Star Wars Epic Duels Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor Custom Deck

2021-04-10T09:39:00.002-07:00

While posting all of my Star Wars Epic Duels customs decks last year, I got the itch to make a new one. So even though I thought I was done, here is a new one.

Rogue One is by far the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy. The story is great and the characters are too. I had a hard time deciding on who I wanted to to pair with Jyn Erso, but really there was no other option other then Cassian Andor. I would have loved to used K-2SO but 3 character decks don't really work, they are too weak as it is hard to get the cards you need and if you make the cards combo-cards it doesn't feel like they belong with the real decks.

For miniatures I used painted Old Republic Recruit for Jyn Erso and a modified Antarian Ranger for Cassian Andor Wars Miniatures line.

Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid - White Ninja Falconzord & White Tigerzord Warrior Mode

2020-07-31T18:24:00.001-07:00

Well today Renegade Games teased that they would be releasing official Thunderzords, so my customs will be obsolete by years end. So, in an effort to get more of my customs finished here are a few more zord additions for the Mighty Morphin White.

Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid - Thunderzords

2020-07-27T19:03:00.000-07:00

While during this time most people have found themselves with more time, I have found less. I have completed paint quite a few more of the miniatures for this game but I still need to take some pictures to share. I have completed the Base box and the Zeo expansions, and started working on the Kickstarter Exclusive box.

But I have also been working on my own customs for the game as well. MMPR is my generation of Rangers so it is all that I am really only concerned with, and I will look to round out what is missing. So I present the Thunderzords!

The art for the 5 Thunderzords is from Power Rangerars Legacy Wars (by James Pascual) and Red Dragon Warrior Mode, Thunder Megazord, and Mega Tigerzord art is from the Boom! Studio comics.

I haven't had a change to do a lot of testing on these so let me know what you think and hopefully they aren't over powered.

Unicorn Birthday Cake

2020-05-23T12:59:00.001-07:00

It's time for a another birthday cake! This time the birthday girl wanted a Unicorn cake and my wife found a few examples online for me to use as a reference when making.

Because of COVID-19 and the addition of daughter #2, we aren't having the big party we normally have; so this year's cake is much smaller. It is single tier 6" with three layers.

Star Wars Epic Duels Qui-Gon Jinn and Jar Jar Binks Custom Deck

2020-05-21T11:00:00.000-07:00

And the first shall be last. My custom deck for Qui-Gon Jinn, the last custom deck I have to share at this point in time. I borrowed a lot of ideas I borrowed from decks found on: http://epicduels.pbworks.com. This was my first custom i started but I could never deciede who to pair him with and I some times wish I had paired him with a young Obi-Wan Kenobi but went with adding Jar Jar Binks to the game against my better judgement, but I think it is a fun addition still.

The miniatures that I used are Qui-Gon Jinn and Gungan Infantry from the Star Wars Miniature line. The Jar Jar Binks mini is just too hard to come by and to expensive.

Star Wars Epic Duels Lando Calrissian and Bespin Guards Custom Deck

2020-05-20T11:00:00.000-07:00

We are getting close to the end of the line of my custom decks for Star Wars Epic Duels and this was a must add and one of my favorite characters, Lando! I borrowed ideas I borrowed from decks found on:
http://epicduels.pbworks.com. I decide that pairing Lando with his Bespin Guards made the most sense. Fun deck that shows of his gambling ways.

The miniatures that I used are Lando Calrissian and 2 Bespin Guards from the Star Wars Miniature line.

Star Wars Epic Duels R2-D2 and C-3PO Custom Deck

2020-05-19T11:00:00.000-07:00

This is another custom deck that I really like over on on: http://epicduels.pbworks.com. But it needed a art upgrade. It is a fun support style deck and fun to have R2-D2 and C-3PO running around on the board too. It adds a cool mechanic of oil spill markers from R2. I added I few to the bottom of the deck plate so you can mark them on the board. Bonus points if you recognize what game the oil markers are from.

The miniatures that I used are R2-D2 and C-3PO from the Disney Park Packs Collectible Star Wars miniature line.

Star Wars Epic Duels General Skywalker and Captain Rex Custom Deck

2020-05-18T12:00:00.000-07:00

A continuation along the lines of Jedi and clones in the clone wars but now it is Anakin's turn and I borrowed a lot of ideas I borrowed from decks found on: http://epicduels.pbworks.com. Again absolutely love the General Skywalker figure in the clone armor and had to make a custom deck for it too. And you can't have enough versions of him so here is another!

The miniatures that I used are Anakin Skywalker, Jedi and Captain Rex from the Star Wars Miniature line.

Star Wars Epic Duels General Kenobi and Commander Cody Custom Deck

2020-05-15T12:25:00.000-07:00

A continuation along the lines of Jedi and clones in the clone wars and I can't remember how much/many ideas I borrowed from decks found on: http://epicduels.pbworks.com but, I loved the General Kenobi figure in the clone armor and had to make a custom deck for it. Also, it provides another version of Obi-Wan-Kenobi to play with a single minor character.

The miniatures that I used are General Kenobi and Commander Cody from the Star Wars Miniature line.

Star Wars Epic Duels Aalya Secura and Commander Bly Custom Deck

2020-05-14T12:48:00.000-07:00

So, I can't remember how I changed if any for Aalya Secura's custom deck for Star Wars Epic Duels, but I had found one here: http://epicduels.pbworks.com that I really liked but the art for the cards wasn't great so I remade it and she is a fun addition to the game. I love the Clone Wars setting with the Jedi and Clones fighting together, and a nice change to have her with her clone commander rather then with 2 generic clone troopers.

The miniatures that I used are a modified Padame from Star Wars Epic Duels and Clone Trooper Commander from the Star Wars Miniature line.

Star Wars Epic Duels Kylo Ren and Snowtroopers Custom Deck

2020-05-13T12:12:00.000-07:00

Time to round out the Star Wars Epic Duels custom decks for the current trilogy. Again here Kylo Ren with Snowtroopers is based off his appearance in Episode VII. I really dislike how powerful he is in the movie and how emotional unstable he is. But I did my best to show that and tone down his power to fit within the game.

The miniatures that I used are Kylo Ren and 2 Snowtroopers from the Disney Park Packs Collectible Star Wars miniature line.

Star Wars Epic Duels Rey and Finn Custom Deck

2020-05-12T12:27:00.000-07:00

Okay, the rest of my custom decks for Star Wars Epic Duels draws on inspiration from various decks found here: http://epicduels.pbworks.com. I took ideas from these and combined them with my own to make my versions.

First up comes from the resent trilogy which I had no intention of making characters from it but I was wanting to add more female characters as I previously mentioned so that started with Captain Phasma and will now include Rey and Finn based on Episode VII. I hate how powerful she is and the fact that her and Finn are able to beat Kylo Ren, but I did my best to make them playable and not over powered compared to the other characters in the game.

The miniatures that I used are a modified Human Force Adept from the Star Wars Miniature line and Finn from the Disney Park Packs Collectible Star Wars miniature line.

Star Wars Epic Duels Galen Marek and Proxy Custom Deck

2020-05-11T12:03:00.000-07:00

Next up is a continuation of the last Star Wars Epic Duels custom deck with Starkiller. It draws from the game Star Wars the Force Unleashed II when he becomes good and fights against the Empire. I really liked the idea of his training droid Proxy being able to fight like past Jedi/Sith and makes for a fun power card where he can mimic previously played cards. Again, I have never played this game either so if it doesn't really follow the story or how the character is, you can blame Wikipedia.

The miniatures are Vader's Apprentice, Redeemed and Proxy from the Star Wars miniature line. Which at the time where very hard to find but I am glad I did as this is one of my favorite decks to play.

Star Wars Epic Duels Darth Vader and Starkiller Custom Deck

2020-05-08T12:07:00.000-07:00

This is another of my early custom decks for Star Wars Epic Duels and it is not a refined but I wanted a Darth Vader that had a little more power then the original and I though it would be cool to make his minor character a Sith apprentice from the game Star Wars the Force Unleashed. So I did some research on Starkiller and came up with the deck. I have actually never played the game so if it doesn't really follow the story or how the character is, you can blame Wikipedia.

The miniatures are Darth Vader from Star Wars Epic Duels and customized Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars Epic Duels.

Star Wars Epic Duels General Grievous and Mangaguards Custom Deck

2020-05-07T12:39:00.000-07:00

General Grievous was one of the bad guys that I couldn't believe didn't make it into Star Wars Epic Duels. As such he too was one of my first customs and has been part of my collection from very early on. He is a lot like Count Dooku but is all melee with the magnaguards.

For miniatures I used the cheapest General Grievous and Mangaguards from the Star Wars Miniature line that I could find.

Star Wars Epic Duels Commander Cody and Clone Troopers Custom Deck

2020-05-06T10:45:00.000-07:00

So, I guess that I am going to share all of my Star Wars Epic Duels custom decks or at least that is the plan. This was my third custom deck to design and it took the longest to get it right. This deck is meant to be from Episode III when the Emperor gives order 66 and the clones all turn on the Jedi.

Commander Cody has an "ace" card in his deck similar to Darth Vader, his is Order 66 card which can kill any character if unblocked and allows Commander Cody to take control of all other Clone Troopers currently in the game (which is why he has extra damage charts for all of the Clone Troopers in the game #1-8). He also utilizes the clones he controls to do more damage using his Surround card. Targeting his clones is key to weakening his ability to do damage.

The miniatures are Commander Cody from the Star Wars Miniatures line and 2 extra sets of clone troopers from Star Wars Epic Duels...yes he needs a total of 4 clone troopers, he starts the game with Clone Troopers 9 and 10. He can gain Clone Troopers 11 and 12 by playing the Reinforcement card.

Star Wars Epic Duels Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus Custom Deck

2020-05-04T13:27:00.000-07:00

It's May the 4th and this is too good of a time not to post another one of my Star Wars Epicl Duels customs decks. So I give you 2 of my new favorite characters from Rogue One: Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus. "I am one with the Force and the Force is with me."

For miniatures I customized an Epic Duels Darth Maul for Chirrut Îmwe and then an amalgam of Clone Trooper, 181st Imperial Pilot and Sith Lord from the Star Wars Miniatures line for Baze Malbus.

May the Force be with you.

Star Wars Epic Duels Din Djarin and IG-88 Custom Deck

2020-04-24T12:36:00.000-07:00

Time for everyone's new favorite bounty hunter Din Djarin aka The Mandalorian to join the ranks in Epic Duels. This custom deck is based on the first season of the show and I decided to go with IG-88 as his minor character over the many other options because I like having something/one that is willing to self detonate if needed in battle.

Still working on miniatures to use but most likely will be a customized Boba Fett, but maybe 3D printed depending on what will be the cheapest/most durable.

Star Wars Epic Duels Captain Phasma and Flametroopers Custom Deck

2020-04-23T12:24:00.000-07:00

Next up for custom Epic Duels decks is another female baddie: Captain Phasma. Who doesn't like a chrome plated stormtrooper (first order trooper I know)?

For miniatures I use a Captain Phasma and 2 First Order Flametroopers from the Disney Park Packs Collectible Star Wars miniature line.

Star Wars Epic Duels Asajj Ventress and Super Battle Droids Custom Deck

2020-04-22T12:16:00.000-07:00

Time to revisit one of my all time favorite games, Epic Duels, and share a few more of my custom decks. Since my wife is who I play the most games with she is always wanting more female characters and Epic Duels is lacking in that department. Fortunately, more and more things such as Star Wars are adding meaningful female characters. And what better to start with then a female sith: Asajj Ventress.

This deck is similar in style to Darth Maul but has the added benefit of Super Battle Droids over the regular Battle Droids.

For miniatures I use a Asajj Ventress and 2 Super Battle Droids from the Star Wars miniature line.

Thanos Rising Customs

2020-04-15T08:56:00.000-07:00

Recently my wife found Thanos Rising on clearance and picked it up. Our game group has enjoyed playing cooperative games lately, they are a nice change of pace from the standard everyone trying to kill each other mentality. We quickly came to love this game as it lets us play out the great battle against Thanos in the MCU.

I was fortunate enough for OP games to send me a copy of the 2018 promo cards but I was unable to get the 2019 promos. I also found many custom cards for the game over on boardgamegeek.com. Which lead me to making my own versions of some of the missing heroes and the 2019 promos to print and add to my game.

Here they are, I hope you enjoy them:

I would like to give credit to Spawner1AndOnly for sharing his templates with me and for the inspiration drawn from his customs and from MarkFresch's customs as well.

King of Tokyo: Stay Puft Monster and Evolution Cards

2020-04-09T08:05:00.000-07:00

As mentioned in my previous post here is my custom monster Stay Puft and it's evolution cards made using the templates from sixbynineis42 and using some ideas from Danny Mack's version (found here) over on boardgamegeek.com.

Monster Card (using art from coreylandis@deviantart.com):

King of Tokyo: Alpha Zombie Evolution Cards

2020-04-08T07:56:00.000-07:00

King of Tokyo has become a family favorite and game group favorite. It is easy to learn and doesn't require a lot to play, making for a fast and fun game. The evolution expansions make it fun by giving each monster its own powers and more variety to the game.

There have been many promos made by IELLO games, but none of them have evolution cards, limiting their use to myself and our gaming groups.

Many people have made their own evolution cards for some of these promos which you can find over on boardgamegeek.com. sixbynineis42's customs of Kookie, Iron Rook, and Brockenbar are great! And they look like real cards. He was willing to share his templates with me so I could make my own.

I have made my own set of evolution cards for the promo character Alpha Zombie (which I drew inspiration from Branden Sprenger's found here). And I made my own Monster and evolution cards for the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man too (I use ideas from Danny Mack's version found here).

So here are the evolution cards for Alpha Zombie:

Individual cards (note the you will need 2 copies of Brain Eater):

Next post with have the everything you need to add Stay Puft to King of Tokyo, stay tuned.

Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid Villains

2020-04-05T12:52:00.001-07:00

This last year I was able to get a copy of Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid. It is a fun cooperative game and that gives a lot of nostalgia to fans of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. They are great looking figures but I would have preferred them to be in the 28mm to 32mm scale as I would be able to complete them faster and use the figures with other games such as Heroscape.

I have complete painting all the baddies from the base game and they are pictured below, enjoy:

I have stared and I am about half way done with the Rangers, then I will move on to the Kickstarter Exclusive Goldar Box followed by the Zeo Ranger Expansion. Until next time "May the power protect you".

BANG! Most Wanted

2019-07-23T07:11:00.002-07:00

Most Wanted is an unofficial mini expansion to BANG! the card game and, designed by Quincy Thompson (me). Most Wanted is a mini expansion that builds off the official Gold Rush expansion and supplement to my Osseointegrated expansion, adding 4 new characters and 3 more equipment cards to BANG!. Many of the other cards are inspired by and use the artwork from the custom cards made in the various unofficial expansions created on The BANG! Blog. The cards included consist of characters and equipment cards that didn't make the final cut into Osseointegrated, but should have. These cards were simply too good to not create and share, so I am making them available now.
