World of Warcraft Minis - Omedus the Punisher

That new figure (Omedus the Punisher) is now being shown on the wowminis.com website, it looks pretty neat. I hope the final production figures are as good as these prototypes they keep showing us.

Follow up (one year later) - They are not. :(

Mutant Chronicles is coming!! (I am excited, are you?)

The image area in BGG seems to be filling up (thanks to Jonas Barkå on BGG for the sneak peek photos)... So far I am impressed with these photos... The dice are neat, and although they are similar to Descent and Doom it is nice to have non-standard D6 in the game... the green dice look a little off-color, but I don't know if it is a bad photo or the actual color?

The photo of the Capitol guys looks really nice to me, even at the larger size, the paint details look decent and about what I had expected, the bases look nice and clean as well (aside from the paint scuffs on the one to the right, that is a bummer). Does anyone know what those little holes are for in the base? I assume they are to put those little cardboard tokens into?

The Algeroth minis look great too, these photos look much better for some reason than the other photos we saw the other day, so far so good in my opinion.

The blow up images of individual cards looks good as well, I haven't had the time to read them all, but so far from what I have seen I like it.

The overall layout of the Starter Set is impressive for the price, I hope we'll have more options for maps in the future, and there are a crap load of cards, I didn't realize there were going to be so many, that is good news because I thought we'd be very limited on the card selections.

I am curious to hear what everyone things of the minis in these photos?

Ticket to Ride

Played with Krissy, Wil and Brandon. Wil won but it was close, had the game gone one more turn, I would have been able to make a 3 train connection and put my two longest routes together and secured the victory.

But Wil went out too soon, and I had to throw down a random 2 train route for a few points... had I been able to make that last move and get that last route I would have won by about 10 points or so. Very close game and a lot of fun.

Brandon came in 3rd and Krissy last.

Skip-Bo

Quick game with Brandon. He won. This is a neat little filler game that would be fun to play if you are waiting on someone to show up for a gaming session or have some free time to kill. It is light and easy and fast compared to a game such as Phase 10.

Uno

I remember playing this game when I was a kid, so when Brandon asked to play I couldn't say no. Krissy joined us and we got in a couple of quick games. I liked Skip-Bo better, but I don't think I liked it as much as Phase-10. Uno seemed a little too simple for some reason.

I won the majority of the games.
