Episode Zero - A New Blog.

A long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away


STAR WARS

Episode 0
A NEW BLOG


So, this is it.  I finally have a Star Wars Blog.  It has only taken too long and the release of Episode VII to get me to do this.  But mainly this blog is real now because I now have a couple of friends who are willing to play the Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Imperial Assault game with me on a regular basis.  As I own it all, I will be playing the Imperial forces and they will be playing a Legendary Rebel each.  I'm not sure which ones yet because our first game isn't until the 11th of December, 2015.  A few days before the release of the Force Awakens.

I'm also using this as a driving force (lol) to get my figures painted for this.  With the first mission, Aftermath, I need to have six Stormtroopers, two Imperial Officers, an E-Web Shooter and a Probe Droid painted for the game.  With each game a fortnight later, I will have more to paint in time and before we know it, I will have painted it all, hopefully in time for the release of Return to Hoth.

So part Painting Blog, part Battle Report Blog, and part Creative Outlet, I aim to update this blog weekly, posting about the games, the campaign and the painting.  I'm also going to 'try' to post as a written point of view from the Imperial side.  My next post should have at least the Probe Droid and the Imperial Officers painting, I mean I have undercoated them already, so how hard can it be to paint three figures in a week...?? Right???
