Black Library: Time limited Horus Heresy White Scars book
Greetings, bookworms!
Now this info here does not really have anything to do with painting miniatures - at least not directly. The Black Library is both trying to optimize their printing process as well as tackle the problem that many people where not able to buy limited books at all as they sold out very, very quickly.
With the "Brotherhood of the storm" - a white scars novella, Black Library is not limiting the amount of books printed. It is limiting the time that you can order the book. A very clever move in my opinion.

Euromilitaire 2012 Coverage
Since the Euromilitaire 2012 and the Games Day 2012 fell on the same day, I had to make a tough call and finally ended up going to the Games Day. Next year it is going to be Folkstone for sure ;)
I would like to point you to one of my subscriber's blog: Rafa Coll's Blog where he has an extensive library of posts and pictures from this awesome event. Make sure you look at previous posts, too - right now there are 10 posts concerning the Euromilitaire with many awesome pictures of even more awesome miniatures.
Thanks Rafa for your posts! Love 'em ;)
P.S.: If you have pictures/blog entries/vids from the Euromilitaire 2012 and would like to share them, please leave a comment with the below - I will then "advertize" them here, too ;)
Update: *new* Marta's Blog
Update: *new* Marta's Blog
Da die Euromilitaire 2012 und der Games Day UK 2012 dieses Jahr auf den gleichen Tag fielen, musste ich eine harte Entscheidung treffen, die mich letztlich zum GD UK geführt hat. Nächstes Jahr ist aber mit Sicherheit Folkstone dran ;)
Ich würde euch gerne mal auf ein Blog eines Subscribers aufmerksam machen: Rafa Coll's Blog hat eine große Anzahl von Posts und Bildern von der Euromilitaire. Guckt euch auch seine älteren Posts an - im Moment sind 10 posts von der Euromilitaire zu sehen, mit schicken Bildern von noch schickeren Miniaturen.
Vielen Dank an Rafa für seine Posts! Großartig! ;)
P.S.: Wenn ihr auch Bilder/Blogeinträge/Videos von der Euromilitaire 2012 habt und diese teilen wollte, schreibt bitte einen Kommentar mit dem Link - Ich werde diese dann auch hier "bewerben" ;)
200th subscriber giveaway - winner
Greetings my colorful friends!
The last couple of days have been quite a crazy and exciting ride...
Since the Games Day UK 2012 report the blog basically exploded. We got almost 10000 views in the last week alone - that is as unbelieveable as it is incredibly motivating for a young blog like this.
So thank you all for your support! It motivates us to do bigger and better things yet ;)
Yesterday, we surpassed the 200 subscriber mark. As a matter of fact, we are at 253 (!) right now. Mindblowing!
I promised, that there would be a giveaway for the 200th subscriber - and there was. Among all of the 253 of you I randomly (using random.org) determined the winner of this contest, the chances being 1 in 253 ;)
So without further ado: the winner is....

Boredom?
“Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.”
(Terry Pratchett)
200th subscriber miniature giveaway! Today?
Greetings, Brushlickers!
WOW! When I started the Forge World Angron Giveaway yesterday (you can still register till October 7th for your chance to win!) I did not really think about the fact that this campaign might bring the subscriber count to over 200.
But it will. And you will have to act FAST.
I promised that I would give away a 200 subscriber miniature when that happens - and of course I will hold true to that! Everyone that has registered on the day on which we break the 200 subscriber barrier or before has a chance to win this miniature.

Pre-GD-Dinner UK
Greetings all,
Games Day UK 2012 - Pre-GD-Dinner. I was there the day the legend began.
Sue from Platoon Britannica invited painters to a pre-Games Day dinner at the Little Owl close to the NEC exhibition center.
After Google send Maz, Billy and me to where it thought the restaurant was, we had to find a cab to rescue us :D
But the pub then made up for getting lost in the middle of railroads, roads and carparks... The company was lovely, the food was terrific and the beer yummy :)
It was a great evening with great people and great food. Maybe we will see YOU there, too, next year?

Sue von Platoon Britannica hat Maler aus der ganzen Welt zum Pre-Games Day-Dinner in der "Little Owl" nahe dem NEC exhibition center eingeladen.
Nachdem Google Maz, Billy und mich dahin geschickt hat, wo seiner Ansicht nach das Restaurant wäre, brauchten wir ein Taxi um uns zu retten.
Als wir dann im Pub ankamen, waren die Strapazen in der Mitte von Eisenbahnen, Straßen und Parkplätzen verloren zu sein, schnell vergessen. Die Gruppe war super-nett, das Essen war großartig und das Bier nomnomnomig. :)
Vielleicht kommst DU nächstes Jahr auch?

GD UK 2012 PREVIEW - Stay tuned!
Only three more days until Games Day 2012! I am going and - I can't wait!
As with the German GD this year, I will be reporting from the UK event. Unlike the German GD coverage, I have invested heavily in some video and photo equipment.
If things go well (and my eye-fi WLAN memory card arrives here in time) the pictures will be uploaded to the blog as soon as they are taken. Honestly, after reading about all the problems with these cards, I don't expect it to work this smoothly. But then again, NEC Birmingham has free WLAN, so maybe I can fall back on that to give you pictures and videos HOT off the press ;) We shall see.
Expect a LOT of photos of all relevant Golden Demon entries, videos of the Award Ceremony as well as coverage about anything else that is going on there.
So stay tuned to this blog - and if you don't want to miss anything or be the last to know: SUBSCRIBE :) It would make my day! :P
Nur noch drei Tage bis zum Games Day 2012! Ich gehe hin und - ich kann es kaum erwarten!
Wie vom Deutschen Games Day werde ich auch vom UK GD berichten. Anders als beim Deutschen GD habe ich aber diesmal richtig in Video- und Photoausrüstung investiert.
Wenn alles gut läuft (und meine eye-fi WLAN Speicherkarte rechtzeitig ankommt) werden die Bilder aufs Blog hochgeladen, sobald sie geschossen werden. Wenn ich ehrlich bin, glaube ich nach dem Lesen über all die Probleme mit der Karte, dass es nicht so rund laufen wird. Aber anscheinend gibt es im NEC Birmingham kostenloses WLAN, auf das ich ggf. zurückgreifen kann, um euch Bilder und Video frisch aus der Presse zu liefern. Wir werden sehen ;)
Erwartet VIELE Fotos von allen Golden Demon Beiträgen, Videos von der Preisverleihung sowie Berichterstattung über alles andere, was auf dem GD UK so los ist.
Also: dranbleiben am Blog! Wenn ihr nichts verpassen wollt - oder die letzten, die es erfahren: FOLGT dem Blog :) Würde mir den Tag versüßen :P
Music - grab that brush and paint!
I keep coming back to this song for a couple of weeks now. I have it on heavy rotation in my studio - its inspiring, driving, motivating.
I hope you enjoy it as well :) Grab that brush!
Do you have inspirational music that you like to listen to while painting? Post in the comments below!

Games Workshop: WHITE DWARF reborn?
Greetings, y'all!
Interesting news on the Games Workshop front... Apparently, GW has decided to revitalize their own monthly hobby magazine "White Dwarf" which has become increasingly boring in the last couple of years.
Some claim it to be the "most expensive advertising flyer" in the world and very few people I know actually subscribe or even read the magazine. I subscribed only because I have them all starting from issue #1 and I want to keep the collection complete. You know - it's what men do.
Out of town till monday!
Greetings my most excellent painters!
Starting today, I will be at the "Edersee Painters Meeting XXL" - a painters meeting organized by users of the German form das-bemalforum.de. Around 30 painters from all over Germany will attend this year - we rented a house at a youth hostel resort at picturesque Ederse. The meeting will take place for the 5th time. After missing the last two years due to my stay in Japan I am really looking forward to enjoying a weekend of nerdism.
And endless grillin' and chillin' ;)
If technically possible, I will report "live" from the event - if not, expect a big article full of magic and excitement on Monday ;)
And please light a candle for the new mainboard I bought on ebay - I pray it works. I need my fast PC back :D

Ab heute werde ich beim "5. Maltreffen am Edersee, XXL Edition" verweilen. Ein Maltreffen, das von Mitgliedern des deutschen Forums das-bemalforum.de veranstaltet wird. 30 Maler aus ganz Deutschland nehmen dieses Jahr wieder teil - wir haben ein ganzes Haus einer Jugendherberge am malerischen Edersee gemietet. Das Treffen findet zum 5. Mal statt. Nachdem ich die letzten zwei Jahre durch meinen Japanaufenthalt nicht dabei war, freue ich mich, dieses mal wieder mitnerden zu können.
Grillin' and Chillin' wird das Motto sein ;)
Wenn technisch möglich, werde ich "live" von dem Event berichten. Wenn nicht, könnt ihr euch auf einen Riesen-Artikel am Montag freuen.
Und bitte zündet eine Kerze für mein auf Ebay gekauftes Mainboard an - Ich hoffe es funktionert: Ich brauche dringend wieder nen schnellen PC ;)

New Forgeworld "Magma Dragon"
GW's communication department is somewhat out of sync with Forgeworld this week.
On the little read "whats new today" from Games Workshop, they announced a new Forge World "miniature" - its more a maxiature - available on the FW website.
Of course, on the FW website there is nothing to be found about this. Maybe its even a mistake, as FW just announced their (sorry) horrible Incarnate Element of Fire - who knows.
So let's see, how long it will take them to be back in sync... Until then - here are the pictures of the new "Magma Dragon":

GW's Marketing-Abteilung ist nicht ganz synchron mit der von Forge World.
In dem wenig gelesenen "Was gibts heute neues" von Games Workshop wurde eine neue Forge World Miniatur - eigentlich eher Maxiatur - als bestellbar bei FW angekündigt.
Natürlich ist auf der FW Webseite nichts davon zu finden ;) Vielleicht ist es auch ein Fehler, denn Forgeworld hat nahezu zeitgleich ihr (sorry) fürchterliches incarnate element of fire Schauen wir also, wie lange es dauert, bis die beiden wieder in sync sind... Bis dahin - hier sind die Bilder des neuen "Magma Dragon".

Intermission - Roberto Chaudon
I know, I know... Second day without content ;) Well, kinda...
Yesterday I tried having my "main" PC fixed - but its officially dead and a new one is in order. Its not nice when an i7 3.2GHz PC walks into the light... And expensive.
On a much brighter note, I acquired some great and rather rare prizes for the next giveaways - more on this subject when the time is right...
We have a very special treat planned for all of you for late November- and I was preparing for that all day today. So the promised Tutorial Tuesday video which was already postponed till Thursday might not come out until tomorrow. ;)
But I have a treat for you here: Roberto Chaudon has released a video on the sculpts he has done in the last years. I am sure you will find some of the miniatures he did are in your possession, too. I myself found 5 miniatures that I own that had been sculpted by him - one even painted! :)
So stay tuned and enjoy the content free break with some free content: ^^
Ich weiß, ich weiß... Zweiter Tag ohne echten neuen Inhalt... Oder so...
Gestern habe ich versucht, meinen Haupt-PC reparieren zu lassen - aber der ist nun offiziell komplett tot und ein neuer muss her. Nicht schön, wenn ein i7 3,2GHz Rechner die Flügel streckt... Und teuer.
Aber dafür habe ich ein paar sehr coole und vor allem seltene Preise für die nächsten Verlosungen organisieren können - dazu gibt's dann mehr, sobald es soweit ist...
Für Ende November habe ich was ganz spezielles für euch geplant - und das musste ich heute den ganzen Tag schon mal einstielen... Das bereits auf Donnerstag verschobene Tutorial Tuesday Video muss daher wohl bis morgen warten ;)
Nichts desto trotz habe ich ein Leckerchen für euch: Roberto Chaudon hat ein Video der Sculpts, die er in den letzten Jahren gemacht hat auf Youtube gestellt. Ihr werdet feststellen, dass die eine oder andere gezeigte Mini in eurem Besitz sein könnte - ich selber habe 5 Miniaturen gefunden, die ich besitze und eine davon ist sogar bemalt! :)
Also bleibt dran und genießt die inhaltsfreie Zeit mit einigen freien Inhalten:
4am - the night is full of color
4am - the night is full of color
4 Uhr morgens - die Nacht ist voll Farbe

And the winner is...
Deutscher Text im Anhang
Good morning - or rather good day ;)
After a good nights rest and a great breakfast I am now prepared to announce the winner of the 100 subscriber giveaway appropriately...
Before I do that, let me thank each and every one of you for subscribing to this blog. We had 104 subscribers by midnight last night. I have great plans for this blog for the months to come and I think that being a subscriber will be well worth your time ;)
Last night, using random.org as a random number generator again, I determined who won the 100 subscriber giveaway. So, without further ado let me introduce the winner to you!
100th subscriber winner determined...
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!
That is the good news. The bad news is that it is 2 am in the morning and after two nights with almost no sleep I am to tired to make an appropriately fancy post ;) I can hardly hit the right keys to write this here ;)
I shall disclose the winner's name as soon as I get up again, some time later this morning - so stay tuned! I hope the suspense caused by the intense levels of anticipation is not negatively impacting the flow of your day... :P
Good night - until later!
Meine Damen und Herren, wir haben einen Gewinner!
Das ist die gute Nachricht. Die schlechte ist, dass es jetzt 2 Uhr morgens ist und ich nach zwei Tagen fast ohne Schlaf zu müde bin einen angemessen aufwendigen Post zu machen ;) Ich treffe kaum die richtigen Tasten, um das hier zu tippen ;)
Ich werde den Gewinner bekanntgeben, sobald ich wieder aufwache - irgendwann später heute morgen - also dranbleiben! Ich hoffe, dass die Spannung die durch die intensive Erwartungshaltung hervorgerufen wird, den Fluss eures Tages nicht zu sehr beeinträchtigt :P
Gute Nacht - und bis gleich!

100 subscriber giveaway tonight!
Partytime!
Checking my blog while being on a short trip until tuesday night, I was excited to find out that today we have reached 100 subscribers!

Painter's Horoscope - September 2012
Aries / Widder
Mars has left Aries' house of couples, where it didn't really make a happy pair with Saturn. That being said, the later half of September will bring you clarity. You will suddenly understand techniques you never dreamed of. Your color is blue. You will be, too, as you realize your insight comes too late for a big event. |
Taurus / Stier The ruler of your sign, Venus, will overflow with passion in Leo, the Sun will burn in your house of sensuality, and Mars will "play with fire" in your house of couples! In Short: You are on fire, dude! Your color is soooooo red. End of September there is a chance to go down in a blaze of glory. |
Gemini / Zwillinge Venus in Leo makes September 2012 your favorite: You feel strongly connected to communication, trips and information. You should visit at least one miniature event or workshop this month - great things will come from it. Maybe even l.o.v.e.? Your color is yellow. |
Cancer / Krebs September will bring unexpected income for you! You'll do as well when it comes to intellectual, commercial or creative-artistic matters. Ebay calls you. However, all will come with a taste of disappointment - is there more to painting than this? Your color is dark green. |
Leo / Löwe On September 6th 2012, Venus will step into Leo. It'll be by your side until October 3rd, in which period it'll spoil you with its precious gifts. You will fall in love with something new. But you must search the new first! You will do very well in group events this month. Your color is Shiny Silver. |
Virgo / Jungfrau Because the Sun and Mercury (which is the ruler of Virgo) are in your sign, your personality and physical advantages will be highly marked. Your appetite for fame will be satisfied. You must finish a competition miniature this month and victory will sure be yours. Your colors are purple with golden stars. |
Libra / Waage Both Venus and Mars will be in stable positions that don't foreshadow too many changes for you. If you are a great painter, thats cool. If not, it sucks. But longlasting success will come from international corporations and trips abroad. Your colors are dried up. Buy new ones. | Scorpio / Skorpion Mars in Scorpio will motivate and energize you. In September 2012 you'll focus on your profession, have clear objectives, energy, ambition and initiative. If you pull things together, a big event at the end of September or the beginning of October will turn out fantastic. Your colors are blue and orange. |
Sagittarius / Schütze You'll be very enthusiastic, but not in a top shape as far as painting is concerned. Take a step back and take a deep long breath before you ruin your work with over-eagerness. Beware of sharp modelling knives. Beware of tweezers. Beware of pointy things in general. Beware of.... ah, just be careful, get it? Your colors are white and red-orange. | Capricorn / Steinbock September 2012 will finally be the last month that Saturn will spend in Libra, meaning the last month of hard work, obstacles and constraints in painting. Jupiter already has some big plans for you. At the end of September, pick up your brush. And dont stop painting until your fingers bleed! Your colors are waiting for you. |
Aquarius / Wasserman You'll be the most fortunate painter of the zodiac in September 2012! You feel the need to test your skill in a competition - maybe even a one-on-one battle of the brushes! Everything you do will turn out fantastic. You can choose any color you want, you lucky bastard! The stars said so! |
Pisces / Fische Things stay the way they are - and you are happy with it. Challenging yourself might get you out of your comfort zone. Try something you have never tried before. A freehand. Oils. Crazy bases. Your colors are grey. All of them. You should REALLY challenge yourself. |
