One of the most highly anticipated products from the Deadzone Kickstarter were the new hard plastic Enforcers and Peacekeepers. If you were a backer you will already received yours, but the good news for all Deadzone fans who missed out is that these will be available in retail very soon.
Thanks to the good folks at Mantic Games I've got my hands on a set of each to test out, so lets take a closer look!

Welcome back to another installment of Lessons from the Chief Slave. This time the Chief is looking at one of 2014's best miniatures, Nagash the Supreme Lord of the Undead :
Nagash is a complete beast of model. He can be a bit intimidating when you get started, but if you break him down into set elements you can achieve an amazing effect without using too many tricky techniques.
Following this guide you can achieve a great looking Tabletop Quality Nagash.

After the tournament at Flameson I'd taken a little time out from painting my Dust Tactics miniatures while I worked on some other projects. But with the upcoming Operation Babylon releases due to arrive in a month or two I figured it was time to get stuck into my NDAK force in preparation for some big games.
The first model I chose to work on is the Horten HO-347, which was the first Dust aircraft released for the Axis. This older variant is currently out of print and can be configured as either the tank-hunting Fledermaus III or the Fledermaus IV bomber.
Firstly I did a little bit of cleanup work on the main fuselage of the model, using some liquid green stuff to fill in some of the assembly gaps and sanding back to get smooth curves on the leading edges of the wings.

One of the most frequently asked hobbies question any time of year is what do I need to put together this model kit? And with Christmas on the way there will be heaps of new hobbyists with model kits under the tree.
So we've put together a quick guide to the basic tools and supplies a beginning modeller will need in order to get started building scale models.

The highlight of Flamescon for a number of people, myself included, was the Dust Battlefield tournament held on the second day. Plenty of local hobbyists have been collecting Dust forces this year and with the long wait for the new tactics card decks and templates finally over it was time to really get the games started with New Zealand's first official Dust tournament.
The core of my list is the Heavy Grenadier Platoon; The Panzers and Flak Boys providing huge amounts of anti-infantry and anti-light vehicle fire power, while the Iron Fists give extra versatility with their command actions as well as their own significant damage output. Plus with damage resistance on all these units they can absorb a substantial amount of firepower themselves.
