In our upcoming campaingn there is already one thing for sure: The axis has to cope with a lot of russian tanks, since most club members start their force with a tankovy battaillion. I will have a game this week against 11 KV1s. Therefore I urgently need heavy gun options. The Panzer IV for sure is one option against heavy soviet tanks. I decided not to fix the gun barrels to the turret permanently but to use rare earth magnets …
Outstanding Theoden (besides the strange balustrade): Massive Voodoo Author Der_Ben showed an really impressive Theoden. Remember that this model is true 28mm! Realistic futuristic weathering: A cool future vehicle designed by Antenociti, painted and weathered by dwartist. The 28mm vehicle looks really impressive. Weathering with pigments is not as easy as it seems to be, so look how the pro does it. Early war preview by Battlefront: The new Flames of war boxes really look excellent! Ebobs 1:700 Battleship model: …
Usually I do not care about WIP posts. Personally I do not like WIPs when they show miniatures besides the painting technic is somewhat special. However I decided to show you my Toldis and Csabas before they are finished, because I managed to airbrush a quite good 3 color camoflage. Frank Bauer and Lemming told me in the german Sweetwater Forums when they saw my Famo trucks, that the scale of the airbrushed camo is not right. For sure I …
Scenery Cianty has a nice post on model supplies for furniture, markets and inn signs in 28 mm. Tree Tutorial Frank Bauer did an excellent Tree tutorial in german. However pictures should help you to understand the tutorial, I can help if you guys have questions. By the way Frank used the italian Houses Rusus and I designed in 15mm. Science Fiction terrain Rémi Bostal did post marveless pictures showing alien minatures in his scenery. Painting Knights Antipater continued with …
This platoon has seen a somewhat funny story: I painted it in order to support either my hungarian tank company or motorised infantry. For sure artillery is important and the german 10,5 cm guns can provide a means against russian tanks in artillery bomardments. To field a hungarian platoon means, that you have to buy two blister guns, a hungarian artillery crew blister and the towing vehicles as well. A lot of money if you consider to field alternatively mortars …
I managed to finish the core of my hungarian tank company. The core was not very hard in history. When the 1st armoured division fought at the river Don in 1942 their T-38G tanks were absolutely useless against most of the tanks the Sovjets threw at the hungarian controlled sector. The main gun was to weak to cope with T34 and for sure with KV1 tanks. The models are really tiny compared to other german Tanks, e.g. Panzer IV. However …
First of all I would like to mention the excellent gaming table and the great Game I had with Frank Bauer. He built a great italian Gaming Table using the Italian Village Rusus and me designed last year. The models are still available and the range will be expanded. I use these great pictures in order to illustrate the army I used for the last 3 years mainly when playing FoW. Yesterday I had the last game within our Club´s …
Scenery Rémi posted some new photos of his Science Fiction Terrain. Absolute superb! Normandy 1944 „The Big Picture“ of the Boston Post shows a really impressive Picture show of the D-Day 66 years ago.
Please find attached my recommended reading for today: Spodding Dargorlad did carve a pillar just using Geboom´s dental plaster technic. Tabletop Terrain Stu did finish his carthagian 15mm DBA army. Really good stuff and a high discipline to finish that old projects. The Hobbit Del Toro´s good bye. Incredible Miniature Collection: The Ron Ringrose Collection
For our yearly German Lord of the Rings gaming Event on the Kauzenburg I decided this year to show up with a scenario from the Fellowship Hobby book – Fog on the barrow heights. Having painted all miniatures of the beautiful barrow height box, I decided to paint a barrow, which I bought via EBOB´s webshop. The centerpiece, which was excellent designed should be accompanied by more barrows. I decided to build some by myself. The building was quite easy, …
