Warzone: Bauhaus Teasers Compilation

Lots of lovely Bauhaus teasers from the Prodos Games Facebook page, It is really nice to see those involved, opening the doors to public opinion on the product. Prodos have released a few pictures of the redesigned Bauhaus main soldier (Hussars) with a number of helmet choices, which are to be voted on by fans/supporters. Even I - who normally remains quiet on things like Facebook - have cast my vote on helmet choices for the upcoming release.  Below is a collection of the current Bauhaus concepts Prodos are looking at for the army as a whole.

Some fans have reservations concerning scaling ie the Vulkan battlesuit. In my opinion while noticeably smaller than the 2nd edition sculpt (I had two boxes back in the day), I think the new kits fits the theme of a 'modern' integration for today's miniature collector. While the likes of Privateer and in many ways GW thrive on big shoulder pad syndrome, I do not think it is something every company can pass off right now...I guess times have just changed and the novelty that is nostalgia may not (be enough?) translate well into a much more modern and larger wargaming community. 

It is still very early days for this Kickstarter project, with 59 days left to run, we may well see much more new and unique product as the weeks roll by; as it stands; £20,000 + in one day is not bad going, however it remains to be seen whether the popularity of brand and Kickstarter tiers will carry the funding over and beyond the £35,000 primary goal.

P.s. I even watched the 2008 Mutant Chronicles movie...bad I know but what a fun guilty pleasure it is.

Warzone: Resurrection Imminent! *Updated*

Just sitting here waiting for the last 20 or so minutes before Warzone: Resurrection goes live. I am quite excited about this, having bought into Target Game's version of Warzone in the mid nineties. I had a fairly large Bauhaus army at the time, but missed out on lots of great figures due to the fact I was a strapped for cash student. From what I have seen so far, the new Warzone figures look promising, but I am not sure what exactly will happen at midnight, will we get a full website? or will it be merely a KS announcement? 

If you are interested in finding out more about the Warzone: Resurrection, visit their Facebook page HERE, as the site is down for what I am assuming will be another 15-20 minutes.

I know it has been quiet for a few weeks, but quiet on the blog does not mean quiet in real life. I have been working diligently on my Nurgle Daemons for the last few weeks in preparation for something Daemon related in March, lots of building has been done and lots of good solid painting too. I look forward to sharing progress pics next week.

A random early morning post from myself - It's just gone 5:04am at the time of writing. The reason for this unusually early morning hobby bit, is the dog has had a little accident after being fed bad things by the girlfriend, while I was away this weekend. Needless to say, one large German Shepherd makes a lot of mess and since I am up now (and can't sleep) I may as well share a post on what came through the door end of last week.

New Poll: Pre-Heresy Vs Post Heresy

The 14th legion will be getting a project face lift this year. With the Nurgle Daemons project getting there under it's own speed, it is time for me to start looking at power armour representation of Nurgle. As it stands, 2012 was a great year for the 'baddies', with two very different options to represent your favourite Legion army.

Nurgle: Days progress

First painting day of the year out of the way, and a good amount of progress (for me). Sometimes I take fairly long breaks between painting sessions and this can cause problems such as forgetting a paint mix. To fix this, I have a small note pad on the table and a pen, in case I come up with something new. Getting into this routine of writing down paint mixes means last year, meant I was able to launch straight into painting Nurglings again without much downtime. Other than the base (I am waiting for glue to dry before proceeding), the third Nurgling stand is complete, and in my opinion it is starting to become quite a eye catching unit. With another four bases cut from the sprue, I am intending to have a full seven bases complete by the end of the month.
