@William Redford except if you are Portuguese, the occupation and liberation of East Timor from Indonesia was a big thing here. But you are, of course, right, most people draw a blank in this matt...

@Don Williams really nice work, congratulations.

@JTam I'll do that this week! So far, I've only painted one Soviet miniature, the rest are unpainted, but I think I'll tackle these this week-end.

@JTam That's it, there's not enough demand for either of these armies, but for both ?

Nice work!

Have just sent a rare Tuesday email to our list (sign up at our site - they usually send out each Friday!) This one is mostly about the excellent Great Wargames Survey (but also has a sneak peek in...

Most of the surviving photos of these troops in the field in 1940 are propaganda pics taken by the Germans after these famously brave soldiers surrendered.

@JTam they are a very close match, in my opinion.  I  have combined Gripping Beast plastic Dark Age cavalry and foot figures with the WA 'Irish Warriors' with great success. Heads, arms, ...

This is why I always use terms like Visigoths and Ostrogoths!! ☺️

@JTam  And your favourite, le Tombeau du Maréchal Foch / Shrine of Marechal Foch Please note, The Hôtel and the Museum were under Vigipirate level Red -the penultimate lev...

Apropos:

@Don Williams  I think those are the first "in the wild" painted up Goths I've seen. They look really good.  Thanks for posting them. How compatible are the Gripping Beast parts?  

Last week I finished building 2 squads of heavy weapon teams based on spare cadian weapons/arms and grognard parts. I also finished painting some mantic plague zombies and larger monsters ...

Brand new!: Escher Jetbikes

@Don Williams  Thanks for following up and sharing this information.

@Mark Dewis 

@jon gawne  Would still include some helmets with EGA.  For modeling post war Marines or for those that want a little flavor over authenticity with their WW1 Marines.   This c...

@Andreas Mayrhofer  The steel wire looks the part.  Might be careful handling the mini though - Khorne does not care from where the blood flows ;)

Cheap smaller scale Gundams might be worth looking at. A gundam is meant to be about 18m tall, so  at 1:200 it stands 9cm. 1:200 is a pretty popular vehicle scale and you can definitely get pl...

@Brian Van De Walker yeah which is probably why it wouldn't make a great set as no one would know enough to buy it. I mean I certainly would.  When you ask most people about Indonesia, y...

@Brian Van De Walker Starship trooper bugs had two smaller limbs which they attacked with while standing on four legs!

@Brian Van De Walker no... but I have heard that they are not fun builds. Though my next sprue order, I do plan to get a couple. But yeah, I am unlikely to get anywhere near the numbers that w...

L'Hôtel des Invalides, le Mausolée/The Shrine Le tombeau de Napoléon / the Tomb of Napoleon. .

@William Redford Have you bought the spider box yet🤣 @PEter GIlham nah, four legs is perfect for hoard bugs, since you have to build tons of them (if it worked for the Starship Trooper franchise i...

You could also shop Ebay and see if anyone is selling the old Robogear kits still,  (tons of two legged walker options).  Beyond that and the Pocket Titans I think you best bet might be ...

It would have to be sets and for some of them I would pick other dates than Renaissance to get started (Filipinos and Moro in the late 19th to early-mid 20th would do really well for example). &nb...

Something like these might be good for variety.  I got some mainly for scratch bashing terrain, but they would probably look the part. I've seen some nicely detailed cocktail spears on Amazo...

I've subsequently done some additional reading on this topic, as well as searching out images of these soldiers in the field/combat during the Battle of France (1940).  Wearing the helmet was ...

I'm also very enthused about this release. I will definitely be incorporating these figures into my existing Late Roman armies, along with Goths.

@Benjamin Hayward thanks mate 

@JTam either greenstuff, spikey bits from the bits box or like i recently did on my Primaris Night Lords steel wire  

I'm very pleased with this box. There are so many options to choose ... heads, weapons, and poses, especially when you kit bash with the Late Romans and Gripping Beast dark age figures). My first b...

Bases maybe? If you're going to do tech textured bases, you might draft something like that before you cut various sized  circles out of it...

@JTam I bought a set of the Wardaughters 2. Saw one on Ebay. I went to my Badger games wishlist and the 14 models I wanted were $91. That includes shipping but I could not justify it right now. So ...

@Mark Dewis Witch elves (aelves) and daemonettes were mentioned in the first post, but both are good enough to bear repeating. The witch aelves/sisters of slaughter I will say the heads on them wer...

Surprised no one posted these ones yet: Daemonettes.    Witch Elves:   There are females in the Blood Bowl teams as well. I won't post those - every one of the Elf and Human...

While there arelots of WW1 figures out there (plastoic and metal) one area that is very lacking is the US Army.  The few metal figs are very poorly done, and even so I paintd up a  bunch ...

Looks like they are painting examples and printing boxes so four legged bugs it is. I think I will re name them the disappointments .

@Paul Cziganj  Excellent point.   WW2 Hungarians are perhaps too niche for plastic.   But a WW1/WW2 kit ala the WGA French Infantry kit would be exceptional.

@Grumpy Gnome  That's a great link!
