I always love adding further bling to my boardgames and since Dune: Imperium - Uprising is one of my absolute favorites, I jumped to make it further. First I printed a new first player token, which is a cool AF sandworm. Then I found a bunch of replacement tokens for the generic wooden token and printed those as well for the immersion. Currently I'm in the process of also printing out some fancy water "droplets" and then later on solari and spice ones.
After I printed the sandworm and the alliance tokens, I just couldn't leave it unpainted, so I decided it was time to dust-off my ancient wargame minis painting skills, so I invested in some new paints and went to work. I'm quite happy of the output for something I haven't done for at least 20 years now.
Looks spectacular! Did you get a chance to play with the bloodlines expansion yet? :o
Yes! Many times. It's so good. It covers a lot of the shortcomings of the base version, such as making solari impactful in more way and making spice useful on green spaces.
Ohhh I've kind of been on the fence about getting it since my group haven't quite gotten to the point where the base uprising game has started becoming stale for us.
I just really miss the techs from Ix!
