sprues, tanks and handworker stores

Some items, some very useful items, you find in the handworker stores. While catching some items for work, i grabbed a few sheets of abrasive paper and some clamps. You get such things specificaly for model building, but the diy-store usually have the more reasonable prices.

Thoughts on Specialist Games revival

The rumours are spreading and growing wild, so far only one thing was confirmed - Games Workshop is re-founding a studio for the Specialist Games.

Is this a reason to get exited? Yes and no. Why both answers? It depends on what you are looking for.

Pinterest: Pijlie, Je Lay Emprins and KrautScientist

Here we are, Christmas is coming closer and i want to show you the next three picks from my pinterest board.

Let's begin with Pijlie's Wargames Blog, a dutch neighbor. His Jugula project was the one, i found first and other ongoing projects are not less interesting. So beside the 1:35 gladiator set-up, that i follow as well with the same miniatures, you'll find awesome paintjobs, Frostgrave and nice tours, among others in Berlin.

Evaluating Hell Dorado

After thinking and deciding about Dystopian Wars, the next project that's to be judged. Does it get the axe or the brush?

As not everybody is going to be familiar with the game, i'll give it a short introduction. Hell Dorado is a tabletop skirmisher, originally from France developed and distributed by the now huge company Asmodee. In the meantime, after being dropped by Asmodee, and picked up by Cipher Studios, it received a Kickstarter and a few novelties. The game is set in a fantastic version of the real world, set in the early 17th century. Westeners and Saracens meet demons and those who lost in the underworld. The miniatures are roughly 32-35mm and devilish handsome.

Flashback Friday!

It is Flashback Friday! Wargaming catched me more than 20 years ago and since then, i had the chance to see a lot of different games, places and events. Some of the conventions and events are already covered on Chaosbunker, but others will follow.

Currently the "oldest" coverage is from my third trip to Warhammer World in 2004, so sit back, relax and see how it looked like 11 years ago.
