Game Demo Report: Buff This 2141

 

While I was at Lead and Steel, I had a demo game of "Buff This 2141". I hadn't quite gotten around to writing up the game yet, and I just realised that their Kickstarter is currently live and I should probably mention it!

The way the game works is that you have one miniature with a stat sheet, and they run around trying to grab buffs that you can apply to your different stats.

We had a three person demo game, and I was playing this cool gunslinger type.

I climbed onto a roof to grab a buff token.

... and then I discovered that you can be spartan kicked off a roof. Oops. This was the beginning of the end, and I was out when Annie from Bad Squiddo gunned my character down to finish me off.

The miniatures are available in the Kickstarter as well, and I really like the sculpts. Take a nose, as it's a fun quick game that I really enjoyed.

A little bit of hobbying

 

I've started making a little time for the miniature hobby again, and am back on sorting out the Halfling Blood Bowl team. They're the big project at the moment and I am very ready for them to be assembled! I suspect I may set them aside for a little bit once they're ready to paint as I'll want to look at something else!

I'm now up to eight Halflings done, with four left to go. There's also the Treemen and other bits and bobs, but once the core team is assembled it'll really feel like things are moving along.

I got this plinth by Fenris Games undercoated. I went black first, and it ended up really quite tacky - I suspect the weather wasn't quite undercoating weather. Once things dried out a bit, I gave it a spray of Mechanicus Grey and that seems to have gotten it back to normal. So this is now ready to paint.

While I was undercoating, I also undercoated a 3D printed dragon skull plant pot that my wife picked up at a craft fair. That's now done and in a box ready for her to paint.

Finally, I based up a few bits ready for undercoating. Miniatures here from Mammoth Miniatures, Krakon Games and Bad Squiddo. I used Krautcover for these ones as that's what I could find lying around. It's quite powdery so I want to put a light coating of glue over the top and let that dry before I undercoat them.
