Recap of 2013

Okay, the new year is about a month old now and things have settled so much that I can have a cup of tea and reminisce about the past year. Looking back over 2013 I have to say that there are a bunch of outstanding things that happened and which I wouldn't have seen coming the prior year.

The year started out rather regularly - being snowed under with commission work, painting away at Space Marines (of several different colours and Chaos- and Pre-Heresy- variants) Chaos Daemons, another set of Dreadfleet, a bunch more Discworld figures, a Flames of War army, two titans.

Showcase: Malcador Infernus

For the last part of the Nurgle show: Malcador Infernus. Renegade-built and hopefully maintained.

Showcase: Reaver Titan

And here we got the finished Reaver Titan. It's a very satisfying sight I'm sure you will understand because quite a few hours of work went into this one. But dang it, is that thing impressive.

Showcase: Nurgle Heldrake

Proceeding with the Nurgly parade of big but icky things - here's the Heldrake!

Showcase: Nurgle Forgefiend

About time pictures of the finished Forgefiend showed up, right? Well, so here it is. Very fun model to work with. Way more pictures after the jump.

Review: Warlord Games Red Army infantry VS. Black Tree Design Red Army infantry

For the last article in the WW2 month-and-a-half series I would like to review not one but two miniatures packs. In the red corner we got Warlord Games' Red Army infantry, in the other red corner we got the Soviet rifle platoon by Black Tree Design.

First I will have a look at each of the sets seperately and then compare them next to each other.

Review: 28mm Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.C

I'm a highly irrational person with no sense of proportion or decency. This is why I got myself one of those "German 500 points" deals from Warlord Games for Christmas (despite already have some other WW2 figures at another scale). In regular terms this amounts to two infantry sections and five extra fellas, an MG42 medium machine gun team, a 81mm mortar team and a plastic Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.C, one of Warlord Games' plastic vehicles they recently released.

This is what I want to take a look at today.
