@Mark Dewis  Can't see the picture.  Sounds intriguing though...  

@GreenScorpion  As @Stephen Sutton mentioned the Eisenkern Stormtroopers/Panzerjägers make solid heavy Infantry.  It's easy to see them as wearing full carapace or plate armor. If ...

I think Fallout 4's armour does a good job of accomodating a human frame, while selling the "power" part of the armour.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyDVkHuX9Ok It adds noticable bulk an...

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but what you describe there already seems to exist in the form of the Iron Core range: https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/iron-core/products/eisenker...

I painted the first ten miniatures for the Lidosians I tried to paint them in a German WW1 kind a scheme.

@Steven StGeorges I find that it matters not how old most of your collection is. but how much you love them, and the joy they, and related books give you. In other people at times you get a why do ...

I have trying to model an army based on some sci-fi stories that I have written over the years and one of the groups consists of heavy infantry with full protective armour surrounding their bodies....

@Vitor Soares @JTam Hi both, yes Victor  I think our hobby at times of pain and stress, is a great leveler, and I`m so pleased you wisely listerned to your wife. Hard as it is to give up our c...

Cannon fodder heads and bodies, tools taken from the Oathmark Dwarf Light Infantry sprue that I got with The Last Prospector deal for Stargrave (plus one spade from Fireforge Folk Rabble):

@JTam found this one Wikipedia: "A greeble (/ˈɡriːbliː/ GREE-blee), or "nurnies", is a part harvested from plastic modeling kits to be applied to an original model as a detail element. The practic...

Torpedo boat:        

@Andreas Mayrhofer  Ah, surface details maybe...  But greeblies/greebled is certainly funner.  

@JTam I don't know if its a real word but I put greeblies on, so I greebled it 😉

More minis that make me think a Mermaid/Gorgon kit would be possible.  

Outstanding! What is greebled?

Today I greebled and primed the Gunship. And as Doorgunners are mandatory I tinkered a bit... The gun is from the Grognards Kit and the mounting is a paperclip piece. The arms are lef...

@Brian Van De Walker I totally agree. Portuguse history is filled with underdig victories. Malacca isn't even in the top five. The biggest ones would be the battle of Aljubarrota,  were we br...

@Geoff Maybury  I'm glad to hear you're pain free and mobile again.   Military doc?  Makes sense, they've gotten lots of practice with limb wounds these last two decades. ...

@Geoff Maybury I understand your situation,  I had a serious knee injury at 18, I tore my knee ligaments and cracked my kneecap. It ended competitive sports for me and had to do twelve months ...

I was probably thinking of this guy: Great blog: http://lefthandedpanzerfaust.blogspot.com/2018/08/games-workshop-zombies.html?m=1

Other Zombies: This: Plus this: Leads me to believe I need 10 regular zombies (my ASSumption is there is no difference between the gas mask, female, and male zombies),  3 armored zombie...

Another week passes and more progress is available to show.This week I worked on building some more conversions based on grognard parts, mostly using kneeling poses and special weapons, since I spe...

This is the foundations, the ramp, well thats "STILL" to come, who`ed write this farce, it`s like a "Brian Rix" comedy, or "Some Mothers Do Have Em". Sill life goes on, happilly thank goodness. Don...

Iv`e got a beergut that I hate, thats the only thing thats changed really ,I can`t run, but my march is fast, I still get down on my neighs,to play with the animals and go round the carpets . My we...

@JTam That my brother was the real joy of my birthday card that your sent the dogs and the squirrils , we laughed and laughed it was so perfect for me I treasure our friend ship thanks J-Tam. ...

@JTam Well thats a strange one a "Nut Hutch" is were we affectionally live, in our bungalo surrounded by squirrils that we feed and were in 2019 on boxing day I had a silly accident  that turn...

@JTam Seems like its almost a mech in line with some of the lighter Gears from the Heavy Gear Franchise or the walkers from OBSOLETE, which is fine by me.

@JTam I think I could live with something like that. I know they had something similar in one of the XCOM videogames. If we're going down that route, I imagine a spinal connection would work too, t...

Excllent work.

Green one is not horrible. But yeah, nothing I would buy probably.

Found these: Can't really describe them as my cup of tea though.

More Napoleonic decals would be great.  @Brandon Chamberlain ... those are all great ideas. Battle Flag does make SOME Tartan and French sabertache decals: https://www.wargametransfers.com/...

@Vitor Soares The fall of Malacca looks like it would be awesome wargame fodder.

@Stephen Sutton  I like the aesthetic so far. As you stated, hopefully the shoulders close in a bit so the pilot's arms in the suit's arms make more sense.  Conversely if piloting thes...

@Stephen Sutton  What are we talking about.... Off to check email.... Ah! Well that looks pretty promising.  In fact pretty dang exciting. For the sake of completness here's last w...

Was not aware Games Workshop was noted for favoring flavor over authenticity in 40K and Fantasy.  

Congrats to the finalists!

@JTam  Well,  It's IMA. I won't say any more, but it's not a good idea to rely on them for historical type info.  Flavor over authenticiy? what areyou? Games Workshop?   Bu...

I'll second the call for decals... Chevrons. service stripes, canteen and backpack numbers, cartridge box brass, dicing for Scots bonnets etc.

Ok, the Friday email seems to show a render of a possible Power Armour design. I'm happy with the three-fingered Waldos, I think they should be sufficient for whatever mobile infantry might need. I...

@Andreas Mayrhofer  That is looking great.  Really impressive. Reference: Well....

@Steven StGeorges Not really. But to be honest I really enjoy scratchbuilding things. I don't own any bought or printed terrain piece. All boards, Terrain, buildings etc. I use to play are homemade...

@Andreas Mayrhofer it just lokks better and better. 

@Andreas Mayrhofer  Wunderbar 😀 But did you look for 3D printed Gunship on etsy.de for instance?

@Steven StGeorges hope you liked your week in Lisbon,  we portuguese always like to receive people here. 

@JTam HA! I mean none of the previews drew me in. so... I guess I dodged that bullet.

@William Redford 

@Grumpy Gnome  That was a really good video. It's an even better fit for Achtung Cthulu! Which leads me to the Tankista: Who is some kind of boss level Zombie. I actually possess the pe...

Slowly but steady... Sneaked in some more hobbytime into the schedule  

@Mark Dewis  Googled that.  Very cool. I think I had seen the books somewhere before: I wasn't aware of the preceding comic books at all:
