@Geoff Maybury Yeah. Life has its challenges. I was in Indonesia when President Suharto was overthrown. There were armed groups sweeping the city. They asked hotels to give up any foriegners they h...

@JTam Than you our kid, these shots have been coppied to my growing file, would love a1/56th scale kit. I also took the ordinance cat from the previous file, so like "Dinky" I couldn`t resist. Than...

@William Redford God Bill I can`t imagine how that move was for you both, it shocked us here well away from the reality  and devistation. Sudenelly our world had become smaller and more darker...

@William Redford  I saw that movie.  Although I think it was called Prometheus ;)

@JJ McClure Thats pretty cool. It reminds me of (though not exactly) the movie "The Relic". The RELIC trailer Which was a pretty good movie. The plot being the ancient Incans or Mayans (or Oltec ...

@Geoff Maybury My wife is from Indonesia. there is a big ethnic chinese population which makes up a good portion of the middle class. Which is also why they are kind of hated by your average indone...

I went a different direction with the overall theme and name.   I went with more to the primal zerg/TNG "Identity Crisis" theme rather than go with the GW nids, starship troopers or the A...

@William Redford @JTam @Grumpy Gnome @William Redford @lauregami,thank you all, and if your names not here, its only because the damn page jumps up and down as you try to recall the names, plus we ...

@H M yeah the malifaux kit are giants. But the torsos and heads are good and useful in conversions. 

@William Redford I like those conversions, and think they have potential - but I'm not gonna lie, it's the female torso on the samurai body that really gets my attention. It works way better to my ...

Found this mini the other day: I wonder if one could create a kit that could build mermaids and gorgons via different heads (or hair)  and tail tips (tail fins versus rattle)?

Eureka Miniatures has these:

@fodzilla  Again, these guys look great.  Like all the models William Redford mentioned as well as the box operator. Are you actually playing the new Kill Team?  How do you like it...

@William Redford  Creative conversion!  Never would have thought to use the Cannon Fodder torso. That female Landsknechts is a big girl. Still, it happens.  I worked with a fema...

@Geoff Maybury  Posted some pics of a cool M-ATV MRAP for you: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/53697/museumhistoric-sites-displays-photo-thread?page=2 All The Best!

Oshkosh B'Gosh! The M-ATV. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshkosh_M-ATV The M-ATV is the smallest of the current MRAPs.  Although as you can see it's still huge.  It's also easily t...

Naval Museum, Varna, Bulgaria. Ordnance Cat:

@Mark Dewis the wargames factory numidians were a great set. The bodies were generic enough to be useful in a ton of things. If Wargames Atlantic made a generic body sprue like that, I would b...

I agree with the consesus that the WGF samurai are fiddly, but there are useful bits. Definitely keeping an eye on Fireforge, though. My best efforts with WGF Japanese were heavily converted warri...

@PEter GIlham I would prefer 6 or 8 limbs too. 

Made a captain for my female pikemen. This is a WA conquistador legs, a Cannon fodder 2 torso. and head.... the plan will be to paint the torso like a leather jacket and the zipper as chain mail be...

I seem to be the only one complaining that the prototype bugs have only got four limbs . It just doesn't look right . Apart from the fact it prevents them from using weapons,bugs are not bipeds,all...

@Brian Van De Walker Well, they definitely advertise them as 28mm. They have 2 official sizes, 28mm and 54mm. Now they also call their Anno Domini 28mm. And said during the KS that the pistol chick...

@William Redford Been thinking about the sprue thing, what about buying as a upgrade box. I know I have bought "box kits" that where just upgrade sprues for another set (and I am talking minis here...

@William Redford Actually, I think Hot and Dangerous may sell sculpts in both 28mm and 32mm versions for subjects, though this is based purely on ebay box pics.

@Steffen Seitter  I will give you that is the consesense because of Wikipedia agreeing on that and it not being worth fighting over. However your personal argument is not convincing for the f...

@Grumpy Gnome Yeah, I dont think I will bother with the WF Samurai anymore. Though some of their head options (the helmet crests) may be of use with the Fireforge Samurai. So I wont toss them yet. ...

I had some of the WGA Samurai... I also found them fiddly and often a bit stiff looking, like mannequins. So they went back onto eBay. Hence why I am curious to see how the Fireforge KS does. But I...

Those look great. I am not sure which is my favorite, The leader, the heavy weapon guy, or the binocular guy or the sniper. If I had to choose, I would probably say the squad leader. 

So... :) I had some time before work this morning so put together 2 quick and dirty...  I had forgottent how much I hate the Wargames Factory Samurai. They are fiddly and the poses arent grea...

I would just love to see what comes out of these efforts!

Many Happy Returns for yesterday!

Took me a while, but I finally have a tabletop-legal kill team complete:

Happy Birthday! Hope it's been a good one for you! You take care of yourself too! 😄

@Mark Dewis Hmmm. I have 3 sprues of the old wargames factory samurai, and 4 sprues of the Fireforge mongols... as well as some wa goblin heads and some GW hobgrotz heads. If I get a chance af...

Next you'll need the most important unit in a Halfling force - the Catering Corps!

Happy birthday!

@William Redford no, never saw that. I'm not a horror fan as a rule, though I do like Jamie-Lee. I'll see if I can get some pictures of my old Mordheim Ghost Pirates. Largely unpainted; mostly a m...

Nice idea. I have a pile of the old WGF Samurai kits. Those would likely suit this concept as well. For that matter, Japanese armour with a monster head is your basic Oni.

Beats me. Vulture men of Lemuria? 

Is anyone backing Fireforges Samurai? kickstarter? The Hobgoblin thread has me thinking about trying some Goblin (hobgoblin?) samurai conversions. I photo shopped some WA goblin heads on the Ashiga...

So, how was the Chinese? Any special birthday traditions?

Happy birthday, hope you had a great day.

Out of Production GW?

This guy? No idea. But maybe someone can help.   

There's a weird bird guy in the product photos for the goblins. I need to know where that's from!

This weekend I finished building the third and last group of command and heavy weapon teams from the grognards box. The end result is similar to the other two batches, but with different weapons, p...

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! 🎂

@Caratacus Oh! and as for what game, presently a buddy and I are ceveloping some RPG-lite/ co-op game rules using a D10 system, so these are mostly intended as baddies for that as we gear up for a ...
