StarCraft TBG Strategy: Game Prelude

Prelude – Orders – Protoss – Zerg – Terrans – Wrapup
This is the first in a planned series of posts on StarCraft Boardgame strategy. In this first post, I’ll merely gloss over factions and races, and show up some general strategies that work with all races, and apply to all games. It will also mostly [...]

StarCraft TBG German Card Translations

I got the Brood War expansion for the great StarCraft board game for christmas from my beloved wife, how great is that. I’ll tell you: Totally awesome.
Whether you know the game or not, this FFG promo video is very well-made and worth watching either way:

Back when I got the original game, I invited some friends [...]

World of Goo has a Soundtrack

Well, it always had. But now the sountrack to World of Goo (which I reviewed earlier) is actually available online, too.
Get the soundtrack from here.
If all the raving reviews everywhere didn’t win you over, maybe this will And maybe you, just like me, merely appreciate that the independent developer that you already supported [...]

Dead Space: First Impressions

And the best part, it’s absolutely, totally, [...]

Doom: We’ve Got Marines!

Yay, I finished the marines for the Doom boardgame before the LAN party tomorrow!
The Cyberdemons and the Spider Queens didn’t make it, but rushing them (or the marines) would be a pity, I’ll rather paint them well with ample time after the weekend.
Without further ado, here’s the whole bunch of the marines. I took Space [...]

Painted Hellknights

I did do other stuff too, today, but painting those large minis sure is a lot of work. Every layer of drybrushing took around 20 minutes…
Still, here they are, in all their glory. They’re one of the strongest monsters of the Doom boardgame, and I tried to make them look the part. Six Hellknights.
Now the [...]

First Hellknight Painted

I didn’t go for the Marines after all, I’m a bit scared of all their details and whatnot. Instead, I tackled the Hellknights – and made good progress so far. So good in fact that the first one is already painted:
The others aren’t exactly as far, as you can see in the picture to the [...]
