This collection of Star Wars models were part of the Battle of Hoth game played out at the UK gaming covention Salute 2015.

I think they might be right; with titles like Pikachu’s Morning Spark, Drowzee’s Sleep-Inducer (decaf, right) Gengar’s Jump Scare and Hoothoot’s Night Owl to pick from, who could say no? If you’re […]
