The Lion Returns! After Roboute Guilliman, the next of the loyal sons of the Emperor returns to the 41st millennium.

The box is available for pre-order since today, April 15th, at a RRP of 85 EUR and will be delivered a week after.
Terrain Basics – A Desert Table
As mentioned in the recap, I got my hands on some Gale Force 9 - Battlefield in a Box badlands scenery. I saw them at Frontline Games on Tactica, but I ordered them after the show, so I would have less to carry.
The Battlefield in a Box items come prepainted and are quite sturdy, so a perfect base to build a table around / upon. They are produced by Gale Force 9 (who got bought by Battlefront - the company behind Flames of War - a while back) and a distributed from New Zealand, but availability has improved a lot.
March 2023 review
Thanks for taking a joke like a champ! Had fun with this years April fools, our own Chaosbunker Hobby Paints!
Chaosbunker – Hobbypaints
APRILFOOLS
A full 48 colours covering paint range (that will be further expanded to cover the whole Pantone Formula Guide). Because if everybody offers relabelled paint pots, why shouldn't we? And the best part - it is not even crowdfunded. Yet, every batch is hand mixed by the painting baristas, so each and every pot is unique and may vary a bit from the last one.
Adeptus Titanicus – Legio Astraman Ad Arma Pt. VIII
Among the aftermath of the Battle for Uulda I decided to stock up on some further items for Adeptus Titanicus, primarely the two Legio books for the Loyalists and Traitors.
And as these are english publications, they are excluded from the fixed book prices of German publications, so I could save some bucks from ordering these online. As I have quite the extended collection of wargaming books, I think it is a very lazy design to not keep an eye on the backs of the books. The logo is wandering, the titles are as well. With a series that aims for collectors and more mature gamers (along with covering quite a few books) it is a major bummer they didn't pay attention to this. Honestly, with the pricing and all, I expect better.

The Painting Phase is a hobby podcast/vlog that was joined last year by Chris "Peachy" Peach, when he left Games Workshop.
HarrowHyrst – Forest Wyrm
In addition to the Treeman and Griffin, I just had to have the Forest Wyrm when Trish announced it. He has a name, Quercus, and is called either Forest Dragon or Wyrm. Yet, per definition of "dragonoids", he would count as a Drake (four legs, no wings), not a Dragon (four legs and two wings) or a Wyrm (giant serpent, no legs, no wings).
Quercus is a multipart resin kit with a 100 x 50 mm laser cut mdf base. Very clean cast, various casting aids from little stubs to rods, but no air bubbles and minor flash.
Quercus consists out of four parts, Head, front legs, body with right leg and tail with left leg. The casting aids are well placed, so that you can remove them without causing damage to the model or sculpted areas.
The Barons War – Outremer arrived
I backed the first Barons War Kickstarter back in 2019, and last year I went for the big pledge in the Outremer campaign, their 4th Barons War crowdfunding.
There were two motivations for me to do that, the first was this would grant me a second force for my Crusade themed project and I'd finale have the chance to have a personal sculpt done, and in this case even by Paul Hicks himself.
And the miniatures arrived in two batches. The first covering my unique sculpt and some bonus content (shown further below) and the second one was my main pledge, covering the Antagonist set of miniatures and a few additional codes, that I went for.
Warhammer 40.000 – Dark Angels Deathwing Terminators / Knights / Command Squad
The Wrath of the Soul Forge King Box features a Dark Angel miniaturers set, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and which I actually had on the table in 2013 (!). For this reason, I'm giving the review an HD update, have adapted the pictures to the new format and adjusted the text in the appropriate places. Apart from that, it's "Throwback" today with the Deathwing Terminators, which can also be built as knights or a commando squad.
The multi unit box set, from which one of the above mentioned three units can be built, contains parts for 5 terminators as well as a companion and costs 50 Euros (the set has thus only become 5 EUR / 10% more expensive since the release). Besides a multi-page building instruction, 3 medium sized sprues, 5x 40mm round bases and one 25mm round base are included. Also included is the generic Space Marine decal sheet (for which there is actually no use, as the miniatures have no free areas on their shoulder armour or banners to attach them).
