I had a first try with random Dungeon Generator for Heroquest. I borrowed some ideas from Dungeon Universalis, League of Dungeoneers and Warhammer Quest. My mixture worked surprisingly well and we're going to play in a group with two dads and two 9 year olds quite soon. Fully Co-op, no Zargon needed anymore!
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.
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!
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.
...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! :)
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.
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 :)
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
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.
Back to Blitz Bowl with a new team - this time it's good old Chaos. I obviously used the old HeroQuest Chaos Warriors and some beastmen I found on Thingiverse. Next team in the made are the Orcs!
Happy New Year to all of you!
