This weekend was the 9th LotR Tabletop Community Con, but not as usual at the Kauzenburg, it was held at a new location, the Bonnheimer Hof in Hackenheim.
Otherwise than usual, without my Feldherr messenger bag and only with my dslr equiped, Andreas and i drove down the Rhein toward Bad Kreuznach to pay this event a visit.
In the rural area between Hunsrueck and Rheinhessen, it continues getting more rural until you arrive at a manor. A roll-up in the inner courtyard assures, this is the place! Interesting location, especially for a Lord of the Rings themed event.
As promissed a small view into what was going on in the last few days.
First off all, the freebooters fate goblins are completely build. No easy thing to do, as some parts just needed to be pinned. The casting quality is amazing, without any doubts, but many of the parts that needed to be glued are incredibly tiny and frustrating to assemble.
Merry Christmas everybody! Frohe Weihnachten zusammen!
I was really looking forward to post first pictures of what i was doing earlier, but there has been an evil thief that stole my time. This thief is called steam and is having a Winter Sale, with incredible bargains and deals. And due to the extreme amount of savings, i felt for some of them.
My vacation has now officially started, its thursday morning and there is a long list of to-dos for three and a half weeks of time.
What is the starting situation?
Well, first of all, i got some support with another Boba Fett, who's sitting on my monitor. He complements the star wars theme with the two lego flyers, the x-wing miniatures game and the Boba Fett dice holder (you remember?).
After a whole week in the no-hobby-zone of Basel (Nothing going on, and i mean nothing) I was really looking forward to the Painting and Gaming day at my FLGS CTU in Koblenz.
We have a strong warmachine gaming scene in Koblenz and so it was no wonder, that the German National Championship was one by one of us (congrats Robin!). But it wasn't all about gaming, there was painting as well, as the next Field of Glory Army from the albanian national Coach in the third picture shows.
I finally made it and spent some time painting. The miniatures for my warmachine khador project and the markers were primed and i could start putting some paint on those.
Last saturday the TinSoldiers of Antwerp invited to Crisis. And after the very positive impression from last year, it was a no-brainer that we would go to the show.
And with this picture of the event-legends from Salute, the South London Warlords, we head over to the second part of the coverage.
Beside the traders a lot of participation tables are the reason for the visitors to come to Crisis, so let's talk a look on a couple of them.
There was a lot to see for fantasy and pulp as well at Crisis, thanks to - among others - GCT Studio with Bushido and a french-polish joint booth.
After a successful show at Spiel, the next harbour for Freebooter was Antwerp.
And this away mission was succesful as well. The booth was heavily crowded from the first 15 minutes until the very last hours of the show. I was lucky enough to even get a line of sight for a picture of Werner.
