1:300 scale WWI German Albatros D.II

So back in the day, I used to attend Historicon and I signed up for a game called Hostile Aircraft. It was when the rules first came out and the author was an interesting fellow, but cool. After that game experience I immediately signed up for later ones he was running. I was hooked. 

I collected a bunch of aircraft, and then lost interest over the years. Family, work, etc. bla bla bla. Finally a few years back I got rid of them all. 

Then I saw a few vids from Steel Fist, and bought some more bloody aircraft. That was a year ago and I really didn’t do anything with it. Then that dude from Steel Fist had to go and mention the Facebook group Algernon, and so I joined that and got hooked again after looking at all the cool aircraft.

This time I think it will be better. Algernon is much simpler (Hostile Aircraft actually gave my friend a migraine trying to figure out 3D combat) and a bit more laid back. So I think I will enjoy it.

So after digging out my books (thank god I kept those, never throw away your books!), and tried like hell to remember the colors I needed. Here are my first four Albatros D.II's, my hands aren't as steady, so the free hand almost drove me mad. Then I find out that the two packages of crosses I had, one sheet was fine, the second sheet was misprinted, same for the other package. I was not happy but I went and put on the crooked crosses anyways. 

Now off to painting some DH2's, hopefully I can get in a game next month. 

As always thanks for looking.

Aristeia! hEXx3r Nomad Witch

More than any other hacker in the brief stretch that the discipline has been applied to Aristeia! hEXx3r has changed the face of the game forever. In record time, she has proven capable of turning the tide of a match by sending her opponents into disarray at the worst possible moment. Armed with nothing but software, hEXx3r gives the heavyweights a run for their money. She freezes them, exposes them and then throws them into ambuscades choreographed at the speed of thought. The words “that Nomad witch” are often muttered by players as they’re carted out of the HexaDome.

hEXx3r the Nomad Witch is one of my favorite models for the miniature board game of futuristic gladiator combat. Aristeia! is my favorite miniature Boardgame that I have been playing with a friend. We have both collected all of the expansions and have a blast playing it. 

A new version of the game will be released by Corvus Belli soon called Hexadome. My friend and I are both looking forward to that. Hopefully they will incorporate all our current owned models, but if not we will still play the older version as it’s a blast.

I painted up the Nomad Witch for my friend and below is the original model I painted.

The following photos are of my model I painted this week. This is a new skin, same character just a fantasy look.

As always thanks for looking.
