Was it a star wars legion home brew scenario? I typically had been an empire player but play all 4 factions. I’ve played empire the most. Clones and droids the second most, and got in one game with rebels. With my purchases combined with the power of my 3D modeling skills and printers I have literally a few thousand models for legion. Including every unit that can be played to its maximum amount in the biggest of game modes. I even have everything that has been spoiled but not yet released. What I super great with legion right now is that with the current rules reference guide and errata, pretty much anything you pick to play is really fun and balanced. I’m just trying to knock out all my painting que of them all.

I think it was a total homebrew. The map was tiles used for movement.
Empire was mostly At-Ats and a St or two.
We started with a bunch of land speeders.
Each side got reinforcements that were known characters.

Been awhile since posting here on the frostgrave and other minis games forum. I wanted to share my excitement about a new paint line that's come out. It's similar to citadel contrast paints but at about half the price. I love to paint minis and have a pretty high mini painting count but think this will make my mini painting even more enjoyable and go even faster. Figured I'd give a shout on here since I pre-ordered the mega set of them for a good deal this morning. @Hahma . Here's a link to one of the many videos out there on the army painter speedpaints. Hope you guys get as hyped as I am about these.

@TREX - Thanks for the recommendation. Ive only dabbled with crappy paints so far but I went all in on the masters of the universe Kickstarter so I'm going to have more unpainted minis than ever before in the future so something quick and effective will be required. I also didn't want to chhep out this time as it's a significant investment.

Thanks @TREX ! I'll have to look into those paints.

Though I have greatly decreased the amount of minis I am buying, waiting to finish up with what I have already. I just got divorced in January and while I kept the house and have more than enough room for minis, I've got a new mortgage that I have to pay by myself as well as two daughters in college. On top of that, my ex and I are buying the girls cars. We just got a 2016 Kia Soul for the one daughter on Saturday and have one more vehicle to buy the other daughter.

Add on to that, I recently found out that the digestive issues and some terrible experiences over the past 3 years is from gallstones. So I have to see a surgeon onnthe 27th for a consultation and then likely a test to see the function level of the gallbladder (for insurance reasons) and then see if they are going to remove it. Normally people are out of work for a couple weeks, but since I have a very physical job, I will likely miss at least 3 weeks.

So maybe I may be able to get some painting done in that time, we'll see.

Been a crappy several months, so hopefully things get better.

Hang in there Hahma. I hope they are able to make you feel better.

Thanks Tornado! Me too. I just have to be really careful what I eat in the meantime.

Sorry to hear how rough things have been going for you . Hoping the best for you on the health issues. I know first hand how horrible that stuff can make things. Hope things turn around for you and get better. I've slowed down on getting new stuff as well for the most part and have concentrated on trying to get what I have painted. Seeing these new speedpaints as a great answer to that at about half the price as contrast paints got me excited, so I got some ordered and wanted to give a shout to some of you guys that I know paint as well to help you guys knock out projects more quickly.

Thanks Trex!

We all could have uses those speed paints a couple years ago 😄 but better late than never.
