Seeing Red Again - Returning to 15mm Soviets
Back in the heady days of 3rd edition Flames of War, I would have to say Soviets became my main army. The Eastern Front history has always fascinated me and I’ve always found the Soviet project a fascinating mixture of idealism blended with brutal oppression mired in a quagmire of Russo-centric chauvinism.

Painting Progress - 15mm WW2 German Additions
I’ve been steadily painting away at some of my 15mm WW2 backlog. While I still have mixed feelings about FoW V4 as a ruleset, Battlefront’s new plastic miniatures are VERY good and “FoW” style basing is still my preferred way to go (the base sizes are just right to allow for little dioramas). So, I’ll keep basing things for this system even if I am eyeballing alternatives (I’ve heard good things about Hail of Fire).

A Month?! Ack!
Oh no! A month without a post. Life just sort of got ahead of me - summer is always very busy. I’ve been doing some hobby stuff - printing and painting Solar Aux themed around the Imperial Russian army of WW1. I doubt I’ll ever play third ed HH - the community for it died with the new edition here - but at this stage in my hobby life gaming is a secondary concern - I paint and hobby what I feel like doing and even if it never gets used it’ll look cool in my display cases.

Ultramarines Herald and Campaign Update
Just a short post today. I completed an Ultramarines Herald I snagged on Marketplace awhile back. Lovely miniature, absolutely oozes character like most of the Horus Heresy character range.

ProHammer Solo Campaign - The Iron Thorn Crusade 2
Time for another ProHammer solo campaign game! If you missed the first one catch it here This time the Word Bearers will be attempting a Breakout scenario using the Slip-By mission from the ProHammer mission pack. I had a lot of fun doing this as a narrative write up and am enjoying the evolving story - I hope you are as well! In case it wasn’t clear last time - narrative bits are in italics with my commentary on the mechanics/game/random interjections in plaintext. This scenario is all about the attacker (Chaos) trying to exit half their units from the Ultramarines side of the table to bypass a strongpoint.
