Hi all,

I want to thank you all for reading through this blog in the last couple of months and I will of course continue this in 2013.

At this stage I want to wish all of you a happy and peaceful christmas, lots of joy and a fantastic start into 2013 !

Cheers

More sexappeal on the table ?

After taking a look at the new 40k Dark Vengeance Box I consider there is a lack of females on the board.

So its time for some substitutes and additions to the upcoming army. As being male I and well beyong the age of 13 I consider going along to some changes and additions:

I think about replacing the two cultist leaders with these two models:

Dark Vengeance Limited Edition Box arrived

After some time waiting it finally is at my place. The limited edition box set for Warhammer 40k - Dark Vengeance and I am looking forward to unbox it tomorrow.

The last box I opened was the Island of Blood set which caught my attention some time back.

So lets see what we will have here and how everything will look like when the box is open.

A matter of colour

Hi all,

as I will publish some painting guides in the future on this blog I want to give a short help on everyone not using Vallejo Colours or simply use some different acrylic paints for their models which are not GW

On a webpage I found a really great comparison chart on the different brands (e.g. GW Citadel old, GW Citadel new, Vallejo, P3, etc...) which should help you a bit on my painting style or the colours I am using.

I own two different brands at present:
GW Citadel old (and a few new ones)
but mostly Vallejo colours.

Why using Vallejo ?

GW seems a bit too expensive all the time with one pot around 2,50 Euro to 3,50 Euro. Vallejo is a bit cheaper on that with approx 2,00 to 2,50 Euro and I simply like the small pots. So dont be afraid if you are not into Vallejo... use the comparison chart for the upcoming sessions and substitute into colours you have at your place.

Happy painting (hei, thats somehow new after all those "Happy building").

And here we go with the link for the comparison table:

Chaos Shrine (Terrain / Tutorial)

As being a bit eager to get my "Dark Vengeance" Box from Games Workshop I already did some hopefully fitting terrain piece for the gaming table.

This is the actual project.. a shrine to the evil eye supposed to be used with Warhammer 40K.
Things used: old Styrofoam from the TV set, cardboard,ash from the last bbq, Styrofoam glue , Styrofoam coating (white), Acryl colors "Lakritz", two different grey shades
purple , two different red , light blue and white
As this is my first project and first piece of terrain I would be grateful for any hints and suggestions.
What happened by now:
Cut the Storyfoam into desired pieces with cuttings etc. ,Cut out the eye as well as the two stripes (going up and down) ,Glued all things to a cut piece of Styrofoam, Undercoated it with Styrofoam coating,Painted the whole stuff black and let it dry,
Drybrushed with the two grey colours,Drybrushed with watered ash from the last bbq
Painted the eye and stripes purple, drybrushed in two different shades of red
Painted white and blue.
Thats what happened by now..

First post

After quite some many thoughts I finally got my hands on the limited Edition of Dark Vengeance from Games Workshop.

As I am also hosting a Flames of War and a 28mm Napoleonic Blog, I will seperate the stuff here to have a bit more overview on what happens around.

The box is to be delivered to my homeplace in the near future and so lets see what happens.
