It's time to catch up once again with our salty newbies as they take their
first tentative steps into the world of Age of Sigmar.
David- Apes of Sigmar
Having previously painted up the Stormcast Eternals from the original Age of
Sigmar starter set I had a bit of a head start on the rest of the boys, already
having a solid core of units painted and based.
So I've been working away at painting up all the Soul Wars Stormcasts in the
same colour scheme and have been making good progress.

Tomica is the line of die-cast toy vehicles produced since
1970 by Takara Tomy Co. of Japan. Tomica can be thought of as the Matchbox Toys
of Japan – but focuses mainly on Japanese domestic car brands from Toyota,
Nissan, Honda to Mitsuoka .
In 1970, there was only available the standard scale miniature car produced
by Diamond pet and Model pet , and some other small scale miniature cars were
imported by foreign brands.
Looking at this situation, Tomica was released as a full-scale small scale
die cast car of Japan domestic cars.
Tomica used to refer to the
“match box”, which was the main
products of small scale mini cars at the time. The scales of cars are mixed and
the size of the box is unified, replacing the new lineups by numbering. Using a
technique named “HOT STAMP” pressing the aluminium foil for representation
of chrome wheel (or wheel cap), suspension mechanism using leaf spring, thin
tire, and opening and closing action such as door, bonnet hood, trunk etc, these
are all based on the match box.
Also they had main theme
“Japanese diecast mini-cars for Japanese children”
Molded on Japanese domestic vehicles,that come in sizes that fit easily in the
palm of a child hands.

The release of Warhammer
Age of Sigmar 2nd Edition this past weekend means that now is the
perfect time to try out gaming in the Mortal Realms.
So we've put together an elite crew of salty grognards for whom the initial
release of Ae of Sigmar back in 2015 didn't grab their interest but have now
succumbed to the temptation of all the shiny new miniatures, high-fantasy
background and round-based madness.
Thus the Tale of Six Warlords begins, as our intrepid generals embark on a
quest to grow small Age of Sigmar armies to begin a Season of War- Firestorm
campaign and grow their skills and forces in order to seek the eternal glory of
the wooden spoon at a full sized AOS tournament.
So let's met our players and check out their army choices…

Welcome to the 3rd instalment of my Dust Tactics Ludwig Painting Blog. You
can see the previous posts Here .
With the camouflage coats and chipping fully applied and locked in, I can
now start on the enamel weathering effects. I'm primarily using the AK
Afrika Korps Weathering Set but will also be using some
artist's oil paints as well.
Step 5: Time for a Filter
Applying a filter helps to soften the transitions between the camouflage
colours and adds come more chromatic chromatic richness to the large areas. The
Filter for Afrika Korps is quite a vibrant yellow ochre, so I thinned
it down with odourless turpentine to a 50/50 mix, as I was after a more subtle
finish.

Now that the priming and preshading is complete and protected with a coat of
satin
varnish, its time to start painting the camouflage scheme, incorporating
some colour modulation and chipping effects.
Since I'm using the Afrika Korps Paint set from AK Interactive
I don't have to do any research in order to choose the correct colour scheme
and paints to reproduce an authentic German desert camo. All I have to do is
choose one of the schemes from the back of the paint set and I'm good
to go!
Step 1: Apply the Chipping Effect Layer
Since I'm going to be using some chipping effects on my Ludwig, before
I start to paint the main base coat of RAL8020 Braun I first need to
apply the Worn
Effects Fluid. This is simply airbrushed over the entire model in a couple
of thin coats.

Welcome to the first part of an in depth series for painting Afrika Korps
camouflage. The model used is a Ludwig from Dust Tactics, but this technique and
colours could be used for Flames of War, Bolt Action or even sci-fi armies in a
desert setting.
Choosing the Colour Scheme & Method
As with any painting project, before you begin you need to have a think about
what paint scheme you'll be using and what methods you're wanting to use. For my
Axis force I've chosen to theme the army on the Neu Afrika Korps
(NDAK), so I'll be basing my paint and camouflage schemes upon those used by the
German Afrika Korps in World War II.
I'm also wanting to incorporate a number of the painting techniques which
I've showcased before in our Gorilla
Tutorials and Flames
of War Fridays. Namely pre-shading, colour modulation, chipping
effects and a whole lot of weathering.

Review by Ben Ruegg
In 2015, I was introduced to Legendary by a friend
with whom I used to play a Marvel collectable card game. Not only did Legendary
introduce me to ‘Modern Board Gaming’, it is a game my wife,
Louise, and I still play a lot. Today, it remains a staple in my collection and
is as exciting and enjoyable as it was three years ago.
Legendary is a deck
building game set in the Marvel universe. You work for S.H.I.E.L.D
and start with a deck of cards made up of S.H.I.E.L.D agents who will help you
fight villains or help you recruit superheroes like Hulk, Captain America and
Iron Man, just to name a few. Working together, you are trying to stop an evil
Mastermind that has a scheme they are trying to accomplish. This Mastermind has
help from villains and henchmen that try and work their way through the city,
wreaking havoc and capturing innocent bystanders along the way. The game ends
when either the players defeat the Mastermind or when the
Mastermind accomplishes their evil scheme. If you win, the
player with the most victory points is the most Legendary of
them all.
