New editions

 There are a few editions of games that I play (or collect) that have come out with a new edition.  Some of the most revised have been Car Wars, Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Blood Bowl, and Space Hulk.

 

Some of the newer small games that I have picked up have done well enough for a second edition.  Sometimes this happens even before I get a chance to get the original to the table.  A few of the Osprey Wargame series have had this happen like Lion Rampant, Gaslands, In Her Majesty’s Name (confirm name).  Of these three I have only picked up the new edition of Gaslands so far. 

 

I even picked up Frostgrave on sale before the second edition came out.  I have picked up most of the older expansions but have not gotten the new edition yet.

 

 

There are three more new editions that are coming out this year.  One for a game I have not played.  One for a game that I have played.  One for a game that I used to play.

 

I have not yet played Street Wars NYC but am in the midst of painting some gangs for it.  I will probably pick up the newer edition, and look forward to a few clarifications on the rules.  There are also two more gangs that I need to pick up, so far.  I will probably not back the kickstarter if there is one but will pick it up afterwards.

 

I have played Don’t Look Back solo already.  The rules could certainly use some tightening up, but the game seems quick, and plays well for the theme.  I have picked up a bunch of the expansions but had been putting off getting the extra rules when I heard that they were going to release a newer edition.  They are running a preorder right now of their site, and I have already ordered the Tier 1 level – with the new book and new Core Heroes, and Killer boxes.  I did not get the Tier 2 level with the extra expansions and terrain, as I will get the expansions later and this will already be pushing the duty limits.

 

Warhammer 40K will be pumping out a new 10th edition.  I haven’t played since probably the 3^rd or 4th edition but have been up the new editions as placeholder sets.  I have not gotten much of 8^th edition codices, or any of the 9^th edition though.  Since it seems like this edition will probably be Tyranids vs Primaris Marines, I will probably get this as well.  It sounds like they might release the rules for the armies online, at least to start, so this would be a good time to get back into it.

 

Figure Painting Total - February 2023

 When Black Site Studios had their sale on Friday Jan 13, I was able to get a few more expansions for Don’t Look Back, as well as a few more figures.  I was also able to find a Marvel Universe Loki for a reasonable price.  The only Marvel Universe figure I am missing now is the Venom figure, as well as the alternate sculpt of Black Widow.  I have a good alternate Heroclix Venom figure to use so I am not worried if I can’t complete the set. 

If I can find some cheap, I would also pick up another Black Panther, Hawkeye, and Vision.  The Black Panther I would paint as the old White Tiger.  The Hawkeye I would paint up as the Dark Avenger’s Bullseye, but I already have a few Heroclix figures of Hawkeye I can use for that as well.  Having a second Vision would allow me to paint them as both the comic version as well as the movie version.  With just one, I am not sure which way to paint it yet.

I was able to get some work done on a bunch of figures in February.  I have four that are done but still need to be clear coated.  The weather was still a bit too cold to be spraying outside.  I was able to get the Black Site Studios figures primed when we had some nice days at the beginning of the month.  This should allow me to refresh what’s on my painting table with new figures.
