Terrain Tutorial: Concrete
This is how I do my basic concrete look. The project is a couple of water tanks for the Adepticon Stalingrad table or it could also be used for a number of other industrial set ups. I’ve seen a ton of other awesome methods out there, but I have a lot of terrain to paint and don’t have the time to spend days on these so this is what you get! Hopefully it’s effective enough and helpful. Continue reading Terrain Tutorial: Concrete

Unfortunately Ben and I had to put our Stalingrad … Continue reading Drew’s Early Summer 2023 Hobby Update

This was the first year I’ve gone that I played in all historical events. While my primary WW2 game has been Bolt Action, with some dabbling in Flames of War years ago, Ben has been trying to convince me … Continue reading First Impressions- Chain Of Command At Adepticon 2023
Stalingrad Campaign- Game #1 “The Concrete Monolith”
Stalingrad. The name itself conjures up powerful imagery. The city on the Volga bearing Stalin’s name brings to mind ruined factories, bitter house to house fighting, rubble strewn streets, elusive snipers and desperate men pushed through the meat grinder for a couple yards of concrete.
