Pinterest: Pijlie, Je Lay Emprins and KrautScientist
Here we are, Christmas is coming closer and i want to show you the next three picks from my pinterest board.
Let's begin with Pijlie's Wargames Blog, a dutch neighbor. His Jugula project was the one, i found first and other ongoing projects are not less interesting. So beside the 1:35 gladiator set-up, that i follow as well with the same miniatures, you'll find awesome paintjobs, Frostgrave and nice tours, among others in Berlin.
If you want to get a closer look on those miniatures and maybe meet a few of them in person, pay a visit to Poldercon in Utrecht, NL, on 7th February 2016.
Painting War: Spanish Civil War
A brief nod towards this spanish artist. Heresy Brush, of whom i am a regular reader, is publishing another PaintingWAR book, this time about the Spanish Civil War.
Bolt Action Empires in Flames
After exploring Europe in the beginning and the end, from east to west, covering tank battles, the next supplement for Bolt Action focusses on the pacific and far east, with Empires in Flames.
Evaluating Hell Dorado
After thinking and deciding about Dystopian Wars, the next project that's to be judged. Does it get the axe or the brush?
As not everybody is going to be familiar with the game, i'll give it a short introduction. Hell Dorado is a tabletop skirmisher, originally from France developed and distributed by the now huge company Asmodee. In the meantime, after being dropped by Asmodee, and picked up by Cipher Studios, it received a Kickstarter and a few novelties. The game is set in a fantastic version of the real world, set in the early 17th century. Westeners and Saracens meet demons and those who lost in the underworld. The miniatures are roughly 32-35mm and devilish handsome.
Flashback Friday!
It is Flashback Friday! Wargaming catched me more than 20 years ago and since then, i had the chance to see a lot of different games, places and events. Some of the conventions and events are already covered on Chaosbunker, but others will follow.
Currently the "oldest" coverage is from my third trip to Warhammer World in 2004, so sit back, relax and see how it looked like 11 years ago.
German Wars – Part II
First of all, thanks for the feedback on the first part of wars with german participation.
This section covers the conflicts and wars between 1792 and 1871, beginning with the Napoleonic Wars / War of the First Coalition. Most of these battles cover primary the participation of the Prussian Army.
Pinterest: League of Augsburg, History Maker and Agincourt
Continuing with the introduction of my pinterest board, this time it is about dioramas and lovely terrain. Once again a set of 3, starting with the League of Augsburg.
The League of Augsburg, home of Warfare Miniatures, has an active blog, that covers a lot of different posts around the 16th and 17th hundreds. Among them an interesting series about building the Derrys Walls, including some amazing reference pictures.
You can find the build, from part 1 to currently part 7 over here.
Frostgrave Rulebook
This year, Osprey Games had a surprising release of Frostgrave, a fantasy skirmish in a frozen city. The release of a wargaming rule set, is nothing new for Osprey, so why is this one so popular?
Fischkrieg Space Mat Starfield
Fischkrieg offers gaming mats for quite a while now, but updated their portfolio with new mats made from a material similar to a mousepad.
Evaluating Dystopian Wars
I wrote about evaluating my projects a few days ago, doing a SWOT-analysis, and would like to start with Dystopian Wars.
First off, what are the four characteristics that i am going to check with Dystopian Wars? They are emotion, probability, space and players. But before that, let's get everybody up to level about Dystopian Wars. It is a Victorian/pre-World War One Steampunk/Sci-Fi setting, set in an - you guessed right - dystopian world. In this case it is a mass combat ruleset, set around 1:1200 scale, which offers you gaming on the water, on the land and in the air.
