Dogs of War

Hey all, here is another set of pics from the museum. Plenty of big dioramas here.





Praetorian Guard?




About 150 or so cavalry, unit strength = huge

Hey all, here is the next set of pics. There is an fairly large Aztec one right below followed by some other historical battle dioramas. Comments welcome!











Knights charging knights - lots of great heraldry!

Hey all, another set of pics from the museum. These are all based off the Nibelungen story which Wagner later transposed into his famous Ring cycle of operas. Comments welcome!

Hey all, another set of pics from the museum. This time there is a large crusades diorama along with a few other good ones. Comments welcome!











Some really cool heraldry on these knights.

So THAT'S how Warhammer fanatics land a regular job! Those displays look truly impressive... and assuming they were done to a historical scale, that's going to be as close to a snapshot of actual history as we can get... unless all the Renaissance reenactors get together to slug out the battle of Agincourt again. It can be all sorts of fun to walk a historical battlefield, imagining the full blown charge/counter-charge, complete with a guide describing the details of the day. Well, if you're a military historical geek, it can be fun.

Thanks

I'll be (re)posting several more sets of pics. Stay tuned.

Some halberds, remember +1S




This was like a 10x12 table

Hey all, another set of pics from the museum. Just a random set this time.



Not really minis, but a cool pair of historical dueling pistols

Hey all, another set of pics from the Plassenburg Museum. This one featurs a massive diorama - I can't recall what battle but I think it was one from the 7 Years War. There are something like 20k minis on this board - not 20k points - this isn't a game - but 20k minis.











How did the Galloper guns get in on this battle?

Hey all, another batch of pics here. This time it's just a few as the next set are all from a gigantic battle diorama that puts other mega battles to shame (something like 30k minis on that). Here we have some medieval knights, a small skirmish and a coach diorama. Comments welcome!



A massive cavalry charge against a rearguard.

Hey all, here is the next set of pics. Some cavalry to start followed by some Roman Coliseum dioramas and then some pics of how they used to make the minis - no expensive molds or sprues here, just an oldfashioned workshop.

Hey all, here is the next batch of pics. These feature some largescale minis, mainly WWI stuff which you can see below and also a small battle featuring some WWI tanks.







Some very very very early Leman Russes or rather Malcadors

Hey all, here is the next set of pics from the museum. This set features some Roman vs Germans and Rome vs Carthage in some quite detailed dioramas.

Time for another set of pics from the museum. These feature a lot of Egyptian stuff and general desert warfare diorams. Some really good painting on these.









These have a some serious detailed painting

Hey all, here we are with the next set which has some excellent dioramas, especially the Egyptian ones!

Hey all, here is the next set which features some really kickass teutonic knights.



An awesome diorama!

Hey all, last set of pics from the museum here and I saved the biggest battle for last. This is apparently one of the if not the biggest historical minis dioramas in the world. It is in fact quite massive easily being something like 20x20. There are literally tens of thousands of minis in this diorama. Unfortunately the lighting wasn't working on the display so the camera flash was the lighting for all of these. Still you can get a good idea of the scope of this diorama. Comments welcome!

Whoa.

That is a lot of painting.

Nice.
