@Mark DewisDewis I live in a volcanic island, so even the construction sand is a nice mix of several sizes, with colors from deep black to light grey. It makes basing a lot easier, let me tell you....

Ultimately, the question for each voter is this: Are you going to use them? I have active use for legendary medieval (King Arthur and Charlemagne), general science fiction (Stargrave, Traveller), V...

@Vitor Soares Yeah. I used to use Spackle, and it's good. I find it a little more fiddly to apply, but it probably dries better, and doesn't shrink. My one complaint with the air dry clay is that i...

Ala Jainkoa ! Oh Lord ! The proud and "boiling" country of the Inquisition, of "el garrote vil", of the Gernika bombing (bloody death, just for civilians : men, women and children together), the f...

@Steven StGeorges it is. The battle of La Lys is  studied in school here, it was the worst defeat of the Portuguese Army since Alcácer-Quibir, in 1578. There were many factors, but the ...

@Vitor Soares rewatched Hero on the Front or Soldado Milhões for you... quite a great movie about the portuguese expeditionary Corps. 👍

Well, the time is 12 september and it seems that Goths are still far away. At least from Poland. The local distributor said, that those minis are not in Europe yet. Did enyone of yours (Europeans o...

@Steven StGeorges  I loved The Terror. 

@Mark Dewis I use a similar method. I don't use air dry clay, I think you call what I use spackle. Then I use the construction sand, they give it away for free here. 

@JTam  And... what about some solo rules?

Ah the upcoming movie from Edward Berger; mostly known as diretor of episodes of german police procedural tv series -like the legendary Tatort or quite interesting Policezeiruf 110- or De...

@Andreas Mayrhofer  Impressive as usual Andreas ... cannot wait for more 😁

@JTam i am aware of the origins of starcraft, and the lore of 40K. My point was that the specific shot angles and format is too similar to the SC vid to not be intentional, especially given that th...

The current international trade situation seems to be heavily impacting this hobby when it comes to the small businesses. WGA seems to be big enough now to deal with distribution better than smalle...

Just a pity we cna only vote once. There's several I'd like to se made eventually.

The Drowned Earth looks to be  a good idea, only fly in the oitment is prices, £45 for 5 human figures,  £12 , £15 for 1 figure . Dinos £60 for that one above , ou...

They needed Udo Kier from Iron Sky.

@Mark Dewis I will admit some interest in Pulp female models for say John Carter of Mars or The Land That Time Forgot.

@Benjamin Hayward Yes. THAT is why I mostly want generic "Tribals" - that is, halter top and loincloth. Most of the likely projects would be fantastic ones - Fantasy rogues, barbarians and mages, S...

also...

@fodzilla hello, the front legs of the mmg are wider than 25mm... there is not enough space for the gunner in a 32mm, so a 40mm would be the smallest base to fit both gunner and gun. As i discovere...

@JTam Holy macaroni, that's AMAZING!  I just occured to me that the door on his stomach means you can walk around in this guy's chest cavity! 🤘😆🤘

@Mark Dewis  OK.... Narrow hipped if you prefer..  

Something like this reproduction French Schneider tank ,built off of an old tractor, would have looked better. The suspension looks a lot closer to the original than the BMP suspension 

@Mark Dewis those do look better. I have said a couple times thst I am not a scifi player a lot... but I did not really like the bulldogs. But... I do like their basic guns. But these look pre...

@JTam Assault engineers in 28mm would be nice! As far as i know, the only plastic soviet AE around are those from the DUST boardgame... wich are much too tall.

@Mark Dewis yeah, that's been one of my go-tos for minis in bulkier, figure-concealing get-ups: put a female head on it and it looks fine. Where separate female figures are needed are sets with cl...

@JTam They aren't wasp waisted at all. It's ALL in the shoulder pads. (Edit: Maybe a *little* in the jacket skirt.)

@Carsten Ohlsson Ladies in realistic chain or other heavy body armour basically look the same as men; it usually comes down to head choice. You could always mix ranges that have differing scales if...

@Vitor Soares Thanks. The next phase (which I've done for these) is to fill with Crayola air-dry clay. Then whatever texture plan is going to be used (default is PVA then dipped in coarse builder's...

@Stephen Sutton I'm pretty sure if you compare them to Caidian Guard, they're very much the same size. I have some spares of those, so I might do some comparison shots. I should also mention I don...

Eh, there's already a bunch of offerings. Just look at the discussions around William's conquistador and landsknecht armies. It certainly makes DoW and Empire the cheapest factions to get started ...

@Grumpy Gnome  It's hard to pull off a cape.

Somehow I managed to avoid facebook even back when those things were called "social networks" instead of social media, and we didn't really know better. Now though, we do know, and I have every lit...

I don't see the hair as a problem at all.  Mermaids have floating hair that is off the shoulders.  Gorgons have non-napping snake hair. Oh, you're thinking underwater. I must have been...

@JTam  I am reminded of this incident... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/28/fitness-tracking-app-gives-away-location-of-secret-us-army-bases

There are as you have said many villains... but to me the least interesting was the German Nazi Officer. I have seen plenty of interesting German Nazi Officer villains and was not one of them. He w...

Been a while since I read that one. And I'm pretty sure it was off my mother's boyfriend's shelves, so I don't actually have a copy floating around now... same with Schwejk I think. Shame, I probab...

@JTam  Thanks man, i really appreciate it. I always thought that the renaissance period is a really slept on period of time with vibant armies, important battles and tie ins to other genres ...

Pictures of this amazing thing painted up: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/58922/plastic-multipart-giant At the bottom.  (Just realized they were the same creature.)

@William Redford @Grumpy Gnome  Finally saw "Cold Skin."  Interesting.  Well done.  High production values.  I enjoyed it enough.  Certainly didn't feel like I wasted...

@Blutze  I don't see the hair as a problem at all.  Mermaids have floating hair that is off the shoulders.  Gorgons have non-napping snake hair.   Likewise with the poses...

@Estoc like @Grumpy Gnome wrote, it really depends on what is your ideia. Both kits are very good, but I tend towards the Late Romans, purely personal opinion.

@Mark Dewis they look like a nice generic kit for sci-fi. I like your basing, by the way 😁

@Grumpy Gnome  I was fine with the ending.  I can't really go into it without spoilers.   I assume you are referring to the tall German as the main villain?   Ah, b...

They look like nice figures, good buy, congratulations. 

The book is a classic and should be mandatory reading. I honestly really like it.The 1979 was a really good adaptation. Let us hope this one will be good too.

@Grumpy Gnome  Units (US Army) are collecting up phones before going into the "box" at the big rotation centers (NTC, JRTC, etc.)   The enemy drops arty on where ever three or more...

@Grumpy Gnome @Atlas Allen-Manning @Jerome Klahr  Speaking of the War of 1812.... This outstanding conversion was posted on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/460868411...

I regret ever joining Facebook in the first place, and encouraging others to do so “back in the day”. Oh how naive I was then. I am very glad I never got into TikTok, Twitter or Instagr...
