Sue painted a WizKids pre-primed Nolzur’s Marvelous Githzerai Monk for the new D&D skirmish game, Onslaught. “Onslaught comes with everything you need to start playing, including pre-painted miniatures, but on their website (https://www.dndonslaught.com/) they actually have a list of alternate miniatures you can use for each character. So I painted this guy up for my Zhentarim team. I used Black Templar Contrast Paint for the robes, and Black Legion Contrast Paint for his leather shin and arm guards. But the real star of this show was Iyanden Yellow Contrast Paint for the skin. I feel like this beautiful and versatile Contrast Paint was made for Gith skin. I did most of the spots on his skin before adding the Iyanden Yellow Contrast Paint.”

Greg and Tracy played Exit: Return to the Abandoned Cabin. “This is another one that is thematically following on from a previous Exit game, but is a standalone game so you don’t need to have played the previous Abandoned Cabin game to enjoy it. I really liked this one – it had some more neat physical puzzles, using the box to make the cabin, etc. I think we needed just one clue overall, and managed to puzzle everything else out. I thought the difficulty level was just about right though, so I definitely recommend this one.”

Renee and Jenn played a couple of games of Clank: Catacombs and had an absolute blast! “I’ve always loved the Clank series; its a fantastic game and I always have so much fun playing it. I have Clank In Space and all its expansions, but never owned the original – this version, in which the board is different each and every time, addressed my biggest concern about the original: that the board was always the same each time you played. Catacombs adds some new mechanics like lock picks and prisoners which are cool additions, but the puzzle of trying to figure out which artifact to get, as they are revealed and then the best route out when the board is constantly evolving is just awesome. Predictably both games played very differently as a result which is exactly what I was hoping for in this version.”
