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.

It's Necrovember, but here it feels like summer!

It is really warm for this time of year and I spent lots of time outside with the kids. But some quick paintjobs per evening for little more than a week gave me a respectable 15mm Necron force. I used the superb Cronz-files from Ankylo Miniatures that came out of my printer in perfect shape. I added a downscaled Skorpekh Lord and now I'm ready to harvest! Can't wait to try them out with Grim Dark Future or Xenos Ramapant, once it is available.

Orktober is here - Evil is back!

A big hello to all who remember me. I took some time off, much longer than I thought I would. On February 24th I stopped painting wargaming minis. When I saw real tanks invading european countries, I couldn't motivate myself playing with tiny ones... So I followed the news for an unhealthy week and decided to start/continue other projects like my metal vest that I'm wearing when visiting concerts. I read books, started to do some research on my family's history and after months I accepted that this war is still there and will continue to do so. 

In September I started a new Necron army in 15mm that I will show you in Necrovember, today I'm restarting this blog with some Orky stuff. I have painted over 60 miniatures in the last six weeks, so you will definetly see some stuff here, if you are still watching. Of course I will have to check out your progress as well and look forward to see some awesome stuff! 

Love and Peace and Waaaagh to all of you, 

 Skully :)

 

 

15mm Blitz Bowl - Orcs!

Another Blitz Bowl team done. These are metal miniatures made by ZombieSmith. Not the most detailed sculpts, but they were fun to paint. What do I do next... Skaven? Lizardmen? Goblins? Oh my... 

8mm Undead - Fantastic Battles, here I come!

I have rebased my tiny Undead and added some proper terrain, everything 3D-printed. I will add some characters and another unit of skeletons and then I'm ready for my first games of Dragon Rampant, Mayhem and/or Fantastic Battles. I quite like that the force looks like a big warband and not like a mass army - gives me the proper Warhammer Fantasy feeling! The opposing army is also nearly done, can't wait to play! :D

Epic Armageddon: Eldar

We live in the golden age of miniature gaming. Great rulesets and endless possibilities and choices where to get your miniatures from. I finally have a limitless source for all kinds of Eldar Infantry. Here are some guardians with a weapon platform and a Farseer on a jetbike that I printed some time ago. The rest ist GW, Vanguard Miniatures or forumware models. I think, given the different sources, it all fits together rather nicely.
