Read more "The Turing Test – The Boss and Roger"This is a tale that starts with democracy and demonstrates why such a decision making method is overrated. I am notorious for having an army problem in K47. Specifically I have 4 or 5 ideas bubbling away at each point. However when I manage to focus I can produce good results as the 107th US […]
Read more "The Turing Test – The Start of a New Army"Hi All I thought I should put a quick blog post up with the entries for our Diorama competition which is running courtesy of Boss Minis and Warlord Games.

Read more "Rift Tech Radio – Diorama Competition"So after some time with Mother Russia’s finest I finally managed to get past real life and arrange a 1250 point K47 game.

Read more "Droppers – Aussies in K47"You may think that is a click-bait style title, but there is a genuine answer. It’s cause they are both all about the razzle dazzle! musical explanation here! So one of my nemises (nemisi?) Simon put an idea in my head. Knowing full well I loved the look of the heavy walkers and knowing I […]
Read more "Soviet Naval Brigade Part 4 – How is a Mammoth like Richard Gere?"So, the challenge was a 1000 point army in 6 weeks. As those of you I met at I17 know, I made it – just! Once again, I had the normal event experience of finishing my basing within 24 hours of event start! However, in the last week I managed to do the Daughters, Iskra (AT […]
Read more "Soviet Naval Brigade – Part 3 – Hello Sailor and/or Comrade"I was off on holiday over the recent school break in the UK and having been a bit frustrated with the paucity of my K47 hobby output I decided to set myself a challenge. I’ve had a planned Desert Raiding force for my US rangers for some time now. My vision was for a force […]
Read more "Painting an Army in three days.."Following on from part 1 of this series here; progress is continuing on the Naval Brigade of the Destroyer Oktober. Firstly we have the first complete squad, a 11 man SMG squad. Deadly from close in, these figures were too fun not to use! Again, quick and tabletop is still the name of the game, […]
Read more "Soviet Naval Brigade – Not Perfect Part 2 – First squads! "So, this is a strange article for me to write. I’ve been painting for almost 25 years on and off with small improvements and sometimes great leaps, but always forward.
