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: ^^

Roberto's Blog

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...

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!

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.
