Painting get together
A good friend of mine got himself a great deal on Mantics Mars Attacks at a local gaming store. He's a board gamer and found himself now in possession of miniatures, and asked me if i could help him getting started. So what's better than have a painting get together?
Said and done, spread out a piece of cloth and open up some drinks. Ready to go.
Rubicon PzKpfw III Ausf. J/M/N
Rubicon is a new manufacturer from Hong Kong with 1:56 scaleplastic kits. And that is reason enough for a small tank week, that will cover reviews of several tanks, beginning with the Panzerkampfwagen III Ausführung J / M / N.
The kit is delivered in a transparent bag, covers three sprues, an instruction and a decal sheet. It is the Panzer III, of which as a medium battle tank around 5.700 units were built between 1936 and 1943. The chassis was built until the end of the war, as a base for tanks like the StuG III, that was manufactured more than twice the amount than the Panzer itself.
Pulled Turkey for Christmas Eve
This is a bit offtopic, but most of our fellow wargamers enjoy a proper meal - and so do i. Maybe you saw my thanksgiving burgers, and i liked the meat, so i cooked it again for christmas this time.
As this was a meal for the whole family (and calculating the leftover for the following days), i started with 2 Kg or roughly 4,5 lbs of turkey breast. Got it at my local butcher, thanks to butcher's Dietz for the easy and reliable service!
Picked it up on monday, the 21st of december.
Happy New Year
I hope everybody had a happy new year!
What are your wishes and resolutions for 2016? Well, obviously, for any wargamer it is to actually do more within the hobby, like painting and gaming. Same counts for me.
Holiday business
After this "marathon" of posts during December, i use the holidays to spend some time regenerating and relaxing.
Since mid-december i enjoy a couple of tv shows on Netflix while tinkering, i can only recommend Ray Donovan and The Americans. What else is on between christmas and new year? I am working on some of the articles i announced in the christmas post, taking care of terrain and the following.
The first is a Reaper Master Series 54mm miniature of an US Army serviceman. Solid cast, details are good, could be better but it is okay.
New language support
A big update for Chaosbunker at the end of this year. I switched the page from bilingual content, into a cleaner, multi-language blog. So if you are viewing this with the "english" language setting, you only see the english content, and with the german setting, only the german content. No mixed articles any more.
For a cleaner, leaner and more appealing way to enjoy this blog. Hope you guys like it.
X-Mas Presents a.k.a. 2016 teaser
Wow, what a month! 24 days in a row, lots different content and articles. Hope you enjoyed it as much, as i did writing it.
But i am not quite finished yet, there is more to come next year, after i had a short break. So as a special christmas present, i want to let you in on what's under the tree.
I have a few board games in the queue, among others there is Arcadia Quest, Dead of Winter and Rise of the Kage.
German Wars – Part IV
After traveling through the ages from 1525 to the present, in the last 3 parts, in part IV i jump back in time. As promissed i try to cover the conflicts of and in the early holy roman empire.
Age of Tyrants Preview
The World of Urban War has a comeback. After a Skirmish with Urban War, and the larger Metropolis, with Age of Tyrants it is about 6mm mass combat.
Myriad Miniatures is in charge of this project, has gathered some well known names around them and got Prodos in for the resin casting, who also support for example Freebooter Miniatures with their Ogre, Armoured Syndicate and others.
Pinterest: Lead Plague, Back of Beyond and Panzerserra
Last few days until christmas, and i want to show some really special blogs from my pinterest board. I hope you guys liked the advent calender so far, and a ready to spend some time with your family and friends, have a rest, and maybe enjoy a game and a cold pint.
First pick is from France, Lead Plague. A pretty cool old school project log, about Rogue Trader and Oldhammer. Some original vintage miniatures, along with conversions of newer ones to fit in with the old vibe. Enjoy the nostalgy.
