ZOMTOBER week two submission

I think you're going to like this.
 I really hope you do...

For our week two submission for Zombtober, I did a little something different.  Oh, don't worry, there's a model involved, and it's from the wickedly incredible Arcworld line... but I decided to spice things up a little, so you're getting more than just a model.

Spinespur Kickstarter Models Review Pt2: The Dark Faith

   TokenGamerChic once called me “The Queen of things that go bump in the night.” So, when our little group fell in love with Spinespur, it was no surprise to anyone that I ended up fielding the Dark Faith. There are corpses being animated, blown up, and infected with plagues that affect anything that gets near them. My kind of people. And, in classic Spinespur fashion, the models for this faction show their necromantic creepiness in beautiful, and sometimes offbeat, ways.

Spine City? Sinspur? Who cares, it's a Spinespur Batrep!

Having just received a bunch of terrain from Mr. Walter Anstiss in the post (gods I love the smell of mdf in the morning!) Ali and I decided that before we started painting them, to set up a game with all unpainted sepia looking terrain, and completely painted models.  It'd give the game a "Sin City" kind of look.  So, artistic license in hand, we settled down for a 200 point game of Spinespur, the Dark Faith versus the Institution...

Spinespur Kickstarter Models Review Pt I

     So, as anyone trying to read our blog will notice, hobby time has been on short supply recently.  I had really wanted to get these up and done before Cold War, but just ran out of time sadly.  So, about six weeks behind schedule, I wanted to show you guys some sexy lumps of metal I've been working on, delivered hot from the Spinespur kickstarter and now up for grabs on the Comfy Chair Website. 

Zombie of the Month: Zombie Vixens

Zombie of the Month

   Wouldn't it be great if there were a Zombie of the Month Club? Wouldn't it be awesome if, once a month, you opened your mailbox and saw a little package, and you opened it and found a shiny new zombie miniature? Every month, a different zombie, from a different manufacturer. What a fun way to add to a horde.

   I wish I could offer you that. Alas, even I don’t have that kind of stock. What I CAN do is SHOW you a different zombie every month. There are so many wonderful zombie minis out there, and they each deserve the spotlight for just a moment before they disappear into the endless masses of writhing undead.

   And so, in the putrefied spirit of the never-ending Zombie apocalypse season, I bring you:

The Zombie of the Month – January 2014 – Zombie Vixens by Wargames Factory

Kickwatcher: Gah! Zombies!

Right now there are a slew of games that have zombies, or some facsimile there of, in them.  So it may not seem like a huge surprise that there is a Kickstarter out there that is aiming to give us some unique zombie models.  3DForge miniatures has a kickstarter brewing that I think everyone should look at.

Street Chum: First game, first look.

     So, as B97 mentioned last week, Spinespur holds a very fond place in LXG's heart.  It was our first Kickstarter, first time I'd really gotten to personally sit down with a game designed/owner/creator in a long time (it's frustrating working with a bunch of Nottingham folks while living in Philadelphia sometimes!), tied for first "small box" game that our group all had models for painted and ready to play, and really the only game we're playing in its genre (because, well, anytime we look at anything else skirmish and horror based, we always go "hey, we could just play Spinespur instead.") With Street Chum being released to backers, Mordin and I settled in to play a down and dirty game of Spinespur: Street Chum Edition, with the hopes of shaping it into a regular campaign feature.

Pleased to meat you: A Spinespur Slaughterhouse Agenda review

Filthy, dirty, slovenly beasts. Oh, and then there's the pigs. The Slaughterhouse Agenda represents the "rural society" of horror tropes- the areas where civilization's shining light never quite made it, and if it id, all it accomplished was casting a deeper shadow.

It's a Madhouse: A Spinespur Institution Agenda Review

     The Institution is, to me, one of the most fundamental aspects of Spinespur, and a quintessential collection of horror genre tropes. Let's take a good hard look at the strengths and weaknesses of this Agenda.

Mother's Day Massacre!

     In the city of Spinespur, holidays are a great excuse to murderface your friends. Mordin56, TokenGamerChic, Belgarath97, and I your friendly neighborhood Second Class Elitist, sat down for an evening of good old fashion violence, LXG Holiday Style. Time to massacre some Muthas!

The Institution vs... Three Martin Greyguns???

In yet another example of why Spinespur is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite games of all time, I squared off against Mordin56 for a little scrum in the slums of the city.

A Fan of the Game

     I thought I might just drop this here for your viewing pleasure.  I stumbled across some tape of the latre great Peter Cushing, doing something we're all very familiar with, probably before half of our readers were born!

Spinespur Contest Update #6- Finished Models, and a Winner!

 We have a collection of finished models, and we know who their new owner is!  The Spinespur Kickstarter Painted Gang Contest is... OVER!

Spinespur Contest Update #5- Deadline & Paintjobs!

     Well, the Kickstarter has entered the "post payment" stage now, so it's about time I get these guys polished up! Also, we set a deadline for getting your name on the list.  

Spinespur Contest Update #4- Thug Life!

     Just wanted to give you guys an update on where the Spinespur Contest thugs are at the moment.  They're coming along nicely, although obviously a bit more input wouldn't hurt.  Remember guys that the Kickstarter ends in two days, so get in there, pledge, and try to win these babies!

Spinespur: A Game Overview

     So, now that I've gotten in enough games of Spinespur, I feel more confident writing a general overview of the game.  This will help give new players (or gamers considering picking up the game) a bit of insight into how it plays.

Spinespur Contest Update #3

    Hello everybody, 2CE here, just wanted to give you a little bit of a head's up on the Spinespur Contest models.  Got a pretty good amount of work done on the "big three" tonight, so I figured I'd show you all what you might be winning!

Night of the Living Spinespur Batrep!

     TokenGamerChic and I were in a state of wanting some more Spinespur action, trying to utilize one of the scenarios in the Spinespur: Threshold rulebook.  When we happened to read over the "Be Afraid" scenario, we knew exactly who we had to get involved in the game...

The Roll of Fear

     In Spinespur, fear is a tangeable property that can have game-changing effects. Unlike many other games in which your models when affected by fear turn and flee or leave the battlefield entirely.  In Spinespur, Fear becomes a commodity in battle use can use against your opponents.
