For Bolt Action Doubles at Adepticon 2017 Ben and I will be running a never-before-seen-team: The Partiboys. What exactly are the Partiboys? Well, simply put, the Partiboys are the hardest hitting, filthiest, most WAC army on the Bolt Action tournament scene. Or not. Partiboys is the affectionate name Ben and I have given our Partisan… Read More WIP Wednesday – Enter the Partiboys
I will now be posting a monthly White Dwarf review as a regular feature on Chicago Dice. I’ll highlight each of the main features from the issue along with a few photos. I’d like to keep these as a running log of the new (current) version of White Dwarf and how it fares month to month.… Read More White Dwarf – December 2016
Unfortunately I have been pretty busy so I knew that I needed to really manage my time to get much done this month. I kept focused on two projects – continuing to get my DKK up in to shape, and painting a single Culexus Assassin. Airbrushing lends itself really well to doing vehicles, and so… Read More WIP Wednesday – Death Korps and Assassins
After many years of halfheartedly displaying my miniatures on dusty bookshelves, I decided to go all in and acquire a proper display case. Once I had completed a bit of research I pulled the trigger on the Ikea Detolf, This glass-door cabinet is perfect for displaying anything and the $20 upgrade for LED lights was… Read More Ikea Detolf display case extra shelves upgrade
Not a huge update this week for me. We received our kits from the Trenchworx Kickstarter campaign last week, from which I received a pair of M18 Hellcat tank destroyers. I reviewed the kits in an article on Sunday. I’ve got a tank-hunter bundle on the way from Warlord in which I’ll be getting a pair… Read More WIP Wednesday- American armor and planning the Partiboys
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.
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
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
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
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
