It kind of goes without saying that we like games.  So it is with very little surprise that when myself and Anime-X were hanging out at Avatar comics (linked on our main page) at 2 am, poor (or arguable good) decisions were made and money was spent.  The result was…

Dust LogoFor those of you who don’t know, let me give you the quick breakdown.  Preassembled, not prepainted (but it is primed), miniature based game set in alternate modern timeline.  The game however is a “TACTICS” game.  Much like Final Fantasy Tactics or perhaps Valkyria Chronicles.  Pics below show what comes in the box, or i’ve made the logo clickable to Fantasy Flights website about the game.

I’ll start with the basics.

Sengoku Basara is a series of games much like Dynasty Warriors.  You are a singular badass who fights the entire population of a country who’s sole existence in life is to get slaughtered by you.  Here is the opening for the latest game.

In addition Basara was made into a 2 season anime composing of 12 episodes.  This roughly follows the story of a few characters looking to take down a few other characters who are being a bunch of jerks.  Opening for the anime pretty much gives you the idea.

Going to keep this post short and get right to the good stuff.

I’m sure you have heard us make comments about how Anime LA was made awesome by meeting awesome people.  One of those people is Masa, who appropriately cosplayed the character Date Masamune from Basara.  In fact, it is somewhat Masa’s fault that we are now planning a new cosplay for the next convention we are attending.  You may have noticed the nifty new link on the right for Fanime…

Now that we have our army list, its time to get some miniatures.  Sadly neither minis nor money grows on trees so we are going to have to be a little cost effective here.  So what I’ve done is put together what i feel is the MOST cost effective way for me to build this army, while still getting everything i want.

Oh yeah, also there is one additional bit.

I hate Chaos Marines without helmets, or helmets with horns on their head.

Dark Helmet knows

Good is Dumb because they take off their helmets and get shot in the face!

So lets get this started.
