I like board games and tabletop games, including converting/painting miniatures and building terrain.
Images posted here are mainly about tabletop, because I don't know what to write about board games (except the occasional Essen visit report)

A month has passed since Essen 2024, but finally: here are the images I took and the games I played this year. As every year, I went through all >1000 games in the GeekPreview. It contains about the same number of games as last year (ca. 1230 in each year, I just checked last year’s preview while writing this), but somehow I ended up with nearly twice as much “Must have” and “Interesting” games as 2023. I didn’t expect to play even a fraction of them, given the plan to go to Essen one day alone, and one day with my family. But somehow I managed to play eight(!) games on day one…I think this is my all-time Essen record so far. The whole list is here.
Unboxing Worms - The Board Game
https://analog-gaming.de/posts/2024/09/22/unboxing-worms-the-board-game/
Last winter, I backed Worms - The Board Game on Kickstarter. My package finally arrived this week and today, I unboxed it. This is the Mayhem Pledge - the cheaper one. The only add-on that I bought was the German language pack, because my native language is German.
One year passed, I wrote no new post since my first Essen post, and now it’s October again…Essen time! Like last year, I went for two days, Thursday and Friday. And I went through the complete GeekPreview again and picked a mixture of complex games (for me) and lighter games (playable with kids). I ended up with about 10 “Must have” and way too many “Interested” games. I actually did play eight of them (four each day), and ended up buying all four from day 2.
Enjoy some Mordheim, I did! two games into our new campaign. My Undead warband has returned … and lost a dire wolf and ghoul out of the gate.

Humble Beginnings: the first miniatures I ever painted (ca. 1995)

When I was a teenager in the 90s, a friend of mine owned Battle Masters (or “Die Claymore Saga”, as it was called in German), and we played it many times. Around 1995, the same friend discovered Warhammer 40.000 somewhere, and bought the 2nd edition starter box. I was fascinated by all of this and bought a box of Space Marines and some paints, and built some terrain pieces as well. So here are the first miniatures I ever painted, and the first terrain I ever built:
Gaslands Gates, unpainted

Here are some built (but unpainted) gates for Gaslands, for the “Death Race” scenario. The “posts” on the first picture are from a TTCombat set. (it was called “Gothic Street Accessories” or something like that, but I can’t find it on their website anymore, it seems to be out of print.) The posts on the second one are dowels with some left-over spear tips from Warhammer Skeletons, and the small white tips are broken tines from a comb.
