Plastic Ork Warboss: First Impressions

Games Workshop has finally succeeded in making a cool plastic ork warboss model.

Over the last few months on Dragged into Turbolasers, we have been talking about the new Warhammer 40k Ork models, starting with their first reveals for the new edition. The models are finally available in stores, so we decided to purchase some to assess their quality firsthand. The warboss model was one of our favorites from the released photographs, so we thought it would be a good one to put together!

Games with Brad: Flames of Orion

Crimson Spectre advances through the blackened wasteland under the light of a full moon.

Brad and I recently played a game of Flames of Orion, a mech combat game designed by Steve (sovthofheaven) of Under the Dice/Hive Scum. For this particular game we decided to play a modified version of the scenario Hold the Line. The defining characteristic of this scenario is that each player only deploys one mech at a time. Once one is destroyed, the next mech is deployed until there is only mech standing, the winner of the scenario. Additionally, the scenario is set around one player defending a dropship, which we promptly ignored. For the game, I used a random collection of models to stand in as mechs and Dark Spirit. Brad used some 3d printed mech models designed by bigbossredskullz.

A while back, Trench Crusade teamed up with Jon Hodgson from Handiwork Games to create a series of backdrop books to enhance miniature photography, funded via Kickstarter. Recently, I saw that Julian Wild (@hightechoger), an incredibly talented photographer, got some of the backdrop books and used them to amazing effect. This inspired me to order one of the books, World War Ruins Backdrops, in their smaller A4 size. I received the book quickly and wanted to share a few images I created with it.
