@Patrick Salvail Outstanding work. Looks a bit like a Puma... Which makes sense.

@Geoff Maybury Fascinating detail. Is that screw plug on the Centurian?
The aluminum armor melting isn't actually a big deal. Hear me out. Pound for pound aluminum armor is generally stronger than steel. The M113 had armor equivalent to any APC...
Greetings, I’m Pat and I’ve been collected and painting figurines since 1987. I’ve started with GW stuff (first with their plastic Rogue Trader Space Marines ) and ...
I wonder which Periods of Antiquity you folks do play? Because the Poll limit you to only one possible answer, choose your favorite Period and comment which further Periods you also play.
@Joshua Qualtieri I would certainly be in the market for a couple of 28mm Kites. They are part of the charm of the world you have created. And it looks like a bunch of my 1/43 WW2...
@Joshua Qualtieri Yes, that is a commonly tragic turn of events it seems. Well, perhaps this forum space may work for you as a back up to Discord and Facebook?
@Joshua Qualtieri I like the mix of hats covering their eyes that you have created, very pleased with the heads in caps on the sprue. But hatless heads being available is a great idea as well....
There was going to be a bare head... with eyes!... on the sprue but we ran out of room. I'll release that through zombiesmith as one of the bits you can modify the plastics with. When they have ha...
It was used less and less as time went by. Folks went to facebook or discord, etc. I'm tempted to restart a forum.
I do have a 6mm kite and already and two 15mm kites that I haven't released, but will soon. One of those wouldn't be too hard in 28mm as a resin print I could sell. One of the folks in my gaming gr...
@Grumpy Gnome When they have eyes they remind me of the Skeksis.
@Grumpy Gnome Survivalist figures in the crooked dice range, match this brilliant program , thank you my friend for bringing back more fond memories.
I think the Quar are often sculpted with hats obscuring their eyes... which is both good and bad. The good, it makes painting easier. The bad, they lose a bit of personality. It does seem a consist...
@Steffen Seitter Better yet, I hope Warlord makes some for both standard and Epic Hail Caesar.
As soon as I saw these I thought 'Woodies!' Not that far from where I live there is a reconstructed 17th Century village called Little Woodham, and one aspect of the volunteers' own little...
@Alessio De Carolis The book actually in graphic detail gives the events of a destroyed M113 that loses all crew + most troops in a mine incident. The pictures of the complete front hul...
@Geoff Maybury@JTam When you two were talking about “The Last Train” I was reminded of the classic post-apoc British TV series... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36mN5kmB3qA&...
@Mark Dewis true. I just don't have much in that genre. I have some wss guns, and some Napoleonic ones. Older ones I have ECW, the conquistadors and Perry mercs. The raise the black pirates sh...
I remember reading about Sheridan's problems, expecially its vulnerability to mines, and how some literally melted (!) when on fire. Another problem was the low ROF of the main gun, more than 90 s ...
@Mark Dewis You're right, if you think about the Brown Bess musket, it was in british service for about a century, in its versions, being replaced only when arrived the newer rifled muskets and the...
@Joshua Qualtieri What became of the Quar Invasion forum? Did you decide to migrate that forum community to Facebook?
@Joshua Qualtieri Do you intend to make aircraft as well as the new tractors for 28mm? If yo, have you considered airships as well as the smaller aerocraft like the Kite? Have y...
I had intended to use Quar to play Chain of Command by Toofatlardies but having been reading This Quar’s War 1.0 the last couple of days I think I may just switch to that game instead. Perhap...
I really hope those Punic War Miniatures are for a HC Epic Battles release..
I thought my browser was skipping at first! Also I'll put my Grognards against your Eihenjar any day. We'll see who surrenders!
@William Redford Yes, not very Landsknecht-y, but that's a bad a*s mini: Might work in a Kislivite Army/Mordheim gang though.
@Mark Dewis I have some of the ogor gluttons as well as some mournfangs in a traditional GW ogor army. I also bought some mournfangs I plan on converting to have WA Ogres on... I actually really li...
Let's not totally overlook GW. This chap comes standard with the Blood Bowl box set and a few might be going around cheap (as a seperate purchase h'es very overpriced, though): The Ogre team spr...
@Steven StGeorges I did some of this. Chose bionic parts so that you can see they are SPACE pirates and not the regular sort. Frostgrave Barbarian bodies do not look out of place either. @Wi...
Okay. I assumed they were the same scale - never collected either. Thanks for the correction on Epic.
The Ultraviolet Berets got basing, final touch ups and unit patch on the weekend. It's a little hard to see, but the patch is a black circle with a purple rim and lightning bolt.
@Geoff Maybury Treasure your hard copy:
@Geoff Maybury That looks like great read. Thank You for the recommendation. I read some books about U.S. armor in Vietnam, but not Australian. Then M48 was a beast on the battl...
@Steffen Seitter What I like about the 10mm Warmaster minis is that your 15mm terrain largely still works. That's just a bigger building instead of a complete hovel.
Not upsetting people is probably now the most hardest thing to do in our lives, I hope you all know me well enough to know that l like and respect most folk, lifes too short to fight or...
@Steven StGeorges The only thing lacking is pirate black powder weapons.
The weather that we "British seem so preocupied with at the moment, is dark, wet, and bloody depressing. Added to which I`ve a hole in my gum the diamiter of my little finger were a tooth as ...
@Benjamin Hayward Just mix some minis from Frostgrave Pirate Crew box with ... Frostgrave Cultists and Stargrave Crew or Mercenary boxes and voilà
Right; Epic was 6mm and WM 10mm.
Didn't have time to really look for the pics. But this one was the easiest to see on my search. It's kind of boob plate. Just a little more subtle.
@Mark Dewis I thought the Epic 40k minis were 6mm and Warmaster minis 10mm?
@JTam the bodies too. On the thread on Dakka, there are 2 sprues. One male. One female. The female sprue has 3 bodies with a more obvious female upper half. I don't think they have "boob plate...
@William Redford @Geoff Maybury That Cabbage Patch/Garbage Pail thing was mostly in reference to the heads: But I also meant their armor looks like the Garbage Pail Kids version of Worl...
@Geoff Maybury yeah, I figured the dolls. Especially since@JTam also mentioned Garbage Pail kids. Just thought that was funny in a harsh way. I really don't like most of mantic's figures...
@William Redford It could be a reference to the way "Cabbage Patch dolls were made and sold or the fact rabbits raid the cabbages that much "they are all over the place" a saying we "Brits " are fo...
@JTam true enough, but since they have the option of black powder guns... they at least would look to be part of the same time setting. Cabbage patch? :)
@Steffen Seitter Now that's interesting - Warlord currently sell Agema's Republican Roman and Carthaginian Veteran box sets, but it would be great if they made some of their own plastics for variet...
@Mark Dewis Nope, with so many ancient civilisations out there still lacking plastic box sets, there's no such thing as enough love for Ancients.
