Do you hear the earth tremble at sound of clawed feet upon the earth? Do you see the clouds of dust kicked up by the swish of tails? Tremble then, human, at the coming of the Great Lizard Horde of...

@William Redford  Reference the battle.  You think it paints Magellan in a bad light?  Or the natives? It certainly doesn't paint a bad light on the natives.  They win. It do...

@William Redford  Great stuff.   Very informative on the Conquistador helmet.  Thanks for posting the painting.   I had a feeling the Conquistador helmet might have...

Big brush and craft brand acrylic does me just fine for undercoat. Never liked spray cans much. 

Wow, nicely done!  Great conversions and paint jobs!  Definitely need to snag me some halflings, now...

@JTam @Blutze I watched it last night on Prime. overall I liked it. It was only 6 episodes so I binged it in one go. I was surprised when the Chief told Magellan to enter his house, he said "masuk"...

@JTam As far as size. Anno Domini and hot and dangerous are slightly different scale. Anno Domini is 28mm and on the smaller more realistic side of 28mm. Hot and dangerous is 32mm. Some of the...

@JTam    On their FB page someone posted this:"If You wonder about helmet it is based on Juan de Borgoña paintings made in 1514 showing conquest of Oran. Cortez started his conqe...

Found an example of a Hot and Dangerous female Landsknecht painted up on Facebook: For that matter the Hot and Dangerous "Anno Domini" and "Conquistador" model aren't terrible fits for an La...

Hmm. Guess it makes sense for such a large unit to have them all with shields, pikes or shouldered ranged weapons, especially in a nominally historical kit. What I'm looking for is one of the faux-...

The tempting bit about that line is the identical 54mm variants. Because there are other things that can be... enlarged. But they are in resin, and the only images I can find is renders which never...

Here's a nice one: Looks like a great fit with the WGA kit: https://www.wargamerus.com/product/atotoztli-the-aztec-warrior-hd28-31/396 or https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147875018/Atotoz...

Picked this up at Ye Olde Hobby Lobby today. It's a hollow book that is held closed via a magnet.   This week it's 50% off "table decor" so I think this was about $11.00.  Glu...

Not just your opinion.....   Your minis look great!

Popped up in my feed today: (Someone does 6 minute abs).

@Steven StGeorges  I was privileged to visit the Musée de l'Armée at the Invalides in Paris in the long, long ago as well.  Indeed, back in the 35mm film days.  Marsha...

Yeah, these are from the Perry Mercenary box! I had one around but totally forgot about it ...   Some will need small cuts and/or Greenstuff to fill in the gaps, otherwise they look pretty g...

@András Csaba Horváth Are those perry arms? I used the Warlord ones for the same thing, But the Perry arms look real good, better than the Warlord ones.  

Handgunners WIP:

@JTam  Thanks mate I was expecting to find out a lot more digital pictures from various european military museums: like the Musée de l'Armée at the Invalides in Paris, the Mus&...

@Blutze No, The resting pike or greatsword right arms have a shared empty hand left that could be used.  I did make a duelist with a dagger left arm (frostgrave). 

Did you build any swordsmen with empty left hands (DoW duelists without any additional wargear, or variety for some free company) from the conquistador bodies? It looks like they are all leading wi...

Not sure about this gesso stuff. I've heard about it, but most of what I heard makes it seem a little weird and unintuitive, and nothing really struck me as an actual advantage. As for the price, a...

After that additional batch of natives showed on the dunes (just before the first, last and only musket "volley"), there was no macro information anymore. No wide shots of the sailors getting swarm...

While I support a zombification sprue, regular zombie kits do provide a slew of spare heads and arms. My original GW zombie box that was bought to make Blood Bowl figures in the late 90's continued...

@JTam This is a known effect. Some US accents are supposedly closer to 18thC English ones than modern English ones are. Although, as with here in Australia, there's a melting pot effect from the v...

@William Redford I have been to Maryland, and I liked it. Living in Portugal is very nice, except in what our hobby is concerned. If you are curious, I am originally from the Alentejo region, ...

@JTam The shift is gradual, and Brazil is a country that received influences from other European languages, like italian, that have no African or Asian influences, so they stayed as they were as ph...

@Steven StGeorges obrigado :)I normally use spraycans as primer and zenithal, but my wife has a ton of gesso (art teacher), so I might give ir a try.

@William Redford you might have to wait for September, but they are on their way :) Fell free to use my sugestions, I feel flattered and relieved I'm not that crazy.

Project coming together. Cards arrived: Trunk, rulebook, cards, and dice:

@Vitor Soares  Fascinating.  Thank You. Brazilian Portuguese being closer to old Portuguese is at first counter intuitive.  One would think the "colony" would diverge more. Althou...

@Blutze  I always find it fascinating how two people can watch the exact same thing and see completely opposite things. I thought the battle looked right.  There were some Spanish and o...

@Der Alex Der or more correctly "Huh, dot iz a nice Het!" ;)

@Vitor Soares Ahhhh. I cant wait to see what you come up with... and may steal... errr... follow your lead! :)

You live in Portugal. Well I am jealous. Maryland seems smaller and somehow lesser now. :) But Seriously though... Yeah no, I really am jealous. 

@Estoc basically any fancy hat, that makes you go:"huh, that's a nice hat" Can be anything vaguely napoleonic or just a particularly nice fez, as long as it's sufficiently impressive It's from a ...

@Vitor Soares  Bem-vindo meu amigo 🧐 I am using Gesso as primer for miniatures for decades now, and spraycans -cheap ones from Walmart, DIY or Dollar stores like Krylon, Rustoleum or some ob...

@Steven StGeorges I have never heard of using gesso as a primer, I have some, will have to try it. Thanks.

@William Redford exactly my ideia for the goblins.

@Steven StGeorges  Awesome Brother!   Amazing pictures of an amazing collection.  Thanks for sharing them. EDIT:  All kinds of great pieces.  But the great helm, pi...

@JTam They were. They are actually speaking it with a brazilian accent ( the actor is brazilian), which is the historically correct accent.Modern European Portuguese is much harder to learn for eng...

@William Redford I know the shop, and it sounds like a good ideia, but I live in Portugal, and the posting charges alone would make it almost better to buy the boxes. Also your idea, in theory, wou...

@Blutze Thanks, you were really helpful. I can work with those measures.

@Blutze  Manually applied Black Gesso -or tinted White Gesso- is far cheaper and even better than Primer spray cans -all of them whatever the brand. More infos there: https://ordinarygaming....

The United States Army did experiment with the concept of a single supporting gun to accompany a battalion on the attack. It was not a successful tactic because of the difficulty moving it forward....
