Het Offscreen Film Festival, het jaarlijkse rendez-vous voor liefhebbers van onalledaagse en ongewone cinema, kondigt zich iets vroeger aan dan u van ons gewoon bent. Van9 tot en met 27 februari 2011 richten wij voor de 4de keer de schijnwerpers op nieuw werk van onafhankelijke filmmakers, zeldzame cult klassiekers en offbeat genres van over de hele wereld. Films, kortom, met een hoek af. Elk jaar presenteren we een kleine selectie avant-premières, waaronder openingsfilm Rubber van Quentin Dupieux en de nieuwste van minimalistisch animatiefilmer Phil Mulloy, Goodbye Mr Christie, die hij zelf van een inleiding komt voorzien. Eregast is Amerikaans regisseur Monte Hellman, één van Hollywood’s meest cryptische figuren. In zijn wel heel atypische carrière als filmmaker heeft hij zich een klein, maar briljant en consistent oeuvre bijeengefilmd. Zijn bekendste en kritisch meest gerenommeerde film is Two-lane Blacktop (1971) die Cinematek op een nieuwe kopij uitbrengt. Ook zijn ‘acid west

Blood Angels upgrade

Afbeelding
The Blood Angels are one of the most popular Space Marine Chapters. They fought at the Emperor's side during the earliest days of the Imperium as one of the original Legions. Ten thousand years later, and one of the longest-running Chapters, they are still shaped by the deeds of their Primarch Sanguinius. Few Space Marine Chapters are as prolific and loyal in their defence of the Imperium as the Blood Angels, though a flaw in their gene seed makes them susceptible to the Black Rage and the Red Thirst - all-consuming curses that turn them savage and blood-thirsty in battle... In February 2011, the Blood Angels will receive more reinforcements, including never-before-seen models - visit the website for more information from the Studio in their Incoming! article. If you want to start massing your own Angelic Host, or are looking to bolster your troops, then here are some essential items to prepare for the new arrivals in February.

Space Marines MkIV Ironclad Dreadnoughts

Afbeelding
The latest addition to our range of MkIV Dreadnoughts is the siege specialist MkIV Ironclad Dreadnought, MkIV Hurricane Bolter, MkIV Seismic Hammer and MkIV Chainfist. These full-resin kits, designed by Phil Stutcinskas, afford Space Marine players the complete range of Codex options for the Ironclad Dreadnought. Heavily augmented and outfitted for siege assault and ship boarding actions, the Ironclad Dreadnought sacrifices versatility and long-range firepower for even greater armoured defence and dedicated siege weaponry such as the Seismic Hammer and Chainfist, designed to pulverize the toughest bastion or armoured bulkhead into twisted wreckage. The fearsome short-ranged firepower of a Hurricane Bolter is often used to augment the Ironclad's firepower, allowing the ancient hero within the sarcophagus to saturate breached defences with a deadly storm of bolter shells. The MkIV Ironclad Dreadnought is a full-resin kit that comes complete with Hunter Killer Missiles and Frag Assa

Space 1889: Red Sands is now shipping. Books will be at distributors on Monday, November 29, and select retailers will have them available the following day. Pre-orders are shipping now, with most North American orders expected to be delivered early next week. Since Thomas Edison first explored the worlds with the help of his marvelous ether propeller, the British Empire has grown to include the red plains and stately canals of Mars, the steaming, dinosaur-infested swamps of Venus, and even a remote outpost in the twilight zone of Mercury. In 1889, the sun truly never sets on the British Empire! But deep inside the Empire, a core of revolt festers and grows. Martian cults cry out for the Earthling's expulsion. Britain teeters at the edge of war with the Oenotrian Empire. In the midst of seething turmoil, the being known only as Kronos siezes the technology of a forgotten race to threaten the very future of mankind. Steampunk RPG'ing at it's best! Space 1889: Red Sands
