So my questions are: What is it about the human race that makes the aliens value them as competitors? Are other alien races used in the same way? Are the arenas specially constructed Gunner Games...

Just some notes to help people understand it better. This is set about 500 years from now so there are teams (like Ooh Rah) who are established well after the 21st century. There's no...
How have you been taking photos? I don't have a webcam so can't do it from my computer, and would like to know what you use for your photos, and any tips for taking photographs of models.
I've got my pre-order in for the new 02 Hundred game and I'm really looking forward to the new minis that come with it... that said, as I already have a sizeable collection of North African terrain...
Alright, since it seems not everyone gets this: Pride IS NOT Political. Pride IS NOT Sexual in Nature. Pride IS NOT Something That Affects You. Just because some politician ...
@Yronimos Whateley I had forgotten about the gyrojet firearms. I bet a 23rd century gyrojet pistol would be powerful enough to blow someone's lungs right out of their body.
@Geoff Maybury BPRE is a bit of a "lifestyle" thing, lots of "operators with beards" doing cool things with cool weapons and NVGs... the graphic novels are superb in terms of artwork, and the minia...
@JTam again, excellent, I'm glad both sides are represented well :) Ah, '58 pattern... the picture you show is very much an "as issued" setup minus the waterbottle pouch (es), and generally many of...
@Bill Thomas What are your thoughts/impressions of the 58 pattern battle rattle. How well does the rear belt pouches integrate/non-interfer/or interfer with the ruck? (Do the Brits cal...
Just for "full disclosure" I do a little light re-enacting for this period, hence the DPM and Webbing collection 😁
You know you're among friends when Maverick gets a thread like this 😍
@JTam excellent! I don't always buy WI but that looks worth getting... although I have a big pile of old 68 patt DPM and '58 webbing here for ref 🤣 The Argentinians (contrary to opular opinion!) di...
@Brian Van De Walker I hope you enjoy them, the quallity is amazing, art work, first rate. I needed more, deapth, I like ammo to run out to cause drama, when a soldier is not near enough to a colle...
I'm a little torn, because I cringe at the rather fake lets stick a flag on our website to "prove our support" when for most its just an attempt to avoid controversy. Its not going to affect me eit...
@PEter GIlham why would you be banned? You're not expressing intolerance or hate.
@Red Bee do you think we need to do more or do you agree with what I said above?
@Geoff Maybury Yeah, franchise works can be a mixed bag, though those rules do sound like something I might pick up.
Without chariots the question is moot. I will not be buying either if chariots are unavailable as you cannot field an Egyptian army without them!
They do look like Trench Fighters. A source of possible inspiration is Dan Abnett's "Straight Silver". Abnett is a superlative writer and the entire Gaunt's series is first rate. Straight...
@rowbot gorrillaman These guys look great. Thanks for sharing them. Must have been a lot of work but it paid off. @Yronimos Whateley I think you just partially described ...
It be cool if you could kit bash what's known as a "Khyber Pass" AK. Which is basically an AK47/AKM (chambered in 7.62x39) with an AK74 triangle folder added on. (No AKMs were ever f...
I'm all for Pride support. The majority of folks I game with are queer, due to my social circles, and it's pretty important to show support where we can.
@Yronimos Whateley Given all the bug related polls they had this week on the FB group its Bugs. we don't even need to think about this hard.
The greatest source book of all time:
@Yronimos Whateley as a Battletech fan I would love to see some gyrojet inspired weapons. I almost always go Gyroslug when I'm arming my RPG or Battletroops characters
@Mark Dewis To be honest the thing I am really looking forward to in the historical lines is Warring States Chinese. Probably one of the most important times and places in world history and it is ...
I actually made a "modern Afgahn" using a Dragon's 1/35 scale AK family gun and some old open hand bolt action arms on a WA, doesn't look too bad. so there are other sources for modern guns, though...

@Caratacus Good points. I'm on team chariot too. Reference: Well they're pretty good for 40K too. They look more like midhammer 40K Cadians than current Cadians do.
I may be interested in what periods you game/ collect but I am not interested in nor care what you do with your genitals. Keep this forum for the hobby not self interest groups or politics. Fully e...
"I understand that most wargamers are straight and many are homophobic..." I'm all for "live and let live," but is it necessary to stick a preemptive thumb in the eye of the people you're asking t...
Oh, that's a great find there, another one that's totally new to me! Lots of great stuff there, but for some reason, the "Dr. Mindetwist" mad scientist character is my favorite:
Nice work - I love the green uniforms, the palette of colours work together really nicely here, and the kitbashing looks great! I'm getting a really grimy post-apocaluyptic vibe from these guys - ...
What do you get when you mix a box of grognards , WW1 french , cannon fodder and a lot of free time ? THE FIRST WAVE ! GLORY TO THE FIRST MAN TO DIE ! ...
Another Ooh Rah sneak-peek! And... This week, we apparently have a sneak-peek of a modern or near-future marine on the right, with... a mystery on the left? Looks organic, maybe a...
@JTam They were the only figures of GW that we built up a fifty or so section if we were ever invited on to the clubs night board. No army, no invite, and it was a hell of a lovely board . 10x8 rol...
Well this settles quite a bit of debate: The magazine is clearly for the grenade launcher. The generous body of the weapon might have a couple hundred rounds on board. The i...
I dont like politics or religion generally when looking at my toy soldiers. But... a company showing support does not tick that box for me. I would support a company stating that they support a gr...
An important part of growing up is realising that you aren't entitled to attention and praise. Something to think about perhaps.
@Benjamin Hayward I knew it was going to be a great movie when a mid 20's white female I met at the airport was talking about how awesome it was and how she wanted to see it again. &nbs...
Hi Estoc - nothing against pride month for sure! We support all our LGBTQIA family, friends, customers, and everyone else out there. We just haven't gotten into posting about every month celebratio...
Oh, good catch on the Starship Troopers' rifles, @Grumpy Gnome - I'd forgotten what those looked like! Starship Troopers Aliens The rifles for the Ooh Rah guys are not an exact m...
I just found out Traders Galaxy has a game and miniatures line that is very obviously GI Joe: Rise of the Democracy
I am all for a public Pride display to show support. I was in fact unaware June is Pride Month.
There was absolutely no details beside the little blurb I included in the original blurb. It's well timed though. The Catachans have a nice command set, and some great looking character mini...
I think with historical plastics you get in an interesting situation where for the price of conversion heads you can probably just get complete (appropriate/dedicated) figures for the same or not m...
Hello all, I eagerly await WA's Napoleonic Spaniards to play in Studio Tomahawk's Muskets and Bayonets. I was thinking in the meantime of picking up some of the British Riflemen and was wond...
