Full Spectrum Dominance Solo Swarm Test

The solo swarm mode has been available for testing for quite some time, but only recently was I actually able to set up a game. When playing solo (and not only then) I like to know the rules, but I do not want to understand the deep meaning and strategies of how to play (at least not from the very beginning). I like to take an approach to learning by feeling. It's a new game mode, which I want to experience in the same way Marines from the Sulaco experienced xenomorphs in Aliens 2 ;) What does that mean exactly? I knew how the swarm would move and that it would use cards but I did not try to understand what's the optimal strategy for dealing with them, what actions I should take and which I should avoid. I also wanted to use a standard list rather than anything specially tailored for swarm hunting. That's why I took my regular 40 points demo list and expanded it with 20 points that would arrive on turn three. Think of it as a regular unit called off from the front line to

Pyrkon 2024 - my view

It's after Pyrkon and I'm full of positive energy! Initially, I was unsure if I should even go (as always) but am I glad that I actually did! It all started sometime at the beginning of the year when the official Pyrkon Facebook profile posted that Joseph McCullough, the author of Frostgrave/Stargrave was going to appear in person!

So my first ever Frostgrave game was with the author of Frostgrave! And boy was it a hit! Let's just say that it went waaaay better than expected here is an official post on the Facebook Frostgrave group, and I also got a custom dedication in my Frostgrave rulebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/Frostgrave/posts/2653389374840829/ As for my events, I prepared for t

How to Paint: The Tech Full Spectrum Dominance

The Tech aka. Deadly mechanical AI (probably a direct descendant of ChatGPT!) From Full Spectrum Dominance have an official colour of a distinct yellow. While it is not obligatory in any way to paint them that waty I always find it helpfull to at least semi follow official painting schemes (at least for the first army). This is my painting tutorial for achieving a nice vibrant yellow in 6mm scale :) The paints we will need Black Grey (can be easily substituted with a mix of black and white, I simply like painting grey to the level that I buy gray paints) White Pale yellow Vallejo game color Vallejo air chrome yellow I used an airbrush but the recepie should be replicable with normal brushes if your paints are thinned properly and you aply multiple thin coats. after cleaning the casts and setting upfor painting (I highly recommend this method of setup and painting, makes life much much easier) Start with a black primer Follow up with grey as a zenithal (spray from above leaving the bla
