Thulsa Doom’s snake cult in “Conan the Barbarian” includes not only many, sinister warriors but also other followers who deeply revere him. Cultic women and men, some of whom I wanted to have in my collection. Starting off are two “Serpent Priestesses” from Forge of Ice (available in Europe from Fenris Games). The Forge of …

Braveheart was an important film for me for years. As a kid, I was a huge fan of medieval knights and literally soaked up all the stories and children’s series (Prince Valiant!). I have no idea how old I was when I saw Braveheart for the first time, probably 11 or 12 and definitely too …
For months now, you’ve been seeing a lot of Star Wars Legion and models from 3D printing providers, all of them great, often spectacularly painted. As a Star Wars fan, your heart swells, it’s just insanely exciting what is now possible in our hobby. Although I have decided not to start with Star Wars Legion …

Finally it continues with my Moors for Saga. Fabian from the podcast Krauthorn and I had decided in the summer to simply make up for the missed official Armies on Parade by Stronghold Terrain and host our own little Armies on Parade in the second half of 2020. After a good start, we were abruptly …
Phew, “Shrek” turns 20 years old this year. My lords, how time flies!I’ve seen all the movies (except for the Puss-spin off, is it worth it?) and I liked them back then. I haven’t looked in since, though, and can’t judge whether they’ve aged well. The use of fairy tales and myths was nothing new, …
First of all, may I wish all readers a happy, healthy and optimistic new year. Of course, times are still difficult and we have already seen some things globally in the last few days that we would have preferred to avoid. But I prefer to keep optimism and believe that things will get better. From …
What a year. We have probably experienced a historic year, which we all remember as a whole society and each of us differently. I have not yet read any annual reviews, but it is clear that they will be dominated by the one issue that has defined us all. My life and that of my …
This year there is no Santa Claus, but another gentleman with a luxuriant white beard, red coat and a special gift for all the good ones: Getafix and his magic potion. The miniature comes from the same series of Metal Magic as already Asterix and Obelix. The casting was quite good for a figure from …
