750 Points United States Marine Corps Army

Company of Dice is a Wargaming club that I belong to located at South Coogee Bowls Club.  They hosted their first Bolt Action Tournament known as Operation C.O.D.



I decided to play USMC.  I ordered a USMC army bundle of Warlord Games over the Christmas New Year period 2015 as a present to myself.

I wanted a unique and interesting looking army.  I wanted lots of characters and wanted to keep it historical.

The army won "The best army award" for creativity and aesthetics.  This was done by peer vote from the 22 participants (vote 1 USMC!!!).

My favorite unit is the 28mm War Dog team.  Love them!

  2. These are excellent. :) I've been wanting to do USMC, but frankly, the photos on Warlord's site do not show these to advantage. Your photos are great though, and they might force me to take the plunge.
