I haven’t done a whole lot of hobbying recently. But the other week I got my shipment in from Mad Bob Miniatures in the UK, consisting of a few vehicles I am probably going to use for Operation Sting in November. As I’ve mentioned previously in my 2017 hobby goals post, I plan on revisiting the… Read More WIP – Armor, armor everywhere
Warlord Games heads into new territory with their latest Bolt Action supplement, Campaign: Sea Lion. Unlike the previous Warlord releases that are all rooted in historical events, Sea Lion explores a “what if” scenario, the German invasion of Britain. Although Operation Sea Lion, or Seelöwe, was a real operation, it was planned and resources were allocated, an invasion… Read More Campaign: Sea Lion
This article was written in two parts. The first part was written before I knew whether or not I had won my local store’s Ritual of Judgement, the second was written after I knew what I place I finished and I evaluated the first part of this article and see if my predictions were accurate. Let’s get to… Read More Road to Dallas: Judgement Day
With Adepticon done and gone, and a bit of a break taken from hobbying, I’m ready to get rolling again, and the best way to start that is by planning out the year. As we’ve mentioned before, our hobby yearly schedule tends to revolve around Adepticon, with other tournaments (Such as Operation Sting for Bolt… Read More 2017 Hobby Plans – Ben
Even though it is less than two weeks until the Inner Circle’s Ritual of Judgement, I’m not worried. This week saw a whole slew of components finished up. The best progress by far is my entire Field Artillery pit. I’ve decided due to the uniqueness of each piece, I’ll be entering them as their own unit.… Read More Road to Dallas: Crunch Time
Taking a break last week for Easter Sunday, I return with sizable progress. Infantry continues to be done piece by piece and I project to be finished with time to spare at what is currently the three week marker. One of my biggest achievements has been a custom Great Unlcean One. It’s a behemoth of a… Read More Road to Dallas: In the bog, but not bogged down
One of the groups we follow on Instagram, Small Terrain Scenery, posted a Kickstarter for a collection of resin terrain they are producing. The campaign includes sandbag walls and a bunker. This sort of ‘classic’ fortification terrain is a great staple and would be right at home on many 28mm battlefields. I’ll be using it for Bolt… Read More Take Cover! Sandbag and Rubble Terrain
With Adepticon 2017 done and dusted it’s on to the next set of projects. Now, unlike what I do for Bolt Action, whereI am constantly moving from one army to the next in a never-ending production line, for the next three months, my goal is complete one army for three games. Once the armies are done,… Read More Arena Rex, Blood & Plunder then SAGA
Moving away from rank and file Renegades, this week I focused on my Word Bearers champions, also known as the “Learned Sons”. A vast majority of how I chose to paint these models was inspired by Warhammer TV’s How to paint Word Bearers (Horus Heresy), How to paint Putrid Blightkings and How to paint a Maggoth… Read More Road to Dallas: Learned Sons
The top perk in the Adepticon swag bags this year was a copy of the core box for Fantasy Flight Games’ yet-to-be-release Runewars: The Miniatures Game. Needless to say, I was thrilled. It’s like Chicago Dice got an early review copy! Note that this not a full review, only Ben and my initial thoughts on… Read More Runewars: The Miniatures Game – Warhammer Fantasy meets X-Wing
