X-Wing: Rebel Aces Expansion


The new X-Wing expansion is now in my grubby little mitts. 


It's chock full of goodness! I can't wait to get these guys on the table. 

I'm not crazy about either of the paint jobs...I know, I know, picky right....the A-Wing is the better of the two. I just don't like the blue. The B-Wing looks sloppy. 

I'm a big fan of B-W's so I'm happy to get another with additional pilot cards. 

I have an A-W but only got it to get the ship upgrades.

Hopefully I get get a quick game in soon to highlight these ships. 

Can't wait for the upcoming releases!

KEGSCon

Yesterday the Kent-Essex Gaming Society hosted their second wargaming event in Chatham ON.

I was unable to attend as I was working. The 3.5hr drive (one way) wasn't very appealing but I would have gone if I was off.

I'm waiting for pictures to appear online as they have GM'd some pretty decent games at Hotlead.

Building Terrain - Large Farmhouse

Bit of a break since the last post. I built the Sarissa Precision Large Farmhouse sometime last week but finally got around to talking some pictures. 

On to the review. Another nice flat pack piece of kit. Three (or four, oops it's been a while) sheets of 2mm MDF and a sheet of 1mm card.

Again a nicely laid out diagram and exploded diagram for easy installation.

The kit went together pretty easy. I read a review that stated the floors and roof have little tabs (that clip it all together) that are a pain but I didn't find it a pain. It separates quite easily.


Finished. Looks pretty good.



With the roof off. Just two separate rooms.


With the second floor off. One large room, one small room and an overhang.


All three pieces separately.


I really enjoy Sarissa Precision kits and look forward to getting many more. The 1mm card pieces were fiddly. Especially the archways.
