Bruder Johann Space Marine of the Galactic Knights

Here is the next Space Marine of the 2nd Gefechtskompanie 3rd Gruppe, Bruder Johann. This is the first beaky marine i did for the Galactic Knights. I will do a few more in older armor as it is the habit of the ordo teutonicus ,aka the Galactic Knights, to pass on old armor to new marines . So there will be ,eventually, all kinds of tactical and terminator armor in the chapter.

“Wughaz Ironsnaggahs Killaboyz”

When I went to Crisis 2017 I came across the company Macrocosm and their Scifi range. They do quite nice space Orks , a bit like the 80th stuff from GW/Citadel. They are a bit bigger then the GW plastic Orks , but they can be used together. I liked them a lot so that I bought some. Now I started building and painting them up . So here is the first of Wughaz Ironsnaggahs Killaboyz: His name is Uzmogg

I hope you like him. There will be nine more Figures in this unit including a weird boy and Kapitan Ironsnaggah himself .

The Salute 2018 Photoreport

So another Salute is gone by and I took a lot of photos like every year. The show was like the years before very well organized and despite the mass of people there wasn’t a very  long delay to get in. The games were very well presented and the selection of traders was outstanding. But there is one point I have to criticize , the lighting . When you got into the  Salute venue it was very dark. So dark that it was sometimes difficult to take decent pictures ( as you sadly will se below). There could be more light and in the venue next door ( a wedding convention ) it was very different , much more light !

But without further ado here are the pictures:

A blood and plunder game:

 

Here you can see how dark it was:

I thoroughly enjoyed the show and am already looking forward to next year ! Thanks Warlords for a splendid show and remember maybe next year the lighting could be better?!

Roll on Crisis Antwerp 2018!

 

 

Lead Adventure Forum figure

“Hi Everyone.
When the Prof passed LAF to me, one of my first thoughts was to do a special miniature that would only be available to members.

I work with Mark Copplestone, one of this forums favourite designers, so I spoke to him about it and he was keen to do it. We thought something with a Pulp theme would suit LAF, and so we are proud to present the International Adventurer!

 

Cheers
Nick Eyre of Northstar Miniatures”

As a member of the LAF forum I got myself the miniature too. In truth I got more then one 😉 I converted one of the figures to be useable in a Scifi setting ( e.g. Warhammer40000) the other was left as it was .  Have a look for the greenstuff and bits conversion here.

The SCIFI figure will be used as a leader of a renegade unit in the Warhammer 40000 universe.
