Happy Halloween!

Show report: VIVAT 2014

comment: By "Tabletop" German speaking peeps usually mean "miniature wargaming". 

I'm back from VIVAT and brought a bunch of pictures!

Showcase: Flames of War Soviet Army Reinforcements - Army Pictures

And now for the crowning moment - army shots!

Review: 15mm Josef Stalin (IS-2) tanks by Plastic Soldier Company

Today I will take a look at one of this year's big releases from the Plastic Soldier Company, the heavy IS-2. (IS of course standing for Josef Stalin). As you probably noticed I currently work on a bunch of additional tanks for a client's Flames of War force. Amongst them some of these tanks and I thought I would share my thoughts on this interesting little plastic kit.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Mercenary

Heya, here's another Freebooter's Fate mini for the Imperial Armada warband!

VIVAT 2014 - Austria's Historical Wargaming Event

This Saturday, October 18th 2014, the second VIVAT show will take place at Zinnfigurenwelt Katzelsdorf.

It's Austria's one and only event which is exclusively dedicated to historical wargaming and just like last year I'll attend and will run a painting workshop at the show.

So if you happen to be in the area, drop by! This gon' be good. :-)

Showcase: Flames of War Soviet Army Reinforcements - Assault

Two very characterful formations today with a certain in-your-face-ediness.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Empire figures

Just to break up all the drabness of World War Two - here are some Freebooter's Fate miniatures I recently did for a local client. If you are not familiar with Freebooter's Fate, it's a slightly Fantasy-ish pirate-themed small-scale (about six to eight figures a side) skirmish game. Very solid set of rules. Absolutely stunning miniatures and there is a lot more to come so stay tuned!

Showcase: Flames of War Soviet Army Reinforcements - Katyushas

Now for the reveal why I post all of last year's Flames of War stuff - they just got reinforcements! 

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Master Assassin

Another weirdo from the Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood range. ;) Weirdo but amazing model. I painted this one before a few years ago for another client and right from the get-go this model reminded me of Edgar Allen Poe's story Masque of the Red Death. And of House of Wax (the Vincent price one). 

All said, very, very evocative and cool miniature. Hope you like it too!

Showcase: Banzai Jones Vignette for Charity

A few weeks ago I did this piece for a charity project. I'm sure you remember my earlier post about Project Alchemy and my partaking in it.
