Halfmen by Westfalia Miniatures

thomasriepe , ,

I got some pre production halfmen by Westfalia Miniatures in the post yesterday.  They are very nice miniatures very crisply cast in a very sturdy resin. Read what Westfalia Miniatures says about the new range of fantasy miniatures here.

Here are the pictures of the minis I got:

First a group shot:

all

next up a comparison with a Perry bowman. I think they fit quite nicely.

all with Perry

And here are the pictures of the single figures:

I will see how they paint up and post pictures here then. They are already basecoated. The figures will be avalable according to Westfalia Miniatures in December probably as a kickstarter.

I added a page for the figures my son paints. He is painting figures for quite a long time now . I think he is quite good at it, He even won an award at the Salute painting competition a few years back.

He is a big Star Wars fan and plays a lot of Imperial Assault at the moment here are a few figures from the game he painted up:

The Force Awakens

Fantasy flight games announces the new starter box for x wing.

Featuring beautifully detailed painted miniatures, X-Wing is a two-player game of dramatic starfighter battles set in the Star Wars universe. You and your opponent take command of Resistance X-wings and First Order TIE fighters, then battle head-to-head for the fate of the galaxy.

Secretly plot your maneuvers, fly at your enemies, take aim, and fire. It takes just minutes to learn the rules, but the nearly limitless possibilities for squad building, along with the ability to expand your fleet with other ships from the game’s expansions, ensure that you’ll find plenty of Star Wars action to explore and enjoy for years to come!

Man your ships… And may the Force be with you!

A game of Imperial Assault

My son is a huge fan of Star Wars. So we had a couple of games of Imperial Assault. I must say it is a game system which is very easy to learn and gives a very star wars like feel while playing.

We played leave no evidence as a single scenario not as a campaign setting and had great fun.

Sadly I have to admit that the evil empire won . Don”t ask which side I played ! It is to embarrassing !
