Adepticon is huge, the first time I went, I was blown away with the size of it. This year it has moved to a bigger and better venue, I am keen to see it all again and get some games in.

This year I am avoiding Flames of War, I am a little over that game, even though I had a great time at the last event, I am over it.  I also have not had a chance to play everybody that is online in different forums, that play other games, so this year I am playing in Epic Armageddon and Bolt Action Tank Wars.

1500pt Scourge Force

1500pt Scourge Force 1

Things have been a little quiet here: mainly due to the holiday season and the extra-curricular activities that entails. However, the other big event here is Cancon, which is Australia’s largest gaming convention. While it has not yet occurred, I’m playing 2 days of Dropzone Commander and I have needed to finish painting my Scourge. As a result it’s been a fair bit of painting and organising things and not so much blog posting.

However, I figured to put something up I’d throw up a picture of my forces and the list. First the picture:

Bane of War V has been and gone, and it was a fantastic weekend of gaming for all.

I really enjoyed Bane of War, it was a great event, Red on Blue where ever possible, it was well run, and having the comp inside the Texas Military Forces Museum is a bonus.

Test Israeli Sho’t

Test Israeli Sho't 2

A little something different and larger than normal. I think I’ve previously mentioned that I was going to do some 6mm AIW. The first component of this is a number of Israeli Sho’t (Improved Centurion Tanks). I’ve finished one as a test model, and I’m quite happy with the result. The colour is a little … Read more

Dropzone Commander Resistance

Dropzone Commander Resistance was a force for Drop Zone Commander I had to get, clearly designed as an insurgency force, but it had choppers, and it was shiny so I couldn’t resist.

I didn’t buy the starter box like I should have but rather I started collecting by getting what ever blisters the local store had.  Which was not much but it was a start.  This was meant to be a slow build not something that I felt i had to have completed in a week or two.

E-7A Wedgetail – Complete

E-7A Wedgetail - Complete 3

The final step in this build was to print up some custom decals. I used Bare-Metal Foil‘s decal film. This product is a clear film that can be printed on with a laser printer. They’ve a number of variations with different colours and laser printing options all available. It was simply a matter of creating some images and then finding a high enough quality printer to print them out. At this scale even the huge markings on these planes are still only 2-3mm across so you need a good printer. I printed the following image, note the three different copies. I ended up using one and a half.DecalsX3
