Just booked my flights for Salute. April 16th it is, at ExCel exhibition hall in London. So pack your bags, grab your pounds and get ready to spend some of that quids on plastic, resin and lead.
I will bring my dslr and cover the show for you, but beforehand a few teasers and previews on what we can expect and what i am already excited about.
Everybody is in christmas mood, so let's not forget that New Years Eve and as such 2016 is coming. So what can we expect event wise next year and what should be on everybodies agenda.
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.
Weekend Update with Seth Meyers ... erm, no. But Weekend Update is right. Busy weekend.
This weekend was the HdR Szenario, a small convention in the Pfalz. Its held at a Inn outside of a small town and used to be on a castle, the Kauzenburg. So a couple of gaming tables, workshops and a few traders. Quite a nice convention.
Easter is coming, and i have a short break from work for a couple of days. I started painting the Imperial Knight, as a Freeblade. I did a review on this kit, the Imperial Knight, and while painting it I am still bummed out about the Decal "fraud".
I kept most of the parts unglued, for easier painting. All parts were primed Black, and the armour parts were given a nice primer with Bolt Action German Fieldgrey, a very greenish grey. The metal parts got heavily drybrushed with metal from AP, but will get another go to really bring out the shiny color. As a contrast to the green, i choosed a bronze /brown-gold color for the armour trims. I'll keep working on this model in the next few days.
This weekend was the 9th LotR Tabletop Community Con, but not as usual at the Kauzenburg, it was held at a new location, the Bonnheimer Hof in Hackenheim.
Otherwise than usual, without my Feldherr messenger bag and only with my dslr equiped, Andreas and i drove down the Rhein toward Bad Kreuznach to pay this event a visit.
In the rural area between Hunsrueck and Rheinhessen, it continues getting more rural until you arrive at a manor. A roll-up in the inner courtyard assures, this is the place! Interesting location, especially for a Lord of the Rings themed event.
Last saturday the TinSoldiers of Antwerp invited to Crisis. And after the very positive impression from last year, it was a no-brainer that we would go to the show.
And with this picture of the event-legends from Salute, the South London Warlords, we head over to the second part of the coverage.
Beside the traders a lot of participation tables are the reason for the visitors to come to Crisis, so let's talk a look on a couple of them.
There was a lot to see for fantasy and pulp as well at Crisis, thanks to - among others - GCT Studio with Bushido and a french-polish joint booth.
After a successful show at Spiel, the next harbour for Freebooter was Antwerp.
And this away mission was succesful as well. The booth was heavily crowded from the first 15 minutes until the very last hours of the show. I was lucky enough to even get a line of sight for a picture of Werner.
