Blood Bowl – Chaos Dwarf Pitch and Dugouts

I occasionally mention that in a previous life I once stood at a printing machine and produced print products. Accordingly, I know my way around the industry and have a certain fable for fine products from the print and packaging industry, such as this neat new Blood Bowl pitch for the recently released Chaos Dwarves.

The product currently costs €44 and comes in a slipcase with two dugouts and the pitch itself. The packaging is tailored to the size of the board and does not contain any foam padding around the edges, like the Old World Alliance/Underworld Denizens pitch (third picture).

Age of Sigmar Warcry – Ogor Mawtribes Tyrant

When you have subscribed to the Stormbringer magazine series, there are here and there optional bonus miniatures that you can pick up at a heavy discount. For example this Ogor Mawtribes Tyrant.

This came a bit as a surprise, for two reasons. For one you have to opt out if you don't want to receive this model, but as it was a third of the regular RRP, I could live with that and I wasn't aware that this was a plastic kit, as I thought this model was one of the finecast characters among the Ogor Mawtribe range.

October 2024 review

While it is spooky season, I enjoyed my first vacation since may, when we went to Scotland. We stayed in Germany and went for a prolonged weekend towards the south western part, Trier and the surrounding Eifel.

We went for a bit of sight seeing and lots of animals close up, at our stops at the Porta Nigra and the Wildlife Park Daun.

A visit to … X-Comics Trier

During our family holiday to Trier I visited a local gaming store in the inner city. It is a branch of the X-Comics stores, the former SpielBar.

As a local gaming store, it covers merch, comics, trading cards, board games and quite a few tabletop products, as you could see behind the second counter.

Adeptus Titanicus – Legio Astraman Ad Arma Pt. XIII

We're now in the post-Battle for Uulda part of this series and it is time to complete the Legio Astraman project. We're having for the main titan legio four (+maybe two further) models left;

As I'd like to cover the bases first, and I already built the Warmaster with a slightly raised leg, so he could stomp on something.

The idea was to recreate something that I did with one of the Warlord Titans (this one will be used with Legio Magna, so the similar pose doesn't bother me within Legio Astraman), and have him stand upon a lower terrain piece or upon a (super) heavy vehicle.

Blood Bowl – Chaos Dwarf Star Players

With the release of the Chaos Dwarf Blood Bowl Team of the Zharr-Naggrund Ziggurats, we get three resin kits as well covering Star Players and positionals. And a lot of love went into this update.

As of today, all of these are updates of the existing vintage positionals and players. And we would like to begin with H'thark the Unstoppable.

The Star Player comes in a massiv blister and costs 40 EUR. H'thark is the largest of all Bull Centaurs and is quite towering on his 40mm round base.

Blood Bowl – Chaos Dwarf The Zharr-Naggrund Ziggurats

On NOVA this year Games Workshop gave us the preview on an updated Chaos Dwarf Blood Bowl Team, the Zharr-Naggrund Ziggurats, and we were more than excited to see them again!

Chaos Dwarfs have been part of Blood Bowl since the 90s, and this team, the Ziggurats, was around back then, as part of the Death Zone supplement for Blood Bowls third edition, both released in 1994. The new Zharr-Naggrund Ziggurats arrived quickly, with the announcement in August and a full on release in October 2024. And this large batch of miniatures is something, that we want to take a closer look upon starting today with the regular team boxed set.

The eight shipment of of the german Stormbringer magazine by Hachette arrived on Thursday, October 17th, including the issues #38 to #43 and in our case the optional bonus miniatures of the Skaven Warlock Bombardier. This issue is a wild mix of Age of Sigmar factions. But more on that further below.

Adeptus Titanicus – Legio Astraman Ad Arma Pt. XII

Next and final step for the preparations for the Battle for Uulda, were the bases. I bought the name plates for the bases and command terminals from Versatile Terrain, and used their Print your own-service for the initial 7 bases.

I went for the recessed plates with their Gothic (Calson Antique) font, without any further decoration (but most likely will go for some skulls or the eye of horus for the traitors) and chose the following names;

Legions Imperialis – Mechanicum Triaros Squadron

Within the Mechanicum Battle Group for Legions Imperialis are not only infantry and walkers, but an armoured transport vehicle as well - the Triaros Armoured Conveyor as a squadron of four. We even recently covered the 32mm variant plastic kit from the Horus Heresy range on here as well.

Legions Imperialis - Mechanicum Triaros Squadron

Currently only available as part of the Mechanicum Battle Group the Triaros Squadron will be available as a set of its own shortly. As usual we get two identical sprues, the instructions are part of the combined booklet and at least as part of the Battle Group it does not come with decals. But this was the case with any of the vehicle kits from the Legiones Astartes or Solar Auxilia, and if you ask me the icon on the side doors of the Triaros shown above are decals as well, so we might see these in a later release.
