Early this year, I sold off a chunk of my Soviet Bolt Action army. I didn't play the game often and when I did, I didn't play it well. Then Jason Meyers (of the
Der Feldmarschall blog) started running quarterly Bolt Action events. His superb events and the great players who turn up for them have lit a fire. I recently finished a Trenchworx T-28, White Scout car, and a twin turreted T-26. Every one was a superb model so bravo, Trenchworx! Bonus, I'm finally getting the hang of my Badger airbrush. I also painted up Warlord Games Scouts and Engineers because...why not?
My Soviets have been in heavy rotation since summer. I've used them in What a Tanker, 2 Chain of Command campaigns and 3 Bolt Action tournaments. In the tournaments, I landed Best Overall General, Best Painted, and Best Allied General. Enough bragging. I'll finish with a few pictures from my Bolt Action games.
Outstanding work, Monty! Your armor looks superb!

Thanks! BA Soviets are so much fun. The options for painting and playing are endless.
DeleteFantastic work and who hasn't sold an army and then started it again, it's the hobby........the disease!
ReplyDeleteFran! Hope all is well on the home and painting front. And for sure, I've got that disease.

Good one! That is my shout out to Shosty and his "Siege of Leningrad" Symphony.
DeleteSplendid work, Monty - the weathered armour is excellent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evan! We're lucky to paint in a time with so many weathering products and options.
DeleteGreat looking figures and models as always, Monty! Those games look awesome as well - oh, and congrats on your well-deserved recognition.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean! I am quite happy to have landed a "Best Painted."
DeleteVery nice looking games! Hope your spammer has moved on. Quite a lame problem.
ReplyDeleteRight? It was a daily thing. Surely there are many more interesting things to do in life than target 1 blog.
DeleteWonderful minis and vehicles. I love that submarine scenery!
ReplyDeleteThanks Skully, that was an amazing table and my last game in the 2 day event against the BA legend John Stentz. I kept it close right up to the end!
DeleteBeautiful work Monty, shame you sold your first lot!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray! I eventually sell everything I paint under "I can always paint more" rule. Its kind of cool because the new owner and I keep up on our BA adventures. :-)
