My dissertation was accepted for defence!

Hello all,
I know I've often complained about work and how it has delayed the much more important aspect of life (painting miniatures), and some of you have been kind enough to ask and lament along with me but today I finally got word that my dissertation has been approved for defence and with the following (for the scholarly world) praise:

"Conclusion
The work undoubtedly represents a significant advancement of our understanding of the figure, leading international research on this complex and multifaceted tradition in a new promising direction. The assessment of the work in general is positive, and the committee is in no doubt that the work is well qualified for being accepted for defence."

I am pretty darn happy - seems the professors did not consider my four years of hard labour completely wasted :-).

Just wanted to share the news with you and explain how and why there might be a lot more painted figures and battle reports coming shortly :-)

All the best,

Kasper

Wuhuu: 100.000 hits and 300 posts!

Hello all,
Unbeknownst to me, this old blog turned a significant corner a few days ago: 100.000 hits and more than 300 posts. I would thus like to thank you all for stopping by, following and commenting on my random musings.
What began as a place to remember our Warmaster Historical battles has turned into a weird mixture of 10mm Warmaster, 28mm Zombicide and more or less random posts on Blood Bowl, Heroquest and Girls in Mail Bikinies (always a crowd favourite :-)). I'm glad that so many have taken the time to read these half thought out ideas and thoughts.

Meeeow?

As my two kittens (Tosca and Ninja) so eloquently puts it, I'm really happy to have discovered the great blogosphere and its marvelous resources but also to have a place to "immortalize" our games and my average paintjobs - and without your comments and visits it would have died out a long time ago - so, once again, thanks for visiting!

In the very near future I'll be showing the first finished members of my new Daemonette Blood Bowl team (which will serve as a Count-As team for Amazons, Humans, Chaos, etc.) - expect great purpleness with pinkish overtones :-).

Until then, thanks!

All the best,
Kasper

Little Lunatic: Goblin Fanatic

Hello all,
One of the oldish models I found in my forgotten box of minis was this sweet little Goblin Fanatic. How could anyone resist painting such an adoring face?

Still a great sculpt and it was very fun to paint - a quick paintjob and he is ready for the Blood Bowl pitch.

Didn't want him too dark, and thus resisted the classic Night Goblin paint scheme.

All the best,
Kasper

Old One-Arm - Mr. Mummy a Blood Bowl player extraordinaire

Hello all,

Well, it was a fun paint job - the old Games Workshop mummy that had lost an arm and a leg. The boot made out of play-doh and instant glue turned out all right (even though it broke apart when I transferred him to a new base).

Even though I still havn't figured out what I'm going to do about his missing arm he still looks pretty imposing :-).

Great sculpt and another player is ready for the Blood Bowl pitch!

All the best,
Kasper
