Show Report: Austrian Salute 2023

 

Saturday, June 3rd, finally had us all gather for Austrian Salute again, after a 3 years hiatus. The day before I packed up lots of paints, paintbrushes, showcase figures, figures to deliver to some people I would meet there, the glass cabinet and all the other stuff and drove off to Oberndorf in Salzburg.

Showcase: Asylum Demon

 

Look at him! It's the Asylum Demon and he feels a-okay. 

Famously the first boss in Dark Souls and usually he shows new players what's what.

This one's from the Asylum Demon expansion for the Dark Souls board game and a fine depiction of the fine fella in 3d miniature form. Hope you like him! (and how couldn't you)

Showcase: O-Joroi Kidobutai TAG

Today we got another Infinity TAG. This time it's a Yu-Jing O-Joroi Kidobutai.

Showcase: Royal Écossais

 

One of two French-raised regiments to partake in the Jacobite uprising of 1745 were the Royal Écossais.

Showcase: Johnny Ringo

 

'Look darlin',this is Johnny Ringo... '.  I painted another one of the lovely CGS busts. This time it's Johnny Ringo, old west gun man of some mystery

Show Report: Tabletop Knights Gaming Day 2023

 

The past weekend I attended the Tabletop Knights' Gaming Day 2023. After 3 years I returned to lovely Marktl in Bavaria.

Showcase: Super Dungeon Explore Pt. 36

 

Here's some more Super Dungeon Explore bosses. Iron Golem and Kasaro To. I'm sure you can see who's who. 

Showcase: PanOceania Jotum TAG

 

Back to Infinity! Here's a PanO Jotum TAG (Tactical Armored Gear, the big robo suits in Infinity).

Showcase: Super Dungeon Explore Pt. 35

 

Hello, hello. It's time for more Super Dungeon Explore figures. In fact I painted these a good while ago now, but I've done so many that there's still fodder for plenty more blog posts!

Mini-Review: Shrine Luminor

 

Here's something a bit different - a large piece of plastic by Games Workshop. Terrain. It's the Shrine Luminor.

Showcase: Saim Hann Aeldari

 

Heyhey, just some army shots of a Saim-Hann project I did a while ago. Hope you like them. :) 

Showcase: Aeldari Avatar

 

Quite an interesting one from that Saim-Hann project - I got to paint the new plastic Avatar. 

Review: Bolt Action Opel Blitz /Maultier

 

Wahey, it's time for yet another WW2 vehicle review. Why not. There's plenty around. So let's talk about Warlord Games' Opel Blitz / Maultier combo kit.

Showcase: 15mm Saga Arabs

 

Heyhey, here's some Arab cavalry in 15mm for Saga. Unfortunately I wasn't to base the figures, but they were quite fun to paint. :) Good, colourful bunch. Hope you like them!

Showcase: Spanish Grenadiers 1808

 

Heyhey, here's some Spanish grenadiers for 1808!

Showcase: Custodes Dawn Eagles and Dreadnought

 

More Adeptus Custodes! Vertus Praetors on  Dawn Eagle jetbikes and a Contemptor Dreadnought.

Showcase: Adeptus Custodes

 

Here's a little Adeptus Custodes strike force.

Showcase: Clans McIntosh and Chattan

 

Here's more highlanders for the Jacobite Rebellion!

Following the last post in which I showed you the player characters from the Defiance board game, here's the alien baddies.

Showcase: Infinity Defiance Characters

 

Heyhey, here's the player characters from Infinity's board game spin-off Defiance.

Showcase: Clan Cameron Highlanders

 

More figures for the Jacobite rebellion! This time it's proper highlanders of clan Cameron.

Showcase: Van Saar Archeoteks and Grav-Cutters

 

In 2021 I posted the Van Saar gang for Necromunda. Here's a neat little addition - Grav-cutters and Archeoteks.

Showcase: Pendraken's English Civil War

 

Heyhey, here's sample pictures of Pendraken Miniatures' English Civil War range. Maybe you recall that the early to mid 17th century - especially in 10mm - is of special interest to me. So it came as a very nice surprise that Pendraken Miniatures asked me to paint their ECW range for their web store. 

So  here's just some samples; the full range you can find on the Pendraken web store. They're great figures, and 10mm is a very, very sensible figure size I think. And don't worry about those pikes - they neither break nor bend (easily). Great stuff, do check them out. 

Showcase: Dark Souls Darkroot Expansion

 

Heyhey, here's more board games goodness. Again fantasy, again dungeon crawling, but a wholly different visual style - it's the Darkroot expansion for the Dark Souls board game!

Showcase: Super Dungeon Explore Pt. 34

High time for some more Super Dungeon Explore figures! Loads of plants today.

Review: Rubicon Models T34/76 & SU-85 AND SU-122

 

Heyhey, time for a model kit review! This one's a double feature too, due to the similarities between the kits. Technically it's a triple feature (or threat, if you prefer) even.

Showcase: Guardians of the Galaxy

Heyhey, here's some more Marvel super heroes - it's the Guardians of the Galaxy. (with a glaring omission or two,but that will be rectified soon!)

Hope you like them!
