Operation Sting event photos
Ben and I took a ton of pictures at the event. We tried to capture both games in progress and armies on display. Without a doubt, Operation Sting had the highest level of hobby I have seen at a Bolt Action event.
Trenchworx M18 Hellcat
Andrew and I got in on the most recent Kickstarter by Trenchworx, “Tanks on the Western Front“. Andrew ordered a Jagdtiger, Jagdpanther and a Marder III, which he’ll review when he gets them assembled. I had the pleasure of putting together the pair of M18 Hellcats I had ordered and I’ve got to say, these… Read More Trenchworx M18 Hellcat
Operation Sting coverage
Last weekend Ben and I attended Operation Sting. Hosted in Northbook, IL on Nov. 5-6 , this 30 player, two-day tournament is quickly becoming the premier Bolt Action event in the Midwest. Considering Ben and I played a total of ten games over the weekend we will not be doing a full write-up for each game. Instead,… Read More Operation Sting coverage
WIP Wednesday – Death Korps of Krieg
After getting most of the finishing touches done on my Deathwatch army I was eager to get started with a new project, and this time it just absolutely could not be another Space Marine faction. I am a big fan of historical type wargaming and so the Death Korps of Krieg models really jumped out… Read More WIP Wednesday – Death Korps of Krieg
WIP Wednesday – The last Chindit
This week saw me finishing the last of the of the Bolt Action Chindits, the Medic. I now have a main 1250 pt. list with several different build options depending on the game. With Operation Sting just a few days away, I finished this army just in time. With so many other projects on the… Read More WIP Wednesday – The last Chindit
Operation Sting – Chindit platoon fluff
One of the requirements for Operation Sting is a short write up outlining your theme and unit choices. I’ve added my draft below to see what you think. I’d like to get it printed on some parchment paper or something similar and then have it up by the display board during the tournament. I’m sure… Read More Operation Sting – Chindit platoon fluff
WIP Wednesday – Bolt Action USMC
My recent project for Bolt Action has been a force of United States Marines. Andrew and I signed up for several tournaments (Dragonfall and Operation Sting) several months back, and as I had one of the USMC starter army boxes lying around that I still hadn’t assembled, I figured I would run them. I was… Read More WIP Wednesday – Bolt Action USMC
How to paint Bolt Action Chindits
World War II miniatures have the bad habit of ending up us brown models on a brown table. My goal with this project was to create an army that popped and these Chindit miniatures provided me with just that chance. My aim was to use the hats, the backpacks and the bases as three points of… Read More How to paint Bolt Action Chindits
Dragon Fall – Arena Rex and Bolt Action coverage
This past weekend Ben and I attended Dragon Fall in St. Charles, IL. Dragon Fall consisted of multiple events for many games systems. There was a two-day Warhammer 40,000 tournament, X-Wing, 9th Age, Kings of War and a few others over the weekend. For Ben and myself, the main attraction was the Bolt Action Attrition event… Read More Dragon Fall – Arena Rex and Bolt Action coverage
Michigan GT – Bolt Action coverage
This weekend I attended the Michigan GT in Lansing, MI. The event has been going on for a number of years but this was only the second year for Bolt Action. There was a great turnout of 24 players (12 Allies and 12 Axis) and from what I saw, all games were Axis versus Allies… Read More Michigan GT – Bolt Action coverage
