Happy Newyear!

Dear Everybody!

The Year's close to it's last hour and I'd like to thank everyone for checking up this blog from time to time and for your constructive criticism! Also I'd like to wish you all a good New Year's Eve fest and all the best for 2010.

To show some festive pictures I've chosen some taken from our house when the snow was lying 30 cms thick.


The back of our house:



Along the house we have a terras which also has a bird feeding stand and you can see from the amount of snow on it's roof just how thick the layer actually was.



The back of the garden looked like this:

Dwarfs ahoy!

Hoi Everybody!

The last week I have had some more Hobby time to paint and stuff. Since I am planning to play a large Warhammer Fantasy game with a couple of friends next week I started to work on the last 3 units of Dwarfs I still had lying around the place. Below are pictures of the unit of thunderers which I finished Sunday.






I still have a unit of 20 dwarf warriors and 15 Hammerers in cue whether I finish them in time? I hope so!

Cheers Sander

As Promissed!

Hi Folks!

As I promised, here are some pictures of new figures. For starters I have painted up some HäT Napoleonic Bavarians in 28mm scale. I was inspired by mister Mac Phee's work  here's how this turned out.

The green coats are from the 2nd Light Infantry Regiment. The others a more general Line Regiment.






Below are two pictures of the start of my British Colonial Army for use with the new Black Powder rules. At the moment I have two regular British Infantry regiments and two Indian Army Regiments. A Gatling gun and Gardner gun complement the lot. In the works are a large Highlander unit (the Gordons) Royal Navy troops, mounted Infantry, Camelry and more artillery pieces.

Hope you like them,

Cheers Sander

Eddie 15!

Hoi everybody!

Last Saturday I received a shipment of sets from the latest HäT releases. These batches of releases are called Eddie and then their release number in this case 15. See www.hat.com From this particular lot, I got the Australian Light Horse a much awaited set around the world and nicely done. Some WW1 Heavy weapons sets, some Austrian Napoleonic Artillery and several El Cid sets the latter I am specially looking forward to painting because they will be something different altogether.

No pictures at the moment but watch this space because I will post some soon!

Cheers Sander

Hope you like him!

Crisis 2009

Hoi People!

Last Saturday a Friend (Mark) and yours truly went to Crisis 2009 in Antwerp. After last years experience I just had to go again.

This link shows you a Picture report of some of the games on display.

As I had a somewhat bigger budget now I was able to get lots of goodies:

- Several boxes of 1:72 Plastics
- Metal SHQ Portuguese
- A Freebooter limited edition figure of a lovely flamingo dancer
- Some Battletech source-books
- A Limited edition figure set from Warlord Games featuring Macro and Cato the main characters from the Simon Scarrow novels about the Roman 2nd Legion.
- Some Resin terrain features

We had a great time thanks to the excellent work done by the Organisers!

Cheers Sander

I'm back!

Hoi Everyone!

For some time I have been absent from the blog but now I am back. I got married and bought a new house so you'll understand I had to use my time differently from the usual painting but now I have had some time to paint and here are the first results of that.

Below are pictures of my French Hussar Conversions, I still need to give them a coat of varnish and some grass flock:






Below you can see the new Zvezda French Lancers painted as the Chevaux Legere Lanciers de Berg




Hope you like them!

Cheers Sander
