Er|oberung noun. f (lit, fig) conquest

Eroberung details Marquis’s various hobby-related shenanigans (most notably tabletop wargaming), serves as a repository of associated short stories and narratives, and is a general blog for Marquis’s misanthropic and machiavellian musings (often including diabolical political diatribes and obtuse observations about life as an Englishman abroad).

A seething mass of barely repressed megalomania, egocentric frivolity, anachronistic sophistication, unbridled eloquence and harsh self-loathing, Marquis resides in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) in Germany, has also been sighted in Bayern (Bavaria) in full Tracht, and can frequently be found returning to England and his native Suffolk.

He has been an avid wargamer (or ‘warmonger’) since the age of ten, following a downward spiral that began with Plastic Army Men, Castle Lego, and Airfix kits in the 1980s. Since then he has amassed vast armies of (unpainted) miniatures across a multitude of systems, but still has an enduring love of Games Workshop’s particular brand of plastic crack.

However, before Ullis Temeter and his ill-fated companions stormed the centre stage, Eroberung was originally intended as the central hub for information concerning the science fiction novel Memoirs of Conquest, featuring the collected reminiscences of the famed miliphage, Servatesh and his account of Ubiquity’s conquest of Earth. This detailed retelling of the fall of the house of man was offset and interwoven with the disjointed testament of the infamous human janissary known as Mark Graf. That project, however, is still simmering away…

“I prevail.“
