Miniature Monday: Bauhaus Venusian Ranger

Not a lot of of posts lately I'm afraid. Must be better on this, but here's my painted model for this Miniature Monday. A test model of the first of the new Venusian Rangers.

I actually painted this one up a little different from the old ones. I first went with a red inside of the cloak like the more classic artworks. But it looked to different from from the rest of my Bauhaus force and I also had painted more camo at this point so I needed some more blue to tie it in with rest.

So I did this, please tell me what you think.

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.

Miniature Monday: Bauhaus Vulkan Battlesuit

Yes, first finished model of the month and something I have only painted on during this year. And it's my second Vulkan Battlesuit, but this time it's the new version and not the Kickstarter version.

The last pictures show you the differences between the two, and they are quite different. But not so much that they won't fit together in the same force, especially when painted similar. I just say the KS version is a mark 2 (dunno how many Vulkan models there have been before but I think only one) and the new one a mark 3.

I much prefer the new version, the closed canopy is from the old kit though so I made a little conversion there, sadly the new kit don't have that option. But the old one has it charms and I quite like the sleeker look of it and the added height. The details and stuff is far superior on the new version though, and I have another one that I will paint up later. Until then, or my next post hopefully. Here's the pictures, as always comments are much welcome!

With HMG and Heavy Flamethrower

With Hydraulic Powered Fists

A comparison between Kickstarter version and the new one.

On the back you can clearly see how much more details the new version has compared to the KS version. 

Miniature Monday: Bauhaus Venusian Rangers finished!

Been hard at work completing one more unit this week, and it's non the less than the Venusian Rangers. Compared to the new models these look far as good but I still like them, even though they where a pain in the ass to paint up.

The reason for this mainly some really rough areas that where hard to fix and get a smooth surface. Mainly the shoulder pads where a problem and it does not get easier when covering it up with paint, using whites.

These where hastily painted up because I had a deadline to catch which I will talk more about in the near future. But I think I need to add some more paint to these on some areas and fix the eye lenses. But until then these pictures will have to do, still happy with how they turned out in the end and I like how the camo on the cloaks looks. That's all for now, comments are as always much welcome!

Warzone: Bauhaus Etoles Mortant finished!

Been painting like crazy this past week and that have finally given some results. And first up is five of my Etoles Mortants for the Bauhaus faction.

These where really fun to paint even if I have stressed a little, and the faces is quite hard to paint up as they are small and women's faces tends to be harder to paint generally.

I really like how the unit looks now when it's finished though and especially the girl with the Gehenna Puker, can't wait to use that on someone in my next WZ:R game.

C & C is as always very much welcome.

Unboxing Warzone Resurrection: Bauhaus Vorreiters (new version)

The Vorreiter tracked bike is a valued tool in the Bauhaus armoury and is esteemed not only for the finely engineered Bauhausian technology they represent, but also for the tactics their pilots employ. Vorreiter pilots are drawn from the megacorporation’s many ranks of Hussars. When natural skill and tendency towards mechanical mounts is noted, a recommendation is made for the Hussar to advance through the ranks. Successful candidates enter the 4RB-training program. Those that pass the training enter the hallowed ranks of the Vorreiter pilots; failures re-join their former regiment and must wear a badge of dishonour showing a black cross, superimposed with an image of a Vorreiter Bike.

The paired weapons are controlled by the pilot using buttons integrated into its steering bar. Vorreiter squadrons often play small, but vital roles in larger missions, working to outflank or distract the opponent whilst a larger strike force attacks from the front. Often they play the part of outriding scouts or messengers. On occasion, the Vorreiters may embark on heroic and key missions, especially when it is vital to disrupt enemy plans. Such Seek-and-Destroy missions add to their illustrious image and arrogance. Like their Lizard-Riding Mounted Hussar counterparts, the Vorreiters also excel as reconnaissance troops.

Unboxing time again and this time it's once again a new version of models from the Bauhaus Corporation. I wasn't a huge fan of the first versions so let's see how these new ones look.

All the contents in the box.

Some things had snapped off, like one of the swords and the spikes on their helmet. You might also see on the lower sprue that I got two left arms, I worked out this problem anyway as you will see later. 

The new Vorreiter Bike, a lot more details and crisper details. As you can see the legs are attached already to the seat so you don't need to glue them on. 

Got some flash that is easy to remove and some minor moldlines (or displacements really not true moldlines) that isn't hard to fix up either. 

You get seven cards, a stat card for each bike and two Strategy cards, two Tactical cards and one Gear card. Nothing new here compared to the old versions of the Vorreiters. 

Here is the built versions, with their wings and all. The wings is a new addition to the new style Vorreiters and is of course an little homage to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth winged Hussars (and Prodos is half a Polish company)

Easy to built even if I had to take the sword arm as the right arm because I got two left arms instead. Worked out anyway and the resin Prodos uses is so nice to work. 

Haven't cleaned the whole model on the left here.

Comparison with the old Vorreiter. Looks smaller and they are a little shorter but the image is making it look even more so. 

Conclusion
I like this kit a lot more, they haven't change the design much but given it a lot more details and is much crisper. They will look nice together despite this changes (military equipment changes all the time with new versions of tanks and what not) and I'm glad I also have the old ones. All in all a great kit even if I had some minor problems with mine.

Unboxing Warzone Resurrection: Bauhaus Starter Box (new version)

Unboxing time again and this is a quite big one, it's a lovely box though with really nice miniatures so keep on reading.

First up, this the totally new version of the Bauhaus Starter Box, the first one was based on the Kickstarter box and miniatures, and if you want to do a straight on comparison you can check out my Review/Unboxing of the old version here.

And now on the the new one.

You saw the front of the box on the top if this page and here's the back showing us...the old contents of the old box! Well this will be sorted out in the future I'm sure and is really just confusing for people seeing the box in stores and what not so no biggie but still something Prodos need the change later on. 

All the content in the box, better protected on the inside than the old boxes. 

And here's everything you get taken out. 1 Marshal/Kapitan, 1 Vulcan Battlesuit and 10 Hussars. A deck of cards (I count them to 79!?) bases for everyone and two D20. 

Here's the first sprue with the Marshal/Kapitan on a horse, there is some flash and some moldlines on the horse especially but nothing that isn't easy to solve. There's really not one of them who is the Marshal or Kapitan so just choose the one you like the most and you might have some use for the spare parts for a conversion or something. 

Really nice details and lovely design all trough. 

Cards for the Kapitan, here he is called Venusian Kapitan and have some different rules to the 'Kapitan' in the HotSS PDF. I think this card is a version that got scrapped but still found it's way into my box. Also note, there's no card for the Marshal strangely enough. 

Won't write much about the Vulcan model as I have already done an Unboxing of it. See it here. 

Different cards this time around though, Assault Frame was named Charge before and did the same thing but was an Tactical instead of an Gear card. So better now I think. Also the the 'Break the Line' card is new and quite good as well.  

And here we have the Hussars, the grunts who do the dirty job. You get ten of them is this box. Five different posed bodies, and all the weapons you need to equip them however you like. So ten AG-17 Panzerknacker Assault Rifles, two ARG-17 Rocker Launchers and two MG-40 LMG. 

The front of the first five Hussars, much better details compared to the old KS versions. And pretty much no moldlines or defects, just some flash. 

The weapon and arms sprues does make it so you can have your guys look quite different despite it being just five different main bodies to choose from. 

Hold the Line is a new card for the Hussars (instead of Munitions Change), and Stuck Grenades is changed to be easier to read out.

11 Resource cards? Should it be 10? I don't know.

No new cards here.

Here we have some changes though, new cards is Jungle Clearing Roto-Blades and Overcharged Plasma Shells. Look at my Unboxing of the old version to see which cards which have been removed or changed. 

Quite a lot of changes here's as well. Air Strike Flare was an Gear card before. 'Drilled to Perfection' is instead of a 'Spoke in the Cog' and is really an upgraded version (1+ to both RS and LD instead of just LD)

Have probably over a thousand WZR cards now and this is the first time I see this.

Here's the first built Hussars, here with an LMG. No of the arms are glued here but they fit so nice so you don't even need anything to keep them where they are. This is awesome because you can remove the arms when painting underneath and just glue them on when all that is finished.

The backpacks is stuck to the bodies but they look so much better than the old KS ones so that is not a problem really. 

Next five, some different arms makes this unit look a little bit different. Here they have a Rocket Launcher instead. 

The Kapitan with the option I choose. Some moldlines on the horse and the leg didn't fit perfectly so I need to do some minor GS work there. 

Awesome model. 

You can magnatize the two different bodies if you want to get both looks. 

But they fit together so nicely so that is almost not needed.

Here's is the other body option, it didn't fit together as good as the first one without glue. 

Here's how I built this Vulkan Battlesuit.

Had some minor issues with moldlines and what not on this one. But nothing major that can't be fixed quite easily. 

Spare parts. 

Here's we have a comparison shot with old VS new. The details on the new ones are so much better!

The spread legs syndrome is cured on the Bauhaus Hussars. 

So closing words then. Well first of all this box is much better than the old, details and overall quality on the sculpts have been improved considerably. There is some confusion with the cards, bases and what not (I'm waiting for answers from Prodos regarding these) but there is a great value in this box with great models and a good start for starting a new Bauhaus force (I see no reason not to buy this if you are starting a new Bauhaus Force actually. ). Still glad I have the old KS versions, but this new one is superior in every way.

All the guys you get in the box in their full glory.
