Soviets in NBC Suits

Here is a little step-by-step on how I painted up these Soviets in NBC suits from Eureka Miniatures. I tried to match the colors with the middle figure(2). I’m happy with them. Now these boys will be heading to the Zone! Finally, the whole squad in all their glory, ready to enter the Zone. The […]

German Hanomag

Finished (nearly) German Grenadiers

The nearly finished German Grenadiers for Bolt Action! Finally! A total of 40 minis. Enough minis for three 10-man squads, a Forward Observer and his adjutant, a sniper and spotter, and a Lieutenant and his adjutant, and an MMG Team. All that is left is to finish the Hanomag and these boys are ready for […]

The Zona Alfa rule book by Patrick Todoroff has come out just this […]

Models With the Kids

Here are some “minis” I did with the kids. They really wanted to paint their own and my oldest suggested his army men. I based a few they selected along with a couple of other toys, spray primed them, and we painted them up with some inexpensive paints from Hobby Lobby. It was a great […]

Update on Trees Trees Everywhere!

Here is a video update on the tree saga. I think they came out well. I have only done the pine trees and some armatures with the single color foliage. Later will come the other trees with the other color clump foliage, coco fiber, and moss methods.

US Army WWII

Here are some almost completed US Army for Bolt Action. They just got a quick base layer and a wash with Agrax Earthshade. Good enough for arms-length wargaming as far as I’m concerned! These models are the Wargames Factory Late US Army.

Ogre Guard

Here is the Ogre Guard miniature, 77456, in the Reaper Bones line. This was a great mini to paint. It took a long time to paint, but it was a labor of love. Getting the skin right was tough, it took a lot of layers and washes, but I like the way it came out. […]

Goblins!

Here are more Reaper Bones miniatures, this time, Goblins. I purchased many of these and most of the other Reaper Bones miniatures to use to play Four Against Darkness with my boys. They liked it for a while, but now they like to just make up their own games with them. These are the 77444 […]

Orc Berserker AKA: “Gorebag”

Behold! Gorebag the fierce! This is a Reaper Bones Orc Beserker, number 77059. He is the leader of the first orc, goblin, and monster warband I created for Song of Blades and Heroes.
