@JTam I really would have liked them to be dog like, slimmer and inverted legs. Why is every thing "Human" on steroids all of a sudden? . Can`t we get away from the human stature, and body struture...

@JTam Would you be thinking of Gorechosen? I seem to recall it did develop a bit of a following. A Trojan War boxed game would be great - if WGA would spend more time making new markets like this ...
@JTam I've started to notice that a lot regarding some of WA's box sets - the shots of the New Kingdom Egyptians we've seen and some of the Dark Ages Irish also look unnaturally ripped, especially ...
@Geoff Maybury Shield Wall the Hail Caesar expansion?
@Alessio De Carolis Reference: It sounds like Wargames Atlantic will be able to test the waters a little with the "Trojan Chariot" kit. It would be amazing if they (Wargames ...
@Alessio De Carolis Reference: I never thought about it that way before. You're right, it was a cataclysmic time.
@Berggeit I kind of missed this the first time around. (Out of state, limited internet). But this is a really cool idea. I hope you will post the army build here if you continue...
@JTam that would make a good kit in and of itself. Or two. Basically, make a kit for Mycenaean heroes (which would basically be 6 characters figs in one pack) and a set for the Trojans. &...
I don't buy the line that it was too hard to do the X staps; every other manufacturer (Warlord, Perry) does not seem to have any issues with that. Feels more like the sculptor made a mistake and it...
I think I may also jump on this band wagon. This idea would also translate to One Page Rules well. There are a lot of Feng Shui ornaments one can use as statue golems on sites like Ali Express. Yo...
Worth mentioning that any cardboard design can be done in plasticard too. The cost doesn't have to be excessive - you can often find polystyrene sheet used for packaging, such as stiffening shirts....
I've been considering the renders a little more, and the elbows-in-shoulders and wrists-in-elbows style arms are growing on me. If the armour is doing all the work, then the only real concern is th...
@Red Bee Halfling Cavalry are in "additional sculpting" according to the release schedule.
@Andy Phillips I just meant that the odds of the tankettes finding unsupported infantry in the desert were very low.
Here you go: Tomorrow i'll be fixing the overspray and adding the details (periscopes, lights, gun barrels and a coat of varnish before weathering). Let's hope there is not much work to do...
Well, that's what feedback is for. I expect the STLs are an early version made available as a bonus rather than the finished product. We see "returned for further sculpting" on the plastic sets all...
Very interesting photo. Not really surprising. The Italians had over 2.000 units, and the Germans had maybe 5.000 (or more) Austrian, Czech, Polish, Belgian, Dutch, French, Norwegian, Greek, Yugos...
These look great! How did you make them, I can't work out what set they're from?
There is some excellent Sci-fi Card models (free too) over at www.genetmodels.com -> Free stuff Dropships, Trucks, IFVs, 4*4s plus a whole host of scenery and scatter terrain. Apparently you ca...
Not bad... 👍 ... looks good... Weathering now?... no black or yellow colorstripes für that camo? I am exited...
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Oh they got around.
Real coffins on tracks ! Developed in the 1930s, especially in France, Italy (and Japan), tankettes, or "chenillettes" in French, found themselves completely outclassed after the war in Spain. The...
One of my favorite “What ifs...” is “What If Napoleon had not bent to the sugar plantation owners and reinstated slavery in the French Caribbean Islands?” Then the arm...
@Marc Nelson Jr.
Ene Anaiak (my Brothers), I suppose that the acronym SYW means Seven Years War... Right ? La Guerre de sept Ans, in French. The English were much wiser and more insightful than us, French. Not gi...
@Geoff Maybury Great details. So cool to have a piece of history and learn all its ins and outs. The Jeep owner was a great guy. Let my daughter get behind the wheel :)
@JTam Nice comparison to the British Bren Carrier mate.
@Steven StGeorges Amen to that, I loved his figures
@JTam You made my night, oh boy shes a gem , you can make out the handles on the wipers and the gravity bar that conects them great photo. If I`m not mistaken he`s a Thompson in the Garands rifle o...
Don't be hating because these Kobolds have been putting in the time and making MASSIVE GAINS at the gym!!!! These minis are jacked. Aren't Kobolds supposed to be weedy? Full disclosure...
@Grumpy Gnome I was typing my reply at the same time as you. Similar thoughts.
@Alessio De Carolis I checked two different sources that claimed the Italian tankettes were 30 cal proof. But I 100% believe you. Maybe they were proof against common ball ammo a...
I think the entire SYW is forgotten by most people. It kind of seems like a prelude for wars people actually are interested in. It also SUPERFICIALY didn't seem to have much history alt...
At the risk of sounding a bit contentious... tools need to be judged by their application. There is more utility to these kinds of Tankettes than just comparing them to heavier tanks. Or to s...
@Estoc Problem is that the lizard tail makes it clear that the dog heads are an afterthought. Like the canine heads do not mix well with lizard bodies. They got lizard feet, lizard tails, and they ...
@Caratacus Yeah, but for "Eastern Dragon" heads they're very much miss instead of hit.
Halfling Ice Queen? Winning!
Yes. I definitely need some halfling winged hussars for my Halfling Queen.
@Alessio De Carolis Quite the visionary. It looks like at least one his books was translated into English and is available now: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/electric-life-albert-robida...
They work well for their purpose, which is savage dog-men instead of the usual lizard goblins. I can understand why you might be unhappy, but I love these guys. Once again, wish they were real though.
@Geoff Maybury Looked it (The Nevers) up. Looks interesting, but I don't have HBO.
@Charles Tottington I thought D&D Dragonborn were based on Western dragons, rather than the Eastern ones whose heads can be seen on the Kobold models?
@Geoff Maybury I had no idea the windshield wipers on a jeep worked like that. Great detail. It's true most military equipment is a nightmare to maintain now. The only good thin...
Also, those dragon heads........ they just don't scream Kobold to me they scream DnD Dragonborn but uglier.
@JTam Oh, somebody already made a post about them. To be honest with you guys, I don't like them. They're too buff, the dog heads do not match the bodies at all, the only thing I really like are th...
Well... we got Kobolds... only one problem. THEY! ARE! CHONK! This looks..... oof. Man, that is badly proportioned. Yeah it is easy to tell where the problems are with this image. There is...
Have you ever looked into One Page Rules' Age of Fantasy: Regiments? It has a lot of the Oldhammer feel, but there is custom unit calculator on their Patreon, (the math isn't that har...
The late Mediterranean Bronze Age was very important in human history, a lot of civilizations rise, for some historians the fall of most of them was more devastating than 5th century fall of wester...
The "American" part of SYW has always been a bit neglected by most people (well, until M. Mann's movie). there were some tv miniseries (one with SWAT's Steve Forrest)and some movies, but generally ...
