@Grumpy Gnome Was gonna sugest me what a pain, sorry mate.

@Mark Dewis Donatello, Raph, Mick, and Leo, Wehhh, It works for me, Green Teenage fighting, Ninjas.

@Mark Dewis Nice one, it`s a sound way of doing them, and if more arms were included like the original Eisenkern then conversions become the norm. Just got to get the 2022 till ? sorted, and we`ll ...

A little bit more progress today. These models aren't quite finished, but I'm still happier with them than my last set, and happy enough to post in-progress photos. Here's the goblin with the se...

These too.

Could also be ninja... ;)

A simple but effective way to provide Civilians for all eras is to make sure a kit has a few unarmed left and right arms. These could be gesturing, pointing, clenched, holding tools - anything real...

Not just "common men". Female ninja aside, drag is an option. Any of those female minis could be male ninja in disguise, and many of the male ones could be lady shinobi. Probably only the bare ches...

I guess there's always room for surprises, but my own instincts would be that a set of armed civilians will always sell better than a set of unarmed non-combatants, and that a civilian set that inc...

True about not using Persions unless you have some around, but then, we should all have a box or two of the Persions hanging around - it's a cool little set with a bunch of figures that can be mixe...

This should be starting soon, but I havent seen any news on it in a while. Hopefully they at least start the previews back up again. 

@Grumpy Gnome I think Grumps post is very right, none of  us purposly go out to hurt others,  lets all try to agree that for some reasons, a hurt was done and any concerned are sorry, and...

Well, I am no moderator. All I can do is voice my own opinion as a memberbofvthe forum.  I can completely understand why some folks take offense at things. I take offense myself atvthings. So...

Morning All,  Just catching up with posts I have missed over the last couple of weeks and was wondering if the results of this poll were ever published? I'm curious as to what the popular cho...

@Selrahc any chance of you posting your pistol conversion article? Or a video detailing the conversion?

Yeah. Just model a few bushes and rocks. Maybe a paper screen. Perry also have some Japanese civilians. Anyone can be a Ninja!!! Note that the first set has a Shukke priest and the secon...

@Andrew Stoeckle HA!

@William Redford if the ninjas are any good, you wouldn't expect to see them, would you?

There are plenty of games that can use Napoleonic era female civilians. It is not merely a case of diorama making.  GURPs Age of Napoleon, Silver Bayonet, Shakos and Bayonets, Sharp Practice,...

@Mark Dewis Bro, I was meaning Female Partsians for the Napolionic wars (not WW2), its not like there were none in real life (or more importantly fiction), and it would have worked way better on th...

@Big Boi @Estoc Fair enough argument about command, but unpopular opinion as it maybe, I still think you shouldn't build squat around living or dead GW games unless you really, really want to play...

Yeah. I think we're looking at a small delay.

@Estoc The WGA Persians, yes. Only one of the bodies is close, really. It would make more sense to use Boxers out of the WGA kits. But the Wargames Factory ones looked like this: I'll see if I c...

It's a Tuesday. I'm off from work as my family and I went to Bar Harbor, Maine for the holiday. It was lovely, I recommend it if any of you aren't terribly far (it was a 10 hour drive here from mar...

As someone who has bought a persian box, they would require very extensive conversion. I would not convert ninjas out of them unless you already planned on buying them or have a box.

Great work mate! 👍

Even gifts sent by friends in the UK have gotten hit by 20% VAT. Brexit has made it expensive for us to send gifts to each other.     

Fireforge games will be having a feudal japan kickstarter... was supposed to be in May but it got slightly delayed until they shipped their dwarves (which are shipping now). While no ninjas have be...

I really need to do something about this. By that, I mean I need to keep up to date on stuff. Here are the links to the latest gaming material but I will update this in a month or two as I am updat...

Dawn of the final day

I think a ninja box would be fun, but I really like the kitbash/proxy suggestions by @Mark Dewis - those ideas all sound great to me.  Reaper has a couple Bones plastic figures that ought to ...

A total of eight Les Grognards finished!

@Grumpy Gnome what about organising a mailing address somewhere handy that isn't in the EU, like Swizerland or Norway, that you could visit occasionally? They might have their own sales tax issues,...

Perry have some: https://www.perry-miniatures.com/product/sam41-ninja-various-weapons/ Warlord have these (I think repurposed to "Warlords or Erewhon" from thier OOP "Test of Honour") https://us...

I'll second this - I would buy a box of action-movie-style ninjas immediately, on instinct! But to whet your appetite for now, Crooked Dice sells ninja figures individually or in sets of three: h...

Hello all. I have been re-watching the american ninja movies and i have been bitten by a bug. I need to get my hands on some ninjas. a lot of them. I cant seem to find anyone who makes them and I d...

While recovering from a cold, I managed to finish another batch of 5 cult insurrection based conversions. Some of these are meant to represent mutants that worked in the mines, while others represe...

@Geoff Maybury I quite enjoyed Terra Nova and was disappointed to see it cancelled.

I have yet to find a Stargrave or Frostgrave sprue I didn't like. I have not received my stargrave crew II, but the female soldiers and wizards are just amazing.

@Grumpy Gnome Considering it wasn`t suposed to mess thing up to bad, postage as been a big kick in prices. If i want small items from Bad Robot, postage is 3x the item price, so no sale. Every thin...

@Mark Dewis Nice review particulary pleased with the Female Gunfighters,  as I was thinking Terra Nova (The Dino One). Setlers figures for out of base, you given me food for tought.

That is a shame that the female gunfighters are not better. Still, your thoughts on the utility of the kit to bolster bits boxes make sense.

Surprising but yeah potentially. Before Brexit buying from the UK was not much different from buying online within Germany. Now it is like buying from the US for me. Despite being a Yank myself as ...

Ah, gotcha. So I get a better deal by living in Australia... 

I preferred the original peak size but your new peak does make it look more 40k.

I am a Yank living in Germany now after living in the UK for a decade.

Non-resin printers might be a better option for a balcony setup. Fillament ones are smelly and hot, but not as hazardous as resin. 

@Grumpy Gnome Really? Yeah, that 20% VAT would make a big difference. Essentially I get my North Star and Perry orders around retail price because postage ends up being slightly more than the VAT I...

Just received the Stargrave Crew II and the Dead Man's Hand Gunfighters II kits and thought I'd post my impressions. The Stargrave ladies are well thought out as far as equipment and bodies go. Th...

@Brian Van De Walker I think the clothing styles suggest 19th rather than 20th century, so female partisans are going to be another project. My best guess is Wild West. WGA may be holding fire on ...
