Bolt Action Tanks
As i am browsing through the boxes of my collection while cleaning and sorting out what i want to sell, i stumble upon half-assembled kits and / or things that i misplaced - but totally happy about finding them again. So i used some of the spare time in the last few weeks to - at least - assemble some of the kits.
Many of those are tanks or armoured vehicles from world war I, interwar or world war II peroids. And you really notice if you have a newer or older kit on your hands. That Ferdinand for example is one great cast and really detailled, no comparison to the BA-6 in the other picture. Both from Warlord Games.
Bolt Action Spanish Civil War Carlists
A little update upon the Spanish troops for Bolt Action. If you follow the blog and read some of the older posts, i have chosen a Carlist Army (who historically sided with the nationalists within the spanish civil war). The Carlists are radical catholics, and the idea this army is a small force from northern Spain, that collected and rescued relics. Most miniatures are from Empress Miniatures, with some inquisition miniatures added from Victoria Miniatures. Why? Because nobody expects the spanish inquisition! The spaniards will be played by the "Armies of Germany" Book. The carlists will most likely be early war Waffen-SS, due to the fanatics rule. They are supported by 2 squads of Guardia Civil (mixed quality Volksgrenadiers), a squad of spanish soldiers with german equipment (Heer Infantry), as well as 2 squads of morrocan mercenaries (uncertain if Osttruppen or Volksgrenadiers). Of course a small tank pool may not be missed. So i got them a Hispano Suiza MC-36 (by Minairon Miniatures), and a Panzer II as well as a BA-6 AC by Warlord Games.
As the miniatures lack certain weapon options, i had to be creative and added SMGs to these two miniatures by Empress Miniatures.
Heidelberger Burgevent Stahleck 2015
Every year the Heidelberger Spieleverlag invites their friends, colleagues and supporters to the Castle Stahleck in Bacharach. The castle is open for visitors and covers a youth hostel and some nice "knightly" rooms, so it is a great place to welcome the guests and enjoy an amazing day along the Rhine, with good weather and lots of sunshine.
2. Dices & Bayonets Con
Last weekend, on the 6th and 7th of June 2015, was the 2nd Dices & Bayonets Con in Speyer. Hosted by the same named Club and managed by a dear friend of mine, Noel Martin.
Several different scales and settings hosted by the local Clubs from Speyer, Worms and the surrounding area. There were even a few traders and a Bring & Buy, on which i found a little gem - a Necromunda Ratskin gang for just twenty euros.
But now i will just leave you with the pictures from Saturday.
Back to the Underhive – Part 2
And again back to the Underhive. First, let me share the collection box of Necromunda, Gorka Morka and other Sidegames from the Warhammer 40.000 Universum. Muties, Diggers, Scavvies and other stuff.
Back to the Underhive – Part 1
While re-arranging the shelfes, i freed up a second one for my Inq28 / Necromunda / Inquimunda Collection. So i decided to proceed doing inventory and basing some of my collection. Therefore i needed to restock on bases.
My Dark Eldar Warband is based on some Voodoo Worx Alien bases, that range was sold to Secret Weapon, so i had to buy them in the states. Fun fact, they arrived at the same time as the Dark Art Bases below, ordered in the UK.
Grenadiers and SCW
I subscribed to the the Wargames Illustrated digital, as their latest deal is just to good to pass it. A full year of WI issues and a Warlord Games plastic box in a bundle for 60 euros. I went for the brand new German Grenadier box (review to follow).
Italeri Tank Traps
Beside the Games Workshop Terrain i got myself the Italeri terrain. It is 1:72 or 20mm scale, but can be bought via Warlord Games as a repack for 28mm. It is the same, you just pay more for the different packaging.
Morrs Garden and Aegis Line
Morrs Garden and some parts of the Aegis Line / Bastions were still in sprues, as i found them.
I like the Morrs Garden kit, as it does not only fit into Warhammer Fantasy, but might be used for any Dark Fantasy or even Pulp settings. Do you remember the scene in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, when you fought Heinrich I at the cemetery? Let's take a look.
Grim Dark Flyers
As mentioned before, i assembled some kits during the cleaning and tidying up. First we have the Space Marine Stormtalon. It is an interesting kit, but the design has some certain flaws. It is supposed to be something nimble, but it is to bulky, so i modified some parts.
