40K: Making a Unit Bucket

Everyone has a list of units or heroes that they like to play with in their army list.  Mine just happens to be the most cost effective ones.  Now I'm sure I'm not the only one that does this, but whenever a new codex comes out, I look through the book and construct something I like to call: a unit bucket.

Terrain Workshop: Foamboard + Cities of Death Kits

Recently at FTW Games we had to get a lot of terrain made up for our 40k RTT.  Fortunately the local gaming club, Stony Point Refugees, had a bunch of Cities of Death buildings assembled. So I opted for the quick and easy route and based them all with Foamboad (also known as Foamcore).

Hobby Painting the M1943 American Uniform

With War Games Con going on I’ve been recently heads down busily painting my 101st Airborne in the M1943 uniform that was worn by them from Operation Market Garden to war’s end. I have recently noticed that although many of the newer Intelligence Briefings have painting guides finding painting guides on the American M1943 uniform is a bit difficult. As far as I have found the D-1 book seems to be one of a few sources. I will not go into the historical detail of the M1943 uniform. If you’re into history, like me, you will know where to find that information.
