Weekly update #7 - 2/17/18

Writing this post in week #8 as I was out of town having fun and away from the computer last week for 5 days. I did manage to get just a little bit done on the hobby front though. Just a couple basecoat colors on some pestilent rats. 


These minis would be a lot more fun to paint if I hadn't primed them in something terrible which rejects layered paint on top. I'm hoping I can use this to my "advantage" to make them look extra gritty and diseased. We'll see if I can keep my cool throughout the whole lot. I still have an entire Virulent Horde to assemble and paint after this lot! 


And of course I finally got some primer on the Nurgle lot from last week. Looking forward to getting these fat flyboys on the table to see what they are capable of!

While I was away from home I played a few rounds of this game I picked up on a whim last month. 


It's basically a single player solitaire game played with a tarot deck and dungeon crawl/rpg elements. Pretty fun! The basic rules are easy to pick up and I managed to "win" on my third game after getting all of the treasure hordes and making my way back out of the dungeon alive. The original game rules are free for download so check it out if you are interested. You can play the basic set with just a deck of cards.

Chaos Marauders - new card game release from Fantasy Flight Games.

Lately I feel like my blog has turned into a damn advertising site. Hopefully this will be the last "look at this!" post for awhile - if FFG ever stops releasing nerdy Warhammer related stuff... still, have you seen this?




Chaos Marauders is a cool looking new Card game for 2 to 4 player from Fantasy Flight Games. Here is the "pitch" from the site:
"A vast Chaos army is marching north, when suddenly the sprawling mass of bored and surly Orcs grinds to a halt because of yet another petty feud. In Chaos Marauders, each player takes control of one of the Orc clans involved, ready to show all the other mangy little creeps who’s boss of dis ‘ere scabby battle mob. You’ll stop at nothing to win. No amount of trickery will be low enough, no amount of thugish brutality too vile. Who knows, you may even get the mysterious Chaos Marauders on your side. Only one tribe can come out on top – will it be yours?"
But how does it play? Good question! I have no idea, but this description has piqued my interest! This is apparently a reissue of an older game originally published in 1987. With the low, low, price of $24.95 I expect to pick it up once it is released later this year.

If you have played the older edition, or have any other info on this game, leave a comment and let me know about it!
