Mixed Signals

Straight-forward gaming

I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The fifth mission is called Overwhelming dread.

Another typical capture-the-objective mission, this one adds in an environmental effect as a complication. I'm not convinced the complication is as severe...

I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The fourth mission is called Outflanking.

Story

The Blood of the Omnissiah regiment has broken through the defenses of a combined Tyranid and Genestealer Cult. After making their way to a dig site...

I love the game Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games back in 2005. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, and I now own them all, so I'm reviewing them each. In this post, I'm looking at the characters of the Call of the Lich Lord set.

For background about the world of Call ...

I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The third mission is called Quantum siege.

This is an interesting mission, with 3 objectives (including one within the Defender's deployment zone.) Each objective is the control panel for a quantum shiel...

One of my favourite games is Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, but it's also a board game, with some of the cards in the deck serving as board tiles. I now own ALL Dungeoneer decks, and I'm reviewing them each. In this post, I'm lookin...

Well I bought the Raumjager Infantry kit from Wargames Atlantic. They're soldiers with ill-fitting trousers and jackets, stunted guns, and awkward poses. This is my review of the product.

There's no easy way to say this, but I dislike this model kit. I bought it because I needed a bunch of raide...

I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The second mission is called Dig site raid, and it's a testament tothe Pariah Nexus crusade book that I was excited for this mission by the second paragraph of the mission briefing. The reason is simple....

I first started my Tyranid army tenuously, with 10 Termagants here, a Winged Tyranid Prime there. I just wanted enough to proxy the Tyranid Combat Patrol as released in White Dwarf 497. However, as I painted my models I was surprised to discover that Tyranids were actually, puzzlingly, impossibly...

One of my favourite games is Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, but it's really a board game. Some cards are board tiles, and others are monsters, items, and power-ups. I own 5 Dungeoneer decks, and I'm reviewing them each. In this post...

One of my favourite games is Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games, partly because of its carefully crafted ruleset, and partly because of its mysterious lore. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, but it's really a board game, with some cards serving as board tiles. I own 5 Dun...

I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The missions don't have to be played in order, and in fact the book provides random tables for selecting a mission to play. I want to play through each one, though, so I'm just starting at the first in print...
