In an effort to reduce duplicate miniatures, my Bolt Action Partisan army contains models from no less than nine different companies. Luckily, Footsore Miniatures has a wide variety of miniatures for Partisans and I picked up the majority of the range: Workers Militia IRA advancing IRA firing IRA with shotguns IRA with pistols Not only is… Read More Footsore IRA and Workers Militia

An integral part of my Adepticon Bolt Action team tournament list is the pair of Rubicon Opel Blitz trucks. After all two of the units in my army list are 12-man, inexperienced squads armed only with pistols. Those two units will not survive a walk across the table into incoming enemy fire so I will… Read More Rubicon Opel Blitz trucks
It’s an understatement to say the Partisan army list has limited anti-tank options. Although the Partisans do have access to a wide range or German and Italian armor, any vehicle must be taken as Inexperienced and suffers from Unreliable. Meaning that any time you want to fire with an armored vehicle you have a -1 To… Read More Partisan bazooka team

I am always on the lookout for interesting Kicstarter campaigns. Heer 46 has launched a campaign for a line of Gebirgsjäger miniatures. Gebirgsjäger are something that not many miniatures companies have. As far as I know only Warlord Games and the excellent Gorgon Studios have Gebirgsjäger available. Gebirgsjäger are another one of those elite German units from… Read More German Gebirgsjäger
In the three weeks since my last WIP Wednesday there has been serious hobby progress on the Partiboys. Not only are 24 models finished (besides basing) but both Rubicon Opel Blitz trucks have been built (one still needs an MG gunner), 52 more Partiboys have been built and primed and the list has been refined… Read More You can’t stop the parti
The past couple weeks haven’t seen a ton of painting or hobbying from me. I’ve been starting up on the Partisans, but definitely lagging behind Andrew, who has been working like a madman! I have a lot of free time coming up in the next week or two though so I should be able to… Read More WIP Wednesday – Partiboys and US Airborne
During the Thanksgiving weekend I assembled a pair of the new plastic M18 Hellcat kits produced by Italeri for Warlord Games. I had already completed and reviewed a pair of the fantastic resin Trenchworx Hellcat kits, and I wanted to write up a comparison of the plastic versus the resin kits for anyone deciding on… Read More Warlord Games plastic M18 Hellcat
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
