Above is the 1/64th Matchbox Hovercraft, these machines I`m geating ready for my "Dinos" and the new Ooh - Rahs.
Above is a coverted Matchbox, "TowingTractor" towing what will be an"Enginering Trailer". Scale being 1/64th. The Hum-Vee is a 1/64th Corgie. The Quad is a toy also1/64th, the figure on Quad is EMC...
Well you all know my beliefs I`m 1/56th all the way, but unlike the rest of you, now Iv`ve dumped the major load of my minis I`ve only 1/64 th cars and WGA,WGF, and Warlord Project Z, Metal C...
I really want skeleton cavalry and chariots. I think the chariots will be based on Trojan war kits, so I'm looking forward to that stuff coming out so I can get more skeletons. Being the contest w...
@Mark Dewis Perhaps the Clangers? @Joshua Qualtieri Message received, reply imminent. Thanks again! Mrs. GG is coming to accept that a Quar project is on the horizon now. They will look ...
So... I had never run across these guys before, but they strongly remind me of some childrens' book characters, and it's not the Wombles or Moomins. But I can't put my finger on which ones. They ma...
It's sad to see cannibal skeletons. Just seems like a waste of a good meal. Nom nom.
These look really nice. And will be physical models!
In a science fiction context, you're usually adapting a historical kit to be an ahistorical vehicle, and it doesn't matter if it turns out bigger than the original. In that respect, 40K isn't the v...
While there are few detailed armour descriptions in LoTR, there is this verse of the Song of Earendil: "In panoply of ancient kings,in chainéd rings he armoured him;his shining shield was s...
It may be worth noting there's a big difference between something like Spacenam, where the parent company owns the IP and trademarks, and a historical venture like 02 Hundred where no IP is involve...
So clearly there weren't any observant Quar fans around when we were discussing what the symbol might be... 😄
With great pleasure, Comrade... As a Basque(-Roman) reenactor, I was a veteran of the Sertorius' Army in the Pyrenean Mountains (Sertorian war, Iacetania - Huesca, from 80 to 72 BCE), then defenso...
@JTam For what, specficially, are you looking for? Miniatures should be designed for a specific period, people, civilization, unit type, etc. and designers should use proper historical res...
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy What better sources do you recommend?
@Lord Marcus I would tend to think new edition will not invalidate the supplement books. 90% of the "Armies of.... " books stayed the same when Bolt Action 2nd Edition came out. &...
@Grumpy Gnome Hey! I tried to reply on LAF but I'm not sure it went through. Its not in my sent messages. Let me know!
@Caratacus it is the only excuse. The bottom line rules all. at least for miniatures companies with a limited customer base.
ugh. More books to buy. 1rst edition plays well.
The problem, in my opinion, is not really the scale of the vehicles "per se", but what I want to do with them... using minis I like. The WW2 minis from Warlord are awesome, but they are definitely...
Great to see you on here@Joshua Qualtieri ! I have to admit I am quite taken by your world building, even if I am as usual... late to the party. Especially the fantastically quirky and “...
First time I've ever heard of the Quar as well. After finding that the rules were on a free discount I immediately snatched them. There's just something about these space ant eaters that interest m...
@Mark Dewis Go to the top of the class with a "Blue Peter Badge" or should that be a"Royist Flag" Quar.
QUAR! QUAR! QUAR! Bring on the little "Pykpyk" Squirels.
@Grumpy Gnome Quar it is then my "Jolly little Gnome"and I think we will join you bring on the "Maybury SQUIRELS"
Hi all! I didn't know Hudson had added a Quar section. I'm glad everyone (for the most part!) is intrigued by the Quar. Been a passion of mine since I was a kid!
What “looks right” is subjective to the eye of the beholder since none of these models ever seem to be consistently scaled accurately. So whatever works for you, works for you. My take...
A couple more great blogs with excellent Quar info... http://deltavector.blogspot.com/2012/06/song-of-our-ancestors-quar-skirimish.html and.... http://bandit86.blogspot.com/search/label/Quar?max...
OK, I have to revise my previous comment. While I am excited and looking forward to each WGA release... I have become a bit obsessed with the Quar. I could not pick a most anticipated set before bu...
@Hudson Adams Hi, I toatlly support the comment of GG above and whilst I do back and support your venture into printing. I have far more reservations than GG. Not wishing to dwell on negative thoug...
@Mark DewisHmm, mostly true, to be honest I was commenting on just Warlord's WW2 plastics (ironicly Warlord's WW2 metals seem to be truer to scale on the whole from what I can see, and they are not...
@Mark Dewis gun toting beastmen is probably best bet for other than intended fantasy gaming outside of homebrew races and SF. I think it might be more conversion than its worth to change the bodies...
@H MIf your complaining about my nomads and Turks, now you know how I feel about your Greeks and Romans you seem to see in every nook and cranny like that’s all there is to non-medieval Europ...
@Brian Van De Walker Panzer Vor! What works visually, works. Warlord (and to some degree Perry) proportions come back to never being 100% plastic and having to cater for metal components of...
I think we've pretty much discussed this to death by now and our opinions are pretty clear; thanks for a good back and forth, Brian! At the end of the day, you can probably email Jes Goodwin and a...
I note that the palm without swastika, or "Afrika" swapped in is often seen as a gaming alternative. That's what Battlefront have chosen to do for Flames of War products: They universally use ...
@H M Ooh, you have sparked an idea. I picked up a single sprue of Irish to test turning the dogs into Vargr aliens (which worked fairly sweetly) and was going to turn the humans into generic...
@Grumpy Gnome Looks to be. Here's a Royalist patch:
Sweet stuff. I could definitely see using them as is as aliens. You could probably head swap them into Dwarves or Halflings. Or other aliens.
@Geoff Maybury Sadly I saw it in an ebay lot a long time ago (that I didn't win🤣 so I am as Quarless as the rest of you in the "I have the stuff" department🤣), but I think artwork of it is on the c...
@Don Williams Hmmm, well you, GG, Jtam, etc. may think 1/48 works better and be very vocal about it, but I get the distinct feeling tanks, tankettes, etc. from WW2 and RL are just smaller than you ...
Thank you, "adiskidea", you answered my question. Very interesting. As a former reenactor (Roman Republic and Aquitanian-Basque Proto-History), I like to know what motivates each of the History en...
I am 100% on your line, Steffen. Republican legions under Marius, Sylla, Sertorius, Pompey father and son, Caesar, Crassus, Marc Antony, Octavus-Augustus, etc., with possibilities of "westernizing...
@William Redford Yes my dear friend Toatly right ,(I be your devil consious). God they are bloody cute Eileen loves them paticullary the Caverrsey.
@Brian Van De WalkerDon`t supose you could post a picture of that "Tank " could you and what fraction it belongs to please?
"Fart" the Grey had a headache, he was also very angry and distressed. Tonight he had his first meeting at a hall in Area 51 with the humans of Majestic 7. His colleagues had all been given magnifi...
@Mark Dewis also Odysseus survived the war. Not many heros did.
If Warlord Games bringt a HC Epic "Romans vs Germans" Thema, I'm sure they repeat the same mistakes and bring only Early (Claudian) Imperial Legionaries with Lorica Segmentata but neglect those wit...
