    New options for my Wargame Widgets

    Based on customer feedback, I added a new line of colors to my 3d printing and have expanded the Wargame Widget line of unit markers. I am now stocking slightly less common colors of purple, orange, yellow, brown and gray, in addition to the original red, blue, black, white and green. This gave me motivation…

    Clear acrylic AOE templates

    When I started getting into Bolt Action, I found that the game still uses Area of Effect templates – something that is absent (and sometimes missed) in Star Wars Legion. Any time an explosive weapon is used, the template is used to determine how many models are affected by the blast. Group up, more damage.…

    New Etsy Product – Vehicle bases

    Adding a few new designs to the Etsy collection, as I slowly increase my options. This time it is a set of Vehicle and Terrain bases I designed, since I don’t care for the “free” vehicle placement. Basically, in Bolt Action, infantry figures have a 1 inch base, artillery and heavy weapons have bases of…

    Continuing my painting of armor for the Bolt Action game, I finished up the first batch. They came out a bit darker than I expected, which is fine, I think they look pretty good – I just have imagined the final result to be brighter. I did do some basic dry brushing at the end…

    Distractions

    Scheduling has been very difficult in the last couple of weeks, putting my battle reports well behind schedule. Between fall sports, band activities, and real-life concerns like work, there has not been much time for group activities, though that is hopefully changing back after the end of October. In the meantime, I have been hard…

    Tabletop Wargames

    Managed to get in a couple of games on Sunday, processing now for the battle reports hopefully by Friday. First up was a rematch of my Rebel forces with Ben’s Empire force, revised to version 3 for the units. He dropped the Dark Troopers, and opted for a fully loaded AT-ST, which was a serious…

    If you play tabletop strategy games, you likely know the challenge of identifying different squads of infantry. Either the models are the same build, the weapons are similar, or the painting is similar, and when the units get bunched together, it is hard to separate which soldiers go with which squad. Or you don’t have…

    Bolt Action

    Recently, I have been inspired to branch out into new gaming, because of course I have nothing but free time and lots of disposable income (neither accurate). I have always been curious about the Bolt Action tabletop wargame, which as I understand has been going strong for many years. At this point, at the end…
