@JTam my father spoke with some guys that had fought in NA, and they said that the .303 AP of the vickers could pierce the (tin) armour of these ...things, and in Spain had appened the same thing, ...

@Mark Dewis @JTam Did you both like our "The Nevers"  Eileen and myself found it refeshingly different  now waiting for the second series. 

@JTam Yes I`d say a lot of homes still use these but the new flush just over the basin arrived about mid 1990`s  still alot of middle class and posher go old stlyle. Me if it works don`t fix i...

@Grumpy Gnome Now if only we could do something about the 200% mark up we`d all be so happy. E-bey only as so much, and I`ve a small amount of sadness for the poor guy who brought it full price. Th...

@Mark Dewis Love the Tau, very "Manga" great off E-bey etc, and the Kroot must be one of the most kit bashed subjects (great with Rubicon Marine or VC arms) from sprue spares, also work for Afgans ...

I think it is nice to see GW have a few less skulls all over the place and making the weapons a little smaller. Maybe the makers of Nerf guns complained... but whatever the reason, works for me.

@Mark Dewis are you saying they didnt fight in the North African campaigns? Or that we dontbsee the remains because they were destroyed utterly (by said Dale... er.. Matilldas)?   While I cl...

@Allan Lougheed  Huh.  The back IS odd. It's regrettable that we are now forced to attach the packs.  I guarantee you few brought those a trench raiding. I agree with you they...

Other thing I need: a saddled Halfling body for the chickens. It would be perfect for One Page Rules. 

@Allan Lougheed To say the least there is a lot that could be added to an additional sprue. Wargames Atlantic does have an upgrade sprue for deathfields so producing one for the British might be a ...

As far as officer equipments, you really need the Sam Browne type belt. Which the French officer has. Warlord are a good source for weapons - they retail their sprues direct and the WW2 British on...

A week really is a lifetime on the internet. I've been so wrapped up in other things I just noticed the announcement today. But this is really cool and I'm very glad to get these in plastic. Someon...

Warlord Black Friday Sale:

@JTam totally agree that WHFB works for mythic/legendary stuff such as this.

I really dig the Adeptus Mechanicus, but not enough to buy anything retail (except for the one box of Skitarii I have); everything else I snagged at a bargain second-hand.  Mostly bits to kitb...

Brown cam completed and tomorrow evening should be able to add the dark yellow. Then a lot of touching up before weathering.   Pat

@Geoff Maybury totally agree. My main GW days were in the 00's, though I have been around long enough to remember the 80's version.  The 40K stuff is largely unusuable for general science fic...

@Alessio De Carolis to paraphrase Dr Who: L3 Tankettes: "We have five million Tankettes! How many are you?" Matildas: "Four!" L3 Tankettes: "You would destroy the Tankettes with four Matildas?" ...

@JTam a lot of us prefer Victorian Science Fiction (VSF) as a term instead of Steampunk. And for that matter, if the setting is more in line with Wells and Verne (such as Space:1889) and avoids the...

@Grumpy Gnome  I've generally been very pleased with Brigade Games minis.  I think the Warlord line is a lot more variable in quality.  (Some metals very good, others less so). ...

I think both sculptors are better than me and it is hard for me to say one is definitively better than the other. I would need to paint up both and then try to decide which to keep.

Hmmh..... Who did it better? Or:

@Bill Thomas  Good call on the Boxers.  I didn't realize there was a broom handle on the sprue.   All that bare wrist would facilitate the old drill out the end of the arm a...

@Andy Phillips  They were evidently proof against at least .30 cal/medium machineguns.  Consequently a real problem/threat against Infantry without organic antitank assets.

Trojan War Heroes. Now "Trojan Chariot(s)" is a confirmed plastic kit Wargames Atlantic is working on. And I hope the will also do plastic regiments: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xen...

@ALEXANDER SMITH @Andy Phillips  Good ideas.

I started rereading the Iliad and taking little notes on characters, events, skills, etc.  To create scenarios (far less important now ;) ) and possibly little rules mods for whatever rule set...

@Mark Dewis @William Ings @Rob Broom  I like Odysseus as much as the next man.  Although I far prefer the Iliad to the Odyssey...that's just me.  But as noted, he did survive the ...

@Rob Broom  Will your Trojan War/Conflicts in the vicinity campaign book have any mythological flavor/rules?  Not necessarily suggesting it, just curious.

@Rob Broom  This is fantastic news.  Looking forward to both your books.   I hope you will post on this forum when the the Greek/Persian campaign book is released.  It ce...

Thanks All.  I now have a Minors in Siocast.

@Geoff Maybury  No.  Just one of those classic pieces floating around the internet.   Do you guys (UK)  do the toilet tank overhead with the pull chain?  I've always...

@Alessio De Carolis  Nice analogy.

@JTam yes, I noticed that, and one on the Boxers sprue too I think? And again yes; the "Lord Flash" figure was the WI show figure for SALUTE... 2019 I think from memory. I created a "pulp" style a...

@Mark Dewis it's not a casuality that in the italian army they were called "Arrigoni" from a brand of tomatoes' juice in tin cans, guess why? Imagine going with one of these against a british Matilda!

Cannon Fodder:Civilian work tools options and air tanks to make the use of the face mask heads more space like

@Mark Dewis yeah theyre smaller than a jeep really. Silly to think they take up a tank slot in Bolt Action 🤪

I think some new arm options for the WW1/WW2 French would be cool such as VB Launchers and some melee arms with spades, trench knives, etc.

Emergency response minis. Cops, firefighters and paramedics would have definite use in many modern gaming scenarios. There's some overlap there, especially between cops and paramedics, but also fi...

At the end of the day, GW, WGA, 3D print, repurposed toys, scratch built from card, it's all a matter of assessing the time, effort and money you're willing to pour into a project. My old 40K Ork a...

They look so out of scale, but they really were that small.

More Greek, Late Roman and 11th century stuff :-D

@Hudson Adams oh yeah, I know it and love it, but having a print version would be nice. 

@Bill Thomas  I'll check out "Scouts Out.".   Thank You. The pictured miniature is a great choice.  Is that a Wargames Illustrated mini? There's a "broom handle" on the Frenc...
