The Walking Dead – All out War Miniature Boardgame
With the mid-season break on the TV series by AMC, it is time for some The Walking Dead, but this time as a miniatures boardgame by Mantic Games. And with all the Kickstarter pledges arriving, I want to show you, what the regular box looks like.
Pinterest: Vaults, Swamps and Deserts
For a last time before christmas, on the 4th advent, I'll pick another interesting three project, that I want to share with you.
The first one brings us to the Vault! An amazing elaborated project by Deltadog, who's working on a Fallout themed board game for himself. With a lot of attention to detail this project has grown to almost 50 pages on Lead Adventure.
Crooked Dice – Paranormal Exterminators Vehicle
Who you gonna call? You get the reference! 😉 Crooked Dice released earlier this year the Paranormal Exterminators Vehicle for their 7 TV Range.
Beyond the Gates of Antares C3M4 Combat Drone
In April of this year, the first vehicle made from plastic for Beyond the Gates of Antares was available. A big step for the system and Warlord Games. It moves the game into another, available size and shows that the game is big enough to be supported by an advanced plastic kit.
Pinterest: Grim Dark, Steampunk and the sands of Africa
December is moving forward, closer to christmas and it is time again to cover some more picks from pinterest and the boards.
The french Blog le Kouzes is entirely focussed on 40k, some really nice conversions and he covers an advent calendar as well. Just look at this conversions, like the arbites from the latest human Blood Bowl team, the flyer based upon a knight or this extensive plague centurion. If you dig into it, you'll find years and years of content, going back to 2008 (56 articles alone back then...).
Games Workshop on the rise?
Most of you probably noticed the drastic change at Games Workshop in the last few month and it seems that their pace in this "conversion" is quite fast.
Still many people are irritated by the transition of Warhammer Fantasy into Age of Sigmar. You have any reason to be, if you're looking for mass combat with large regiments, Age of Sigmar won't be your choice. But remember what is one of the biggest problems in our hobby. The high barrier of entry. And this high barrier is a reason for many other systems to not succeed.
Pinterest: Inq28, Mutiny and Conversions
Continuing with the coverage from last years advent calendar, I'd like to share some picks from my Pinterest collection. You might have noticed the pinterest widget in the lower right corner of the blog. I started using pinterest to collect websites and images to different topics, and I thought it would be a nice addition to a blog roll, to gather and collect wargaming relevant content.
WilhelMiniatures has some Inq28 delight, very Blanche-esque. So if you like the dark, gritty artwork of John Blanche and the background of Rogue Trader and Warhammer 40.000, you should definitely pay this blog a visit. His conversions are a wild mixture all across the range of parts along with very talented sculpting. Some of the miniatures can be seen in the Blanchitsu articles in White Dwarf and the Games Workshop Gallery.
Oldhammer much?
This year is my 20th (!) "anniversary" in wargaming. Still can't believe it has been that long, since my first miniatures and wargaming rules.
Inspired by the exhibiton at Tactica 2017 and associated contest on Sweetwater, I would like to share my beginnings in wargaming. It must have been the summer of 96, in an art study group at school. Somebody had Heroquest miniatures with them, and my oldest friend Holger remembered, seeing those at a toy store near our home town. We had 30-60 minute car travels (well, we annoyed our parents until the drove us) to nearby cities, to get our hands on our first White Dwarfs. In September I bought my first miniature, a Space Marine Veteran Sergeant or Captain, that I painted directly in store - in the colour of the Blood Angels, as those are part of the current starter box. Later that year I subscribed to White Dwarf, as it was an incredible hassle to get one in the countryside.
HATE Con Zom 2016
Last weekend the HACKNEY AREA TABLETOP ENTHUSIASTS held their HATE Con Zom at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club in London.
Starting a Genestealer Cult
I'm quite amazed by the recent release of the Genestealer Cult. Games Workshop seems to do a lot of interesting and well meant things currently. Horus Heresy in plastic, first look at Adeptus Custodes in plastic as well, and then these Rogue Trader flashback in form of the genestealer cult.
I was already hooked when they released Deathwatch Overkill, and I managed to acquire the part of the genestealer cult for a small dime.
