Star Wars Campaign: T3, Sector 5

The Imperial mission was easy: Verifying the rebel presence in the system station and wipe them out.
The Rebels had 2 options: flee or try to destroy the Corellian Corvette.

Special rule: The Rebel squadron will scramble randomly from any of the space stations.

2 stations with Rebel activity have been reported

3 Tie Advanced squadrons were sent to investigate each station

3 squadrons are launched from Station Alpha and 1 from Station Beta. Tie Interceptors are launched to intercept

2 squadrons of B-Wings are properly wiped out.

 The Rebel suicide action was going bad. The Imperial fighters were capable pilots and destroyed the main bombers. The last chance for the Rebel to justify their loses were to get the corvette before any imperial reaction.

Unfortunately for the Rebels, both side activated and the imperial wiped out the last Rebels

The Imperial firmly hold the space

 Sector victory for the imperial. They advance on sector 5. There is little room available for the Rebels on that Sector.

Building Space stations (Modular Space Station Pack)

Remember, a while ago (here) I acquired Modular Space Station Pack.

In situation

Well, I finished them but never had a chance to take pictures of them. I am fixing that mistake now.

Space stations : Building station with Dropfleet Commander Modular Space Station

Space opera mood.

I have received my kickstarter and bought a  Dropfleet Commander Modular Space Station. They may be good addition to my Star Wars universe by bringing some extended architecture.

I spent about 3 hours last night playing with the kits, building,  Deep Space Manufacturing Facilities
Golan Battle Platforms, Space Colonies and Research Facilities.

And I know, I still need to finish writing the last Darker Omen episode.

Here are some stations under construction.

It is a good kit, with a lot of different variation possible. The stands are great and stable. I really think there are good value.
Below are the stations done in few hours, with enough material for at least 2 to 3 more stations.

Viridian inbound - Painting slowly yes, but painting.

No relationship with people from the 3rd Rai'ch

10 years ago.... I stumbled into an amazing sale from Ludikbazar. I was in Hong Kong at that time, but my mojo was coming back.
I was young and ambitious, I bought a gigantic quantity of miniature, some of them out of print since then.
Now, I have finally painted the models that brought me back from hobby abyss. The Metropolis/Urban War Viridians.
Hopefully that kickstart my gaming mojo again.

Viridian army supported by 2 mechs from Warpath Kickstarter. All good models

This is my inspiration for the army. A French comic call Aquablue. There was a planet assault by the Foreign Legion.

Greatcoat Viridians, version 2

Colonial marines, Viridian style. The leader in the middle, I can swear it's an old mutant chronicle model, from Prince August.

Viridian colonial marines and unknown guy

More colonial marines. I have few of them left, but they are not the best looking Viridians to be honest.

The more, the merrier. Don't worry, they are the last ones.

Special force viridian sergeant and Lt. Johnny G. Johnny has a thermos of coffee/brandy, so he can celebrate victory right away

Viridian spec force sergeant and Johnny G.

sorry girls, Johnny's bottom is protected by grenades.

Viridian Mortar.

Viridian mortar

Viridians have a nice box set of snipers. I thought they were too much. Even within the actual rules, they are deadly. I have one. He is more an urban sniper than a sniper who believes he is a tree.

The best looking Viridian I have, the spec forces.

Spec force viridians

They mean business. The middle model is originally from the mortar. However he fits better within the spec forces.

Tank buster team

Viridians are here to pacify. If there are bow-and-arrow giant blue smurf, even better.

"Now, bring me some navi for shooting training"

On the other side of the table, I painted some miniatures used for our "apero" game.
Here are some fighters we used a while ago for space fighter race.

11 fighters. It was supposed to be 12, but I can't find the 12th one.

I have always been a secret lover of battletech, and here is my way to feed my secret passion (2 boxes of late 80, early 90's plastic miniatures, for US$10 total)

And with the 2 tanks I bought previously to bet some armor for diversity.
