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 [...]
That’s some piece of fine news – Maelstrom Games, producer of the fine Banelords miniature range – is now selling the bitz of their miniatures separately. A conversion-man’s dream coming true, many years after Games Workshop stopped doing that… To me, this opens a lot of possibilities. So far there are only few miniatures from [...]
At the moment I have only little time for my hobbies, including tabletop… it’s a pity, but at least I can always think, dream, plan… Apart from the many games I already own, collect and occasionally play, there are many more I want to have… this hobby is full of great (and sometimes wacky) products [...]
Ah, those glorious holidays! Not the best I ever had, but after being married and father for all too many years, I have learned to be content with whatever I get… I paint a lot (well, a lot for me… perhaps one hour or two a day, but normally I have that amount of time [...]
[Crow's nest is my category for writing about sites and articles on the web that I find interesting, cool or just weird - you've been warned...] I remember that many months ago I promised to go down to Kulmbach to visit the Deutsches Zinnfigurenmuseum (German pewter miniatures museum) on the Plassenburg. Well, that never really [...]
I decided to start a new category: the Crow’s nest will be my place where I want to talk about articles and websites I stumbled upon (or were pointed at) that I find inspiring, interesting or just hilarious. After all I might not be a “digital native” (or “Heisei Kid”, as they say in Japan), [...]
