Partisan bazooka team

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

German Gebirgsjäger

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

You can’t stop the parti

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

WIP Wednesday – Partiboys and US Airborne

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

Warlord Games plastic M18 Hellcat

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

WIP Wednesday – Enter the Partiboys

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

WIP Wednesday- American armor and planning the Partiboys

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

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
