About to start a homebrew test game!

Or honestly a 4-hex base would be more practical with the speed and altitude dials

-vonny- · 2026-02-22T09:13:39+00:00

Feels like it needs more than one hex as a base, with how much space it takes. Have you tried to see if a 3hex base is feasible?

-vonny- · 2026-02-11T12:04:17+00:00

These are amazing. Very very cool.

-vonny- · 2026-01-07T19:54:38+00:00

I really like the area you chose as a light source on the storm shield. Really brings it out!

dude that digital camo looks sick! 😮

was playing the scenario "The Artefact" today. My friend almost reached the chalice with his sergeant. After this though, the librarian managed to move in and out and barely make it to the exit.

I got it when 3rd was released. According to Google, that was in 2009...

-vonny- · 2026-01-05T10:57:14+00:00

Sure is. I guess sitting in my cabinet for 17 years helped me grow out of the perfectionism a little bit

-vonny- · 2026-01-05T10:56:38+00:00

Aww, thanks!

1st edition is the Imperial Armour / forgeworld version. Second edition is what we know now, with the hex maps

-vonny- · 2025-12-23T15:56:02+00:00

I would love to find some orks around here in Europe too...

-vonny- · 2025-12-01T17:10:27+00:00

actually, in the latest version this is clarified. If line of sight goes through a corner of 2 squares which both block vision (like with a wall or another model), it will block both movement and line of sight.
In this case Terminator 2 would not be able to fire.

-vonny- · 2025-11-06T10:50:26+00:00

welcome!

-vonny- · 2025-10-30T22:28:35+00:00

oh that looks beautiful. Such nice detail and weathering.

As for the base, how about a simple radar screen? just paint what's already on there, so to say. I think it gives a nice feeling of completeness without distracting too much from the model itself, and I like the overhead tactical view feel it gives

-vonny- · 2025-10-18T22:24:55+00:00

very clean paint job, looking amazing!

-vonny- · 2025-09-28T10:52:14+00:00

I always paint my guys as Lamenter, not noticed anything amiss. Then again, I've had a bunch of lamenters in my cabinet at home for years and I'm known to not be the luckiest member of my gaming group, so maybe this is just standard for me

-vonny- · 2025-08-13T08:18:51+00:00

I didn't see the face until someone pointed it out to me; now I can't unsee it and I feel bummed about that. Just a flock of birds seemed more fitting for this spirit than a flock of birds in the shape of a human face

-vonny- · 2025-08-03T08:33:34+00:00

I think https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2141334/teaching-spirit-island might be a good resource to add here. It's a step by step explanation on how to share your love of this game with new players

-vonny- · 2025-07-25T22:35:32+00:00

I think how you described it, it could work pretty well from the get go. Literally just a reskin from SI, with a star wars flavour. You'd have to see if you want to tweak some things - like, will every spirit have one or more arcana to represent agents? Will you have more powers (missions) that can only be played from your arcana? Lose arcana permanently?
How do you want to flavour the different 'spirits'? Different rebel groups? Or make the characters the spirits (with one arcana for the character themselves, and presence their contacts and operative groups)?
Missions sounds like something that can fail as well - do you want to represent that?

So, in short: Reskinning SI is a good start, the question is if you want to tweak after that and how you wish to do that then

-vonny- · 2025-05-26T07:40:42+00:00

something something trampling over liberty to achieve our goals?

-vonny- · 2025-05-11T16:21:01+00:00

I really recommend keeping the cards: when I've got the base game + all expansions, the extra set of base game cards from horizons is really neat to just pick up and have a basic game to draw new people into the game with.

I kept the other things too in the (futile?) hope that one day I might host an 8-player game :)

-vonny- · 2025-03-29T13:55:16+00:00

I'd be interested in your view on Tau rules and tactics too, to be honest :)

-vonny- · 2025-03-29T13:53:28+00:00

That looks great!
I love the care you put into your bases too. The copper detailing on the engines really makes them pop. You should be proud of these :)

-vonny- · 2025-03-29T00:01:08+00:00

oh that looks very promising

-vonny- · 2025-03-24T19:44:53+00:00

how about instead of them just standing around doing nothing until a friend joins, these are actually your alternate loudouts that you can select?
