@Grumpy Gnome The first book mentions the Duke's propaganda teams helping to establish that the Duke is a fair and competent ruler to the governed population. To be fair he is shown to be and compa...
@John Wilson I must admit I have only read the first book. The writing of the first book did not strike me as spoken with the voice of the Duke’s propaganda team. Perhaps the series evol...
@Grumpy Gnome 1st book sure the Atredies are the good guys (after all the Duke's propaganda teams tells us so), 2nd book the Atredies are the biggest mass murderers in human history (61 Billion dea...
Stopped by Hobby Lobby on the way home today: I believe that comes out to: They had Toon Sherman tanks a couple weeks ago.
Death Fields is tagged in this topic, so I've been thinking of this idea a lot in terms of that game set, and I've developed further on the idea I mentioned in my last post of how "scavengers/nomad...
@William Redford And just like that I was actually interested in Halflings. What could you run them as in Warhammer though? Note: I did have two units of Halfling archers in my Empi...
@William Redford Okay.. was not sure about. Digged the link up while cleaning some old favourites folders.
@Steven StGeorges Yes, I have 2 of the goat Knights... had 3 but ended up breaking one on accident. They occasioanlly have these really cool halfling winged hussars. That I keep meaning to buy but ...
@William Redford Ever heard about it ? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/westfaliaminiatures/the-halfmen-army-pugnacious-halflings-in-28mm KS is long gone but Westfalia is still produci...
How about "Wars of the Sun King" Western Armies c. 1670 to 1698, with Tricorne head options for c. 1698 to 1720ish.
The last historical known use of Chariots was in 83 AD on the Battle of Mons Grapius. Use of chariots in later times by the picts is highly doubted by historicans. Only the irish used them possible...
Though this might be of some interest to people. They have STL file pledges as well as plastic physical models. Models look good. gangfightgames blackwater-gulch-kickstarter li...
Possible from the upcoming Late Roman Lorica Squamata Set.
@BS Kitbasher Yes, I think the frostgrave wizards and wizards 2 has some coin purses. I have a cool pipe smoking arm from a perry set, but it would require changing out his sword arm... but i will...
@JTam Lucky you... 😁
@Geoff Maybury I say the Cannon Fodder since they are the easiest to turn into biosuited figures with a few additions (changes), although a purpose designed figure would be better. A overhanging ho...
@Steven StGeorges I have no issues with resin, or metal for that matter. So it's really surprising I passed my Sanity Check for these guys. I was thinking about picking up just a dozen...
@John Wilson Like your style, but please not cannon fodder I`m not to keen. I`d been wanting to tickle your old grey cells. Over here we`ve been hearing rumors of a "Last of us", TV series, a...
@JTam Nope .. and some models do come as almost complete -and so monopose, you just need to add arms and/or weapons. A pity, I am not into resin but the models look great.. and I failed my ...
Another possible use for Female Cannon Fodder: Milicianas
There's a good article on Milicianas in Wargames Illustrated Number 348. My issue is hiding, but I'll post some outtakes when I find it.
@Daniel Broaddus The Milicianas are interesting. Evidently the coverall was a common uniform. Kit/webbing seems to range from none, to belt and cartridge box, to cross-straps a...
@Steven StGeorges The flamer and plasma gun heads are .... different. Did the other blisters come with any extra heads? The mortar is great: The stretcher team is well executed too.
Thinking about it, assuming there are going to be suitable modern historical sets you could do a lot with just a post apocalyptic upgrade (preferably the full size) sprue with alternative heads, ga...
@JTam A pity really... since all scenes shot in Old Norse are ... awesome -especially the Berserker ceremony.
@Benjamin Hayward Same here my friend, wife forbade me to buy one years ago ... 😁 and since I have got some problems with resin fumes while paying a visit to a friend who does own one in his...
@JTam Have them all gathering dust somewhere still in blisters, excepted for the female medic -not a fan of both its sculpt and pose.. but I have to confess I am not a big fan of the specia...
@GreenScorpion Going to use some Krylon to prime it... but according to some the Pink does need more than one coat of primer to disappear completly. On other hand, I could use Gesso,...
@GreenScorpion Nice. Thank You. Good info on the Tiger vs. Leman size. I keep hoping Meng will come out with some of the Italian tanks. If your stateside, check o...
@William Redford Well heres my 2 pence worth I`d like Survivalists Vs realistic Aliens, Falling Skies etc . Plus the ringer 3rd set, civilians, for the purposes of, one civilisations last treachers...
For fantasy pirates there is a sea of options now that I am thinking about it🤣. We missed Dwarf, orc and Dark Elf pirates. Then there is Asian theme pirates but that really is more of a history gam...
@Steven StGeorgesI have primed all of my Meng models without any issues, both with the spray primer or the brush primer (for the areas I miss with the spray paint), so it might be bloggers painting...
@Geoff Maybury Thank you, will do! I've got a little Giant Spider Bits bag and I'm looking forward to putting them to use some time in the future. Quick update, not about any particular models but...
The April issue of Wargames Illustrated had an article on this incredible trench scratch build: #lifegoals
The April issue of Wargames Illustrated has a nice interview with the creator about 02 Hundred Hours: It's a good issue if you can still get your hands on it. Includes a cover sprue of...
@GreenScorpion They (Meng) even did a Porsche Tiger? Awesome. @Steven StGeorges Would love to see you Grot Tank KV2 if you ever execute that plan.
Do you have any coin purses/pouches? The wine bottle from the Grognard command kit would seem appropriate as well. If you have a bow and a thick spear or something similar, you could ma...
@Grumpy Gnome Ref: No real surprise. It's painfully obvious most Army Times writers have no idea what they are writing about. Bear in mind the Army Times is a civilian rag try...
@Steven StGeorges Glad you enjoyed it. I think I read the director did want to do it in old Norse.... but didn't have the budget / clout of Mel Gibson.
Zombie / Semi skeletal pirates for me. Maybe some squid / shark heads on the command sprue. I'm ready for some good old Vampire Coast Zombie goodness:
@Steven StGeorges Nice. I'm also partial to the Kromlech Dvergr Bro, do you even operate? Here's what appears to be a whole army of them painted up: https://spikeybits.com/2022/05/am...
@Steven StGeorges Dadgum, Bob Naismith's stuff is no joke! Really dig that stuff! I'm kinda glad I don't have a 3D printer. My house would be absolutely ROTTEN with tiny gray plastic p...
@Geoff Maybury mentioned this under the poll in the News page, but I think its a great Idea. One of teh things that made the Conquistadors popular was that they were proposed with an antagonist. Wh...
So, I am thinking i will take @JTam 's advice and use the helmet ornament. But I may just cut the ornament off and attach to this helmet as I want a cape that actually rests on the griffin body a ...
@Yronimos Whateley Now you are speaking my language. I loved the Fog. The remake wasnt as good. But I am a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis, so it would have been hard to remake a movie without her...
And I would like to add to my wishlist above the miniatures from ... let say.. a legend: the one and only Bob Naismith of Citadel fame. Pay a visit to his website and be amazed: https://www...
I like the idea of cursed pirates, but I keep thinking that I see Pirates of the Caribbean style zombie, ghost, and skeleton pirates everywhere - Reaper has a lot of them - and even the first inspi...
@JTam For sure, the Cobra is back (Saint Bob reference)😁 And before I forgot (again) about them, let me introduce you to the Dorfs, another Saint Bob creation.
