Sarissa Precision Far East buildings

 I went in on a whole Far East village from Sarissa Precision and completed two of the nine buildings in the set. So far, I am very impressed with the kits.

Panzergrenadier moving towards the objective

Had the opportunity to play a team of Bolt Action this week. There is always something special about getting to play a game with fully painted armies on a fully painted table.

Breaking news from Warlord HQ - the next Armies of book has been confirmed! "Armies of the Allies & Axis: Third Edition" is the next book slotted for Q1 2027 following "Armies of France". First squad of Soviet Bloc infantry ready for basing! The objective was to complete the unit as quickly as possible using Contrast / Speed Paint / Xpress and I am thrilled with the results. The next three Bolt Action releases. Any guesses for Q1 2027? Armies of the Allies? China? A massive Partisan book??
