Well Ginger,

you missed two:

(Saga battle report, Normans vs. Varangian Guard)

(http://dhcwargamesblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/vangarians-annihilate-norman-knights.jpg?w=516&h=349)

And another two battalions of French infantry:

(http://dhcwargamesblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/generic-french-regiment-three-battalion-shot.jpg?w=516&h=222)

Oh and then there is the annual picture report from Crisis (but I only posted that a couple of minutes ago).

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2013/11/03/crisis-antwerp-2013-picture-report/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2013/11/03/crisis-antwerp-2013-picture-report/)

As usual is it very picture heavy and all pictures are linked to larger version.

Hope you will enjoy it!

Thank you old chap its a good blog which is why I follow it and its only me being half asleep at a godless hour of the morning which causes me to miss such good stuff.

 >:DGinger

No worries Ginger, I was just pulling your leg! I am really happy with you posting the news here since it keeps people informed, who might otherwise miss.

Thanks a lot,

Burkhard

A pleasure old chap & I look forward to seeing you Crisis report as much as I dread Sid's mostly because it will likely be full of pictures of Scottish lardies knees some of them in fish nets allegedly - shudder.

SS WWII

well done as you would expect and some of the camouflage patterns are distinctly unpleasant to paint in my experience, and take a lot of skill and effort to get looking right, but not generally a force I would run

If you want, I can keep this topic updated myself, if you need  +:help=+::help:!

If you just keep putting new stuff up on your blog I will be more than happy, thank you very much for the offer, I may be well beyond  +:help=+::help: and you are always mope than welcome to post here

Will do then! Just did not want to steel your thunder! ;-)

nor me yours old chap - however I may get a bit behind as I have a massive amount of commission terrain for dystopian wars  to build and I am only posting this because every flat surface in my work room is covered with drying bits of it. not to mention the vegetable trays of work in progress stuff.

 >:DGinger

Just posted a lot of shots of my recently painted British guns and mortars on my blog:

All are 28mm and either vintage Bolt Action, Warlord Games or Artizan Miniatures.

Enjoy,

(http://dhcwargamesblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/para-6pdr-wg.jpg?w=516&h=307)

Very cool the original figures done for the precursor to Bolt Action, Rules of engagement are rather nice even more so when painted up as well as those.


 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger.

Right now we are playing with "The Face of Battle" rules. But we are looking at the Battlegroup series.

I would also strongly recommend the Chain of Command rules from the TwofatLardiies and the at the Sharp End Campaign supplement

 >:DGinger.

We have looked at CoC, but their set up mechanic does not allow us to play prepared scenarios from books like SkirmishCampaigns (which we love) and that the rules do not really work without it. :-[

I am sure you can there was some talk on the lardie forum about it as I recall. I have not had the chance to try this out for myself as I have distinctly limited opportunities to wargame thought I have played a couple of solos and one on rolld20

 >:DGinger

Let's see! I once asked if it was possible to do without this activation on TMP or another forum and poeple (IIRC even one of the Lardies) indicated that this would not work.  ???

Just posted pictures of my finished M5 halftracks for my WWII Brits, this time from the Guards AD:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/wwii-british-m5-half-tracks-analogue-hobbies-painting-challenge-entry-13/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/wwii-british-m5-half-tracks-analogue-hobbies-painting-challenge-entry-13/)

Vehicles are by Warlord Games, passengers (only for one halftrack so far) by Victory Force Miniatures.

Yes, these are 28mm not 15mm! :-D

All models are Tamiya, with one from Hobby Boss. Crews are by Warlord Games.

Thanks Ginger. Definitely need to do more of those fences, but since I am not entering the terrain building in phase of this year, this should not be a problem!  +:beer=+::beer:

(Sorry, the small pictures do not live up to it, but they pictures on the blogpost are clickable and will lead to full screen versions!)

Any thing posted here was only ever intended by way of a teaser to get people to look at the main blog to do any more would be rather to steal the original blogs thunder.

 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger! Great you see it this way, because I always feel that if I go through all the efforts of having a blog, it is always nice for people to actually go there on not just read the headlines in the news! ;-)

Anyway... there are some other news:

Just posted pictures of my finished 28mm river boards on my blog:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/04/09/new-river-boards/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/04/09/new-river-boards/)

All boards are 50cm x 50cm and designed to be arranged on a modular basis.

Enjoy,

Burkhard

P.S.: here is the usual pre-view (as always more clickable pictures on the blog itself):

(http://dhcwargamesblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/kc3b6nigstiger-on-the-large-bridge.jpg?w=645&h=330)

(http://dhcwargamesblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/riverboards.jpg?w=645&h=335)

Very impressive even if I would hate to have to fight across it as shown in the picture.

Having been bloging myself again lately about role playing shamefully I know what you mean knowing you have an audience can be really good for the morale & make all the single combat with Bloger layout worth it.

 >:DGinger

Well, I am pretty sure none will ever have to fight over it as shown here!  ;D

Blogging is a nice thing, but I inly find it worthwhile, if there actually is some feedback (of any kind). Otherwise it can really drain you!

Having popped over to the blog to check out the larger pictures of the River Boards and the Hussars I have to say I am impressed with the detail work.

I have never really tackled any model painting or set design, aside from the models for my RoboRally Game that EvilGinger had to effect some repairs and varnish. That said I can certainly appreciate the work of others and these are some excellent examples so I would dough my Hat (if I was wearing one) to you Sir, Well Done.

I have never tried the historical wargaming but I always get drawn to the tables at events like B&P and others as the detail that goes into the scenery is jaw dropping.

Thankyou for sharing a portion of your work here, please be assured I try and read everything posted here and I do find these posts interesting.

Thank you Zarniwoop, really appreciated!

There are so many aspects to this hobby and I think none of them are humble (and I personally think there are many possibilities in RoboRally!).

I am glad if work like mine can draw a few people deeper into the hobby! And i have to say the quality of the hobby is getting better by the day. Which is why I am probably redoing stuff (like the river) where I was happy with the layout a few years ago, because I see people doing better and I find myself thinking, that I want the same.  ::)

If you find the chance, go any pop in at the earliest post here. I think there is more than two years worth of posts before that.

Thanks again,

Burkhard

I just put some pictures (along with my thoughts behind them) of my first two test pieces for my 28mm inner city ruins on my blog:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/04/14/wwii-inner-city-terrain-part-1/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/04/14/wwii-inner-city-terrain-part-1/)

While meant for WWII, this should work for anything up to moderns or the more steampunk SciFi settings as well, as long as one can ignore the contemporary slogans and such.

The buildings are from Commision Figurines and the minis from Victory Force and Bolt Action (shown for scale).

Enjoy,

Burkhard

P.S.: Here is the usual pre-view. As usual there are many more clickable pictures on the blog.

Very nice indeed and also nice that poor Zarni is cracking under the bombardment of cool wargames pictures  ;)

Most of the scenary he has seen is mine so not in quite the same league though he did pop into the first of the two Beer and Lard events and see Sid Roundwood of Roundwoods world's WWI trenches which are in the same league.

I will be posting more wargames stuff just as soon as I catch up but the harder I try at the moment the more needs to be done right now this minute.

 >:DGinger

I will do my best to draw him to the dark side!

And I am humbled that you even suggest I might be in a league close to Sidney Roundwood!  +:beer=+::beer:

So I am continuing my quest to build up my Bauhaus forces for Warzone Resurrection. This time it is Vulkan suits:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/category/sci-fi/warzone-resurrection/bauhaus/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/category/sci-fi/warzone-resurrection/bauhaus/)

Up next are some Armoured Hussars.

Enjoy,

As indicated in yesterdays post, just posted some pictures, background and painting notes on my Armored Hussars, for Warzone Resurrection:

So before I go into my painting hiatus for most of May, here are my Vorreiter for Warzone Resurrection:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/04/27/bauhaus-vorreiter/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/04/27/bauhaus-vorreiter/)

I used them as a testbed for the hairspray technique, so I do not have to try it out on some WWII models for real.

Enjoy,

Burkhard

And as always... a pre-view (more clickable pictures on the blog itself):

(http://dhcwargamesblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/bauhaus-vorrreiter-nco.jpg?w=645&h=420)

Lovely stuff - but Hairspray technique sounds rather intriguing to me do tell more.

 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger!

I will just copy the text I wrote on another forum (if you do not mind):

It is a technique meant to depict paint jobs or or whitewashes that are wearing off, leaving the underlying scheme or base coat to show through. Essentially, you paint your model in the colour you want to show through in the end and then give it a coat of gloss varnish (to create a smooth surface to work on). Then you apply the hairspray and once dry (it is best to leave a couple of hours between he steps) airbrush the colour you want chipped off to over the hairspray. It is important to use an airbrush, since you need a virtually dry application. If you brush it on, the paint and hairspray will mix and the next step will not work anymore. Afterwards you use a brush with stiff bristles which you dabbed in warm water (best to remove some water from the brush so it is not completely soaked) to rub over the model where you want the paint to rub off. Once that is done, you can do the normal painting, weathering detailing an so on.

Interesting even if my lack of an air brush prevents me form trying it out

 >:DGinger

Well, it would work with paint from spray cans as well. I have heard people have achieved good results by applying dry-brush like coats of paint over the hairspray, but they all did not post photos, so no idea if it really works!

may have to try the last suggestion out, if I get the chance that is.

 >:DGinger

Just posted a AAR of our latest game of Battlegroup Overlord (500pts. Wehrmacht vs. US armored Infantry) on my blog:

So after the more than a month hiatus on my blog (except for the Liebster Award), I am back with an AAR.

We played “Purple Heart Hill” from the SkirmishCampaigns book “Normandy ´44 – Heroes of Omaha and Panzer Lehr” book using the Battlegroup Overlord rules.

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/06/10/two-games-of-battlegroup-normandy-part-1/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/06/10/two-games-of-battlegroup-normandy-part-1/)

We had another game this weekend and I will try to post a report tomorrow.

Enjoy,

Burkhard
(http://dhcwargamesblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/mg-42-team-in-the-orchard.jpg?w=645&h=415)

As promised yesterday, here is the second game set in the wider scope of D-Day this weekend and here is the report:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/06/11/two-games-of-battlegroup-normandy-part-2/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/06/11/two-games-of-battlegroup-normandy-part-2/)

This time it is not based o a historical encounter but fictional. And the camera was working a little better, so the photos are marginally better as well!

Oh it sure was! And some great inspiration of Roman minis, too! ;-)

Just posted some photos of my first two Meka suits for Mishima on my blog:

Just posted some pictures of the terrain i did last week. Some unkept hedges that could possible be used as simple Bocage as well:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/07/03/hedges-and-roads/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/07/03/hedges-and-roads/)

Hinges on the gates are actually working. Need to do some more in coming months, but I used up far less foliage clumps than expected, so there is room for much more!

 >:DGinger

Thanks and no problem. After all you commented other places, too!

I played my first game of Warzone, Resurrection today. Here is the short AAR of the slaughter... er game.

I do like the new warzone stuff just never seen any in the flesh as it where Spirit Games Still have some of the old stuff the last in captivity I am sure

 >:DGinger

It is very nice (especially the stuff that was rendered late during the Kickstarter and the post KS stuff since you can see their learning curve). I really liked some of the 2nd Ed. mini, unfortunately those would not mix too well since these are much more anatomically correct. Which is why I like them!

Just posted pictures of my Venusian Rangers for WZR... finished in the nick of time for todays game:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/warzone-resurrection-bauhaus-venusian-rangers/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/warzone-resurrection-bauhaus-venusian-rangers/)

They just need some high gloss varnish on the lenses and the viewports on the helmets otherwise they are done.

Very nice stuff - and the Warzone battle report was also a good read if a little one sided since it is apparent that the game hates you for some reason as both the reports have you losing horribly I notice. Well better luck next time I am rooting for you even if my faction of choose would be Imperial - my favourite of the old Warzone range

 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger!

Regarding Warzone... well at least I got win... against Bauhaus that time. I am starting to get the sinking feeling that Bauhaus simply do not have enough units that are beyond solid to crack the other factions. :-(

I thought you where Bauhaus again -  :-[ well done then and you might be right given the pasting they took in both games

 >:DGinger

Well I was... the other guys was playing Bauhaus, too!  +:coffee=+::coffee:

Anyway... the latest additions to my Bauhaus force are now on my blog... Valerie Duval, Angelica Drachen (converted to a proper pelisse) and some booby traps for my Venusian Rangers:

very nice figures and I love both the minor conversion and the ground work fits in well with you winter theme without being over the top

 >:DGinger

Thank you Ginger!

I guess I am really getting the winter basing by now.

To add to my ever growing Bauhaus force for Warzone Resurrection, here are some more Vulkan Battlesuits in close combat configuration:

wow 8) very impressive indeed but then again I have always liked walkers as models and those are really nice models particularly well painted and presented - very cool getting tempted to get some myself. I just need the time to do them justice & I don't have that


 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger!

When I first un boxed them in December I was unimpressed' but I have to say they have really grown on me and I agree that these are very fine walkers! Prodos have already replaced these with a new version, which I think is a shame, since these are really nice!

Cheers,

Burkhard

And the latest addition to my Bauhaus forces (I promise to give you some respite for a couple of days)... the Grizzly tank:

A lovely conversion especially good if you know just how hard it is to get a model posed like that balanced - great stuff

 >:DGinmger

Thanks Ginger.

Yes it was a bit of a challenge to get the pose right, but in this case, once I had dry fitted it and seen that it was possible, it all went smoothly.

OK, I finished my last minis for Bauhaus last night... tow squads of Etoiles Mortant, another squad of Hussars and extra Hussars for the existing squads:

The blog post also includes a post to the gallery, which will showcase all models together. 63 Infantry and 11 vehicles in total!

Enjoy! Burkhard

Really impressive old chap

 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger!

I keep wanting to get back into wargaming but I look at my lead and plastic pile of loved but half painted stuff and reflect that I would need a ten day week and a heavy doses of amphetamines   +:coffee=+::coffee: to clear that and have time to play with any of it and have to resist  +:bandhead=+::banghead:. Its still lovely to see that some one has the time to and makes such a good job of it.

I do get a bit jealous though I have to say  

 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger, but do be jealous. It comes at a very high price this year. I have been unemployed since January and there is no new job in sight. I have the big problem of having a university degree that is one of the two most highly qualified degrees here in Germany, but is useless outside Germany, of working in a field where there are ten times as many people on the job market as jobs and with six years work experience being told that I have too much experience for the beginner jobs and too little for the experienced jobs. I have also looked for jobs in the UK just based on the fact that I speak both English and German on a high level, but the only one you find are call centre jobs or hotel concierge.  :-[

Sorry to hear about the job situation and I hope it resolves in a good way soon, however in the mean time please keep up the lovely painting as if I don't get the chance myself at the moment its good to look at such lovely pieces of work.

Having had experience of UK IT call centres  I would personally consider working in them as less preferable to taking part in a full size live fire reenactment of Verdun on either side as they are horrific & you don't get to shoot any one for stress relief.


Take care & good job hunting

 >:DGinger

Have bitten the bullet and bought some Imperial Stuff which is winging its way to me and I am now working out how to play it against you using something like Roll20 as a VTT. I also hope to get my local games shop to stock it.

 >:DGinger

Welll Ginger... glad to have drawn you in!  >:D

Imperial is a good choice (I actually have one mini on my painting table right now). Great minis and great rules, too. Did you download the rules and Imperial PDFs?

Would be interesting to play Warzone online, although with all the card and the like, I am not sure it ould be 100% workable?

Where are you exactly? You could also try their forum http://forum.prodosgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=41&sid=8ed2790549d29237b04082334608a376&start=140 (http://forum.prodosgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=41&sid=8ed2790549d29237b04082334608a376&start=140) or their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/357812617583537/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/357812617583537/) to find someone in your region.

Alternatively, contact Rob Alderman... he is always happy for pointers to shops that have dropped beneath their radar!

well I am in Burton on Trent just up the road from Spirit games and  I have the version one PDF which I am reading thought not having the rules it doesn't mean all that much. Cards can be done wit Roll 20 quite easily particularly as I have a paid roll20 account. I am playing with building decks for various Lardie games I like which use card driven activations.

I will post pictures of my poor efforts at painting Imperials when I get the chance & they make it through the post.

 >:DGinger

Hi ginger,

I have just shot you an eMail with the current version of the rules, FAQ and Imperial sourcebook... that should help!

If I notice someone in your neck of the woods, I will give you a shout!

Plus I am looking forward your minis.

I finished my first Trencher yesterday (not on my blog yet, so I am using the photos off Facebook):

Really like those Imperial minis. I think they will be a joy to paint for both of us!

Cheers,

Burkhard

Likely won't be half as good as yours especially with their cool bases

 >:DGinger

amongst every thing else which I am doing I am reading through the rules downloads you sent me and I am rather liking the game as I read it much more to it than it looks and building you own hero is a massive plus to an dyed in the wool role playing addict like me

 >:DGinger

I think it is a great system and you should like it!

They have revised the custom heroes rule. It is still a Beta but they advise players to use that instead of the version in the main rules. I will send you that file as well!

Hi there,

so here are the latest minis painted for Warzone Resurrection, an Imperial Trencher Officer with Banner (inspired be the Scotish Referendum) and for the Dark Legion Valpurgius:

Finally got to publish the report of our Warzone Resurrection game from 10 days ago:

And now it s time again for another AAR:

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/09/25/9707/ (http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/09/25/9707/)

As the title says, a game of Bauhaus vs. Dark Legion set in the Warzone Resurrection universe.

Enjoy,

Burkhard

After the proliferation of SciFi posts lately, here is some historical fare once more. 28mm buildings for Normandy:

We played a big 4 player game of Warzone last Friday (Bauhaus, Brotherhood, Dark Legion and Mishima / 1000 points each). Here is the AAR:

So now the quest to paint my second for for Warzone Resurrection begins in earnest. This time it is some Brotherhood Guardiani Oblati to serve as bodyguards for an Imperial Warlord.

I am always blown away by the time and patience that a lot of gamers have to produce such quality figures as well as the scenery to go with it.

I wish I had the time or the skills to devote to such projects but at least with your updates I get to appreciate the efforts of others. You do some fantastic work sir and long may you continue to do so. I'm sure the groups you game with get as much enjoyment out of your work as you do.

May I also thank you for continuing to post your highlights here, even though you have your own blog which I am sure also takes quite a bit of personal effort to maintain.

Cheers

I can do it but I just have this total lack of time thing I need to retire for a bit to catch up

Bravo and Keep up the good work old chap.

 >:DGinger

Thank you guys! Really appreciated!

At time I wish I had less time to devote to it this year. Right now i only find the time since I am unemployed, so it is a big price to pay for the time! But on the other hand, comments like these really help to keep my spirits up! So thanks a lot!!!

So, finally some more WWII models from me. This time it is two Panzerwerfer 42 models from Warlord Games, both with the option to have them in driving and firing mode:

So, I just uploaded pictures from our Battlegroup Overlord demo at Crisis in Antwerp this year:

Game was played in 28mm, with minis and vehicles from various manufacturers!

Hope you enjoy it,

Just uploaded some pictures of the Honey troop I finished late last month:

OK, I know I officially called my Bauhaus troops finished (for the foreseeable future) a couple of weeks ago, but I simply could not resist the new Marschall and Rangers!

Brilliant stuff & given how nice the figures are I can see why you gave way the Marshall would make a fine warlord I think

 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger!

I used him as a Kaptain this weekend. Not sure if he really provided his points worth, but the Hussars he was leading had to spend most of the time fighting two Necrobeasts, which did not realy suit them in the first place! Otherwise I think he would have done well!

After battling with a bad cold for most of the week, I finally got the battle report of the game I played  last weekend (Dark Legion vs. Bauhaus):

 >:DGinger

Thanks Ginger!

First of all sorry for the rather unspecific title, but, there is simply too much different stuff to put into one topic line!

Just a short heads up, that I have made a massive update to the For Sale subsection of this blog.

http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/for-sale/

As usual everything is 25mm to 28mm. There has been a huge update to the terrain section, as well as miniatures.

This includes:
Complete collections for WWI Germans and Brits (including tanks)
Medival English and Scots (eBob)
Vast amounts of ACW minis
WWII minis and tanks
Ancients (Celts, Parthians)
Wargods of Ægyptus and Olympus
Vintage Mechwarrior
Warhammer Tau
VOR: The Maelstrom
assorted fantasy and SciFi
lots of Hirst Arts molds

So I hope there is something for everyone!

And two more things... I know it is close to X-Mas. So for some this might be a great opportunity to get some gifts, for others the might just be the wrong time. If you fall into the later category, let me know and I will reserve you the stuff you want till January or in some cases February. Please just note... for reserved items over a value of 100 Euro total I reserve the right to ask for a non-refundable 10% deposit if I do not know you personally or have never dealt with you before.

Also... I am thinking about selling my painted ACW collection and my Warhammer 40K Tau. I just simply was not in the mood to take photos today. If you are interested, drop me a line and we can arrange something!

Sad you are selling this stuff but some one is going to get both a treat & a bargain as they are some of the nicest paint jobs I have seen

 >:DGinger

Generally I think people are getting good deals (maybe too good judging by how fast some things sell  :D). Not too much painted stuff in there. That should come when I try to sell the Tau and ACW stuff next year. Right now it is mostly the projects I bought for but never started.  >:D

I have those but I still harbour the delusion that I will actually get them done myself.

 >:DGinger

More the lack of Money due to being unemployed this year brought about the much needed Reality Check for me!  :D

So with the end of the year drawing near, this is probably going to be my last post before Christmas... a little vignette of Tribune Maximus (1st Corps) and Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Warlord Games):

https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/17/maximus-and-marcus-aurelius/ (https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/17/maximus-and-marcus-aurelius/)

So here we are... the last painted minis from me for this year:

So to finally kick the new year off, here is the first mayor batch I painted this year... Imperial Trenchers for Warzone Resurrection:

https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/20/imperial-trenchers-5th-ahpc-1st-entry/ (https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/20/imperial-trenchers-5th-ahpc-1st-entry/)

This includes four five-men squads, two officers, SGT. Benjamin Taylor and Brigadier Paul Rist.

Enjoy,

Burkhard

And the usual pre-view (with lots more clickable pictures on the blog):

So for the 4th theme round on the AHPC (Myth) I dabbed my toe into Wargods again. Have not found the time to paint one of their minis in ages. Which is a shame, since they are really great! Anyway... here is the post:

https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/26/wards-of-olympus-minotaurus/ (https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/26/wards-of-olympus-minotaurus/)

These have been painted for almost two weeks now, but I only got around to post them now. So here are the latest additions to my Imperial Forces for Warzone: Resurrection... five Blood Berets with Heavy Chainrippers:

https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/warzone-resurrection-imperial-blood-berets-3rd-entry/ (https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/warzone-resurrection-imperial-blood-berets-3rd-entry/)

I have three more of these as well as seven in ranged combat configuration on my painting table right now, so keep your eyes peeled for more!

Enjoy,

Burkhard

The last few weeks I hardly got to post any thing here, so I want to pick it up now, with Tyrion Lannister from "The Songs of Ice and Fire" by Dark Sword Miniatures:

https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/tyrion-lannister/ (https://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/tyrion-lannister/)

So just something small today... a Russian T-55:

It is James Bond Die-cast model (although it is more plastic than metal) repainted.
