Happy Hobby time folks 🙂

> 1. Regale us with an anecdote from a game where you really hadn’t earned the win but it was handed to you by a lucky card or die roll.

*eh* that would mean I had to win something at all …

Dropfleet Commander

A game set in space that did several good things :

• fights happen at a logical location : next to the planet
• it respects the size of space
• not too technical
• great miniatures

The link to their Dropzone commander was an interesting aspect as well.

 

3. Transformers the Miniatures Game – Could it ever work?

Why not ?
I think the tricky part is picking a scale that does justice to the transformers while still allowing their vehicle modes to be useful.

I was thinking of the A-team recently … it would be kind of cool to see it done with a bit more realism.
The only problem is that their DIY inventions are unlikely to work in a realistic setting, but it wouldn’t be the same if they couldn’t use improvised weapons & vehicles either.

Pledge wise I think I will look at creating a list for AoS. The Gloomspite Gitz look so cool that I want to build them.
