Check it out after the jump!

What’s Inside My Box: LNoE – Timber Peak & Blood in the Forest

Last Night on Earth is of the first modern board games I ever owned/received/played/bought. Flying Frog Productions has released many expansions as well as a standalone expansion. That is what I have here. It needed a better way to store all its plastic, cardboard, and tiles and I believe I have found a good enough solution. It suits my needs…as long as I hold it a certain way.

See what I mean in the video after the jump!

This is why I don’t buy inserts.

Fantasy Flight Games has reminded me why I don’t buy inserts for my board games. Making custom ones with foamcore is a different story but that takes so much time to do. But here comes Zenbins with a really neat, easy to use insert to present everything perfectly and fights nicely and now it is ruined!

Painted Mini’s: Kayn Somos, Trooper Commander

I’ve recently started to paint some of my miniatures. Half the fun is painting them and the other half is seeing them on the table. You might get to play the games with me but I can make sure you can see them!

The Stormtroopers for Imperial Assault were among the first minis I painted. This expansion pack leader is probably among my favorites and he came out really well. So hit the jump and check him out in 360 degrees and his description.

Behold, Kayn Somos! Continue reading Painted Mini’s: Kayn Somos, Trooper Commander
