I've been listening to https://youtu.be/2QBA6ZPmj3Q while doing so.e chores today. I knew he had some connections, but it seems Pyrrhus was sheltered in Illyria as a child. I've been preparing som...

@Berggeit  All the volumes I have are very well done.   Here and there the translation to English isn't perfect but nothing inhibits understanding. Please post a review of the Jap...

That's so true, Anaia ! Mines and... sometimes mass graves. I forgot to specify the original use of the "sica" in mountain populations : a magnificent sheperd's and hunter's tool for cutting up an...

@JTam I sure will but certainly wait until the models are up for pre-order.

@JTam I did consider getting the Feudal Japan one from Painting War a while ago. So good to know they are good books.

@Geoff Maybury  Which one is one of your favorite rules?

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy  Well, and the landmines.

@H M  Lucid Eye really hit it out of the park with the Sea People.  

@JTam They have been there for a long, long time though :(

@JTam Those Sea Peoples are exceptional, but they sure could use some Sherden allies... (wink wink, nudge nudge WGA ;)

I agree with William. His (your) analysis is a good starting point. The Balkans are, from Antiquity until today, an ethnic mosaic. Finding the archetype of the Illyrian warrior is absolutely impos...

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Himself was his doom, trying to chomp too many european countries, ironically once he said : "With bayonets you can do a lot of things, except sit on them". Well in Spain happen...

In metal there are a lot of them, they lack in plastics, so Frostgrave-like range would be welcome, with different bodies and armour types, as in the pool I think that figures as depicted by classi...

@JTam Snap one of my favorite rules buying Viterex sprues from sprue shop to convert.

This looks like a good set and I like the background. I would get this set in a solid form (no 3d printer), though as I am not a fan of the mutations, I would hope to have enough parts to be able t...

@Selrahc "ONE DAY MY SON, ONE DAY" At least we can dream!!!.😭

I would get this, having neither cf box so far (monetary issues at the time), but with Xenos Rampant now released, who knows

@JTam Had some real good games, only finished because the two players with the bigest majority of figures moved to London with their jobs. Still got some bits hanging around in the shed, would have...

@Hudson Adams although I to haven't got into 3D printing at home I appreciate that this lets you produce some excellent line additions. As long as you have reputable third-party 3D printers in diff...

Wrong harness? No harness = scalpel 😆@JTam yes, I have "Anton" too, but now he has a Mauser 😇  Whatever the shortcomings of these may or may not be I'm just happy that there'll be a boxful of...

The evident theme leaders.

I quite enjoyed the Lost Regiment series and did consider a gaming project based on it, with using GW Kroot models for the Tugar.

@William Ings  Oh yeah, that's a decent signature weapon: Semi related: Find it humorous that in England a people named after a type of knife are currently trying to ban/control knives.

@Geoff Maybury  I recently read the first book in that series.   That's a great game idea.  Using 15mm humans and 25mm orcs is a really clever way to show the disparity in s...

@JTam from my understanding, they are known for their use of the Sica, a curved sword their blend of gear was mainly Hellenistic and La Tène. But also a fair bit of Thracian and later, Ro...

@JTam I would disagree, it was a world war afterall so ideally you would want to portray some fronts other than the west especially when it's the British. The Wolseley Helmet then opens up more opp...

Well lost my mind a bit but started a Trojan force this Black Friday.  (Still 30% off). All Lucid Eye Amazons and Sea Peoples (Lukka). I already had some Lucid Eye Amazons (to include ...

As I said previously the sun hats are fun and add flexibility to the kit.  But WGA's new STL line and the selling physical copies of the STL line changes the complexion of everything. &n...

I have these two volumes: Honestly I found them underwhelming.  Lots of repetition between the two volumes, typos, no individual miniatures taken from start to finish, only basic techniques...

Typical contents and details from a Painting War volume: More excerpts from some Painting War Napoleonic volumes here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/76696/napoleonic-s...

The "Painting War" series is a series of painting guides that I whole heartedly recommend.  I have several volumes and they are always packed with context, information on the conflict and unif...

@William Ings  Interesting.  Was there any weapons, headgear, or armor particularly associated with the Illyrians?

I almost feel "Naken Hellens" could be a box in their own right. Mainly for diorama and fantasy.

Some really nice painted Lucid Eye Amazons here on this gentleman's blog: https://mogsymakes.net/2022/06/26/greek-myth-amazons-and-ethiopians/ He also has a picture of the Amazons as depicted i...

I think somthing between the Foundry ones and the Wagames Factory (but better preparations) would look good. Some cake and some steak. I think it really comes down to what depiction of amazons we ...

Thoughts on Amazons?  What direction would you like to see WGA go with them if they did a kit? I think I'd most want to see female "classic" hoplites with linothorax (one bronze "muscle" cuir...

I wasn't too hot on the first episode of Rogue Heroes, but there's an animated series of Netflix (it's like comic book art style, with motion captured faces for the actors) called The Liberator, ba...

In plastic there is the RGD Amazons: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/80168/rdg-gaming-amazon-satyrs-and-scythians An interesting take.  I think they tried to get th...

What's out there in 28mm Amazons already? There's a decent selection in metal. My absolute favorite Amazons are from Lucid Eye.  Lucid Eye has some of the best minis in the business and thei...

Started to write about Amazons at Troy here.... But decided they needed a separate thread: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/82218/amazons

Amazons! I started to post about Amazons at Troy here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/59614/the-trojan-war-iliad-odyssey But realized it's probably a topic that deserves...

Sci-fi Laser rifle arms. Specifically laser rifle arms that would be compatible with any forthcoming Army Building Sets like thus: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/49877/army...

Reading this forum and looking at the Hoplite STLs has reminded me of my old love, Europa Barbarorum, rekindling my love for Hellenistic warfare. One of my favorite factions to play was Epirus, sp...

@William Ings  Have been checking out the One Page Rules. First of all, I think the name is misleading ;) But it looks interesting.  Thank You.

Don Alessio, I have the same analysis as yours. "Tous les Hommes naissent et demeurent libres et égaux en droits et en dignité", or "All men are born and remain free and equal in rig...

I have not tried it yet as the trailer put me off. Seemed a bit to into pandering to the stereotypes of a contemporary audience.  So I have been waiting to hear what other folks think.

Sadly the bad influence of Josephine and her crique on Napoleon wasted a perfect opportunity for the french to estabilish a strong grip on the Caribbean. If France had choose to support the various...

@JTam Yes it`s hit and miss a bit, some parts not to bad, then you cringe, then you shudder , not a big fan of modern rock and roll with a 1940`s theam either. I want to like it but score it has at...

@Alessio De Carolis ah that's spot on, thank you! I knew I'd seen the guns before but couldn't place them; it's no wonder I couldn't find them amongst the Wargames Atlantic products! It's good...
