In a surprise release, Warlord Games has announced a new two-player Bolt Action Starter Set and unlike the previous two-player boxes, this one is for the Pacific.

Ranks and flanks – we back baby!

Let’s dive right in with my first impressions of CMON’s A Song of Ice & Fire Tabletop Miniatures Game. After two games I’ve got a good feeling about ASOIF: TMG. Leading up the game’s release, the hype was real. I have not been this excited for game in a long time. I am thrilled to report… Read More Ranks and flanks – we back baby!

SeaFall – Two games in…

The hype was real. At GenCon 2016 the game sold out before the doors even opened to the general public. Expectations were high and everyone was talking about SeaFall in hushed, reverent tones.

Bolt Action second edition changes

Beasts of War posted an excellent video covering an entire game of Bolt Action second edition. I’ve combed through the video and compiled all of the second edition changes mentioned in the video. Orders When you assign the Rally order you ignore any pins on the unit when taking the order test. This is a… Read More Bolt Action second edition changes

Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower first impressions

So the other week Andrew and I broke out Silver Tower upon it’s release. We had each bought our own sets, so to speed things up I built heroes from mine and he worked on the Tzeentch guys from his (and then I helped, since there’s a lot more of the Tzeentch than there are… Read More Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower first impressions

Fantastic day of Bolt Action at The Siege of Tobruk tournament. A solid showing for the Chicago Dice crew! Joe and I went a combined 3-2-1 and I managed to snag Best Painted!
Played the timeless classic Diplomacy for the first time. Wow - what a game.
After an almost two month break I'm back at the paint desk! I am attacking these excellent @footsore_miniatures_and_games Late Romans for SAGA. Love how they turned out!
Incredible day of Tank War yesterday! 14 players, 3 games, 1500pts each, Tank Platoons only. It was all-out Armored Apocalypse!
