Space Marine Demo

I came across the Space Marine Demo in the Playstation Store 2 days ago and downloaded it.  I was impressed.  If you are looking for it on your system, check out the info page here.  I have to say I was impressed.  I do not normally enjoy this style of game but there was something incredibly satisfying about smashing Orks and Gretchin while blasting about with a jump pack.  Others will write better reviews but I recommend checking out the free demos.  And I am asking Santa for a jump pack.

I Hate Epic Caine

Epic Caine and Epic Stryker might be great if you like to super-pose your miniatures.  I prefer for the pieces to fit.  Do you see that right leg?  Even in the stock photo, it is a little askew and the foot does not lay flush with the base.  Below is what the mini looks like with the arms glued on.  When trying to position that leg, Caine ends up with a club foot, bow legged, knock-kneed, or a combination there of.  Grrr...

I finally just super glued it and hoped for the best.  I am fairly certain I should have pinned it but I just did not want to screw around with it anymore.  Caine is the one on the lower right.  Next to him is a one armed Epic Stryker.  He is almost as bad.  There are also 2 last rangers, Classic Haley, and a DnD fig getting their bases.  The only one finding this process relaxing is the bear in the hot tub.

The Next Battle Engine

While letting the glue dry, I noticed a close resemblance to Cygnar's Storm Strider...

Cygnar's next battle engine!  What do you think?

Here is the Firefly with fully magnetized arms.

Setting Goals

I have been trying to get back into the mini's and blogging.  I am doing pretty good so far.  In the past week, I have worked on a few projects.

• Cygnar Firefly glued and magnetized.
• Cygnar Rangers glued and primed.
• Cygnar Trenchers glued and primed.
• Circle of Orborus Druids glued and primed.
• Gnome character for DnD pinned and glued.
• Tiefling character for DnD glued and primed
• Cygnar caster Classic Haley glued.
• Continuing to glue the stupid eStriker and eCain Cygnar casters.

Before September 1st, I want to finish:

• Prime the Cygnar Firefly and Haley.
• Paint the DnD Tiefling

Specifically, the DnD Tiefling is going to be used in our game on Thursday night and I want to have it done for the next battle.  So September 1st is my goal.  Let's see how it goes...
