Sarissa Precision Far East buildings

  By early September I will have a fully painted Bolt Action British Chindit army. But what good is having a fully painted army if you do not have terrain to go along with it?

Review – Sarissa Precision Landing Craft

As part of my planned display board for the United States Marine Corps army that I’ve been working on for Bolt Action, I purchased several landing craft from Sarissa Precision.  I purchased two of their Higgins landing craft (designed for personnel) and one of the LCM-3 landing craft (Landing Craft Mechanized, for hauling vehicles around).

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.

Absolute chaos on the objective.

 Last night’s Bolt Action game resulted in some extreme close quarters fighting right on top of the objective.

Sarissa Precision Far East buildings

 I went in on a whole Far East village from Sarissa Precision and completed two of the nine buildings in the set. So far, I am very impressed with the kits.

Panzergrenadier moving towards the objective

Had the opportunity to play a team of Bolt Action this week. There is always something special about getting to play a game with fully painted armies on a fully painted table.
