Gameday with dad, R, and K, and other K

Another great game day with going out for Mexican for lunch and what ended up being 1 long epic saga of a game which finally ended with me and K settling on a tie as we were the only 2 plyers remaining and it was time people had to get going.... but ended up being quite an evenly matched battle.

Setting up for slaughter

K advising K on strategy

victory hexes were raised this time, didn't really like it that much though with larger minis sitting at an angle

melee in the middle... will someone end up in a coffin?

I make my move and grab a middle hex - rolling a 1 against Kilroy costs  me my hero

Slimer can only be hit by magic dmg and this makes him hard to kill - great for holding the middle.

I give you... Dr. Sheldon Cooper - Zombie hunter

I give you... Dr. Sheldon Cooper - Zombie hunter.  complete with Green lantern shirt, lightsaber, and molotov cocktails loaded with light purple handkerchiefs that he got from Raj.  He's prepared for the coming apocalypse....

Dr. Sheldon Cooper - Zombie hunter in action - but sadly he is trapped against the edge of the map by a pack of minotaurs.   He had found an unlikely ally in a rancor - but it is unable to save him.

K built a minis house out of a cardboard box

SHe is really creative and it was really unexpected that she made it, she just asked if she could have a box, and then started chopping and gluing and taping and created this, complete with a separate room inside.

Tried dipping minis in minwax - see the results

They actually mostly turned out pretty good.  ANd they have that really nice finish - feels like holding a piece of polished wood, rather then plastic.

The minwax

M came over and was helping me dip, he had a lot of fun.... he liked the small, I didn't so I put on my respirator. Once dried, the minwax minis feel really nice.
