News: Snotling Fling - Official Trailer

The crazy things people come up with, ever wanted to play Angry Birds in 3D? And shoot snotlings and goblin doomdivers instead? Well this is your kind of game. Looks like fun, but these kind of games (angry birds and the like) aren't my cup tea really. What do you think?

Miniature Monday: Space Marine with airbrushed Power Sword

Hey there, missed last Miniature Monday but now I have model to show you. It's actually an model I painted several years ago, but I wanted to try and do a power sword effect that you commonly see now days. You pretty much need to do this with an airbrush, so I wanted to try it out. In the same process I also updated the paint work on the rest of the model to better match how my Guardians of the Covenant looks now.

Took some hurriedly pictures of this guy so first photo the airbrushed power sword is in focus.

And on this one you get better focus on the actual Marine. 

I know the middle isn't actually in the middle. Did a mistake on both sides with the masking tape, not getting in the middle. Well it's my first one and I have to be more careful, you learn by your mistakes. 

All in all, the technique does not take long to do at all, I did this fast when my little daughter took a nap. For my first try I'm happy with how it turned out. I know I can make smother transitions because the airbrush where not in perfect shape when I did this.

Oh, and here's the recipe. White undercoat (I didn't have that luxury on this one though as it was painted red before), Model Color Sky Blue from Vallejo, then Vallejo Model Air French Blue, and for last Vallejo Model Air Signal Blue. I followed this guy's tutorial pretty much which you can find here. I also recommend the rest of his channel BuyPainted, he has some really nice tutorials there.

Unboxing Warzone Resurrection: Baron Leopold von Jaeger III

Jaeger considers himself a hunter more than a military man; he spent his childhood honing the art of the hunt in the jungles of House Piquarde, near Helmutsport on Venus. The skills he developed while hunting Devilcat, Venusian Python and alike on his ancestral home, have placed him in good stead within the Bauhaus Military and specifically the Bauhaus Artillery Korps (BAK), where he has excelled for 40 or so years. He is a strange sight to behold upon the battlefield, decked in the finery of a Bauhaus Kapitan, over which he wears his tatty fifty year old heavy leather hunting jacket. Perched upon his arm is his faithful hunting hawk ‘Hans’.

He wears a monocle and has the most magnificent of mustaches. Jaeger’s talents have afforded him the leniency of his superiors in regards to his less than standard tactics and appearance. When an enemy needs to be hunted in a brash show of Bauhaus military force, Jaeger is the man for the job. His befuddled appearance abelies a shrewd and tactical mind, a mind that sees a battle as something beneath him; much rather would he be hunting down a stealthy and intelligent foe in a series of precise attacks and feints, finally finishing the worthy opponent in a large, precise and devastating bombardment, obliterating them from existence. He scorns any mission given to him that does not spark his hunter’s interest, giving it the least of his attention. This has led to no end of disciplinaries, but his exemplary record elsewhere has ensured his current batch of superiors utilize the ‘old Baron’ where he is at his best.

Jaeger will always be found amongst the howitzers and cannons of his korps, surrounded by tables filled with maps and antiquated instruments of cartography and survey, reams of ink and guava splattered plans billow in the wind, detailing his target and the intricacies of the particular hunt. He will often go beyond his station, taking control of the larger army, ignoring the counter of his field superiors, wielding their men as if his own. Placing them, repositioning them and distributing them ready so that they will funnel the prey. Constantly muttering to himself as he discusses his plans with Hans, often getting into loud argument with the tempestuous bird as it’s ‘suggestions’ infuriate the Baron. Eventually, the moment will come when he has positioned, or funnelled, his prey. ‘Check mate’ he will mutter under his breath as Hans squawks and flaps in excitement. ‘FIRE!’ he screams before his guns reply.

The Baron is an new addition to the MC universe, and a really cool one as well. Ingame he can do some nice things making your Artillery more effective. So on to what we get in the box then.


Here's all the things you get in the box, one 30 mm round lipped base, the model an one stat card.

On the backside you see how to assemble him.

The model comes in three parts, details are excellent and I didn't find any mold lines or air bubbles at all. 

The stat card with all the necessary information you need to use him in your games. Love the art here as well.

A great addition to your artillery. 

Many nice little details, like his shoulderpads, medals and the monocle. Oh and the shell he is standing on. 

I might have put his right arm a little wrong but that is easily solved with greenstuff. 

Here he is assembled, really easy to put together with super glue. The details is really crisp just check out the markings on his shoulderpads, lovely! The model oozes character and I can't wait to get him painted and put him on the battlefield.

Unboxing Warzone Resurrection: Imperial MegaDeck

I got plenty of new stuff from Prodos Games yesterday and among them three of the new MegaDecks, where you get the new cards to use in the game. So first my thoughts in the change of format on the cards.

The old cards where in a very strange size, and they didn't have rounded corners, which made them difficult to shuffle. Especially without damaging the cards. So you go out and buy sleeves to protect your cards right? Yeah I finally managed to find some, and bought a bunch. I had to ship them from the US so it wasn't cheap, and they where also to thin for my taste. But they worked.

With the new cards it's a little easier to say the least. They are in standard format, you know the old Doomtrooper CCG set in the Mutant Chronicles universe? Or a little cardgame called Magic: The Gathering? There you have the standard format with rounded corners and everything.

So it's a nice change, makes it much easier to find sleeves for your cards to protect them, they take less space on the table (it actually makes a difference!). Of course this means I have hundreds of useless cards now, but I think Prodos had to do this change so rather sooner than later right?

There's also a change in how you get the cards, before you got them in the starters and with every miniature you bought. And while that is good and all (you didn't need to buy another box with just the cards) it also made some of the cards harder to get if you didn't buy many boxes of the same model kits. So this balances out the game and does not make you buy kits or additional kits just to get more copies of a certain card (this probably mostly a problem really competitive players had). You still get statcards of course in your kits, but to get your decks now you have to buy the MegaDeck box for your faction. OR, you can go to Prodosgames.com and via their download page get all the decks in PDF format to print out for free (quicklink here).

Soooo, now when that is out of the way, on to the actual unboxing of this particular MegaDeck, for the Imperial Corporation.

You get all the cards in this little nifty box

Here's a comparison to the old cards, as you can see, smaller size and rounded corners. 

Here's just a comparison with and old Doomtrooper card and a Magic: The Gathering card. The new Warzone cards is glossy like the old ones, I would prefer less glossy cards but in sleeves this does not make any real difference. 

Here's all the different Tactical cards you get, and you get five copies of each, because the is the max you can have in the same deck.  So here's 90 Tactical cards and the 12 Resource cards.

You get three copies of each Gear card and same here because that's how many you can have in the same deck. All in all 39 cards.

Same goes for the Strategy cards, three of each all in all 36 of them.

I haven't gone trough all and compared the cards, but there is some changes to the cards as you can see above. Both of these cards got better for example.

Here's some differences as well Gamma Ray got completely revamped. And I understand why the old version didn't really make sense. Offensive Sentry  got more clearer in the ruling and we now also know that it has RS 12.

So conclusion time then, I like the box and the new cards better than the old. You see the text just as good as on the old ones but have an standard size that makes your gaming life a little bit simpler. You also get some clarifications on the rules on some of them to make them more understandable. If you should get these boxes or go with the PDFs is a matter of taste and of course if you want to pay some money to get real cards instead of printed ones. I for one prefer the real deal.

Final hours of the Conan boardgame Kickstarter!
