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.
Spanish Crusaders
I introduced the spanish Crusaders a while ago. And i want to share the current status with you. The bases were prepared with spackle, pva and sand.
Dark Age Terrain
Inspired by Sigur (from Battle Brush Studio), i got in touch with one the local laser cutting companies and got myself the basics structures for some dark age terrain. I added a few stir sticks for coffee to give it a bit more depth. Quite a funny job and it worked out nicely.
 
Frostgrave & Battlefields in Miniature
North Star teamed up with Osprey and introduced Frostgrave. A Fantasy Skirmish, with Warbands gathered around Wizards and Mages of different schools, that explore the frozen City for treasures and artefacts.
Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung Koblenz
This weekend, was the 15th Long Night of Museums in Koblenz, and i remembered my visit to the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung (Scientific Collection of Defence Engineering Specimen) two years ago. It isn't Bovington and it isn't Munster, but it is something. So i translated the old article to english and here are the three posts. Enjoy!
Bolt Action Germany Strikes!
With the Pacific Expansion right around the corner, Warlord Games makes a jump back to the beginning of World War II with "Germany Strikes!", Early War in Europe.
Mantic Mars Attacks Trucks
Mantic Games released for Mars Attacks these nice Trucks in 28mm scale. They are proper hard plastic, come in a sprue etc., no restic, no resin, straight forward good old plastic. I got myself a set of 3, for general purpose in Necromunda, Zombie Survival etc.
Vintage Wargaming
I have to thank Driscoles from the Sweetwater Board for this great found, that i'd like to share with you.
This is some vintage wargaming, captured on tape, and i really like the gentlemen like way of gaming. These videos were made in the late 70s and it the terrain looks very impressive. They cover Gettysburg (ACW) and Waterloo (Napoleonics), but enough introduction. I'll let you take at the videos by yourself.
Bolt Action Afrikakorps II
In addition to the short review on the plastic Afrikakorps, i will show you the other miniatures of this project. Head of this army is no other than Rommel himself. The Perrys do offer him inside his famous Greif, but this one is a show exclusive from World War AE / Cipher Studio. He is accompanied by the Zug Command from the Perry metal range.
Bolt Action Afrikakorps
I built my Afrikakorps already, but want to share my impressions of the plastic Afrikorps by the Perrys in this small review.
