Unboxing: Talisman, The Blood Moon Expansion.

Talisman, The Blood Moon Expansion.

 Hey guys, heres yet another Talisman Expansion unboxing for you. This one is called "The Blood Moon"
As always with Fantasy Flight Games, this box has amazing artwork. Take a look for yourselves.

In the box we have the usual nice amount of contents. We can see what you get in the Talisman The Blood Moon here:

As you can see theres a lot in there again! Theres the obvious instruction sheet, extra cards, alternative ending cards, character cards and models, and the FFG catalogue. ( i have hundred of these things now!)
Lets start by looking at the extra cards you get in the set.

In this set we have 4 sets of extra cards, Theres the extra adventure cards which are always good to add more variation to the main game, Theres extra spell cards, as with the adventure cards these add a lot more variation to the game. Some lycanthrope cards, these signify whether or not your character has been turned into a "lycanthrope" and a single Night and day card. This card is interesting as depending on whether or not its night or day, affects various things such as enemy strength etc.
Next up, the alternative ending cards.

 The three alternative endings in this box are: The blood moon werewolf, The horrible void (This ones nasty, as if you think you have won the game, you are actually instakilled!) and Lightbearers. These can add a different twist on the game, but i still prefer to play with the "dragon king card" from the dragon expansion.

Now its on to the meat of the expansion, The extra characters!

First up we have the Werewolf himself. This guy is another NPC in that hes activated much like the reaper from the reaper expansion. If he lands on you then you suffer the effects of him down to a dice roll... The model for this is nice and i notice its multipart and preassembled with a kind of glue! i wonder what it is!

Next up is the Graverobber. this guys very interesting due to his special ability to "rob" cards out of the discard pile. As per usual the art and sculpt are both very good.

Here we see the Vampire hunter. This lady appears very victorian, ive not had a chance to look at her card yet but again, good art and sculpting.

Heres the last character from the set, and in my opinion, the most uninspiring, the Doomsayer. I just dont really like the artwork or the concept of this guy, he reminds me of a mad max 3 character reject!

Anyway, thats it for the Talisman The Blood Moon unboxing. i hope its helpful to you!

Do you own Talisman yet? What do you think of it?

Unboxing: Talisman, The Sacred Pool Expansion.

Talisman, The Sacred Pool Unboxing.

Hi guys, heres the first "proper" post of february 2013. Its time for another Talisman Unboxing.This time its the Expansion known as "The Sacred Pool", and not the Scared pool as some people mistakenly put it down as!

Talisman, The Sacred Pool.

Anyway, heres a couple of shots of the as ever, gorgeous box art. I always like the feel of quality in FFG boxes, and this one is no different.

Talisman, The Sacred Pool.

So after opening the box, we can see all the contents,

Contents of Talisman, The Sacred Pool

In this set we have the usual extra rules leaflet, 5 packs of extra cards, 3 alternative endings, 4 new characters and of course, a FFG catalogue!

New Card Deck Expansions.

 First up the cards, we get a few more adventure cards (I have hundreds of these now) The more adventure cards you have the more varied a game you will have so these are always welcome. More spell cards, as wiuth the adventure cards, these add more variation to the main game. Some alignment cards now including neutral alignment. (This expansion deals with alignments within the game and gives extra cards and events to go with it) A deck of stable cards, these comprise of your Warhorses, muels and Riding horses Etc. And some quest reward cards. these are optional instead of recieving Talismans from the warlocks quests. As per usual the quality of the artwork on these cards is OUTSTANDING.


Next up the new alternative ending cards,

New alternative Endings.

In this set we get the following new endings, Judgement day, The Demon Lord, and the titular, Sacred pool.
In the game you can pick one to play with, or just do random select, which makes things rather interesting indeed!

Next up the new characters.

The Cleric

First up is the Cleric, They have gone with a female cleric which is interesting as they are normally men IIRC in this type of setting. The artwork and character sculpt are both very good.

The Magus

Next up is the Magus, Wow, this guys is VERY interesting. a real change from most of the characters and he is sitting in a chair! He reminds me a bit of Xerxes from 300!

The Chivalric Knight

 Here we see the Chivalric knight, one of a few mounted characters in the game. Most people are quite pleased when they draw a mounted character. A free horse!

The Dread Knight.

Lastly we have the Dread Knight, Hes a lot like the Chivalric Knight, but this guy is the EVIL version.

Some people playing Talisman.

Thats it for the Sacred pool, Theres a new Expansion out in the last week or so, i might have to aquire that also so keep an eye out for it on here!

 Have you played Talisman? Whats your Favorite Expansion?

Forge World Air Defence Unboxing And First Look.

Forge World Air Defence Platform Unboxing and first look.

So i had a nice surprise waiting for me on my porch today when i returned from work, a parcel which has that obvious "Forge World" look about it! Lets see whats inside!

package

jack in the box?

Opening the box brings us the usual stuff and is that a new catalogue i spy for 2013?

Gumpf

 Haha, no its not a new catalogue, its just the rear of last years. (when will we see a new catalogue?) As you can see, in the box we get, a catalogue, the instruction sheet, and 2 bags of resin crack.

radar dish parts

 In the first bag theres the parts for the radar dish section itself, which comprises of the main section with a few screens, buttons and knobs on, the dish itself in a couple of parts, and the scanner.

stand/platform parts

The second bag contains the parts needed to make the platform section of the kit. I did not realise the legs would be 2 pieces, i thought that would be the stand and legs only but you get little hinges to go in between. awesome.


In this whole kit i dont think theres a signle major flaw so i wont be calling them to complain this time!

I shall update this in a couple of days when i start to assemble the kit!
