No idea where these came from, they look like Copplestones Back of Beyond range, but I can't find them online. These are also some of the miniatures that a friend of mine was cleaning out eight or so years ago and I picked up just for fun. Working on all of the random miniatures that I have been doing to try out styles inspired me to work these chaps up.

Michigan GT Bolt Action Tournament Recap

Joe's Tournament report from the Michigan GT!

Michigan GT! One of the biggest tabletop gaming events in the Great Lakes state. We had 14 players, including folk from Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin making the trip, the GT was shaping up to be a great time for everyone. Unable to attend last year and with the Covid-19 shutdowns the previous years, this would be my first foray to the GT, and boy was I excited! With beloved local TO Jeff…

Replacements & Heroes Bolt Action Event Recap

Tournament report from Bolt Action Michigan!

Always excited for a new local event! The Michigan Bolt Action scene is goingg strong and this 14-player, one-day, three-game tournament is a perfect example. I’ve been to the fantastic Bastion Gaming Center a couple times before but I’ve never seen it at capacity with a full tournament underway. It was a sight to see! First-time TO Chris led the charge on this event and had a hell of a turnout!…

Polar Vortex 2022 - Andrew's Recap

Andrew's Bolt Action tournament report from Polar Vortex 2022!

Several months ago I was contacted to run a Bolt Action event at Polar Vortex 2022 in Chicago over the weekend of Jan. 21. I’d played in Polar Vortex before, back in 2017 and 2018, but had not acted as TO. With Adepticon only a couple months away, I jumped at the chance to not only meet up with old friends, but also to test out new missions for Adepticon. For a complete breakdown, here are the…

Wasteland Bandits

It was a long process, but I finally finished up ten bandits for use in Zona Alfa, and other games, too, of course! I am used to batch-painting squads that are typically wearing the same or at least similar equipment. These guys, Scavengers from Mirliton and Sewer Scavengers from Copplestone, are all wearing different scraps and gear and even their clothes are quite different. My head was…

Comparison of Eureka, Copplestone, Warlord, Mirliton, and Pig Iron Miniatures

Comparison of Eureka, Copplestone, Warlord, Mirliton, and Pig Iron Miniatures

Following a post on Trackside Picnic and comments by Pete of SP’s Project Blog, I thought I would post up some comparison pictures of a few miniature makers. I find myself searching for such comparisons when exploring new manufacturers and it can be difficult to find just the right pictures with the right miniatures in them. These comparison shots are invaluable, in my opinion, and so the…

Stumbling onwards with these #10mmMinis . I'm putting myself through a crash course in base coats and washes. I rediscovered my magnifier with clamps, so I look like I have some fancy kit, I'm just trying to catch up with the skills to match! :D Actually having a lot of fun (the perfectionist in me is being very quiet whilst I do these ;) ) Thanks for the advice on the previous posts. :) #orc #barbarian #copplestone #minipainting #dungeonsanddragons #rpg #tabletop #DnD

Okay. 10mm minis are probably not the most rewarding way to get back into painting minis. :o I wanted to do washes, but I suck at those, dry-brushing is interesting, but I will need a lot of practice, so everything will be monocolours from now on I reckon. White for heroes/party. Brown-black for denizens. Maybe. #copplestone #minis #DnD #tabletop #RPG #rol #10mmmini #minipainting
