In time far far ago.. I was a 40K junkie.. But Dark Heresy Role play is awake the force in me.

About a million years ago I bought Only war when the book first came out.  The idea of role playing for 40k was something I do..   Way back I mean why.  Like when Rogue Trader first came out.  I belonged to a small group that liked playing it.

   Now I have Dark Heresy.   Slowly going through the rules.  It has got me inspired to play.  The problem is I need to know how the mechanics work.   During my daily search via google I found this.

RollPlay Dark Heresy you tube video...  Damn this is what I have been look for.  Well I going to share with you the video series...  Just maybe it will inspire another 40k junkie.  Oh by the way there are 54 videos in the series.   You have the first one....

Sharp Practice 2nd edition video on how to play

Another set of rules laying about in the file of rules.  Sharp Practice to me looking like a interesting game.  The group I play with uses 15mm only for Napoleonic's.  But I had jump on to 25mm Plastic  by Perry Brothers and Victrix.   This before I got into the group.  Now I have Chosen.  To me Chosen looks a little like Sharp Practice.   Hope to do a small review on Chosen at a later date.    Now for the videos.

Dux Britanniarum vidoe

Hard to believe I had this rule set for 4 yrs.  The sad part is I haven't played them yet.  Plus all the miniatures I collected just for this game.  75% are painted...   bummer now for the video.

Update on Bundeswehr uniforms

Found this on the web.  This will give you an idea as to what color the uniform was for certain periods of the cold war.   Currently I'm painting my troop for the early cold war period.   Looks like I'm good up to 1990.  Images are by joerg-thamer

Found these prints of Russian Medieval knights.  Since my friend Anton has bought these knights I would post the prints.   It would be a great guide for him to paint them.  Now for the pictures.

Ministry of Gentlemanly warfare blog.

I am adding this blog to my list.  Ministy of Gentlemanly warfare   Because this blog cover Blood eagle, Daisho and In her majesty name.   The authors of these rules created this blog to cover their rules set.

Currently I own all of these rule sets.  I have found to be quick and easy to play.   So check out their blog.

28mm Viking for Blood Eagle

Finished these about a week ago.   The figures are Crusader vikings.   These are nice figures.

Hinderland 37mm Pom Pom ready for action

Here is my Pom Pom on its base.   Hope to take a picture of the finished base and crew in the next few day.  The model is very well made.  The detail on the gun itself is impressive....

More figures MWWBK campaign

These are made by Artizan design.   The company makes some really nice NWT figures.  Peachy, Danny and Billy Fish.   Need to finish up the bases with static grass.

Great Bundeswehr video from 1968

As of late I have been neglecting my Bundeswehr.   As I posted before my plan is to make an early force.   Someone told that they didnt believe the Luftwaffe used their F-104s as fighter bombers.   Here is the proof.   Some where on pile of to do list is several f-104s'

My Colonial Troop

Here they are.   Not a hundred percent finished.  But I wanted to should that I am really painting and modeling.    
Personally I like the warlord plastic figures over the Perry Brother plastic.  But if I could afford it I would only by Perry's lead figures. 

Perry Brother Plastic

Perry Brother lead Highlanders

Warlord's Colonial troops

Hope you like the troops.  Now back to the dungeon to paint all the white belts.
