Kategorie: What I like today

Impetus Army:
Hetairoi published pictures of his excellent Samurai cavalry.

Pirate scenery:
Dagorlad did some beautiful dangerous scenery for a pirate setting.

Mantic Games interview:

Great wargaming table ideas:

Hobby madness:
Tom Wise is already well known for painting insane amounts of FoW models. Now he painted 339 Kingtigers and Tigers. This is round about 25% of the tigers which actually were produced. What you should know ist that you need a couple of models to play a standard FoW game. Perhaps he should ask for some help to get rid off his obsession. This is what I dislike. Having hundreds of (identical) Tiger models ist simply stupid.
