This is a short musing about what I was up to in the last days. I haven’t posted a lot in the last weeks as I have a lot to do in my daytime profession. Since Crisis at the beginning of November I haven’t done much in the hobby.
I started to paint up some units for my Warhammer 40000 Ork army but they are far from complete so no new pictures at the moment. Hope you stay tuned for the next update hopefully with some finished miniatures then!
I treated myself to the new Space Marine heroes range by games workshop. they were available, up to now, only in Japan . Since last weekend you can get them in Europe , too. As far as I know they are available worldwide now.
This is a complete box with twelve figures. The set is meant to be set up in a shop like this:
I bought the complete box from an online retailer here in Germany. There are 9 different figures so there will be duplicates in this box.
the individual figures are packed in their own boxes and you can’t tell which figure is inside. Lets hope every figure is in the box !
Here are the 12 figures I got and as you can see I got every figure of the nine different ones and 3 figures which were double. I am not sure if that is the case in every box or if I was just lucky. Now of to assemble and paint them as members of the Galactic Knights chapter brothers.
So back from Antwerp. A really nice weekend, spend with dear friends, at a wonderful miniatures show!
This is the end of the pictures I took . Good buy Antwerp and thank you Tin Soldiers of Antwerp for a grand show!
This coming Saturday is Crisis 2018 the biggest Europe Convention about wargaming . Second only to Salute, London. It is well worth going as all the major wargaming related manufacturers are attending .
This years free figure:
The floor plan:
More on the website of the Tinsoldiers Antwerp , the hosts of Crisis here.

Hope to see you there!
Here is trooper number 8 of 2nd Gruppe red Zug of the 1st Kompanie of the first Germania imperial guard regiment:
Another two to go. Next up will be a platoon of “Bär” self propelled howitzers wich I am building at the moment parallel to painting these figures.
here is the next trooper of the 2nd Gruppe 1st Germania imperial guard infantry regiment.
four more figures to do!
Here is the next trooper of my imperial guard regiment.
Again the head is from Anvil Industries the helmet from an Eisenkern trooper the rest is GW.
As you might remember I scratch build the “Ziege” APC for my imperial guard army.
As this vehicle is build to be modular I can use the running gear to accommodate other payloads. The next payload is a self propelled howitzer module. It is called “Bär” (bear) in this configuration. It will be used as a stand in for a Basilisk in Warhammer40K games.
Here you see the undercarriage with the completed howitzer payload fitted, turning the vehicle into the Bär.
Here are pictures of the single parts wich will be cast in resin later.
And here are pictures of the building process. The parts were again build from extruded polystyrene .
The howitzer payload was designed after the Bundeswehr Panzerhaubitze 2000 wich looks like this:
More pictures when I finish casting and painting it up.
here is the vox officer ( radio operator) of the 2nd Gruppe of my imperial guard regiment.
