Dwarfs Dating: All Love is Pain (Scibor's Love Dwarf)

Hello all,
Back when I used to play Skavens in Warhammer (3rd - 6th ed), I developed a serious dislike of dwarfs. They had better warmachines than me and breaking them in comabt was almost impossible. But in the end they were always too few to survive the hordes of rats. despite the win rate against them I always hated palying against a dwarf army - slow games always ensued.
But once in a blue moon a mini comes along that almost makes me want to buy it, even though it is a dwarf. And the talented Scibor has just made such a mini. I would love to paint this mini, and I do think anyw arf general not too serious to have fun should buy this beauty:

How can you not love this gobboslaying love-dwarf? So many great details, and even a catching slogan.

All the best,
Kasper

75,000 HITS! WOOHOO!

Hello all,
This blog just got its visitor number 75000! That is huge and I really appreciate all the visitors, commentors, and followers that have contributed to this.
Even though the blog is a bit quite at the moment (the reason being that I have half a year left to finish my Ph.D....) there is still a steady traffic - and some even click the new adds, which I really appreciate!
So you are all invited to the party!

As for the future of this blog, there will be a lot of pictures coming soonish of one of my opponents army. This should help fill the gap, until we (I) get some games arranged again.

All the best,
Tokasper

Best wargaming X-mas gift ever, perhaps? Homemade wargaming candle holders!!

Hello all,
One of my regular opponents surprised me this christmas. He had produced these beautiful things (at least I think they are beautiful, the wife might think otherwise...):

These are candle holders for a Christmas tree, but made from miniatures he cast and painted in christmasssy colours himself. I am mightily impressed.

Here is his mug shot taken while he contemplates how to destroy my armies:

Thanks for the gift, Per!

And I hope everyone else had a great holiday!

All the best,
Kasper

Games Workshop's Space Hulk - Made in Denmark?

Hello all,
Just noticed that the forthcoming Iphone (Ipad?) version of the best game Games Workshop ever made (i.e. Space Hulk) is being made by a Danish Company. A company based in Copenhagen called "Full Control". I have no idea who they might be but the fact that this game is being produced in my backyard is pretty fun. I used to play the original board game every wednesday night and there is so much fun in those dark scary corridors.
Twenty years ago (more or less, probably more...) I was at a gaming conference where we (twenty players) played one squad member each, could only communicate with team members nearby and the entire room was pitch black except emergency beacons etc. Loud scary music. Easily one of the best gaming experiences ever...
And now it will be coming on the Ipad. Apparently similar to the game X-Com, which looks good.

Oh well, really hope they do the brand and country proud :-).
