Rolling in the Windy City since 2015

Blog spotlight: HeresyBrush

Last weekend I picked up a copy of PaintingWar Issue 1: WWII German Army. I was looking for some painting guides and ending up discovering much more. Each issue of PaintingWar features multiple tutorials covering one specific era from one painter.

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

WIP Wednesday: US Marines

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.

Review – Warhammer Quest – 1st Edition

When I created my Hobby goals for 2016, I had no idea that Games Workshop would announce Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower just a few weeks after my original post. Needless to say, the resurgence of the 1995 classic dungeon crawler took the gaming community by storm and shot right to the top of my project list.

WIP Wednesday: Bolt Action Chindits

As per my 2016 Hobby Goals, I am aiming to have a Chindits force for next years Adepticon. These are the first five and I am still working out the color scheme. I need to figure out what to do for basing as well.

Breaking news from Warlord HQ - the next Armies of book has been confirmed! "Armies of the Allies & Axis: Third Edition" is the next book slotted for Q1 2027 following "Armies of France". 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??
