New Team - More Rumbleslam

 After last weekend's games, and with a mostly clear painting table, I painted up the third Rumbleslam team I've been camping on for a couple months. The team is the Deadly Divas. Without having used them in a game, I can tell by their stats and abilities they will have a much different play style than the barbarians and beastmen I've been using in our previous games. Variety is always important with a game like this. 

Left to right, that's the Brawler, Grappler, Orgress, High Flyer and Entertainer. The Entertainer isn't much for fighting but does help the team earn crowd support and is more of a support unit so to speak. Should be interesting!

Rasslin' - Some Rumbleslam

 Wayne and I got together to a couple games of Rumbleslam last weekend. No AARs to speak of, just a few pictures.

Game 1 was a pretty standard affair with both of us using basic crews right out of the box. I won that match pretty cleanly if you don't count the moment my Minotaur hoisted the Werewolf up with his horns and dumped him outside the ropes! Right place, right time for The Bull! That Werewolf is one tough cookie.

Game 2 was much more closely fought, and without a freebie to get rid of the FLAIR-Wolf (see what I did there?), I was stuck having to fight it. Things didn't go that well, but I lasted until turn 5.

But I won the initiative in the final turn and my Barbarian Grappler put a figure-four on ol' Wolfie, slowing him down for the remainder of the turn. After the leg-lock, the Grappler ran so he'd at least survive the bout. But then Wayne who didn't realize the game was over DID remember he'd drawn a terrible special event card at the start of the game causing his Werewolf to be fired from the team at the end of the match. This resulted him that wrestler being removed from the ring before counting up Knock-Outs. I had won, by accident since I'd forgotten about the "You're Fired!" card, but any win's a good one. Sometimes, you just get lucky.

Two very entertaining games that we both enjoyed quite a bit. I've got another team in the painting queue so the next time we play there will probably be some fresh blood on the mat.

Weekend Painting - 'Rasslin

 Without going into the backstory deeply, I picked up some Rumbleslam fantasy wrestling miniatures last week and enjoyed painting them up over the weekend. The minis were a bit of a bear to assemble, being made of a plasticey resin that wasn't very excited about working with superglue. Patience, generous quantities of Isopropyl  Alcohol and Gorilla Glue finally did the trick. I also gave them models a bit of a bath in alcohol before priming so the primer would stick. Final results - three thumbs up!

The first group - Barbarians, Goatmen and a Minotaur. Speaking directly to my old GW heart. I was an old-school Chaos fan and the guys exemplify the aesthetic. 

And the other group is of course a pack of Halloween graveyard dwellers. The "Flair-Wolf" (see what I did there?) was a big ol' pain in the ass being a big model in a one-foot leaping pose. I drilled and pinned his foot to the base.

Off to see the Dungeons and Dragon movie this evening! Hooray for $6 Tuesdays at the local theater.
