Showcase: Thanos!

 

Here's the biggest of the bad and the baddest of the big - it's Thanos! And the only thing bigger than him: his comfy chair!

All joking aside though, this one's a big'un. All plastic, all from the Marvel: Crisis Protocol range, and pretty impressive. Fun to paint too!

Hope you like him! 

Showcase: Napoleonic Austrians!

 

Particularly animated ones at that as well! These are Austrian line infantry including command and a sapper, based for skirmish games such as Chosen Men.

If these here look familiar to you - you may have seen them in the Napoloenic supplement for the excellent Muskets&Tomahawks (2nd edition) rules.

I greatly enjoy painting Napoleonic Austrian infantry. In a few weeks time I'll show you my own (also for skirmish gaming, incidently).

Hope you like them!

Show Report: 1. Tabletop Gameday Sigmundsherberg

 

Aaaye, it's been a while since we've done one of those, right? The simple reason being that I hadn't been at any shows in more than two and a half years due to the Covid.

At some point though it was time to dust off the wargaming show stuff and get back out there, and what better occasion than 1. Tabletop Gameday Sigmundsherberg.

Showcase: Dark Souls' Winged Knight & Sentinels

 

Another fan favourite! Who doesn't love the Winged Knight. And look at how straight his halbeard is too. Lovely. I added the golden yellow freehand on his tabard, so he looks proper.

In the second picture you can see his Sentinel pals. 

Hope you like the big lads!

Showcase: Dark Souls' Titanite Demon & Friends

 

Heyhey, time for more Dark Soulsian baddies. Here's the Titanite Demon and several enemies straight from the High Walls of Lothric. I reinstalled Dark Souls 3 just to research the look of these enemies. Because I take my job seriously, damnit!

The funny thing about Dark Souls (the video games) is that they very, very much rely on lighting for the look of the enemies. Which is something that doesn't translate all that well onto miniature. Even in large screenshots or videos it can be hard to figure out what colour something is supposed to be. And still, I had to apply some creative freedom to add at least some colour in those faded blues and greens, mainly to help tell the enemies apart on the board. I also did my best to put the ragged, torn, and very 'spotty' look onto the figures.

One of the many screenshots taken by yours truly.

Anyway, I like them. Hope you do too!

Review: TTCombat Grey Harbor House A

 

Today I will conclude this miniseries of reviews with a bigger model: it's TTCombat's Grey Harbor House A.

Showcase: Dark Souls' Heroes

Today we'll look at the lovely character figures from the Dark Souls board game: Assassin, Knight, Herald and Warrior.

I did my best to retain the colours of the original pieces of starting equipment in the video games. That meant I had to add the design on the Herald's (halbeard, tan cloak) shield free-hand. The design on the Knight's shield (on his back) came cast onto the figure.

Hope you like them!
