Hoi,
After painting some French WW1 marines I now have had time to finish the first of my Freebooters Fate mini;s, So hereby I present you an Imperial Armada trooper with musket. I tried to mimic the uniform as shown in the artwork, hope you like him.
More are in the works.
Cheers Sander

In the works...
Hoi,
There has been a lot of Dystopian Wars madness over here lately and while I understand that most of you people are more historically inclined, I like that game a lot. Fantasy and Sci-Fi have always been a big part of my gaming hobby ever since I started it. Now this does not mean that there are no historical projects in the works. Therefore I thought I'd tell you here what's going on over at the workbench.
* first up is another bunch of French Marines for the Crush the Kaiser project. When those are finished I will have 2/3rds of the work done.
* next are two Austrian artillery limbers and an unit of Austrian Cuirassiers for the 7YW.
* then I am building some jungle terrain, both for colonial and pirate games
* the last project I'm actually working on at this point is the Freebooters Fate starter set for the Imperial Armada.
You see I'm not yet lost to all things Dystopian War and still going strong in other erea's of the hobby.
Cheers Sander

Dystopian Wars Battle Part I
Hoi,
Yesterday Pijlie (JW) and I played 2 games of Dystopian Wars and now I'm well and truly hooked!
Not only because I won both games, but mainly because the gameplay is easygoing, far easier than the rulebook implies. These games were a first timer in many ways, they were the first games of 2012, they were my first DW games, they were also the first games little Arthur enjoyed ;-) and they were my first naval games.
JW used the Covenant of Antartica and was commodore of the Kingdom of Britannia.The terrain is all JW's home-made brew.
I won't bother you with the step by step report but go straight on to the pictures
These pictures are all of the first game, and all mine I do not have JW's pics yet and will post them together with pictures of the second game at a later date.
Cheers Sander

Avast me mates!
Hoi,
And just when you think my birthday is well and truly over, it isn't! I'm a bit late with this post but it has been mighty busy here, but last weekend I received a large package from my good ole mate AM. What did the box contain? I here you cry! Well just about everything you need to play Freebooters Fate. Yeah you heard that right everything! Let's make a list:
- the rulebook of course.
- a pack of cards needed to play (these are used instead of dice...yep I had to get used to that too)
- a Pirate crew starter box
- an Imperial crew starter box
Now there's two things I don't wanna think about: for starters the amount of money this present must have cost... as I said I'm not gonna think about it (whoops just did, didn't I?) and second the fact that I have carefully steered away from this game for sooo long because it was going to cost me if I got involved. I used to buy a Freebooter miniature at every DUZI and Crisis convention I'd attend since these are just amazing sculpts and I actually have two or three Freebooter's Fate mini's here but entering in the game was just too much temptation... now the die errm card is cast and there's no way out!And oh boy: they've just announced a gang of Amazons...I hate you AM!
A second present I ordered myself: I had got two coupons for the www.bol.com site. This site is a sort of European Amazon.com site and as such I mostly use it to order books and the like, but it also sells LEGO... now there's a new TIE-figther out and so I ordered that and now I can say it's brilliant and far better than the earlier incarnation.
Well then, later today JW (Pijlie) is coming over for a game of Dystopian Wars.

Birthday!
Hoi,
Well next to Saint Nick and Santa, my birthday has brought me even more Dystopian Wars stuff! I got:
- a dreadnought
- submarines
- another landship
- more buildings
* civilian buildings
* military buildings
* weapons platform
* factory buildings
oh and I also got the beginnings of my Prussian army:
- land fleet
- blimps
What I also like very much is that I got Simon Scarrows "Praetorian" and some Terry Pratchett audiobooks, guess what I'm listening?
greets Sander
