Warhammer Open Maastricht 2026 – Part 1
It's been a while since the last event that was hosted in Europe by Games Workshop, if you exclude the Golden Demon at the SPIEL. And it is the first ever Warhammer Open in Europe, hosted at the MECC in Maastricht!
And since we really liked Warhammer Fest Europe 2018 in Düsseldorf, we were excited for the announcement of Warhammer Open in Maastricht, since it is just two hours away from us.
From April 24th to 26th, 2026 at Maastricht Exhibition & Conference Centre in The Netherlands, there was a whole weekend filled with gaming events for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, Underworlds and even an narrative format.
Warhammer Open Maastricht 2026 – Part 2
In the second part of our coverage on Warhammer Open Maastricht 2026 we continue with more tables and impressions from the event.
In a corner of their own was the Narrative Event, and they really caught my eye as they went above and beyond to really bring the narrative across, most of them wearing costumes fitting to their army.
Szenario Con 2026
The first event of the year for us is Szenario Con 2026! Despite the poor weather conditions, we made it to Hackenheim. We discussed the location in last year's coverage. Nevertheless, no event report would be complete without a shot of the car park.
As usual, the event was hosted at the Bonnheimer Hof in the Palatinate region, near Bad Kreuznach.
Digital ticket booking was used to manage the available space and keep track of the number of people coming to SzenarioCon.
TabletopWelt Paint Meeting 2025
It was that time again: the Tabletopwelt painting meet-up took place and drew us to Lützensommern at the Rittergut. You can find my report on the 2024 painting meet-up here, so we'll skip some basic information about the location this time.
The weather was better as well. Although it drizzled a little in between, the fact that it was a good 8 °C warmer than last year was a welcome change.
As I was very busy last week, I started packing early. In addition to my painting supplies, I also brought something for the open bar. In addition to the full board provided by the youth hostel (including a fridge stocked with delicious Vita-Cola), many participants bring snacks or drinks from home, some of which are home-brewed. On the way there, I stopped at Haribo and picked up one of the large mixed kilo boxes. Later, numerous other sweets and snacks were added.
Rhein Main Multiversum 2025 – Loot!
It has been a while, since last did a loot-post! Actually 2,5 years ago for Hamburg Tactica 2023. And today I want to show you, what I brought home from the Rhein Main Multiversum 2025!
Usually when I went to an event and I picked some things up, I shared them with you. But the last few years my shopping endeavours changed a bit in habbit, and thus less reason for that kind of post - or my loot was manageable and I just covered it in one of my monthly recap.
A few things at the Bring & Buy caught my eye, like two old copies of the Space Marine Codex of the 6th and 8th Edition. This is not for any gaming project, but rather an addition to my wargaming library, as they cover quite a bit of illustrations and lore and cover the transition from First Borns to Primaris Marines. As well as 9 Imperial Credit coins from the Skullz campaign for a proper deal.
At Spielkontor I picked up a tower from the Renedra Castle range, I already have a few items from that range and the price was decent so I couldn't say no!
Rhein Main Multiversum 2025
The 11th instalment of the Rhein Main Multiversum, hosted by the Tabletop Club Rhein Main, took place in Nidderau, in the state of Hessen (about half an hour north-east of Frankfurt).
Entry was free, and the show took place on 13th and 14th September last weekend.
The venue was the Kultur und Sporthalle Heldenbergen, which has plenty of parking right outside. However, as they share the car park with the surrounding stores, this can be an issue on Saturdays.
CONflict Rhineland 2025
We've been looking forward to this! CONflict Rheinland took place again last weekend, and we once again hosted our own table with Deth Wizards this time.
To put this event into context, CONflict used to be a public event with traders until 2019, but it switched to a closed format when it was relaunched in 2022, and we've been going ever since. We've had tables of our own for the last three years. So, we packed the car with some essentials and headed for Langenfeld, near Leverkusen.
The event runs from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, with some people only staying for Saturday. As we have shown you the car park so many times over the last few years, we skipped it this time. I know, I know — traditions with our event coverage — but unnecessary repetition is wasteful.
As everyday life caught up with some of the participants, there were some last-minute changes to the hosted games. But don't worry — the replacements and other options were colourful too.
Throwback – RPC 2011 Cologne Tabletop Demo Area
With the concept of the Role Play Convention returning in a re-boot as the Role Play Verse, it is a good opportunity to cover the Tabletop Demo Area of 2011 and 2012.
I went into detail about the beginnings of the T3G (TabletopTestGelände, German for Tabletop Demo Area) in the Throwback of the 2010 show, but to sum it up briefly, the Role Play Convention (RPC) was a show in Cologne (the first two years in Münster) covering various role playing contents, from video games, to LARP/cosplay and tabletop games (board, role playing and miniature based). In this wild mix, we had the great opportunity to introduce people to our hobby. We had a large area of 400m² / ~4,300 sqft area for our tabletop area and I coordinated various clubs, traders and manufacturers for the event.
Intermodellbau 2025 Part 1
Last week, from Thursday to Sunday, the Intermodellbau in Dortmund was held. The World's largest trade fair for model building & model sports.
The Intermodellbau is a show, that covers various aspects of the model building hobby, from RC cars to model trains, model kits build from paper, plastic or metal, in all different scales from z-scale to full-scale replicas. It is not a wargaming event but due to the proximity with building models and painting them, we want to give it a try and show you our event coverage on here.
The venue, the trade halls and Westfalenhalle (often used for concerts and other cultural events), are located next to the football stadium Westfalenstadion (home of Borussia Dortmund) and the ice sport centre, and sport a large area for parking as well a good connection towards the highway. The show itself spreads out across six of the eight halls of the venue.
Intermodellbau 2025 Part 2
As we took more than 300 pictures of which over 100 made into the coverage on Intermodellbau 2025, we continue with part 2 here. We went through Halls 3 to 5, and now arrived with the big vehicles and trucks.
Hall 6 - Car model making & Large scale function model building
Once we entered hall 6, we saw an incredibly large display by IG Modellgiganten Stephan Grabs, where huge RC models in 1:8 scale were shown and a great highlight, especially for our youngest, was the chance to take a ride in one of these. A huge thank you to the hosts for this stunning exhibit.
