Show Report: Austrian Salute 2026

 

Heyhey, it's been a while since the last update. The reason being that I was busy finishing stuff! I'm back now, and here's my annual show report of Austrian Salute.

Showcase: Dark Souls Gaping Dragon

 

Heyhey, it's time for some Dark Souls. This time it's just one figure, but it's a special one - the Gaping Dragon, from the Dark Souls boardgame expansion of the same name.

Showcase: Inquisitorial Retinue

 

Heyhey, here's a bunch of lovely classics from a bit after the turn of the millenium - Inquisitorial henchmen. A few of those I own in my own Witch Hunters collection, some of them I never worked with before. Either way, it was great painting them (again).

Hope you like them!

Showcase: Iyanden Fire Dragons

 

Heyhey, here's a bunch of lovely Aeldari aspect warriors,and their phoenix lord as well! All figures prior to the release of the latest plastics. Fuegan is the OG one, the rest of the figures are 4th edition I think, right? 

Lovely figures, because they're Aeldari. GW liked them too; it landed me a community spotlight thing in a livestream of theirs. 

Hope you like them!

Showcase: Karazai the Scarred

 

Heyhey, what's nicer than a big dragon? BIG RED DRAGON.

Showcase: Napoleonic Spanish Hussars

 

Heyhey, here's some Napoleonics again! And Spanish at that! And hussars at that! So everybody should be pleased. At least I am.

Showcase: Battlemechs!

 

Here are some figures from my own collection (ie painted for myself) for a change. For the past few months, Battletech (classic and Alpha Strike) have been a big thing in our gaming group and beyond in the area.

So I got the Battletech box. And played a bunch of games. And now, that we're embarking on our Aces campaign, it was time I finally got my starter box 'mechs painted! It was a quick affair, the colour scheme monstly determined by trying to avoid colour schemes other players in the area used already. The warning stripes to determine the front edge of the base is something I nicked from other Battlemechs I painted as a commission a while ago. 

Hope you like them!
