Fantasy Flight have some new models coming for Dust tactics. They look eminently suitable for any Weird WWII. First up is the Horton Jump Jet and below a walker Hanomag. Available in the UK from Wayland Games, from where I got these photos.

In The Navy

This is an amusing graphic. HMS Queen Elizabeth in the Thames. In real life they might have one hell of a job getting it under Tower Bridge.

Chaos Sorcerer

I have been going through my Bitz Box and assembled this from spare bits: the left arm is made up of components from three seperate models.

I have in mind to pait a new army for the Alpha Legion so have painted this model so it would blend in.

Very British Civil War

Found this on the internet.

Not sure where 'quail' come into it: surely shome mishtake for grouse?

Cadcam Design: Scales

I blogged a little while back on cadcam impacts on wargame miniature production. Here is an example from Plastic Soldier. Here are a Russian AT gun and a field gun in two scales, 28 mil and 1/72 (roughly 20 mil). The models are identicalexcept for size; look at the guy with the outstretched hand.. I believe they also do the same miniatures in 15 mil.

Once you have the design sorted any scale can be produced.

Ravenwing

I don't buy many 40K books as they are mostly not too my taste, too much like fanfic for my liking but Gav Thorpe is an exception.


I enjoyed Ravenwing a great deal. Thorpe is not the most technically proficient writer in the world. His sentence construction can be a little clunky but he is a wonderful story teller and that is far more important.



He has an old fashioned ‘dark. approach to 40K that matches my take on the universe. He portrays the Dark Angel version of Churchill’s dictum well: in wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.


Great stuff!

New Year Greetings from London

May you have a happy and prosperous New Year and the best of all luck from the ancient city on the banks of the Thames.
