@jon gawne He`s done you proud, they are first rate , Love the litter of battle on the bases a real touch of class.

So, apparently I never updated this thread.   There's an army now. This is its latest  

Scratch built USS Arizona in local Veteran's Day Parade.  Owner told me it was about 26 ft long.    

Brilliant work! That is the work of one very skilled modeler. 👏🏻

Looking good! Welcome aboard. 👍

My Paternal Grandparents lived on Oahu in '41.  They saw the Japanese aircraft fly over.  My Grandfather attempted to join the Navy immediately following Pearl Harbor but was turned away ...

Dress uniforms can be useful in some non-battlefield scenarios. The Foot Guards DO guard the monarch in dress uniform with current issue (non-ceremonial) weapons, so a terrorist or other urban cris...

Hello everyone, I recently returned to painting 28mm minis. It's been nearly 20 years since the last time I painted. My friends and I in highschool played Warhammer Fantasy and Mordheim. I discove...

A day of rememberance on 7 DEC 2022. A great article about Pearl Harbor.  Drives home the human cost: https://tucson.com/news/local/tucsonan-finishes-five-year-quest-to-profile-every-uss-a...

The main line of post-apocalypse in plastic is probably the old Wargames Factory one that got sold to Warlord and are now marketed as "Project Z". But that's more "The Walking Dead" than "Fallout" ...

Small Arms - Vietnam. They were actually inventoring the weapons so I got to take some pictures minus the glass. Holy Sh*t, that's a Stoner:

@Geoff Maybury  Posted some relevant pics for you: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/53697/museumhistoric-sites-displays-photo-thread?page=2

Arizona Military Museum, Phoenix, AZ. Vietnam section:  

@fodzilla  Got you.  Good stuff.

@JTam less sci-fi, less heroic-scale, and (potentially) less evil - though death cults and cannibal raiders are obviously a common trope. Consider a game like Zona Alfa - the gear is modern but mo...

Outstanding!  Thanks for posting these.  Are those bashes with Mantic Zombies?

@jon gawne 

A long time ago I ran a game with zombies in WW1. I was thinking of them and decided to bash some Wargames Atlantic Germans with some old Wargames Factory zombies. They were OK. But 'Lagoon 6' in t...

Still fully behind the female theme. For the Oorahs, how about a female body with at least one head with bandanna.  

@Miyuso  The "Support" theme is a good one.  It could potentially be broken down even further.   "Healers" one month. "Logistics" another.  (This could even just be back...

@Mark Dewis Reference the "Priestly" theme and Death Fields. No reason to think that they were sucked into space with a shaman, priest, or chaplain.   Even works for the Oorahs.

@Charles Tottington  How did I go this far in my life without knowing about Centurii-Chan? Thank You.  My life is better now.  

@fodzilla  So like these guys? https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-257164 Or are you looking for something different?

@Geoff Maybury  Reference: That's a brilliant idea to get stripped down gun crew.  

@Geoff Maybury  I've got a soft spot for the Huey gunship.  A Monogram 1/48 gunship was one of the first models I ever really built as a kid.  Painted the the little seat belt buckl...

@Mark Dewis Exactly, think only about 18th century grenadiers' mitre, then replaced in Napoleonic's age by the bearskin, but I was speaking about the uniforms of that picture, with an early 20th ce...

Well done figs, can I suggest giving a classic WWI camo to their helmets, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U320dRc60VIsuch as in this tutorial?  

To be honest I could buy loads of this machine alone ,reined myself back in to two for starters,  then after X-mas well? Cosidering it`s the first 1/56th plastic kit of an Aircraft by Rubicon ...

Plus T54,/55. Us Army and the Vietnam Army. allin 2023 is looking strongly "Nam" based. By the way that "Huey" is muti variable  like most Rubicon kits and will make "Taxi","Med Lift" and "Gun...

One of these.

  Christmas is two of these machines.

@John Wilson I got all the right items, and a bare chested sprue of ancient  figures. Perfect, just as Rubicons Shearhead  "Nam" delivery arrived. So now I`ve Bare chests, for the gun cre...

I have had particularly good experiences with Warlord Games customer service.

@JTam Yeah, I sent them an email yesterday. I forgot to mention they put free stuff in to the orders as well. I got a WW2 US infantry sprue, along with a Doctor Who River Song figure in one and a R...

I think there's a gap in the market for multi-part post-apocalyptic figures in a few flavours - call them Urban Decay, Atomic Wasteland and Nuclear Winter. Would be perfect for all manner of skirmi...

@William Ings Why does Centurii Chan pop up in my mind when looking at this?

By the looks of it, yeah the arms are the biggest problem. Luckly we have gobbo and lizard arms. Can't wait for these guys to have a plastic counterpart (which might come with even more head option...

Couldn't particularly care about perfectly scale-matching GW stuff. Here's the whole gang - at least until the WW1 MG teams come out. 😅

@Alessio De Carolis I think most soldiers are FINE if someone shoots them in the tall hat, as long as they miss the actual head. But these styles only became impractical with the breech loading ri...

@Mithril2098 agreed. Anyone wanting bulk figures is going to get the main boxes anyway and will probably end up with extra guys.

@Lidless Eye while there were Cossacks and proto-Cossacks earlier, they mostly came to prominence in the 15th Century, which fits in with WGA's Renaissance line. Terminology is slippery - "Medieval...

As usual, I'd love to see some medieval Cossacks.  They could have options for sci-fi or horror bits to fit as Dracula's Guard types.

For general barefoot robed figures, I reccommend the Perry Ansar Warrior Sprue. They make VERY good Thuggee. Head swap in from Afghans, although there are a couple of turban heads on the sprue a...

@John Wilson  I'd contact them. They'll probably send you the missing sprues and tell you to keep the other ones.  Warlord has excellent customer service in my experience.
