Bastogne War Museum - Afterworks 3rd ed.

Greetings to all,

Last week-end, we did spend the afternoon and evening on the third Afterworks at the BWM. For Bolt Action, we had four tables; where all models were skillfully painted and the tabletops full of well made scenery(Ohama Beach, Reconquer Noville, Recapture Bretteville and Boccage Hell).  Most of us could play two games (and finish them... Hoozah!). The end of the evening was spend on the terasse in vieuw of the Mardasson monument with typical 1940 music.

The next Afterwork is on friday the 21/08. Hope to see you there ;)

In the mean time, here's a video of our friend Michaël from ODIT. Enjoy !

Would you like to participate with any game related to WWII ? Just sent me an e-mail :)

Cheers !

Bastogne War Museum

The doors of the renovated Bastogne War museum are finally open. A visit was definitely in order. Highly impressed (there is so much to see) I managed to take a few pictures. I can recommend you to go take a look for yourself if you have the opportunity.

Word Bearers 40K army

This is my army for 40K, that I will present you bit by bit. I've started these models a long time ago (second edition) just for the sake of painting and converting. The army did evolute with every new edition. New models and new conversions were added to form what I have today (around 2500pts).
As a start : Dreadnought, Obliterators and possessed.

Thanks for watching :)
