Update and 30k Thousand Sons

Hi guys,

Looking back over the old posts from two years ago got me thinking. So much has changed in my life so quickly that this blog got relegated. With the prospect of being forced to stay home I know I will fall into the hobby for an escape and a chill out from the madness occurring the real world.

I decided it’s time this thing got updated and I start posting again. Why not. There will be plenty of peeps in the same boat looking for an escape too so...

My hobby has been ongoing moving from system to system and expanding new and old armies alike so there is a lot to try an cram into this so I am going to pick one I am doing or have done recently and will go from there.

First up I started a new army. Once the firm I worked for and I parted ways I had both capital and time on my hands so what better thing to do than start a new army. Not just any army. Oh no fully Forgeworld Thousand Sons army. True my new job eats even more of time but I am definitely happier now. Oh yes. The rules had dropped and the models are superb (slightly less so than the new Dark Angels but such is life) so I did it. 2018 saw me buy, build and paint decent size 30k army. One which I am working on still and have added new units to it will plenty to build and paint yet.

With every army I want to learn a new skill so for these I decided I would learn the art of airbrushing. I wanted the candy apple red look which looks great if it’s done right so it’s been (still is) and interesting learning curve! Anyhow enough of me rambling let’s see some models!!

Hope you enjoy. I will do army photo shoot soon and get some good photos to post up.

Cheers

Bolt Action: Battle of Stalingrad Army List and Hobby update

Hi guys,


Below is my finalised list for my soviets. I am using the Stalingrad force selector meaning I can take double the amount of snipers and anti tank teams.

Having 15 dice in the bag should enable me to get the jump on Veteran armies but manovability will be my weakness. It should be a good army to play. Very different to my American army and very different to a planned half track German army...

I have modelled them based on the film Enemy at the Gates. Enjoy

Bolt Action: Stalingrad Soviets

Quick little update. I have begun work on a Soviet Army just in time for the new rule book. Going for a massed troop list with dog mines, heavy machine guns and loads of SMGs.

For starters I have done a basic 1k list and started on my Zis3 and dog mines...

Enjoy.
