Bring Back The War In Wargaming (40k Rant)

We’ve been feeling it for a while now, right? Warhammer 40k 10th Edition has smoothed off so many edges that it feels less like solving battlefield puzzles and more like playing chess with dice rolls. Sure, it is more “balanced,” but at what cost? A lot of the things that made 40k feel like 40k are quietly disappearing beneath the surface.

It’s time to get back to wargaming. We have learned a ton of things running BOLTERCON and our most blessed clubhouse. What is at the top? The people crave effort, they crave immersion, they crave a realtime challenge. Predetermination may be the way the winds blow, but we’re thinking that we will be the change we want to see in the world – bring the hobby + sportsmanship + challenge back to tabletop.

Siege of Seraphim Reach Recap

At Bolters at Dawn we have always loved the narrative flair. Finding our miniatures in scenarios that bring the game to life for us is something that elevates our game to the next level. With the Siege of Seraphim Reach we wanted to do just that with a game that was both a spectacle and put our players at the controls of telling the story of the day.
