Crisis 2015 Teaser
This weekend it is time for Crisis in Antwerp, and as it is the biggest wargaming event in continental europe i am really excited and looking forward for this long weekend in Belgium.
So what am i excited about? First of all, the novelties on this show are broad and diverse, so from tiny 6mm up to 40mm, from fictional to historical there are so many things to see. What did catch my eye before the show?
Heer46 SdKfz 247 Ausf. B
This will be released at the Crisis this weekend, but i am lucky enough, to already have one here for an unboxing - the SdKfz 247 Ausf. B by Heer 46.
Afrikakorps and Conversions
Spend some time at the weekend with the airbrush. Preparing my Afrikakorps, which consists mostly of Rubicon vehicles and Perry infantry.
I started with Vallejo black primer. You can use it directly from the bottle, but i thin it down a bit never the less. You get a thinner coat with the airbrush, compared to the spray can. But it takes a bit longer. And it is a bit more matt finish. At the moment the motorized part of the Afrikakorps consists of an Tiger I, a Panzer III and IV, SdKfz 251 and Opel Blitz, with two more to come. The Greif and Kübelwagen aren't prepared yet and will follow in another batch.
Renedra Sandbags
Renedra covers quite a lot terrain plastic kits nowadays and among them is an accessoire sprue with sandbags. These come in single or double pack for 5 / 8 GBP.
Star Wars, Bolt Action and Hordes
Warlord Games released a couple of nifty things earlier, among them the Polish Black Brigade and CFC Lee.
Spanish Souvenirs
My parents were visiting "the Motherland" (in my case Spain - not to be mixed up with "the Fatherland", Germany) 😀 and as the great parents they are (the supported the beginnings of my now 20 years of wargaming madness), they brought along some items i asked for - and some i didn't even thought about asking for.
So beside some delicious sweets and candies (i have a soft spot for oreos), i got a estela de barros / stela that i wanted for the living room, along with a book about the secrets of Cantabria. My father even got me a spanish wargaming magazine (you just know me to well :D). The magazine is called Desperta Ferro! (Awake Iron), which is an medieval catalan battle cry used by the Almogavars.
