This group includes Blaine who is a Mantic special character who has the ability to travel between dimensions, this allows him to appear in multiple games such as the Zombie Blaine I painted last year.
In the world of Star Saga Blaine is the leader of the mercenary company and as such is the biggest bad-ass in space! He costs around 4 times as much as the other choices so may be a good character to take in a solo game. Also completed are Alyse a space wizard (possibly the best kind) and Kira a Sphyr medic / support character. Whilst Alyse drains the life from others Kira is a more traditional healer.
The other two mercenaries who I have cards for are Curby the flying robot and Halftail who I believe is also to be found in the Dreadball arena. Both are ranged fighters and whilst Curby packed a powerful EMP blast Halftail can plant bombs on scenery pieces.
I also got a model for Leesh'ma but no card so I will have to have a look around to see if I can get one, I'm not sure but she may have come with the Reb Alpha booster pack I bought a while back.
So that completes all the forces (and terrain) for Star Saga. The game comes with a solo mode so I may setup the table and play through some of the missions.
So onto the Rebs next, I have glued all the models together and now need to start getting some paint laid down, as long as I don't get distracted by anything else............
Talking of which I put a pre-order in for Clash of Spears, a new ancients large skirmish game. The game looks to use forces similar in size to Saga and initially is designed for battles around the time of the Punic Wars.
Do the base markings have some game significance or do they just match the terrain?
ReplyDeleteAs it happens, neither really, it was something I wanted to try out.
