Dol Guldur Project 3

It is time for another update on this project =)

The Necromancer






I was able to pick this model at the beginning of December. I took my time look it up closely, remove the excess metal around the model and find the best position to glue the miniature parts together. This worked ok. However when placing it on the base I quickly realized that I could not use it as it was. There were to many tiny irregularities to give enough surface to glue it together without the danger to easily get lose on the first impact of pressure. So I borrowed a set of  files from my father (thx a lot! ^^) to get rid of them.  It took one evening to find the correct places and slowly but safely remove material where it was needed.  But finally I thought it to be sufficient and voila - they big guy now holds tightly to his base ;)
There are some open spaces between the glued parts, which I will fill with Milliput - another premiere for me^^

Castellans of Dol Guldur





End of November I ordered this set from Fantasywelt.de since they had a reduced price and ok delivery costs. Received it today. All models are undamaged - just one had a slightly bent sword which I could easily move into a correct position. They look great and I cannot wait to paint them =)

Nazgul of Dol Guldur

Last time I showed you some pictures of my first paint jobs on them and I am not satisfied with the result. The greens really does not get through as I expected and the metal looks dull + all details vanish once you are more than one meter away.
I gathered some tips from the FB groups and hopefully I can improve.

Feldherr Miniature Bag



This one was not planned and is not directly connected to my DG project. However I am going to meet a friend at a local store to play some matches, I remembered that so far it was quite a pain to transport my miniatures to places outside of my home. And since by coincidence I heard about the "Feldherr" shop this week, I decided to give it a look. I was positively surprised about the big available range and the quite good prices! So I ordered this bag with inlays for 64 miniatures for around 40 €. And I already like it! Miniatures fit in neatly and it looks good. Finally no more paper wrapping for my warriors and and still having to fear for damage^^

Conclusion

So I finally managed to have all the required pieces for my Dol Guldur project together =D The biggest open point is probably gonna be to find a painting version I am happy with.
Till then, I wish you all happy hobbying ;)

MESBG VS 40k 10. Edition - Meine ersten Erfahrungen

Image
Wie ihr vielleicht schon gelesen habt, habe ich begonnen 40k zu spielen und dass es mir sehr gefällt. Ich habe sogar meinen neuen Modelle den Vorzug gegenüber meinen Ostlingen gegeben. Es fühlte sich etwas falsch an am Anfang (immerhin hatte ich mein Ostling-Projekt schon lange vor mir her geschoben). Aber so liegt nun mal gerade meine Motivation und warum sie nicht genießen und nutzen? ;) Ich habe mich mehreren FB Gruppen und Discord Servern angeschlossen, welche sich mit 40k und AdMech beschäftigen. Während ich also dabei war meine Kataphrone zu bemalen und mich durch all den neuen Stoff zu lesen, begann ich über die Unterschiede zwischen MESBG und 40k nachzudenken.  Dabei kam ich auf ein paar interessante Vergleiche und entschied, diese mit euch teilen zu wollen ;) Ich habe diese Beitrag in verschiedene Bereiche gegliedert und schreibe zu jedem etwas über beide Systeme. Anmerkung Wie bereits in meinem älteren Beitrag erwähnt, habe ich mit 40k bisher Erfahrung aus vier Spielen Comba

Rise of the Necromancer LL Review

Image
The "Fall of the Necromancer" expansion from autumn 2021, saw four new LL releases. Two of them were hero-only LLs. One was the infamous "Vanquishers of the  Necromancer" - mixing up the tournament scene and stirring up quite a turmoil and discussions about how far a LL should go and if this is not the complete opposite of what the game stands for. While the other LLs (Rangers of Mirkwood and Pits of Dol Guldur) were frequently covered and discussed in podcasts, blogs, YT videos etc, the fourth one was notably absent from all this  or received only a fraction of the time- The Rise of the Necromancer LL. This one was actually the only LL and the only thing of the expansion I was interested in. I had my eyes already set on a Dol Guldur hero-only army for quite some time. And now I received the perfect LL for my needs.  I want to share with you my experience with this force and what I think about it in detail. Let me take you on a journey to the dark paths of Dol Guldu

MESBG VS 40k 10th Edition - First Experience

Image
As you maybe read, I dipped my toes into the 40k system and really enjoyed it. I even prioritized painting my new miniatures over painting my Easterlings. It felt wrong at the beginning (after all I procrastinated my Easterling project already for a long time) but in the end, my motivation currently is with 40k and why not enjoy and go along with it? ;) I also joined multiple FB groups and Discord servers, dedicated to 40k and AdMech. And while painting my Kataphrons and reading through all the stuff, I started thinking about the differences between the system and playstyle of  MESBG and 40k. Some interesting comparisons came up and I thought it could be interesting to share my thoughts with you ;) I structured this post into different topics, where in each I will talk about both systems. Remark As mentioned in my previous post , my 40k experience so far  results from four games of Combat Patrol and reading up a lot. And even though there is basically no difference in rules to bigger g
