@Geoff Maybury I got PRK two years ago, and I noticed that my near vision slipped a touch. No big deal- we're talking within a few inches of my face and I can't really focus. At regular distances, ...
@Colin Brinkley Yeah, I look every oncein a while, and see some up there. I like the 1/100 scale ones. They are well scaled to stand in as Armigers or the like. i have one of each full sized, and t...
Decent rant. 8/10. Would LOL at "PrinterBros" again.
@Battle Specter The idea of the Republic representing a sort of Pre-American (as we know it today) Republic is an interesting though. Very remenescent of the US Pre-1870. As for the Leviathans, the...
@Brian Van De Walker I hadn't considered other non-human factions besides the Shadowkesh and possibly the Dhar-Hazier. Something about the universe screamed Humano-centric to me. Perhaps you're rig...
Sorry you're frustrated (and seemingly very angry about 3D printing in general!) but as we've mentioned plenty of times and most recently wrote a giant annual update about, the digital component of...
Hi Geoff - yes Only-Games experienced a huge surge of new business leading up to the holidays and have been scrambling to add people and resources to catch up. Two weeks ago they were 2-3 weeks fro...
@Charles Tottington I don`t see it that way at all if Onlygames could print the demand ther would be little problem contact is their major fault in a failure to respond to customers questions...
@Geoff Maybury Cheers! I remember having cats back in North Carolina, it was long before I got into the hobby (I was just entering highschool when we moved to Oklahoma back in '15) they were mostly...
Really wish we could get her to move into the house with us life would be so much easyer. Cats!!!. Cheers Geoff.
@Charles Tottington Thank you for the support, my friend, come now lets put this print fiasco behind, and think of the plastic soon to arive in the form of the Oh-Rahs, I`m waitin...
Honestly, I'm finding myself siding with @Pierre Lerdou-Udoy on this matter. I've already vented on a dedicated post my issues with how WGA seems to be prioritizing STLs over Plastic Sets which con...
@Grumpy Gnome Cheers, I just figure with a Head change, every thing else will fall in line, and in real life, people like humanised robots that are not much taller than them. Clic had the new Bosto...
I'm going to piss a lot of people off with this. I just don't like 3d printing. It's pretentious, hard to access unless you shell out hundreds of dollars for a piece of junk you're only going to us...
@JTam Who says you can`t teach an old dog new tricks, you can with the aid of a really smart young dog. Thank you Tam. Cheers Geoff.
@JTam Nice very nice detailing.
So what I'm getting is that Onlygames is an absolute mess...... man I am really getting less and less interested in this 3d printing nonsense. I mean I ghosted out of OPR because all the 3d Printer...
@Grumpy Gnome Is this you?: https://underfireminiatures.co.uk/product-category/28mm-online-store/
Now is the is an AKM close enough to stand in for an AK74 for most people? Probably. It's annoying if you actually know the weapons though. But again, I don't think it's much of an is...
Under Fire Miniatures did a good job modeling the differences: NVA Soldier with a 7.62x39 MPi-KM. Soviet Soldier with a 5.45 AKS-74. Note the differences between magazines and mu...
@Mark Dewis Sure. The big give aways are the muzzle device and the magazines. The MPi-KM (AKM equivalent/7.62x39) weapons have the tiny slant brakes and "ribbed" "b...
Warlord emailed me download of the new Hail Caesar last night. I didn't order it (the PDF) and wasn't expecting it. Classy to send the digital to the hard copy buyers. Really beau...
@Steffen Seitter Certainly "Pike and Shotte" is the other front runner for an EPIC converion. Those models DO look like ECW cavalry....but they also look 28mm (that banner pole ...
I hope so. Picture could be a hint for English Civil War, which was mentioned miltiple times in the past and which they confirmed they work on.
@Battle Specter @JTam I think that the post is a real top notch description of old and new both of which have there merits though I `m new all the way on transperant bases, I know your "MK On...
When the printed figure subject came about, I admit that I was extremely sceptical about whether this would work and how it would work. You will have seen from my posts that my main concerns were q...
@Dennis Horne Thank you for telling your problems, in all our years this company takes the biscuit. Who ever decided tell the customer nothing ? well the items are stunning I`d like more. Keep this...

@Dennis Horne If WGA were to try to adopt Bolt Action rules they would either need to partner with Warlord (and thereby cut profits) or be accused of plagiarism. And a sci-fi evolution...

I will admit I some how missed the text saying they were plastic. My mistake, good on WGA to make that clear.
I prefer the larger models. Miniatures creeping towards 32mm versus 28mm are easier to assemble, easier to paint, and just look better. YMMV. I remember painting some Warlord Japanese ...
Excited for the Bezerkers, handy robed cultists, and the mysterious WW2 mult-part set. And of course the French archeologist/Nazis.... Why.....
I'll admit I was a bit sceptical about the February theme but there's some good stuff here:
Sneak Peak for 27 JAN 23: This is plastic!?! Hallelujah. Looks like just maybe, some sweet, sweet Traitor Guard.
@Grumpy Gnome @Battle Specter I'm fine with supplying my own bases... But the box does feel a bit "light" compared to other Wargames Atlantic boxes. Wish there was another sprue in the...
@Grumpy Gnome Adopt Bolt Action with tweaks for the weapon stats ? That seems to be what Warlord Games did for their Konflikt 47 stuff, dunno if its that popular though. Base rules which un...
@Duke Exeter @Mark Dewis Early war BEF is a big gap in plastic and a great idea for a set. If Wargames Atlantic makes the respirators and shovels/entrenching tools separate bits...
@Sean Tighe US Paras in the M42 uniform would be great. It's an iconic uniform and suitable for North Africa, the Mediterranean, and D-Day. I am certain it would sell very well a...
@Geoff Maybury I too am in the same situation. After 7 attempts via their awful 'contact us' interface, I got a reply with a partial refund for the WA cannon fodder sprues. A covering e-ma...
@JTam are you saying you can identify which rifle those Under Fire Miniatures minis are carrying just from the sculpts? Including calibre?
@Grumpy Gnome Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I can see your point on the bases. I prefer getting bases with my models. I have the printer, so I can make some myself, but not everyone has that option....
A Cold War Soviet kit should have AKMs and AK-74s as they are fairly distinctive from each other if you know what you are looking for. Large compensator and straighter, slab side magazines on...

I just found out about this. I joined tonight, I don't yet have a printer, but plan to get one soon. There was a banner on the MMF page that said if you join you get $120 worth of downloads. So fa...
@JTam on the NATO side the biggest visual difference was probably the introduction of the PASGT helmet and vest in the early 80's. But yeah, on the Soviet side the gear is much the same thro...

@JTam Absolutely! So long as I'm imagining my ideal set.
