The models are from Warlord Games (two Hellcats), Rubicon Models (Jeeps and the Greyhound), and Trenchworx (everything else, including 3D printed Bazookas, crew, and… Read More Battle of the Bulge – Tank Destroyer Platoon
The Eternal Crusader – Part III
New year, same old me! My entry into 2021 saw my hobby ADD running rampant, with short forays back into Bolt Action fiddling with some concept armies and organizing my collections, followed by a few attempts to solve my black Power Armor woes that didn’t pan out as I had hoped.

Smoke Markers
When coming up with our 2019 theme for Adepticon Bolt Action Doubles, we decided to run a horde of Inexperienced American soldiers supported by equally Inexperienced armor. There was an overall theme of North Africa as a sort of event-within-an-event, and we chose to represent those first American units getting involved in the war, when… Read More Smoke Markers
