Happy Halloween! It has been a rather busy last half of October for me; I’ve had exams, papers due, had Soul Calibur 6 come out, and so it has been a little crazy for me. There are a good number of things to talk about now though, and I will work through some of those.
Soul Calibur 6
First I want to touch on Soul Calibur 6, and it has been fantastic so far, it reminds me much of the older games in the series. It is quite the departure from Soul Calibur 5 which sucked quite a bit in my opinion. They did that whole thing where they tried to replace most the characters you love with crappy younger replicas of them that make you wonder why bother replacing them at all? The sixth entry does not do that kind of thing and takes it back to its roots, which it does so amazingly. I wanted to say that I love this game and it is fantastic, I highly recommend it. I even broke down and bought a fancy edition which I haven’t done in a long time, I know I shouldn’t have but I did anyhow :/
Kill Team Commanders
I picked up the Commanders expansion to Kill Team and I like everything that is has to offer, especially since one can think of it as just an expansion to Kill Team. There are many who prefer the sanctity of keeping it just at the troop level and leaving the HQ/Elites at home, which I definitely understand. However, I do appreciate the narrative campaign opportunity to include some of these harder hitting models and do some cool stuff with them. The ones I am most excited to use are the Deathwatch Watch Master, Deathguard Plague Surgeon and the Dark Eldar Archon. Speaking of Deathwatch Watch Master that guy comes in at a whopping 125 points! That really makes taking a Primaris option actually attractive (and practical) despite my thoughts on having Primaris guys in any sort of command of veterans like the Deathwatch. Commanders comes stock with all new specialisms to give your Commanders, the Strategist and Strength ones making a return from Rogue Trader, with many of them being reminiscent of ones that the other troops can take. For example, the Melee specialism at base gives an extra attack to the model similar to the Combat specialism at a glance, but has different stratagems and better abilities the higher the level. Overall the types of commander specialists you can make are pretty cool and can probably fulfill whatever role you could think of.
On top of all the stats, specialisms, and stratagems, you have new missions in the book that sound pretty fun. This one Heroic Stand sounds like a lot of fun, and could be really awesome to play.
Apart from Commanders I continued to fill my ranks of models and think I am done assembling various kinds of Kill Teams for now, save for maybe Necrons in the near future. Anyhow here have been my projects as of late:
Well that is all I have really been up to in the past couple weeks besides work and school, so that is all I really had to talk about for now. The Blackstone Fortress stuff that has been coming out will certainly give me more to talk about once it has all been revealed. I have also been slowly working on a post talking about Warhammer 40K video games after I played Space Hulk Tactics. Then finally I will definitely have more to say about Wrath & Glory as I finally sink my teeth into it. Anyhow that is all for now, until next time!
For some reason, i cannot always comment on your postsz seems like a bussy month indeed
Hm that’s really weird, everything should be able to be commented on.. And yeah it really was, but should be slower times ahead until December atleast.
