Undesirable No. 1.

Hey all! I just wanted to show these beautiful miniatures Roos painted a while ago!

Roos is a really big fan of the Harry Potter books and movies and really likes to be creative. So I told her about the Harry Potter range from Funko Pop and that people customize them by painting them for example. She really got excited of this idea, so we decided to order some of the Harry Potter Funko Pop keychains and started customizing!

So I removed the eyes and the noses of these figurines and sculpted some hair on Ron Weasley to make him stand out from Harry Potter. The Ron Weasley Figurine is actually the same as Harry Potter, only with it's glasses removed. We couldn't find a Ron Weasley in that scale, so we had to make one ourselves.

After that, Roos painted the figurines and I got to say I was really impressed by the results. I really love the way how Roos painted them up and I think they look awesome! :) They give me this feeling that they look like illustrations from a children's book, which I think is really cool! I hope you like them as well!

That's all for now, I hope to show some more miniatures and maybe even some terrain soon!

Untill next time,

Introducing the newest comptetitors! Toine's Blood Bowl Dwarves.

Hey all, it's been a while since my last post! We've been very busy painting up our Blood Bowl miniatures. So I tought it was time to introduce to you our newest competitors for our upcoming games of Blood Bowl, Toine's Dwarves! :) (Toine hasn't decided on a name yet for his team, so that's something we owe you for the future.)



Toine is actually pretty new to painting miniatures and I've got to say he's making awesome progress! Currently he's working on adding shades and highlights. I think they're looking very cool and I'm excited to see how the team will look when they're all finished! And ofcourse, how they'll do in the coming games of Blood Bowl!

Also I've been speaking to my Cousin Mike (Better known as "Niffa",  Mieker or/and Miekel ), and we would like to be playing Warhammer 40.000 Kill Teams during the upcoming Christmas holiday. This may seem pretty far away at this time, but since Mieker lives in the United States, we need to plan this kind of things early on... So I've got to start thinking about which kind of Kill Team I would like to play and build :)! Mieker also has some cool ideas for terrain, so we might work them out! Who know's what the future will bring...

That's all for now, untill next time,

Fond memories.

Just a little heads up from yesterday's meeting.

Yesterday evening me and the guys met up to paint some more of our Blood Bowl miniatures. After a while, Ax decided to search some of the forums we used to post and found this!

It's a miniature I painted a long time ago, another mercenary with a monkey I sculpted. (I guess I really liked monkeys, haha.) Back in the days we used to go over to the Games Workshop in Amsterdam during the weekends and spent there the whole day painting. Used to be really fun! These are actually fond memories, so I'm glad Ax found this picture :).

Untill next time,

Tom

Jim & Bob's seal of approval.

So currently we're all working on Blood Bowl teams to play some games. Even my girlfriend likes painting, so I got her a Wood Elf team which I converted out of the Elfheim Eagles box. I'm really impressed by her painting skills already, so I decided to post them on the official Blood Bowl Facebook page to see what Jim & Bob would think of them...

Really glad they liked them as much as I do! In the near future I will post more about the Blood Bowl teams we're making!

Well, that's all for now! Untill Next time,

Back from the dead... after 10 years!

Wow, that’s been a long, long time ago… It’s been almost 10 years since I made my first (and also my last) post on this blog… I started it back in the days when I was only 14 years of age and now I’m already 24… Well, time flies!

When I started this blog, I was really hyped to be playing Mordheim. I got inspired a year earlier in 2007 after finding out a video on YouTube from Thomas and his friends of The Boring Mordheim Blog. I still remember this moment when I thought, this is really, really cool! What I liked about Mordheim, is that you build a warband of really characterful miniatures and the progress they can make during a campaign. It really felt like an awesome game when I read about it and couldn't wait to get started.

So soon after, I started building some random miniatures for Mordheim. The first I made were the following, a monkey I sculpted from Greenstuff and his companion. (Picture isn't of the best quality, haha!)

 (Monkey and Mercenary companion, 2007)

After that, it was time to start a warband! But I didn't realize how hard it was to choose a warband you really liked, so I switched back and forth between warbands alot and never really finished one. I remember always starting something and really be excited, only to switch to something else soon after being inspired by all of the wonderful miniatures made by others online. This resulted in alot of unfinished warbands, like my Witch Hunters that I built in 2008...

 (Witch Hunter heroes and dog, 2008.)

But things change! I used to look back at all the blogs I made in the past, which made me realize it's really fun to look back at the things you did! So I made up my mind and went back to revive this blog after being absent for a long time. Back in the days, I really wanted this blog to be focused on Mordheim only. This made it way harder to keep up the posting, since I tend to switch between different games often. So this time I'm really going to try to stick around and keep this blog up and running!

To do this, I decided that I will not post only about Mordheim, but about all my wargaming experiences I have togheter with friends and the miniatures me and my friends paint! Like for example, we're currently all working on Blood Bowl teams! I hope this will make it easier to keep the blog alive. :) So expect some posts of our Blood Bowl team in the near future!

Well, that's all for now... Untill next time,
