Airfix have done dinos in the past. There was a reprinting of them as recently as 2005, aparrently. But unscaled. I don't have a size for them.

I put in a big order earlier in the week that included the Barbarian ladies. I'll get the Stargrave preorder done later in the month - just waiting to see what else might pop up on discount in the ...
Well, I preordered Stargrave mercs 2 and Frostgrave Barbarians 2 from Northstar.
We can look at some of the plastic dinosaur kits out there to see how a kit could be layed out/broken down. We can also see if any are 28mm-ish. (A lot of these kits are out of pr...
I'd most likely be using dinosaurs for pulp "Burroughs" style games. Exact scale not a requirement. Certainly all the lions and bears are described as gigantic as opposed to normal exam...
We got Zombies! Studio Miniatures plastic zombie Germans left and Warlord Games "Totenkorps" zombie Germans right: Detail of the Studio Miniatures plastics: Thoughts: 1. It'...
A further point about "realistic" dinosaurs... Are you happy to mix Cretaceous with Jurassic and Triassic? My stance is that you can't be that fussy about sizes (within reason) if your'e happy to ...
@Steven StGeorges I Googled "Polygon Kill Team Review." https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.polygon.com/platform/amp/23331402/warhammer-40k-kill-team-into-the-dark-space-hulk-review Good read...
@William Redford if you read one of my previous posts, one of the few places were I went in the US was, in fact, Baltimore. I went on work, but of course visited Edgar Allen Poe's grave, unfortunat...
@Steven StGeorges Damn Brother, you just educated me. Thank You!
Here is a pic of the Inner Harbor
@Blutze Excellent points.
@Vitor Soares Maryland has some really nice places... but we also have some real cess pits too. Baltimore keeps increasing the number of murders each year... and that's pronounced Ballmore... here ...
@Steven StGeorges The Enforcers just don't float my boat. I'm well aware that the Enforcers are different than Adeptus Arbites, but did you ever read this?: Permanently turned me off to ...
@Steven StGeorges Not familiar with Quiqui. Googled it. This conversation took an unexpected turn.
@Steven StGeorges Cape Verde is really nice... Just really, really expensive. In Madeira you should check out the Levadas Trails. But only with a guide, they can be dangerous on your own.
@JTam Oh and do you take a look at Necromunda Palanite Enforcer Patrol With one mere 47$US box you can build up to 10 Enforcers with quite a vast array of options: - 6 Enforcer shotguns- 6...
@Vitor Soares Fair and simple reply: too many stuff to do in Lisbon to even think exploring the surroundings my friend. We did spend hours visiting museums and palaces.. one week was not eno...
@Steven StGeorges I can't believe you went to the south and not to Évora, my hometown, one of the most historical cities in Portugal, and one with 5 different wine regions around it, some of...
@Vitor Soares Bread .. that is another point. Even so-called French bakeries over here are serving a barely edible French stick: too salty, way too much overcooked or not cooked enough.. and...
@JTam But... where is Quiqui? And I am almost 99% quite sure Dan Abnett did use the battle of Fort de Vaux in his Gaunt Ghosts' novel "Only in Death".. an awesome book.
She'd probably scale better with Games Workshop Empire My 7th (?) edition state troops are actually closer to the Perry and WGA boys than to the H&D Jeanne, though indeed somewhere inbetween...
@JTam Mmm the Groupes Francs also known as Corps-Francs or simply Corps Francs -not related at all with post WWI German Freikrops- are quite an interesting point of the French Military. Les...
I believe the base "dinosaurs" are Games Workshop "Cold Ones" (more or less Raptors) and this thing: Mostly. The red one with the elf knight is a 7th edition dark elf cold one, currently sold as...
@JTam More like Kill Team than SH to my mind.. with specialists and so forth.. Building the Fort is quite simple -thanks to your interesting link to Wargames Illustrated: mere carved ...
@JTam I was wondering about doing the same actually thanks to polygon review of the upcoming KT boxes. The SHesque terrain is quite appealing to me ... Already preordered the Elucidian Stars...
@Geoff Maybury All good points on 1/56 dinosaurs being collectible/displayable... but also great for gaming/converting. The first Triceratopish model is a standard GW Lizardmen ...
@Mark Dewis For me the Schleich stuff is among the worst - it's way too tall and out of proportion for a rex, and that's even with the 'Jurassic Park' filter on. The one Schleic model I might go f...
@JTam even if I still played WFB, I would still use halberds, I am more of a rule of cool kind of guy.
@Steven StGeorges I understand your pain, I have lived in Britain and Croatia (as well as Spain, but they have good wine), so I know how the suffering of not getting whatnyou are used to. We were t...
Hi J-Tam ,Mark,Grumpy, nice pictures guys guess those eleven are GW? dam , they look niceand the Lizard men howdaw. Thing is theres two for the price of one, if the Dinos are scaled with Prehistori...
No, I cant find it. I think he posted the pics as a reply to some one not as a post. So I cant find it just looking through the photo section... But hopefully he will see this post as I tagged him ...
@Slow Painter Short anwer. NO. And yeah its a pain in the butt. But... someone posted a pic with parts highlighted and colored from their own trial and error. I believe it was @Araden Kwyll . I wil...
Hi everyone, just what is probably a very silly question. I've recently bought the British Riflemen and Conquistadors boxes, but I have absolutely no idea which arms are supposed to be paired (the ...
Yes. It's the smaller and largest ones that tend to be the problem, as the toy ones (like Matchbox cars) are sized to the packaging, not to a common scale. I find regular, non-prehistoric, animals ...
@Mark Dewis Which is great If you are after a T-Rex. Do not get my wrong I have used Schleich myself for a Triceratops but there are other species that folks are after... especially if WGA mak...
$25 gets you this (fully painted): https://www.schleich-s.com/en/US/dinosaurs/products/tyrannosaurus-rex-14525.html 11" long (27cm) for a 13m long T-Rex comes to a scale of... 1/48. If you use ...
@Blutze I was more saying that halberds were a "legitimate" weapons choice for Ogres in an Oldhammer Empire list. Between halberds and great weapons for Ogres, I'd probably go with gre...
Currently my Daughter is super pumped about Halloween and makes me make her Halloween critters in Playdoh. Maybe I should just make all the Silver Bayonet creatures out of Playdoh,...
Picked up some cultists: A "ghost": And two werewolves: (The gigantic one is from Anno Domini.)

@Brian Van De Walker Exactly, it's more or less Space Hulk. Except instead of Terminators you get Stormtroopers, and instead fighting through the corridors of a Space Hulk you fight th...
@JTam Hmm, inresting thought since I am working on a rule set and have been leaning towards Victorian-WW1/2 "industral Fantasy" setting for it debute, though I get the feeling your talking a "histo...
@H M If they came with parts to upgrade them for fiction gaming (saddles, etc.) might be a good fit, but I kind of feel the prepainted toy dinos out there beat everyone to the punch for 28mm games ...
@Don Williams Well,well, let me know if you want them off your hands via PM😉 How many extra bodies are we talking here?
@Steven StGeorges No silly question at all. It's made from two Lego canopy pieces
Alternate take. Similar concept to above but the tiles represent lengths of trench, bunkers, machinegun positions, etc. Representing a trench fight/trench clearing the game could then be ta...
@Steven StGeorges A game/box set like this would be an auto buy for me. There's nothing like it in historical wargaming.... And of course I love Space Hulk and Warhammer Quest....
@Steven StGeorges The whole box Brother. GW got me on this one. Cool concept (super close quarters combat/ship boarding), cool terrain, two very cool factions. Couldn't say...
@Chris Guy Could still be an oversight. Better to send an enquiry that picks that up than to sit and say nothing for weeks or months.
