Roebeast's Magical House of Sunshine

Even when I was younger and had a bit more disposable income than I do now, I always looked to reviews (mostly through my friends) to let me know if a game was worth picking up or not. Reviews are a vital resource so as to not end up with a new game/model that will just sit on your shelf, collecting dust, but instead see plenty of table time.

Here's a list of reviews we found over this past week.

Read down to the bottom, if you wouldn't mind, as I've got some questions for you and a contest as well.

In this issue:

Sadly I post the final issue of the excellent 1980s hobby magazine Fantasy Modeling. This one is a doozy featuring two articles by my spirit ancestor Andrew P. Yanchus, space ship building on a budget, building a spray booth and other great stuff. Read it slowly, soak it in, for it's the last of the good stuff.

Roebeast has put up the rules for their Trash Bash 2013 modelling and painting competition over on their blog.



From the announcement:

Hi everyone. Rules are now online for Trash Bash 2013!

If you like to kit-bash or scratch-build check out this annual contest, now in its third year! We have some excellent sponsors and outstanding judges such as gaming legend Rick Priestley and Bryan Steele of Ravage Magazine.

The last couple of Trash Bashes have been a lot of fun and showcased the amazing talents of gamers and modelers all over the world. I'm sure this year will add even more inspirational builds and I can't wait to see them.

Thanks!

Nameless Design Miniatures has another horror to drive you insane over on their website: the Elder Thing with disruptor weapon.



From the website:

Just a few quick pictures of the Elder Thing with disruptor weapon. I wanted the design of their weapons to be very Baroque and semi-organic without being bio-mechanical. These weapons can be fired in various ways. A lower setting produces uncomfortable heat and blistering, this is the setting most often used to control wayward shoggoths. By increasing the power of the weapon the Elder Things can cause biological material to boil or burn. And at its highest setting it will rip apart molecular bonds with highly explosive results.
