Picked up the new Crux Terminatus box set today; the new GW Assault Terminators are in the box. Idiotskies on eBay are trying to sell this box for 30% over retail: insane. I got mine for retail, and 10% back in store credit. Wasn’t that hard to get it.

I genuinely loathe eBay for what it’s become.

@zoidpinhead at the show I was today there was a dedicated section of the show that was dedicated to buying used boardgames.

It was great to see how wargames were taking more floor space.

Pledge. More painting. Probably 0200 Hours, or maybe Traitors Toll.

I have tried Silver Bayonet and had minimal success. Also own Five Parsecs and more recently Forgotten Ruin.

I have several solo/coop…[Read more]

Pledge: finish the PaintComp entry (nearly done) and paint some more minis that are primed.

I have no answer this time because I’m really curious what you lot use if and when you play solo games.
