Regarding Mystery Boxes: I got one, but only because it was guaranteed to have a huge base, and it was a slim chance that it would duplicate anything I had. I wanted something cheap and new to paint. Heh, these days I can't imagine being in a position where I want to do some painting but the only thing holding me back is a lack of unpainted models... I haven't finished a model since May, and my backlog of bare and primed metal and plastic haunts my dreams... I am deeply envious of you!

It’s just that, after the first couple thousand points of Khador (no lie), it’s nice to switch it up and try something else out once in a while!

We'll find out!

I just managed to obliterate a nearly-finished Gorghadra's paint job.
It was turning out really well, too... Rats.

Good news. Monsterpocalypse is a ton of fun to play. Battle report pls. I think I can manage something vaguely accurate. So, starting out the Planet Eaters spawn four Belchers and spread out towards the power zones. I spawn four G-Tanks and a Repair Truck and move one to the nearest power zone and the others up the right side of the board to secure one building and set myself up for a second. Gorghadra activates and moves forward to punch a building. Defender X rams the nearest building and brings it crashing down on one of the poor Belchers. Next up, he spawns his Crawler and a new Belcher forward and moves toward the null zone. The Belchers decide to avenge their fallen brethren and take some shots at my tanks, destroying one of them. I spawn another G-Tank and move it back up, then the G-Tanks activate and shoot one of the belchers off of a power zone. Then disaster strikes, Gorghadra spends a bunch of dice moving up the board and slams Defender X into two buildings, dealing massive damage. Defender X then maneuvers around the nearby hazards and gets some payback, slamming Gorghadra into two hazards. He spawns another Belcher, moves his Crawler toward the null zone and takes some more shots, this time they take out the G-Tank on the power zone. I've still got a fair number of dice in the monster pool, so I activate Defender X again. He throws Gorghadra across the board, destroying a building and smashing a Belcher in the process. Gorghadra comes charging back across the board and throws Defender X into another building and destroying another tank. Defender X is badly damaged, so at Michael's suggestion I end up throwing Gorghadra into some stuff and step to position Defender X so that Gorghadra must move through hazards to reach him. My opponent realizes he can't deal enough damage to finish off Defender X this turn, so he decides to walk straight through the fire and go out in a blaze of glory. Gorghadra takes one final swing at Defender X and leaves him with one point remaining. At the insistence of the table, Defender X uses the single remaining action die from Power Cycle and a handful of power dice to pick up a Belcher and chuck it at Gorghadra, finishing the game.

Sounds like fun.

Yeah, pretty straightforward, but I can imagine it getting a lot more tactical once there's more than six things on the board. Also, there's definitely something to smashing the other monster into stuff for big damage and rolling loads of dice.

It was a day of the most cutthroat demo games I have ever seen. Sheesh! People are chomping at the bit to get their hands on this game!

Apparently the release is being delayed. Sad day. Indeed! Well, I will be running a second demo day this weekend, apparently, instead of a release party. On the bright side: we get a proper release party in a couple of weeks, and a beginner’s Crush Hour tournament on October 13! (The tournament event announcement should go up shortly... The resin building that is the 1st place prize is pretty great!)

The resin building that is the 1st place prize is pretty great! Are there photos somewhere? Speaking of photos, why not take some of the demos you run this weekend to post here?

Regarding event photos: I don’t like to leave photographic evidence. You know, in case they’re watching. (But seriously: I take terrible photos. They turn out very bad.)
