Well, I am quite inclined to not make too much fuss about June’s White Dwarf… so let’s make this short ‘n sweet… what do we have in this issue? Warhammer Fantasy Battles New Releases: little to comment here, as the White Dwarf only brings the new Savage Orc Big Boss and a Goblin shaman, [...]
For a change I am doing this review quite on time for a change… so without further ado, let’s take a look at May’s White Dwarf. Can it be called a good, issue, a fine issue or just a gloriously illustrated catalogue of shiny new products from Games Workshop? Not that it would be that [...]
Well, after reviewing James Swallow’s tales “Faith & Fire” and “Red & Black“, you would have known that I’d continue with the third Sisters of Battle tale, wouldn’t you? So here it is, “Hammer & Anvil“, published by the Black Library in 2011 to coincide with the release of the newest incarnation of the Codices [...]
Before I start I should mention that this is actually the first “proper” Black Library-publication I’ve ever read. Normally I shun reading tie-ins, as it is quite difficult to produce a good book here. That’s because the usual readers of tie-ins are hardcore fans of the corresponding movie or game. They have a fixed set [...]
Well, I am late again, no doubt about that – but as I only returned from Japan last week, I actually only found time to read my Dwarf yesterday… sometimes it can’t be helped… Still, let’s take a look at April’s White Dwarf – is it worth buying or (if you already bought yours) reading [...]
Review: Titan Forge – Demon Slayers Cleansing Squad Shoulder Pads & Robes
Yesterday I had a look at Titan Forge’s Shoulder Pads and Robes for the Demon Slayers Heavy Squad – today I will review to other sets of bitz the folks at Titan Forge generously gave me for just that purpose. If you haven’t had a look at my other review, please do so now. There [...]
Review: Titan Forge – Demon Slayers Heavy Veteran Shoulder Pads & Robes
Titan Forge is a relatively new company from Poland, that hotbed for innovative bitz- and miniature makers (think of Scibor and Micro Art and you know what I mean!). During the last months, they have built up an impressive portfolio of miniatures, bitz and bases cast in resin, with parts for (almost) everybody out there. [...]
It’s astounding, time is fleeting…. as I will be off for a longer holiday later this month, I am running quite out of hobby time and my White Dwarf reviews – while being fun and actually blockbusters on this blog – are taking away quite a lot of them… I thought about abandoning those [...]
And here it is, gentlemen: my 25th anniversary model…
It took Games Workshop and the German Post quite some time to get this one sent to me, but finally my specimen of the limited 25th anniversary model arrived here last Wednesday. Normally I have the peculiar habit of opening my pewter or plastic fix only on my hobby evenings on Friday or Saturday, but [...]
Well, I guess I can keep this one rather short – first, because I am quite tired today, but secondly and foremost because it’s always less fun reviewing the tools of the trade than reviewing the nice miniatures you paint and adapt and convert with them – unless you are some kind of tool-fetishist, of [...]
I’m sorry for not having posted for a couple of weeks… had a hard time, mentally… but as they say, there are good days, there are bad days… but I’ll improve… Talking about something else, as you might remember I did spent some of my meager spare time by cutting up that pile of styrofoam [...]

Well, time for another posting about the Bushido campaign on Indiegogo – after all, I put some money into this one, too, so it’s a natural thing… I am pretty astonished how quickly the 20,000 $ stretch goal was passed. To be honest, I didn’t expect this one… but it seems almost every fan of [...]
Welliwelliwelliwell, it’s that time of the year – Games Workshop is rising its prices (and kicking the life out of Warhammer Historical while they’re at it). And – who would have guessed? – it’s the time where all over the web the gamers are going overboard with surprise, hate, and various announcements of how now [...]
Last weekend I finally found time to go to the nearest Hardware Store and get some polysterene for two of my modular terrain projects – the “Canals of Venice” (also suitable for Mordheim, Eden and whatever game I play in an urban environment with loads of canals) and the “Sewers” – also suitable for many [...]
I’m sorry for not having posted for quite a number of days – there is too much “real life” going on at the moment, including some delicate job applications… so there’s not much hobby to report anyway… Talking about something else, today the first photos of the upcoming flyers for Warhammer 40.000 were leaked. And [...]
Just a short one today – it is a public holiday in Germany, but I want to use that time for some painting and ordinary household chores (well, there is a real life I sometimes have to attend to). A side project of mine during the bygone weeks was to find a way to create [...]
I haven’t posted that bit so far, but quite some months ago I won a EDEN starterset on that wonderful little newssite Tabletop Fix. It took Falk, the mastermind behind the website, quite some time to get hold of the starter set and to send it to me – but today it arrived: hooray! I [...]
If you follow my Blog you know that I have recently started to induldge myself into Carnevale, a fairly new skirmish game set in the alternate reality of the decaying city of Venice in 1795. Reading the rulebook and planning my forces and terrain pieces is quite a pleasure (and once I get hold of [...]
I had very much “Real Life” this weekend (no, not the exciting one – the boring one…), so I didn’t really have time (or the mood) for much hobby… still I advanced a lot with my Foamboard ruin. Just a few photos and comments this time, though – having a terrible headache… As you [...]
