State of the Union - Bolt Action

What's this?? Two posts in quick succession?? Have I gone mad? - nope, just trying to get caught up in nearly 2 years of blogging, normal service will resume shortly.

So, My new years resolution of 2013 was 'Only buy models once I've painted some, a 1 in, 2 out system' This fell rapidly by the wayside as I started not 1, but about 4-5 new systems :s These include:

• Bolt Action
• Saga
• Judge Dredd
• X-wing
• Dropzone commander

First one I'm going to post about is the one I've played the most of, Bolt Action. So what is it?

Bolt Action is a 28mm scale 'platoon' level world war 2 game published by Warlord Games. I'd read about this game for a few months before finally jumping in with a couple of clubmates - the initial plan was to use our existing flames of war miniatures and playing it in 15mm, this quickly went out the window as we looked at the 28mm scale figures and also seeing how reasonably priced the models were.

So, my last attempt at blogging seems to have fallen by the wayside, it's been about 21 months since my last post, so what's been going on since then?

This post and the ones following will mostly be a 'state of the union' - letting everyone know where i'm up to and things occuring in the future, hopefully i'll be updating it more often in the future, thanks to #secretstuff

Well, the previous few posts were about my Samurai Empire army and I'm happy to say i've nearly finished it :)

I've assembled and painted about 2k of them, I've still got a few things left to finish off, but as always it's been overtaken by other projects, anyway - here's some pics of things as they currently stand.

Nippon test colour scheme

First quick tester for colour scheme:

Each of the units will have different coloured armour I think - and different coloured back banners with different markings as wel.
