  • Hartmut von Kronberg

    Hartmut von Kronberg

    Hartmut von Kronberg, Miniaturen bemalt von Tankred

    This unit was painted for our Club´s presentation during Tactica 2013. It depicts the german knight Hartmut von Kronberg who earned money with robbery in the Area of Frankfurt am Main and Darmstadt. The basing is again for Impetus, Miniatures are designed by Perry Miniatures.

    The lances are flexible and were hand made by me. All banners were printed out and painted over.

    The tent was designed by me, I used various materials to design the master. This is actually a copy made with dental plaster. I have made a few more which showed the siege area on the gaming table.

  • Container and Boxes for SciFi

    Container and Boxes for SciFi

    Container miniature for 28mm models from Pardulon painted by Tankred in Shadowrun style with Saeder Krupp Logo

    During Tactica 2013 (see my Tactica image gallery on our club page here) I bought some very nice boxes and a container from Pardulon Models. For years I searched a reason for buying some of this great stuff but I lacked a gaming system which fitted. Pardulon provides models for Fantasy in WH style, for post apocalyptic games, for modern settings and for SciFi settings. None of them are played right now. However I started to play the RPG Shadowrun and decided to paint some obstacles for our tactical paper board, since we often play on maps. The plan is to have one small peace of scenery available for every gaming session, which rarely occur. For sure having some scenerey for Infinity is also good, since our friends from Tabletop Club Rhein Main e.V. want to show us the game.

    Detail on the container, sponge technic used for damages

    The model itself was a fun to paint. I airbrushed the model on a black priming with white spraying from high noon sun position. Adding red with the airbrush left much of that structure. A tipp which was told me by Glorfunzel. I took me almost 20 years to get to know the basics of airbrushing…

    I used the sponge technic to add damages and added rust pigments. A last finish with smoke from vallejo and the black ink from GW added oily spots and dirt.

    The logo shows the fictional Shadowrun Corporation SAEDERKRUPP which operates in the story in the area which used to be germany. Since we play in that area, this was the first choice.

  • Hungarian Bofors, Hetzer and Field Kitchen

    Hungarian Bofors, Hetzer and Field Kitchen

    Actually this is one of the first finished armies on unfinished armies. The last two units I wanted to paint are the hungarian Bofors and a second objective.

    After collecting hungarians for now three years I finished my mid war hungarians with the core troops for a Lorried Infantry company and Tank company.

    Hungarian Bofor Anti Air Cannon, model by Battlefront, Flames of War, painted by Tankred

    The hungarian Bofors for mid war need to get an head swap with the german or hungarian heads available from Battlefront. Meanwhile there are Bofor Anti Air Emplacements available, which have special rules for late war. Painting these models is very time intensive, since the guns have many peaces, and I painted ammo boxes, crews, gun carriages and guns separately.

    Hungarian Bofor Anti Air Cannon, model by Battlefront, Flames of War, painted by Tankred

    The hungarian Bofors seemed to be used without the gun shields. Battlefront wrote, that there were some shields which looked different from the british versions coming with the miniatures. In Flames of War the two guns with the command team are available for 50 points, which is very attractive from a army composition point of view.

    Dug in markers, sand bag emplacements designed by Ekimdj, painted by Tankred

    For the Bofors I painted a present from Ekimdj, who designed this excellent emplacements or dug in markers for FoW. They were a fun to paint and show oil barrels, wooden boxes and sand backs with a very realistic look. I need to get more of them, since they add a lot of flavour to the scenery.

    Dug in markers, sand bag emplacements designed by Ekimdj, painted by Tankred

    When playing hungarians it´s very essential to dig in to cope with the overwhelming sovjet mass. Hence it´s very good to have markers for this special hungarian skill available. Hungarians may repeat their dig in roll.

    Another detail modeled by Ekimdj are the three oil barrels with the camo sheet on them. I painted them in the typical hungarian camo style.

    Gulaschkanone, Hungarian field kitchen, model by Battlefront, modification and painting Tankred

    For a very long time I planned a hungarian field kitchen as my second objective for playing FoW. I wanted this because in german field kitchens are called Gulaschkanone which literally means Goulash cannon. Although the famous goulash soup is a national dish in hungary but the phrase Gulaschkanone is not used. I couldn´t resist and had to build this model by modifying the horse cart model by battlefront. I added a chimney, which could be folded down and some round devices on my scratch built cart construction.

    The original battlefront cart can be seen on the right. It is covered with a tarpaulin in hungarian three colour camouflage.

    Hungarian Hetzer, models by Battlefront, FoW, painted by Tankred

    Since my mid war collection for infantry and tank company is finished, I painted some models, which are suitable for late war. I always liked the german Hetzer from a design perspective and urgently wanted a unit of them. Since mid war is done, this is the first late war model in my collection. The king is dead, long live the king.

  • Heavy Patrician Cavalry Weiß von Limpurg

    Heavy Patrician Cavalry miniatures by Perry Miniatures painted by Tankred

    For completing my Impetus Tournament army I painted another element of heavy cavalry. I have chosen a patrician family from Frankfurt Weiß von Limpurg and added many banners. The smaller banners were inspired by Frank Becker´s Lannister knights. The smaller banners were a fun to model.

    This time I modeled my own lances using plastic bristles from brooms with greenstuff added for the hand guards. These are flexible which is very important for transport and gaming.

    During the Tournament this element was our commanding element. We played with the Sigismund´s Imperials list and came 7th from 8 participants. Waldi was my team mate. We learned a lot and immediatly started to think about better combinations for our lists.

  • Norman conquering infantry for SAGA

    Norman conquering infantry for SAGA

    Norman infantry conquering England. Perry Miniatures painted bei Tankred

    I rebased these norman infantry with kite shields in order to build the backbone of my SAGA warband. Unfortunately the battleboard focusses on bowmen and cavalry, what a pity that I have so much spearmen. But on the other hand I have beautiful miniatures to take pictures with.

    During finalizing these miniatures the worst case of all painters took place: I took by accident the paint can instead of the varnish can. After that mistake I reduced the brown spray with Acetone and q-tips. It worked quite good, surely because I had varnished the models years before. But try if you managed to make that mistake, too.

    The fortified farm house are from Hudson & Allen, I purchased them via EBOB miniatures. They were designed for scotish highlands but I think they also fit perfect for 1066. I painted the model in order to have a backdrop for the pictures and to have a dark medieval feeling on the battlefield.

    I added pale static grass to the roofs. This came out very good, if you ask me. I tried cocos fabric with another roof, but these are far to thick although the color looks excellent.

    All spears are made from Flexi Pikes.

    Norman crossbowmen, Perry Miniatures painted by Tankred

    The crossbowmen were painted this year in order to play SAGA. I did them in a hurry, but they came out not too bad.

     

  • Knights of Kronberg – The Donkey Charge

    Knights of Kronberg – The Donkey Charge

    Knights of Kronberg, painted by Tankred, Perry Miniatures

    Our Club´s annual presentation for this year´s Tactica Hamburg was the Feud of Kronberg, a medieval local conflict between Frankfurt and nearby living Knights of Kronberg. During the Battle of Eschborn 1389 the Kronberg Knights led a charge in against the troops of Frankfurt. There is a myth around this battle. It was told that one of the knights lost his destrier and desparetly searched for a mount in the area. Unfortunately he was only able to find a donkey on which he rode into tha battle.

    His charge was so devastating that the Frankfurters were completly demoralised and fled the ground. One stirps of the family has donkey ears in their family crest.

    A knight of Kronberg riding on a donkey into the battle.

    In order to have this myth appearing in the presentation I asked Ebob if he could do me a donkey or a mule because he really sculpts excellent mounts. He did this outstanding mule, thank you so much for this, and I mounted a knight on it. It is very funny that people did not notice it without help. A wrong mount in a group seems to be not very obvious. However it was great fun to paint.

    The house and fence is from perry miniatures.

    I was asked to post detailed pictures showing the farmer woman and her children and the knights in detail. Here you are.
