Review: Leven Miniatures 6mm Buildings

A while ago at a wargames show in 2018 I had an interesting chat about 6mm buildings, and the name Leven Miniatures came up as the place to get your scenery from. So I gave it a shot.

A Very Stunty Christmas!

Just one little army shot today, because we're all extremely busy, aren't we. Well, I hope at this point we aren't any more. More detailed views of this army to follow over the next weeks. 

For now - Merry Christmas, and equivalent events to be celebrated 'round this time of year! Or just have a good time. Indulge, enjoy, play games.

Showcase: Gotrek and Felix

It's me it's me! It's Si-gu-r....ee. Today I'd like to show you some rather prominent figures of the Warhammer world - it's Gotrek Gurnisson and his pal Felix Jaeger.

Show Report: Late Fall 2019

This Saturday I drove to Germany and back, so I could attend Comitatus wargames club's Late Fall show.

Review: Mierce Miniatures' Ophios

Time for another miniature review, I say. Returning to Fantasy I'd like to talk about a miniature which is kinda close to my heart and use it to take a closer look at the offerings of Mierce Miniatures on the whole.

Showcase: A whole bunch of Space Orks

That's another batch of Goffs done and dusted, thus bringing Orktober to a late close.

Showcase: Space Orks Sluggaz

'More Slugga boyz, you say? Sure, I could do with those.' - every Goff warboss ever.

Showcase: Space Orks Tank Hunterz

Buncha Tank Hunterz! Again, Goffs, again, for that big army I've been working on.

Showcase: Space Orks Kommandoz

Buncha Kommandoz for Orktober! These are for the Goff army I've been working on in several batches since late 2017.

Show Report: VIVAT 2019!

Where were you on Saturday, 12th October? I once more packed up all the things and paid illustrious Perchtoldsdorf a visit for VIVAT 2019.

Showcase: Nova Aetas Pt. 6

Here we got the mandatory scenic shots of the whole Nova Aetas collection!

Showcase. Nova Aetas Pt.5

Here we got two big monsters also included in the game: It's the odd couple - dragon and manticore!

Showcase: Nova Aetas Pt.4

Here are our four heroes of the game!

Showcase: Nova Aetas Pt.3

Bon giorno, here's the warband of the Republic of Venice.

Showcase: Nova Aetas Pt.2

Right, here's part two of the Nova Aetas series. Today we'll look at the Vatican's warband, including the Pontifex Maximus in full armour. Why? Because he Vati-Can!

Showcase: Nova Aetas Pt.1

Nova Aetas is a fully co-operative board wargame set in a fantasy Version of 16th century Italy.

Review: Chasseurs á Cheval 1808 - 1815

Hey, look at this! It's a miniatures review. It's been a while since I've done one of these. Recently a box of the new-ish plastic Chasseurs á Cheval by Perry Miniatures came into my possession. Good enough a reason to review them!

Showcase: Infinity Army Shots

To top it all off, here's a full shot of both armies from the Operation Icestorm box (plus CSU).

Showcase: Infinity PanO Army

Here's the rest of the PanO team! These are all from the Operation Icestorm box, plus the TO Cutter TAG we've seen on the last post.

Showcase: Pirates of the Dread Sea Wave #2 and Kickstarter

Heyhey, today I'd like to show you the upcoming releases for Pirates of the Dread Sea: The undead warband and the human crew. Both (including the Pirates of the Dread Sea skirmish rules) are currently up on Kickstarter, so don't hesitate and back this project if you want the minis and the rules!

Showcase: Infinity PanOceania TO Cutter

This one's not from the Operation Icestorm box, but an individual addition. It's a mighty and pretty TAG, a TO Cutter.

Showcase: Infinity Corporate Security Unit

This is Operation Icestorm's 'bonus figure' to the box. It's a CSU, a Corporate Security Unit. Which is basically a really well dressed bodyguard for business types.

Showcase: Infinity Nomads

The next few articles will be about a collection of Infinity figures I painted a while ago, but for some reason haven't posted so far.  Let's start with the Nomads, because I like Nomads.

Showcase: Austrian Napoleonic Limber

To round off the little series on Austrian Napoleonics we're taking a look at a Limber and artillery train drivers.

Showcase: Austrian Napoleonic Hussars

Keeping with the unbased Napoleonic Austrian theme, here are Hussars of Hussars Regiment No.1 "Kaiser Franz".

Showcase: Austrian Napoleonic Infantry

Today I would like to show you some Austrian Napoleonic infantry I just painted. Hungarian infantry, infantry regiment no.32, to be precise

Showcase: Guildball Special Edition Esters

Let's hop back to good old Guild Ball again for a change.

Showcase: 6mm Great Northern War Army Shots

Time for some nice army shots. Because this is where 6mm figures really shine.

Showcase: 6mm Great Northern War Saxons

 Up to now the collection of 6mm Great Northern War figures I painted lacked one of the big players in the war - the Saxons.

Showcase: 6mm Great Northern War Swedes and Baggage

Now for the Swedes, for whom of course I already painted quite a sizeable force. This time it's the man himself, Charles XII., more cavalry in the characteristic wedge formation, and more infantry, wearing the also characteristic Karpus hats.

Showcase: 6mm Great Northern War Russians

Right, on to the troops. First, some reinforcements for the Russians, in the shape of Grenadiers and Streltsy.

The Russian army of Peter the Great had Grenadiers form their own separate Battalions. And if you have some time, read up about the Streltsy. Fascinating stuff. Each time I glance over Russian history a little I realize how much I don't know. It's embarassing really. There's so much interesting stuff to know.

Anyway, hope you like the minis. Stay tuned for more over the next days!

Showcase: Tiny Little Greats

Say hello to my little friends.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Figures

Back to Freebooter's Fate! Here are some more Brotherhood figures.

Showcase: British Camel Corps

Now for something different - here we got mounted 1st Grenadier Guards, Guards Camel Regiment for the Gordon Relief expedition. 

Showcase: Freeboooter's Fate Plague Doctor

Just another one-off for Freebooter's Fate's Brotherhood faction. 

Showcase: Pirates of the Dread Sea Scenic Shots

After the figures were done I thought I'd do some scenic shots to give them a 'frame'.

Showcase: Pirates of the Dread Sea

Here's something a bit different - the first Kickstarter wave of Pirates of the Dread Sea miniatures.

Showcase: Tabletop World Ruined Coaching Inn

A while ago I was given a huge box and a 'paint this prettily' order. So I got to it.

Showcase: Let's go Camping!

Breaking up the Infinity theme for a bit with some terrain items I quickly painted up for display stuff and games.

WIP: Infinity Haqqislam Reinforcements

One of the main reasons why I posted the army/armies shot a few days ago is that I'm currently working on reinforcements for the Haqqislam and Yu Jing (more on these guys later) armies from that shot.

Here's a WIP shot of the new Haqqislam figures, with lots of stuff around them to distract from the unfinished state. ;-) These should be done in a few days, so stay tuned!

Showcase: Infinity Army/Armies Shot

Here's a snazzy little army shot of some Infinity figures I did last fall. In fact it's an "armies" shot due to the Infinity nomenclature in which each combat team is called an army. So we got a bunch of Haqqislam dudes and dudettes in the left, Yu Jing in the centre (the shiny yellow armour was a bit of an experiment. Could be done better, but I'm rather satisfied with the results, and in the far right we got a PanOceania army, all in shiny dark blue armour, because I'm just a sucker for shiny dark blue on sci-fi/cyberpunk things.

Hope you like the shot, and stay tuned for more Infinity figures in the not-so-distant future!

Show Report: Tabletop Knights Games Day 2019

Saturday, April 13th saw the 2019 installment of Tabletop Knights' Games Day! And I was there to tell the tale...

Show Report: Austrian Salute 2019

It's that time of the year again! Early/mid-March means it's time for Austrian Salute!

Showcase: By Fire and Sword Army Shots

Time to wrap this up with some nice army shot of the whole mid-17th century Imperial force.

Showcase: 17th century Nasties

Finally rounding off the Imperial army project on a more sombre note, with a bunch of casualty markers and some battlefield nasties after the jump.

Showcase: Imperial Reiters and Dragoons

Proceeding with the 15mm Imperial force for By Fire and Sword, here we got some regular and 'not really' cavalry.

Showcase: Imperial Infantry and Artillery

Here's even more Imperial infantry. Just a few pikemen in the back and in the middle you can see 'new style' musketeers, with lighter muskets, paper cartidges and all of that fancy stuff.
