Bolt Action: Germany 'MG42 Medium Machine Gun Team'

It has been a little while since I last painted a model for Bolt Action (about 10 days), which if you can tell from my posts this year, that is a long time.  With having three fully painted armies now for Bolt Action, the painting has slowed and the gaming has increased.  At the end of next...

X-Wing: Firespray-131 x2

Well the majority of our X-Wing models probably belong to my son, but when I get into a game, I go all in.  After playing a 2 YT-1300 list the other day, I thought to myself, "ok, what can I do with the Imperial counterpart".  So after searching for some Firespray-131 lists, I found that...

After our game of X-Wing yesterday morning, it was time to throw down some Bolt Action.  After reading a battle report from AdeptiCon on the Bolt Action tournament and seeing a min/max Soviet Union army with two tanks, I thought to myself  'I'd like to see if I have the models for a cheese...

Battle Report: 4/11/2014 X-Wing

Han really does not always shoot first! Friday night after my son got home from work we decided to throw down a late night game of X-Wing.  Being a bit more familiar with the rules and since it was pretty late, we decided to elect to play with the 75 minute clock per the tournament rules. I...

Bolt Action: Germany 'Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf C (Hanomag)'

"Few vehicles are as instantly identifiable as the Sd.Kfz 251, or Hanomag as it was also know.  Combining speed, protection and firepower, it ensured the infantry would break through to take and hold enemy positions.  Its cross-country performance was much better than any truck and enabled...

Bolt Action: Soviet Union 'ISU-122/152 Tank 201'

Saturday was all about painting the 'big' stuff.  As you know I completed a ZiS-3 76mm Divisional Gun, but I also had worked on a few vehicles too.  When the ZiS-3 arrived from Warlord, the ISU-122 I also ordered, arrived at the same time.  I waited until Saturday to get started on...
