Hi out there!
my next project is the raid on bruegelburg.
It will be staged in skirmish scale at the Spieletage Bremen, a local board games convention. Traditionally, there is a tabletop gaming room at this con.
This year I will stage some Songs games there just to show people the diversity of our hobby.

As this will be staged with songs of blades and heroes rules, Bruegelburg miniatures will be one of the fractions, dwarves by Ratnik the second, third will be Rackham Orcs. And as I just am starting a new range in my collection:
Beastmen led by a Chaos knight

First picture:
This fell guy happened to be part of the raid on Katzenhain, a town northwest of Bruegelburg. He stole the standard after slaying the town mayor leading the defenders. He did not treat his prize well as anyone can see.

more to come

It's in Bremen, isn't it? I'm in Stuttgart, so it would a bit of a long ride

OK, that's to be considered as a reason.

Nonetheless, here's another one:

This takes me back to the old school Realm of Chaos warbands.

Good luck with the demo game.

I love your interpretation of the steed of Slaanesh - its nice to see one that isn't pink or green! Very nicely done!

Hi again,
thanks for all the kind words!
I don't want tobe boring by posting the 27th picture of relatively equal beastmen. So it's a WIP of snakemen, Ophidian snakes by Rackham. Enjoy:

The story behind these figures is an easy one. I bought them a few years ago, when ebay was something new to me and money wasn't as short as now.
Today the shall be a new songs of blades crew for future games.

Hi folks,
two days of boardgame fair and fierce presentation of tabletop games to interested boardgamers, i.e. newcomers to these games and I still consider the days a full success.

I changed the plan of four full fletched warbands in favor of letting four players do a single HERO and thus encouraging them to play together against the presenting guy.

The story therefor had to be changed too: The heroes are the best men from the Brueghelburg clan in a very distand land called Absurdistan. The clan had been raided by blue mean Kobolds (Orcs) who took three Brueghelburg virgins with them.
The heroes immediately took to the quest and started to pursue the raiding Kobolds.
When the heroes almost reached the Kobolds near Katzenbach, a fierce one eyed river troll challenged the group for a first an rules explaining combat.

After the troll was dispatched, which took mostly about 10 Minutes including explaining SoBaH mechanics, the party took into the village behind the bridge. The greater Ambush there took between 35 and 50 Minutes to play and half of the initial playtesters wanted to try out the main game.
All of them seemed to like the game.

The pictures I took in no particular order:
