As always it was fun seeing old friends, new friends and having some great conversations and laughs with gamers from all over. Our club Iron Dice Gaming hosted three games using my Battle of the Bulge board where we refought one of the early battle of Senonchamps during Battle of the Bulge.

Evan recaps the Iron Dice Adepticon trip, shows off some photos and a new trophy for the studio… Continue reading Adepticon 2025 Recap: IDG Does Milwaukee
I really prefer a good metal mini or 3d print, especially for copious amounts of riflemen. That said, I think this kit is really good. It has a lot of good arm options for the weapons and gear you’d expect to find on an American GI in the cold winter of 1944-45. Continue reading Spotlight: Warlord Games US Army (Winter) Platoon
Evan whipped up a painting guide for Winter Americans featuring some models from the new Warlord Games kit! Continue reading Winter US Army Painting Guide
We’re getting (or attempting to get) a head start on our Adepticon 2025 scenario. Evan is undertaking the US force for the Battle of the Bulge and his printer has been humming lately… Continue reading Assembling a US Force for the Battle of the Bulge

Like the pannier engine I had two goods wagons, a flatcar, and a liquid tank car primed and sitting in the pile of shame for a few years. It was high time to change that.

The week of Adepticon is upon us! Drew, Evan, Anthony, Teddy, and I have been making our final preparations for the four events we are running. I heard Teddy has coins in his pockets and if you tickle him they will fall out. Continue reading The IDG Gang Goes to Adepticon
As 2024 begins (or more accurately continues, as I am still writing this in late January Mid-February) I start to wonder what kind of projects await for me in the new year. Continue reading 2024 Hobby Goals
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.
