Purple is my colour of choice!

 

Some news from the Cult. Still purple, still mean, a little bit more old school! 

Battlefleet Gothic: Just another stupid idea

 What to do if you have countless unfinished projects in the painting queue? Start another project from zero! This time I have to do something about that space combat itch! I will surely not play the original BFG rules, bit I aim to have some fun with OPR Warfleets oder Void Admiral. Here is what I have painted so far. 

   

Pulp Alley Batrep - The abandoned Outpost

 

Really, I don't get it.

I have checked prices for 3D-Printers recently. You can get the formidable Mars 2 Pro for 130 Euros. That's the price for three Warhammer 40k Codices. It is easy to use. Since I changed scale, I don't paint models, I paint armies. Why on earth do people stick with GW and 28mm scale??

Well, I'm not THAT arrogant. You do whatever you like, of course. But I solemnly swear that I will never paint a "big guy" again. ;)

 

Food in white cans - hard to open, delicious to eat

It's only three of them, but I couldn't resist to shoot some Space Hulk photos with my Deathwing Terminators. I placed them on my Doom boardgame floortiles which will be replaced by some properly painted corridors one day. There is so many projects I still want to do, but I'm also happy with the stuff I allready finished. Happy gaming to all of you!

Gloomy Green Coffin Boy

Finished my first Dark Angels vehicle in 15mm. I'm very happy how the print of the Contemptor Dreadnought came out and I managed to paint him in 90 minutes. Always took me a little bit longer in 28mm scale. I will use him for Xenos Rampant. Maybe I will add a Rhino and a Predator as well, next are Assault Marines and Terminators. 

 

 

Play more, paint less - 6MM GDF Batrep

One of my plans for 2023 is to play more often. I just discovered the excellent One Page Rules Forge App, which allows to create Army Lists for my favorite system in no time. Painting 40k-sized armies in 6mm is just a matter of days, so you should see a lot more AARs in the near future. Game on! 

New computer, new data cards

I finally managed to make some new data cards with the Mac I bought... The new publisher tools I can use now are so much easier to use and speed up making gaming aids significantly. I can also do some quick miniature photos with my iPhone now, which are instantly available on the Mac afterwards - nice! 

Here are my first cards for Grim Dark Future - Firefight. I used the terms of OPR not the original Games Workshop names, just in case you wonder. 

My eyes may rot...

...but I do see you!

I have to start into 2023 with a big SORRY to some people that have been such great folks since I blog here. I have some really weird problems with my google account that prevent me from making comments on YOUR sites. I can still answer to your posts that you leave here, but I cannot write properly anywhere else. If I try to comment on your work, I have to re-enter my google-account (which works), but the text-box for commenting still doesn't work for me. I have also tried with another account, but that also failed. 

I will see if a new computer changes anything of that, but at the moment I'm just a silent watcher. This goes out to you, guys: Javier, Suber, Allison, Toby, Doc Merkury, Zrune, Mattblackgod, Brazo, Rodor, Mr. Martin and all the other great guys I may have forgotten. I do see you, but I cannot tell you so. Wish me luck, I will try to solve this. 

To start 2023, I chose my 15mm Nurgle Plague Marines, rotten to the core (of course) and 3D-printed as most of the stuff I do nowadays. 

 Happy 2023 everybody! :)

 

 

Xenos Rampant is out - and it likes 15mm scale!

This is not a batrep.
