing As Luck."

BLACK  SIX RED  SEVEN

I am very happy that I will finally have most of the STAR WARS HEROES from the OUTER RIM in my STAR WARS ARMADA Collection! There are a few more to get but this set Mel did for me covers the Must Haves. This set covers 40+ years of REAL STAR WARS.

I included all of my relevant BOSS EMOTES for fun to show who is being represented by these wonderful ships. Do you know who they all are?

 THANKS MEL!

THANKS MEL! 

🤗🛒💞

 

The Rim Wraiths of Duke Erhn are an elite faction of former Imperial loyalist. They use bold tactics and have access to special technical assets that they had been developing for the Empire. My badassed "Wraith Pirates" come from the days of my STAR WARS ROLEPLAY - WEST END GAMES era. These cool models from 🔥 MEL's Miniatures 🌌 are going to be the First Strike Force of the Outer Rim Wraith Pirates!

COLLECTION DIARY: OCTOBER 2022

 

Thus begins my LOTR Miniatures collection. I am using many miniatures that are from other games and companies to play my LOTR: Middle-Earth SB GAME scenarios. These will be heavy on Tolkien's world which includes the often overlooked elements of Gothic Horror. Some of these wonderful monsters will of course also appear in my Lovecraft and MCP Marvel Nights games.

I got my first sets of wonderful STAR TREK Fighters and Shuttles this fall... they make me very happy!

HALLOWEEN Collecting Boss out!

BOSS' BIG STAR TREK: FIGHTERS & SHUTTLES - SET 1 FALL 2022

I started this little FIGHTERS & SHUTTELS project seven months ago to the day.

I meant to buy these much sooner than I finally did, but Eaglemoss kept having great sales on their expensive BIG Models that I wanted.

I had a few Trekers ask about scale so here you go: If you are using AMT 1/2500 or standard sized Eaglemoss ships (about 5 inches long) you want to buy the 1/2500 and 1/1700 scale Fighter & Shuttle models. The Klingon Korinar (above), Borg Tactical Probes (below), and Andorian Interceptors (below-below) are all 1/2500 scale.✨⚡🔥

 What glorious horror is this... and on Halloween month! 

Now that I have these first squadron leader and single hero ships I am very happy that I decided to do this. All of the craft that I am buying also come as formed squadrons and I will have several of these in my fleets. I love having little DS9 styled battles and these tiny cool-ass Fighters and Shuttles make it all so much extra fun and exciting! ✨⚡🔥

BIG TREK MAKING STAW BETTER Boss out!

BOSS' BIG STAR TREK: NEW FIGHTERS & SHUTTLES PART 1

I am adding NEW Boss' BIG Approved FIGHTERS & SHUTTLES to my beloved Big Attack Wing Collection. To get the party started I went with some badass Fighters for my top two Factions; FEDERATION and KLINGON of course!

The Federation's first new fighter is the AC-307 MkII Valkyrie. Valkyries are Rapid Warping Heavy Attack two-seater Aero Fighters!

This was the second iteration of the Valkyrie-class Warp Fighter. The Mk II - commonly called the Gryphon - was designed for attacking stronger opponents. Compared to the Mk I, it included upgrades to the nacelles for faster maximum and emergency warp ratings, improved pulse phasers, and stronger shields.

The original Valkyrie - the Mk I - first appeared as a new warp fighter aboard an experimental Typhon-class carrier. The Valkyrie was intended to replace the ageing fleet of Peregrine-class fighters currently in use throughout the fleet. Smaller and more agile, Valkyrie-class fighters were used for a variety of missions. Unlike the Peregrine-class, the Valkyrie was intended to be used in small groups, which made it ideal for fighter wing groups.

The Wizzies Trio of Attack Fighter Expansions are still around for about $20 + inflated shipping.

The Klingon's first new fighter is the Imperial Klingon Phantom Raider. Phantoms are Rapid Cloaking Heavy Attack three-seater Aero Fighters!

The Imperial Klingon Raider NIyma (trans. "Phantom") was the most advanced raider craft in the Klingon Defence Force's fleet as of 2381. Heavily armed, fast and maneuverable, they were still slower than the Valkyrie and Valravn-program fighters of the Federation, yet they made up for what they lacked in speed with their durability and weaponry. Fitted with both pulse disruptors as well as two heavy disruptor cannons, along with a new hard-point system, they were a craft to be reckoned with in close engagements. Their limited cloaking ability also held a crucial tactical role.

The Wizzies Trio of Attack Fighter Expansions are still around for about $20 + inflated shipping.

COLLECTION DIARY: CHRISTMAS 2018

This month The Collection Diary is all about having a cool little CYLON Christmas here at The Battle Parlor; mainly because it is fun and I got two wonderful EPIC Scale Cylon Baseships!

I am very pleased to finally own BATTLESTAR GALACTICA STARSHIP BATTLES!

THE CYLONS HAVE ARRIVED!!!

I hope everyone (even you Colonials) are having a Wonderful Holiday! My Cylons and I are!

😁🎅🎄🍾🎁🎀🎉

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...

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!
