Suske en Wiske in het Kort 34: Spruiten voor Sprotje

Gepost op 28 juni 2022 te 16:59.

Ook dit jaar komen weer tien albums uit in de reeks Suske en Wiske in het Kort. Die bestaat uit korte verhalen die de voorbije decennia voor allerlei instanties of commerciële doeleinden werden getekend en geschreven of die enkel als luxe-uitgave in albumvorm raakten gepubliceerd. In de albums van dit jaar dateren de meeste verhalen uit de periode van Paul Geerts. Luc Morjaeu ontwierp als vanouds tien nieuwe covers.

Lefranc 33: Het Ares-schandaal

Gepost op 28 juni 2022 te 16:59.

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

Het scenario van dit Lefranc-verhaal is naar een oorspronkelijke synopsis van Jacques Martin. Voor hij stierf had hij voor diverse van zijn reeksen heel wat synopsissen en ideeën genoteerd die na zijn dood af en toe gebruikt werden voor een verdere uitwerking door andere scenaristen. Zo ook voor deze drieëndertigste Lefranc ter gelegenheid van zijn zeventigste verjaardag.

“In de Parijse brasserie Lipp, luisteren Lefranc en Bruno, zijn redactiedirecteur, naar het verhaal van Marlène. Zij is een jonge Duitse vrouw die net de oorlogsverhalen van haar vader heeft gevonden. In juni 1940 werd de tankcolonne van Karl von Lieds door twee mysterieuze vliegtuigen vernietigd. Als enige overlevende van de aanval werd de officier overgeplaatst naar het Oostfront waar hij enkele maanden later overleed. Geen enkel onderzoek bracht iets aan het licht over de twee vliegtuigen. De Duitse hiërarchie wilde de zaak in de doofpot stoppen. Maar nu de jonge vrouw de brieven van haar vader heeft ontdekt, is zij vastbesloten de zaak op te helderen.”

Chick Bill integraal 13

Gepost op 28 juni 2022 te 16:58.

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

Deze 256 pagina’s dikke integrale bundelt alle Kidordinneries, komische kortere verhalen met Kid Ordinn in een glansrol, waarvan er één verhaal nooit in album is verschenen. Het dossier gaat dieper in op deze Kidordinneries. Hierna verschijnen nog twee integrales. In deel 14 zullen niet eerder in het Nederlands verschenen verhalen staan. In deel 0 zullen de prille verhalen samengebracht worden waarin de personages nog dieren waren, samen met nooit eerder in album uitgebrachte of speciale gags en korte verhalen.

“Wood City zou een stadje zonder verhalen zijn, mochten haar sheriff Dog Bull en diens adjudant Kid Ordinn er niet geweest zijn. Dog Bull is impulsief, ijdel, ontzettend te kwader trouw. hij misbruikt vaak de macht die zijn ster met zich meebrengt. Volstrekt toegewijd aan zijn baas, is Kid Ordinn aandoenlijk naïef en een onverbeterlijke klungelaar. Er is geen groter verschil tussen hen beiden, maar de een kan niet zonder de ander. Het succes van hun waanzinnige gekibbel bracht Tibet er regelmatig toe hen op te voeren in middellange verhalen. De twee onafscheidelijke vrienden van Chick Bill zijn zelf de hoofdrolspelers in deze Kidordinneries geworden. In deze hilarische integrale zijn ze alle verzameld.”

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

“Ze zijn klein, knalgeel en houden van bananen. Sinds Verschrikkelijke Ikke zijn de Minions een fenomeen. Sterren van de absurde humor en kampioenen in klunzigheid. Na een reis door de tijd en de ruimte verlaten ze hun schip en hun laboratorium om wat aan lichaamsbeweging te doen. De Minions ontdekken sport, al werken ze toch vooral op de lachspieren. Ze zitten bomvol energie, maar op de Olympische Spelen hebben ze voorlopig weinig te zoeken…”

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

The ash wastes of Necromunda are an unforgiving environment, utterly deadly for those who can’t take shelter from the toxic storms and rabid fauna. Gangs that operate in the Great Equatorial Wastes, and the Ash Waste Nomads who call them home, use Thatos Pattern Hab Modules for protection and communication. The largest of these structures are the Extended Hab Modules, which are often claimed by the most important gang members and reserved as a base of operations.

– Glueless assembly for ladders and roof, allowing you to adjust your build to suit your gaming needs
– Stilts that can be built in two different heights
– A variety of build options for closed and open doors
– Options including stowage, cabling, antennas, and a skylight
– Fully detailed interior, visible when removing the roof to maneuver models inside

The Extended Hab Module is fully compatible with all other Thatos Pattern terrain kits, allowing you to build, rearrange, and expand a modular settlement or gang headquarters suited to battlefields, scenarios, and campaigns of any shape or size – multiple Extended Hab Modules can even be combined to create towers of different sizes. There’s no need to limit yourself to Necromunda, either – this terrain is also ideal for use in games of Kill Team and Warhammer 40,000.

This set comprises 122 plastic components. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints. Note that some components are intended to be assembled without glue.

War Dog Karnivores

Gepost op 27 juni 2022 te 11:54.

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

War Dog-class Knights act as hunting packs for their Dread Household. Armed with an eclectic array of weaponry, these nimble combat walkers range ahead of the terrible shadow cast by larger Knights, picking off enemy outriders and guarding the flanks of their colossal masters. Among these vicious engines, War Dog Karnivores revel in causing bloody confusion and despair, and eschew more potent ranged weapons to seek the visceral thrill that only close-quarters slaughter provides.

This multipart plastic kit builds two War Dog-class Knights – any combination of War Dog Karnivores, War Dog Stalkers, or War Dog Brigands. War Dog Karnivores are a monstrous Lords of War choice that can provide deadly melee support to your Chaos Knights army – or be taken as a wandering Dreadblade pack for other Chaos forces. Armed with an infantry-shredding reaper chaintalon and an armour-breaking slaughterclaw, Karnivores are also equipped with your choice of a carapace-mounted diabolus heavy stubber or havoc multi-launcher. Each War Dog Karnivore can be further customised with a variety of articulated poses, armour plating, and unique faceplates and accessories, with their large carapaces making them a perfect painting project.

This kit comprises 220 plastic components, and is supplied with 2x Citadel 100mm Round Bases. Also included is a War Dogs transfer sheet featuring 238 runes, sigils, and iconography for various Dread Households. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Knight Abominant

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

Seen as especially blessed by the Dark Gods, the Knights Abominant are suffused with the power of the warp. They unleash this eldritch force in deadly waves, corrupting and mutating those nearby, and incinerating distant foes with blasts of volkite energy. In combat they thrash coiling, warp-wrought appendages, crushing anything that remains untainted.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Knight Abominant, a titanic Lords of War choice for your Chaos Knights army – or a wandering Dreadblade for your other Chaos armies. This super-heavy walker is armed with a volkite combustor and writhing electroscourge, as well as a swinging balemace tail and a carapace-mounted diabolus heavy stubber. The Knight Abominant towers over most models on the tabletop, monstrous tusks jutting forward as avian pterrorshades perch atop its hull, and makes for a fantastic painting project. It offers a huge degree of customisation, with detailed components such as vicious faceplates and optional chains, pipes, spikes, and horns allowing you to create a truly unique engine of malice.

This kit can also be assembled as a Knight Abominant or Knight Rampager – any remaining weapons, faceplates, or accessories can be used as spares for your other Knight kits.

This kit comprises 176 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 170mm Oval Base. Also included is a Chaos Knights transfer sheet featuring 339 runes, sigils, and iconography various Dread Households.

Codex: Chaos Knights

Gepost op 27 juni 2022 te 11:46.

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

With the thunderous tread of gargantuan feet and the booming roar of cannon fire, lances of Chaos Knights charge into their terrified foes. They are demigods of death, wrought in iron, bludgeoning forward under storm clouds of dread and misery. Loping War Dogs hunt foes like giant hounds, while their hulking, abhorrent masters pound and cleave their victims into ruin. These monolithic war suits tower over their enemies, walking engines of tyranny armed with deadly weapons capable of obliterating even the most durable of opposition.

They are piloted by hate-filled Fallen Nobles, connected to their titanic steeds via the arcane neural links of their Throne Mechanicum. Most of these cruel pilots hail from corrupted dread houses – courts of infamy bent on dominion in the name of the Chaos Gods. Others fight as masterless Dreadblades, blighting the galaxy as lone paragons of torment. Where once they defended Mankind as noble champions of honour, Chaos Knights now spread death and despair wherever they march.

This comprehensive book is a must-have for those who play and collect the dread harbingers known as the Chaos Knights, as well as those who entice a Dreadblade Knight to serve in their Chaos armies. It provides all the rules to play a Chaos Knights army – including Dread Households, the Favour of the Dark Gods, and the terrible powers of the Warp Storm – and contains a substantial lore section so that you can learn all about the corruption of the once-chivalric Knight Households, the nature of their vile mechanical steeds, and the devastating armaments they bring to bear in battle.

Inside this 112-page hardback book, you’ll find:

– In-depth background on the Chaos Knights, the Iconoclast and Infernal Knight Houses, and the perfidious Dreadblades
– Detailed artwork of the devastation wrought by these Fallen Nobles and their apocalyptic steeds, as well as the icons of their most feared Houses
