My secret is natural light. A crap old phone, a couple of hardbacks and an overcast day:

One grenadier. ...and two more sprues in the post. 😎   I asked in the WW2 forum, but does anyone have the Italian kit and would they be able to measure what size base I'd need for the MG ...

@Alex M  That's awesome.  Thanks for sharing these.

@William Redford  The Silver Bayonet rules could easily cover almost the entirety of the black powder era.  Which kind of leads into what I think is one of it's two greatest weaknesses. ...

@Vitor Soares  A very kind offer.  Thank You.  I'll probably just start by going down the wikipedia rabbit hole.

@William Redford I only have a vague idea what will be in the box, I've seen a lady with booze and also a camp fire. I don't think a priests or a gentleman would be to far out there, one or two ma...

@William Ings So, do you think Camp followers will be a mixed (male and female_ kit or just female? And as camp followers do you forsee weapons of any kind being included?

@William Redford depending on what is included in it, Camp Followers could cover a few thing. From Campions of Faith, to Doctors, Occultists, Supernatural Investigators, and especially the Vivandie...

@Vitor Soares Ok. I am interested. I backed Blood And Plunder for ships and pirate crews... along with militia and troops. A Silver Bayonet pirate themed game might be fun. I will see if I can get ...

I picked up some Codename Colossus STL files for my French and Germans, wish they'd release the British models in 1:48. They also have some resin models as well.  https://machinationstudio.co...

@JTam if you need some information, I would be happy t help.

@William Redford I like the game a lot, maybe because I am also a big fan o Rangers of Shadow Deep and Frostgrave. There are some issues, but I solved them with some minor homebrew adaptations.It i...

@JTam How do you like the game itself? I read a review on @Grumpy Gnome 's blog and he basically stated that the book is well made and the minis nice but the rules had some issues... (like weapon r...

So, that Driver's seat poll stated that Napoleonic camp followers are coming, but as they did not win the vote wont be pushed up ahead in production. So just reading through the comments in this th...

@Brian Van De Walker For the Conquistadors? Thats a tough one. I would have much preferred 30 guys to a box as that is what I put my units at (except missle troops). But... the extra sprue was soo...

Fireforge stuff is good. I have a biggish Northman army. (4 units of 30 Infantry. 30 Spear and Shield, 30 Halbred, 30 sword and shield and 30 2 handed spear. 18 cavalry (3 units of 6) and various n...

Interesting, I hadnt noticed but since going to Edge it no longer asks me that "prove you are not a bot" thing. 

@Brian Van De Walker Couldn`t agree with you more, I`ve got the spiders, and they are, in my thoughts, one of the best made Fantasy/ Si Fi made.  My only call for, no clothes , no weapons to s...

@BS Kitbasher Well, just from general hints and descriptions Tolkiens drops. In the Hobbit, Tolkien gives very little description physically to goblins. Ugly looking is one, and the Great Gobl...

@William Redford@Geoff Maybury  Guys, the spiders proved they could do both and it would likely still work for everything. In fact it could probably be better done now, particulaly if they kee...

@JTam It might actually be in this case, I get the feeling we are looking a broken/salvaged cargo container loot site.

Well, I might pick some sprues up to play with if I find them interesting, but when it comes to SYW conflicts I would rather see East Indian Front (which would also be great Silver Bayonet setting)...

@William Redford I was referring to Fireforge's older Deus Vault men at arms set which is probably the better set to use as model for fantasy sets (northmen didn't come around till will after Nort...

If this thread has inspired anyone to give The Silver Bayonet a go: Rule book for cheap.

I just built about 150 points (slightly more than pictured) of French for Blood and Valor. Really wish I started this project earlier since this game system looks awesome! I'm planning on painting ...

@Grumpy Gnome  Could be quite close to Kryomeks... cause of the bioweapons on the right side of the picture. 

Sort of, I go through the sign up "prove your not a bot" test, then it says there is something wrong with my account, but if I ignore that and just click the sign in again everything is just peachy...

@JTam God I hope not🤣, I still feel that adding the pike sprue was mistake instead of just selling it separate and adding another sprue of bodies to the main kit, though you do have point about it ...

Note:  This is supposedly a bargain book: But when inspected the three "bargain" books I received last week, I couldn't find any marks on them and they appeared brand new.  YMMV.

https://bookoutlet.com/products/9781472844859B/the-silver-bayonet-a-wargame-of-napoleonic-gothic-horror-the-silver-bayonet-bk-1 You can't beat that price.  I paid just under three times as ...

@JTam  Oh and while checking pricetags on GW site, I read a note about the fact all Xenos are excluded from the HH:AoD setting.. while I do clearly remember articles and dispatches from auld ...

I use Brave and have had no issues.

@Keith Gatchalian can I ask how you read Tolkien's Orcs as beastmen? I'm just curious where and when this idea originated. The first time I read LOTR, the unfortunate implications of his desc...

@Blutze If  i`m doing a weapon like that Halbard. I use the waist plastic card bits, filed and  glued on were it fits to the weapons blade. File the edge to the V shape with a micro file,...

@Geoff Maybury  Hi Brother, when I said the MRAP was a boat I just meant it was f*ck huge.  We had a hard time navigating mountain passes and lanes through villages in Afghanistan in una...

@JTam The MRAP, when you say boats are they both amphibious ?. YEP my farther was my best friend, and we worked hours, after school, and weekends. His retirment gift to me, was to have the jeeps&nb...

Starwars model kits are no longer available at Costco... I missed the clearance sale with quite a low pricetag -about 10$CAN a kit- thanks to our last vacations. I saw a couple of them while visiti...

@JTam  ... and both kind of vehicles are coming with original boxes... so MKII an MKI -so Deimos pattern according to FW terminology 😉...  So instead of 555$CAN, I should pay 360$CAN (t...

It would be something to see an MRAP next to a jeep.  One is a house and the other you can throw in the bed of a full size pickup truck. 

@Geoff Maybury  That's an incredible story about your Father in WW2.  Just a hard, slogging fight in Italy.   Being able to restore a jeep together had to be an amazing experi...

Sadly I cannot recommend the Centaurs and Fauns. I picked up a single sprue because I really wanted them to be be good. Very disappointing. Too small, flimsy and limited options. I would like to se...

@JTam As you probably guessed first time Iv`ve found this posting, thanks Tam so many old memories of my time with the Military Conservation Group and our restored machines. Its great to see Halftr...

@JTam Why is that thing so big? Is she a scout machine Tam or a large APC.? SHE`S AMAZING!! 

@JTam My farther was in the Coldstream Guards in  Italy, and all through the War, he drove a Bren Gun carrier. and towed that 6lb gun. He built me the Airfix 1/76 scale kit. and he would have ...

@Steven StGeorges  The Hearthguard are here: He must work out....

@Charles Tottington Yeah...I always thought of orcs as bestial half men when reading Tolkien. Ok to be honest I always thought of the grey goblins from the Hobbit cartoon, but as I grew older I tho...

Looking at grabbing some Italians for a kitbash but wanting to keep my custom basing consistent in style - can anyone confirm what diameter I'd need to fit the gunner & tripod? Assuming the re...

Naval Museum, Varna, Bulgaria. ZiS-5 truck and M-72 Soviet motorcycle combo:  

I'd definitely snag some.  I have my eye on Warlord's Colonial Militia and Woodlands Tribes minis for gaming in a Weird 1700s setting.
