Review – Sarissa Precision Landing Craft

As part of my planned display board for the United States Marine Corps army that I’ve been working on for Bolt Action, I purchased several landing craft from Sarissa Precision.  I purchased two of their Higgins landing craft (designed for personnel) and one of the LCM-3 landing craft (Landing Craft Mechanized, for hauling vehicles around).

WIP Wed….Thursday – USMC

We’re gonna have WIP Wednesday posts going up weekly now. Unfortunately this one got delayed due to thunderstorms in the Chicago area knocking my power out. Gotta love Murphy’s Law.

For my first WIP Wednesday post (calling it WIP Wednesday still even though I’m technically posting on Thursday. No big deal.)  I’ll be showing my (very early work) United States Marine Corps army for Bolt Action by Warlord Games.

Warhammer Quest review incoming!

Andrew has an old copy of Warhammer Quest, and having never played it (but still excited for the upcoming Silver Tower release) we decided to crack it open and give it a shot, and then write reviews of both the old one and the new once we’ve played that to do a bit of comparison.… Read More Warhammer Quest review incoming!

Ben’s 2016 Hobby goals

Following Andrew’s post about his active hobby goals for the 2016 year, it made me think about my own plans and I decided to write up a list of my own. At the moment most of my minis and hobby supplies are packed up in a storage unit until I have a new apartment locked… Read More Ben’s 2016 Hobby goals

Packing up for a move. All of these boxes are either unbuilt models or assembled stuff in foam. And there’s still some more to pack. I have a problem. Oops!

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?? New Painting Guide up on the site (link in bio) - colors used and steps for the lovely BEF from @wargamesatlantic. Big shout-out to @sonicsledgehammer and @chrishindmarsh for the inspiration!
