FFG STAR WARS GAMES - GEN CON 2016 REPORT: THURSDAY & FRIDAY!

Fantasy Flight Games made their presence known in a great BIG way this year at GEN CON!



Thursday


Fantasy Flight Games announced their forthcoming updated version of an old classic that I have always loved; DOOM! I am going to get this game... it is just to cool to ignore. This is going to be the first 30MM Miniatures Game that I have owned since 2000... it is time for something cool in The Battle Parlor other than all of my beloved spaceships.



A lot of cool little news items for X-WING WAVE NINE showed up; like all of the dials and other details. My take on it is that: FFG is down-playing ACE-Wing and way upping the actual FUN OF X-WING.

Friday

We got a ton of happy news for The STAR WARS Spaceship Games today... Wow Just Wow!!! I absolutely love all of X-WING WAVE Ten (admittedly the silly QJ is kinda ... well we'll see how it works out)!
I have wanted The Ren-BAT for a while now, and as you may know I picked up optional models for it, which have been fun to have. Now that the larger better official version of the Epsilon Shuttle is coming that makes me extremely happy!

ARMADA Wave V is super cool. I mean who does not want to get more Squadrons and and another set of the wonderful REBELS Ships. Great work Fantasy Flight! I think the complaining assholes can go cry in a corner; because everything we are seeing now is nothing but on point with The MODERN Cannon and will make both of these excellent games better in a number of interesting ways!


I think that (minus a SCUM HUGE Ship - which may still show up later this year) the first half of GEN CON care of Fantasy Flight Games was just awesome. I am thinking about adding The Mansions Of Madness to my buy list too now after all of the fun expansions sets got previewed late in the day.

Awesomeness Gang!


Happy Boss out!


FFG ANNOUNCES X-WING WAVE TEN!!!

FFG brings the NEW STAR WARS Film Era with a full preview of Wave Ten in their I'll Show You The Dark Side article! Look to The NEW Films and REBELS my friends, this is where the wonderful new toys are coming from from now on.


First Order Star Brothers and Sisters... we have REN-BAT!!!





We also have wonderful Sabine... again, and that is just a fun and cool surprise... I LOVE IT!



The Force Awakens also brings us an odd but a cool little SCUM Ship... that ain't an EPIC HUGE Ship... GRRrrr...



Well there we go gang... X-WING WAVE TEN. Keep doing great work Fantasy Flight!


HAPPY Boss is going to bed now... and dreaming about BATS!

GEN CON 2016... TIC-TOK...

We are just two days away from GEN CON 2016! I think we are going to have a good event with all kinds of fun new goodies for X-WING and ARMADA. The big deal that I (and many other Star Brothers & Sisters) are hoping for is a preview of an EPIC SCUM Huge Ship or Wave 10 for X-WING and or Wave 5 for ARMADA.



It is going to be cool I bet. I will be posting the news ASAP for this event, as always during these special weekends. Hurray Summer has a few goodies in it!


 Happily Anxious Boss out!

FFG PREVIEWS THE SHADOW CASTER EXPANSION!

FFG previews The Shadow Caster in their Full Of Surprises article. Fantasy Flight is going towards the cool CINEMATIC PLAY here in a big way with this crazy ship... I LOVE IT!


 


This is just FUN! Great work Fantasy Flight Games; make them math-wingies factor in this RPG-styled game mechanic... Haa-Hee-Hoo! We veterans have been doing this sort of thing in EPIC for years now, but it is so cool to see it getting officially included in the game. This sort of creativity will turn a few ACE-Wingers to the lighter fun side of this wonderful game... maybe.


Very Amused Boss out!

COLLECTION DIARY: JULY 2016

I am happily continuing to pay off my New DELL and Monitor, but I can still sneak in a few other goodies, and this month I got some cool Micro Machines for STAR WARS ARMADA & X-WING.


I went to Wally World and strolled into the toy section for the first time since X-Mas. Sure enough there was some goodies waiting for me. The First Order Star Destroyer Playset had been reduced to $4.97... Glory of Glory; I got two... dammit!
These are nice sets for ARMADA as this huge toy is in scale with the other Imperial Ships. The fun little X-Wings and TIE Fo Fo's are going to be cool for making several 3D Derbies Tokens!


Final GLORY; way in the back of the ship racks there was one BLACK Upsilon Shuttle... that had prolly been left there for months. I had to grab that baby up! Now I have The Black Astral-bat and The Bone Reaver all up in my First Order Fleet!


Of course I already have The BOSS Emote done for all of these babies... cause.




Happy Boss out!
