@lauregami Yeah those Ogres... I am debating 3 vs 5 boxes

I adore those bugs...giving me ideas for possible Stargrave games! Can't decide between fantasy and sci-fi....leaning toward sci-fi now because of all the really exciting Death Fields stuff coming ...

@GreenScorpion Portugal and her Colonies are very relevant, but it's part of the Brazilian Empire. The Portuguese court transferred to Brazil in 1808(or something, I'm not going to look up the...

@GreenScorpion  Gnolls (I do mean the kit mixed with bits from others especially Cultists) are already used in Stargrave to depict some alien scavengers -with limited chameleonide abilities; ...

What information do we have so far about the set's weapon/head options and release priority (obviously ETA is impossible to ask about at this stage)? I have been anticipating this set since it was ...

The whole setting is reminding me of Castle Falkenstein (especially Babbage)....with a touch of Southern Victory aka Timeline 191. But no Verne Interballistic Cannons... Oh did I miss the point you...

@GreenScorpion & @Grumpy Gnome  +1 with what GG said. Greenie just check the whole range of Beyond the Gates of Antares:  Freeborns could be used as Elders/Elves/Dark Elves https...

I can see Mexico siding with Germany. And I agree with you regarding US involvement in our timeline. The effect was not so much military as it was political. Had America for some reason sided with ...

Portugal still had a massive set of colonies during WW1, what happened to the Portuguese in this setting?The country might not have a huge military but it still took part in the war.

@Grumpy Gnome I was thinking about using the Gnolls as a base for another race that I didn't mention in the other post which are wolf like aliens. Although they are not as wolf like in looks a...

@Grumpy Gnome it's definitely entertaining. I was mostly just trying to come up with a scenario that would increase the technology and prolong the war and add possible interesting new factions...

I would echo @JTam  I have one of the Italian heavy MGs but have not built it yet, it is still on the sprue.

The new GW Swamp Orruks and Hobgrots might work for you, big and have more of a Tolkien look than traditional GW Orks and gobbos.  You would need to kitbash sci-fi elements but the Hobgrots at...

@fodzilla  Not ignoring you. I just don't have the Italian kit, and not the biggest fan of conjecture.   I THINK your are correct on the 40mm.  I mounted some Imperial Guard ...

@Grumpy Gnome Thanks, the Boromites seem like a good option for the Rocervars, need to check if I can find those on a retailer "locally" (as in a relatively close online store). The fact that ...

I am a big fan of the robot idea. For some cool robot vs. robot action from Outside the Wire.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx-vUsShk9U Mannequin like Robots/Synths like in Fallout 4 would ...

Perhaps Warlord Games Boromites from Gates of Antares for your Rocervars? https://eu.warlordgames.com/collections/boromite As for your Orcs and Mole-Folk... perhaps Mantic Marauders (Space Orcs...

As I have mentioned before the majority of the minis in this thread are inspired by the books I have been writing (or inspired characters in the books). I have many factions in the books that I wou...

I always find alternative history concepts interesting intellectual exercises. 👍

@William Redford I'm also wanting to get into B&P. Just recently discovered a lot of the Firelock stuff and really love that system for the accessibility. B&P is definitely the "flagship" r...

So, I'm working on a little alternative history for a diesel punk setting. Part of the inspiration was how I wanted to use DF Les Grognards, and my being slightly bored with all the Weird War 2 stu...

@Geoff Maybury A day in the Space Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the Corps!

@Steven StGeorges Hell, only just parted with my Kryomek collections, enjoyed the whole concept for many years they were and still are brilliant.

@Dalton McCormick @Sam Bellamy @Yronimos Whateley @JTam In Si/Fi I don`t ever think of scale as being a problem, but when you hit Fantasy or Modern Si/Fi ?.  Say for an example a Walking Dead ...

@William Redford @Grumpy Gnome @John Wilson  @JTam Well we all need the  pa   of a saint now, we all want em, right now, and Damit we gotta wait. Still guys the saying is, ...

@Grumpy Gnome Glad to see you back. You hadnt posted in a while and your abscence was felt. :)

@JTam Hi my brother, Really love that MRAP,  it`s gonna be a problem on the board if you mess up on scale, can`t get it down your lovely modelled scenery.  Very pleasant memories, was ta...

I have been experimenting with making kitbashed French Foreign Legion in Indochina circa 1949...

@JTam  It is great to see folks sharing information like this to help save money.

@JTam  Interesting to see your opinion matches mine. I do hope the game improves with more expansions. Frostgrave and Stargrave have improved over time.

My secret is natural light. A crap old phone, a couple of hardbacks and an overcast day:

One grenadier. ...and two more sprues in the post. 😎   I asked in the WW2 forum, but does anyone have the Italian kit and would they be able to measure what size base I'd need for the MG ...

@Alex M  That's awesome.  Thanks for sharing these.

@William Redford  The Silver Bayonet rules could easily cover almost the entirety of the black powder era.  Which kind of leads into what I think is one of it's two greatest weaknesses. ...

@Vitor Soares  A very kind offer.  Thank You.  I'll probably just start by going down the wikipedia rabbit hole.

@William Redford I only have a vague idea what will be in the box, I've seen a lady with booze and also a camp fire. I don't think a priests or a gentleman would be to far out there, one or two ma...

@William Ings So, do you think Camp followers will be a mixed (male and female_ kit or just female? And as camp followers do you forsee weapons of any kind being included?

@William Redford depending on what is included in it, Camp Followers could cover a few thing. From Campions of Faith, to Doctors, Occultists, Supernatural Investigators, and especially the Vivandie...

@Vitor Soares Ok. I am interested. I backed Blood And Plunder for ships and pirate crews... along with militia and troops. A Silver Bayonet pirate themed game might be fun. I will see if I can get ...

I picked up some Codename Colossus STL files for my French and Germans, wish they'd release the British models in 1:48. They also have some resin models as well.  https://machinationstudio.co...

@JTam if you need some information, I would be happy t help.

@William Redford I like the game a lot, maybe because I am also a big fan o Rangers of Shadow Deep and Frostgrave. There are some issues, but I solved them with some minor homebrew adaptations.It i...

@JTam How do you like the game itself? I read a review on @Grumpy Gnome 's blog and he basically stated that the book is well made and the minis nice but the rules had some issues... (like weapon r...

So, that Driver's seat poll stated that Napoleonic camp followers are coming, but as they did not win the vote wont be pushed up ahead in production. So just reading through the comments in this th...

@Brian Van De Walker For the Conquistadors? Thats a tough one. I would have much preferred 30 guys to a box as that is what I put my units at (except missle troops). But... the extra sprue was soo...

Fireforge stuff is good. I have a biggish Northman army. (4 units of 30 Infantry. 30 Spear and Shield, 30 Halbred, 30 sword and shield and 30 2 handed spear. 18 cavalry (3 units of 6) and various n...

Interesting, I hadnt noticed but since going to Edge it no longer asks me that "prove you are not a bot" thing. 

@Brian Van De Walker Couldn`t agree with you more, I`ve got the spiders, and they are, in my thoughts, one of the best made Fantasy/ Si Fi made.  My only call for, no clothes , no weapons to s...

@BS Kitbasher Well, just from general hints and descriptions Tolkiens drops. In the Hobbit, Tolkien gives very little description physically to goblins. Ugly looking is one, and the Great Gobl...

@William Redford@Geoff Maybury  Guys, the spiders proved they could do both and it would likely still work for everything. In fact it could probably be better done now, particulaly if they kee...
