Trains, Terrain and Tons of Stuff
Just a quick heads up, what is going on currently. While i just finished the text, for the Imperial Knight Review (coming next monday), i want to show you some pictures of my latest additions.
I found this idea over at Stronghold Terrains Blog, Elmar did get his hand on some Fleischmann Magic Train. They fit perfect for 28mm / Bolt Action, as you can see. I got myself a nice little set of 6 at eBay for 20 bucks. They need a little paint, and then they are ready to go.
Bitbox #5 2014
On Sunday, march 16 2014, Franz and Werner invited for the spring Bitbox to Mülheim an der Ruhr. I followed the invitation, like many others. I want to make sure, for editorial reasons, that the parking lots are seen.
Back from the 5th BitBox
I am back from the 5th BitBox, the first in 2014. Boy, what a blast! And what bargains i could gather.
German Open and Bitbox anticipation
Roughly a month without a post, that's something i had to take care of. There were tabletop related activites in the meantime. I did a real huge load of Tank reviews! A whole month filled with heavy armoured vehicles.
Last weekend, there were the German Open in Field of Glory at the wonderful Marksburg in Braubach. I have covered it last year, if some of you remember, Field of Glory German Open 2013.
Winter is coming
Winter is coming. I finally completed the 35 Points of Khadorians. I really pushed myself to finish these miniatures ... and i had the deadline for the next Tabletop Insider 😉
Tank month
It took a few weeks but my order at Ainsty Castings arrived. I bought a couple of items, some monuments that will be perfect for almost every setting. A raft, that will a nice addendum for the German Marines i painted earlier, and for some Spec-Op Missions (Commandos etc.). The riverboat was a bargain, and is a nice piece of terrain and will be used for boarding and river settings. And the last part ... a tardis. Eventhough i am not a Dr. Who Fan (i think its just weird), but hey a tardis, ... why not?
Low Level Piracy
The tanks are organized? Check. So what next? Opening up some goodies that came in the post the last days.
What's first? Well Four A Miniatures delivered, i ordered Creature from the Black Lagoon and ALF. Casting looks good, everything went quick. /me happy.
Organisation of Tanks
I took the time to tinker around the use of my grown motor pool of tanks for Bolt Action and their usage to certain lists. This is now needed, to prepare the right color scheme.
For that, I prepared a division of the miniatures into certain themed lists, as you see below.
2014 or Hetzers gonna hetz
Welcome to the new year and a rather bold start with some painted miniatures. Let's start with some terrain, i did first colors on the lovely Renedra Shed. It's amazing to see how good drybrushing works on these kits. That is just black primer with 3 different drybrushs (different colors for the roof and planks).
The Last of 2013
The last update in 2013. A last peak at the workbench. This won't be finished today, as we are preparing the evening programme. So what are we looking at in detail? A few Kickstarter Freebooter Miniatures are assembled, as you can see in the right picture. Further more there are the Anglo-Saxons for SAGA and a couple of kits for my Bolt Action motorpool.
