Confrontation Mid Nor
Hello everyone!
This summer has been quite busy for me, including the wargaming department. I have decided to take a small break from Games Workshop (with the exception of BloodBool) and try 2 great games, Warzone Ressurection and Rackham's Confrontation.
My latest craze is about an OOP game, sadly no longer available. I have acquired a big Mid Nor army, when the game was still hot but never got the chance of playing with them. Recently a friend of mine, equally with big armies himself, got into the game too and the result was me digging up my old miniatures!
Examining the sculpts from up close once again I must say that they are just gorgeous, especially considering the date that these were sculpted. They could easily be standing today next to the latest releases from the biggest manufacturers out there.
They are also a challenge for me, trying some new techniques and playing with colors I have ages to use.
So here are my latest painted Mid Nor miniatures
As always, comments, remarks and criticism is more than welcome! Also I would love to see your votes on CoolMiniOrNot as always (check the pictures for links). I hope you like them as much as I do.

applying the Bauhaus Transfers plus... BloodBowl!
Hello everyone!
Continuing my summer vacation, I am putting into work all my projects that have been left behind.
I have got a nice feedback on my Bauhaus Transfer sheet that I posted on my previous post, and I have decided to give you an update on how nice it works on my latest Warzone project, The Grizzly
The photo is kinda crappy, its a real pain to photograph many models at once. I will try to have better pics soon, as I am also finishing my Chaos team!
I painted the team in the colors of the famous Reikland Reavers, I think it worked pretty well.
As always comments and remarks are more than welcome.
I'm leaving you with some tunes that are stuck in my playlist ever since this album was released! Till next time, take care!!

You can also catch a glimpse on the paintjob. More coming soon! ;)
Another thing I am really excited about lately is BloodBowl. I have played quite a few friendly games with a friend, enough to make me dig out my old Human Team and give them a new facelift. Some of the models had old paintjobs, others were just primed, the Ogre model is Buzzcut from Mantic's Dreadball with a minor alteration of new shoulderpads and of course a new base. I am so in love with this model, I love how dynamic the pose is. I think I am going to keep his name too! :P

Warzone Resurrection Bauhaus. WIP army display and Decal Sheet
Hello everyone!
Summer time is here and while everyone is splashing their ways through beaches and islands around Greece, I am still trapped working.
I have managed though to find time to start (yet another) project, this time non Warhammer related.
Back in the day, Warhammer was not the only player in the grimdark future sci fi wargaming market. Warzone was the main competitor and it did pretty well, managing almost to outrun Games Workshop... but it eventually failed, following a series of bad business decisions.
I have a big number of old Warzone minis, mainly due to the fact that I found them cheap over my local game store when the company stopped producing the game. I thought them as a cheap alternative for 40K conversions, and sadly most of these models ended up chopped and slashed in unfortunate conversions.
Lots have passed since then and the news that there was a Kickstarter campaign from Prodos Games planning to reboot the game hit me like lightning. I didn't have the chance to try the game back then, maybe this was the perfect chance to do it now. The Kickstarter went really well and Warzone Resurrection was a reality!
Long story short, I started digging my old Bauhaus miniatures, rebasing them and preparing to test the new rules. I even got my hands on the brand new Grizzly and Max Steiner models, all perfect to get me going for a start.
This is my army so far
The other thing that I decided to do with this project was to create my own Bauhaus decal sheet. The prospect of free-handing all the Bauhaus symbols on the models was a bit nightmarish, After some time on Corel and Photoshop, I ended up with this;
Till next time, take care!

| My Vulcan Battlesuit conversion, based on the old Target Games model, heavily converted though to match the current rules. |
| Max Steiner, the brand new model of the Venusian Ranger leader |
| The almighty Grizzly! Really cool looking model and so easy to assemble |
| Another view of the Grizzly |
| And yet another one! |
| There is a small off scale problem with the Grizzly in my opinion. The doors and the hatches are a tad too small, it still looks awesome though :P |
| I decided to make things more interesting in the back by adding some stowage and filling some gaps with greenstuff. Still need some filing to do though... |
| I made some small adjustments to the rest of the model as well, mainly pinning the turrets to the hull to keep them in place! |
It isn't something special but I it will be ok for now. I added some military style numbers and letters to use in vehicles. You can type this in A4 paper in any kind of decal paper. I followed the instructions from here to make mine!
I would love to hear your comments on this project, are there any people out there that play the Warzone reboot? What do you think of my decal sheet? I am open to suggestions on making it better!
Till next time, take care!

I have finally managed to finish my latest project, the glorious Imperial Knight from Games Workshop. You can see WIPs and all the background information on this project, on my previous post .
The finished model looks like this:
As always I would love to hear what you think and of course leave me a vote on CoolMiniOrNot if you have the time! :)

New blog design and House Taranis marching to war!
Hello everyone!
Long time no post again but as always real life has a bad habit of messing around with our hobby time :P In the meantime, I got the chance of re-designing the whole site, adding a second column and making it wider to make posts more easy to read and of course creating a brand new banner, with the cute zombie always present! :) I would love to hear what you people think on the new design, and maybe suggest any changes or report any bugs.
Anyways, after a really big waiting period for my Imperial Knight Titan to arrive, I finally managed to get my hands to one of the most amazing kits GW ever produced (I know its a big statement but I feel like saying it, especially after I have been able to see and work with it!). So, I would like to share with you this really big project I am currently working on the past weeks. My house Taranis Imperial Knight Titan!
I really like creating elaborate bases as you probably know from my projects so far, especially if I have the space to do so and with this being the largest base GW ever created, I had the space to create a small diorama. My image on this one is the Titan just smashing its way through a building, having left rubble and debris in its path!
With the assembly finished, it was time to put it in the painting booth! I really wanted to have a paint scheme that would get me out of the ordinary yellow and white schemes that I am used doing lately and I also wanted to make something that could be used in 30K battles as well, and House Taranis seemed like the perfect choice with their fluff being based on Mars and totally related to the Mechanicum clan.

Of course magnetizing the weapons was a one way street on this one, can't really decide on the weapons loadout but on the other hand, it was quite easy doing so!

So after a good airbrushing session the results are something like this:
Obviously a long way to go yet, but I think we are in a good spot!
So there you go people, I would really love to hear what you think so far!
