I know everyone’s always on about the perfect shade or paint for a specific faction but cmon, so many different dyes plus weathering, just go with what looks good or close enough

Here's the pictures this time, since I didn't upload them. Ha enjoy.

So a little while ago I posted about my parents and how they’ve dived into creating desert terrain. After a few more weeks they just haven’t stopped. This has now become their main hobby. My dad and I don’t even play that much due to our schedules, but this doesn’t stop them from building. I’ve created something I can’t control and it’s amazing.

50ish magnets later and now I can model every damage result in Bolt Action without needing to mark the tank with chits. Video coming soon

Some of the new German veteran infantry I’ve been steadily working on, still need to finish the LMG and loader.

We played a great game last night. Boccage fighting in Normandy. The mission was Top Secret and it was a bloodbath…

The Germans made an early grab for the objective on the crossroads, their infantry supported by a panzer III.

However withering fire from US HMGs and a very brave squad that dashed onto the open road forced the Germans back.

But it was too little too late as the US ran out of time to bring the objective home.

My first model kit was from Tamiya. My guess that's true for many in our hobby.

Finally painted my Rohan army, I call this project done. Maybe will do one Urukmacht orc too just for fun. Based on amazing art of Patso Catso.

First fully painted army in any wargaming thing I've done. Pretty happy with the result.

Its a diorama of the 12th ss ambushing the North Nova Highlanders and Sherbrooke Fusiliers outside Authie on the way to Caen.

Felt a little strange making such a nice board for SS. But I chose this group as my army because my other army is the North Nova Highlanders, and wanted my Germans to be reflective of who the North Nova's Fought. Already working on a board for my Canadians for next year's CTC, hoping for some good rules.

I should also say that before getting into bolt action or really deciding I'd fully paint a table top army, I was a full time practicing artist for about 15 years, not minis, but I've done a lot of creative projects.

Made some pictures of our game and pimped them a bit. Soviet vs. Germans late war. Hope you like it.

This morning I finished painting Sergeant Sawyer. This model was made to represent co-founder of Warlord Games, Paul Sawyer, who passed the day before yesterday following a long battle with brain cancer. Warlord Games donated all proceeds from the sale of this miniature to The Brain Tumour Charity.

Top half of the wall is magnetized to double as a scenic piece and for gameplay reasons.

I didn't get very much, since I was on a bit of a budget and most of the stuff I fancied had been cleared out anyway!

Anyhow, great bunch of lads, offered my kids and me a drink when we went in, were very happy to chat, and I walked away with a free Stahltrupp.

I finally got to have a game with my model of Stalingrad’s Station No.1. I only used a loosely historically accurate layout for the game. However, the station ended up being a lot fun of to use. The train tracks and rolling stock still need a bit of work but I’m very happy overall!

Game-wise, I absolutely got my arse handed to me and my mate thrashed my Germans (historically fitting lol)

Played a larger game over the weekend with British (1500pts) vs. Germans & Japanese (750pts each). Getting happier with the way the board is coming along each week.

What would you guys change, add or do differently? We're continuing to expand and work on what we have while creating new pieces for the board. It's not completely done but we're getting there!
