I`m posting this here instead of Iron Core, as if we never see the release of Leviathens, I probabally won`t go for it. Which would be a shame as I so much want to convert this when it arrives latt...
@Grumpy Gnome Cloaks are harder to get the fit right with. But I'd not object to one of those.
Interesting to see so much vocal support for shoulder pads. Is there similar interest for sprues of cloaks? I know there was a time I was searching for cloaks for some kitbashing and cloaks could ...
Roaring 20's and Depression era are popular RPG settings, starting with Call of Cthulhu, but there's also general Pulp gaming and Gangsters. Fashions work forward and back a bit, especially for mal...
The original squat artist had a line of his own space dwarves for a while and they were pretty fun:http://www.olleysarmies.co.uk/scrunts.html
@JTam I am just supersensitive to weapon handling safety after seeing too many close calls personally and hearing/reading too many horror stories. To be honest I feel like tv and movie produc...
Definitely interested in shoulder pads sprue, brilliant idea indeed.
Another Sunday. My Bear hasnt arrived yet. But My Biddicca chariot did... I kind of wanted to do something else other than conquistadors this weekend, so what I did is related but different enough ...
@Grumpy Gnome Took a look at a available 28mm Soviet Naval Infantry last night. They are all metal and 95% are holding a weapon with both hands. Would be a lot of work to zombify...
That looks very good... I think I must buy a few boxes of Stargrave Troopers... perfect for kitbash to my Raumjaeger infantry...
@Yronimos Whateley All ideas was right... 👍 And same as JTan, pictures were good... WA should bring Mark in the Legion Forum... 🙏
@Yronimos Whateley Great finds. A lot of those Reaper miniatures really fit the bill. The Chronoscope line has a lot of treasure. It was strangely a Reaper Chronosco...
@Benjamin Hayward Good to hear. I only saw the first one. And yes, I thought it was big and action packed and a little goofy: I.E. a great live action version of the cartoon.&nb...
@Grumpy Gnome I missed the finger on the trigger on the poster. 1. It's a small image on a phone. 2. I think I just don't notice/expect anything else from Hollywood.&...
@JTam: G.I. Joe: Retaliation was actually pretty dang fun. It had some great action, it was silly, the plot was ridiculous - in other words, it was a pitch-perfect adaptation of the cartoon!&...
@Yronimos Whateley Would it be possible to post pics of the Eisenkern with AKs at some point? I would love to see more Eisenkern kit bashes posted. It's super interesting ...
A shame about the "scale creep" up to 40mm for the hero/villain characters in that board game - the minis do look great! I can tolerate a little difference of scale, but there's a certain poi...
I don't collect or game with Warhammer stuff, but I've bought the occasional box of them, and have somehow accumulated a handful of ragged banners from Warhammer and similar kits - it's one of thos...
Agreed that there's not much that I know of that would be an exact match, but yeah, if I were to try to proxy some, the Eisenkern with different heads wouldn't be a very bad match for some heavily-...
I've got a little thread somewhere in which I've been talking about adapting the Eisenkerne guys into not-Cobra Troopers for a sort of Joes-vs-Cobra skirmish game. I've got them assembled wit...
I'll give it a chance - I've gotten kinda pessimistic over the years, but every now and then I discover some real treats in modern fantasy, horror, and sci-fi. The original movie was great fu...
35mm is increasingly the size of boardgame minis it seems. The concepts were good but the size and execution were not for me. Naval Infantry... cool! As for the Dakkadakka thread, there wer...
@Grumpy Gnome I went back and forth on the sculpts. I certainly like the subjects a lot... not so much the execution. But when I read they were 35mm or some such it made it easy ...
@Grumpy Gnome I couldn't read all that. I was getting stupider by the post and I don't have enough brain cells left for that. Is this for real?: Someone is either a master troll or...
@JTam ... I was referring to his trigger finger discipline, or rather the lack of it. That kind of thing spoils so many pictures for me. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/apr/10/afg...
@JTam I think the KS shows yet again that there is a market for the genre. I like that it has zombies from both armies and the living team up against the dead. The sculpts are not real...
TV Guide claims "Gladiator" is streaming free on Pluto TV.... whatever that is.
in the book, LOTR orcs/goblins seemed to use cloth banners like everyone else. just with their own iconography. (the red eye for Sauron/mordor, the white hand for Saruman/isengard, etc. the witchki...
@Steven StGeorges I don't think I do. I must have a book with a section or a magazine article somewhere though....
@Steven StGeorges Reference: That's an interesting take on it. Maybe that's the way GW will go with the fluff. My interpretation of the Warhammer Community article was a bit more s...
@Steven StGeorges Until '92 sounds about right. When I got into 40K about 1994ish all the metal marines had flat joints. But 2nd Edition (Also known as THE BEST EDITION) came ou...
@JTam Loved that movie with a passion back to the days... Hope the tvshow is going to be as good as the original film.
@SaucyNaut Indeed my friend, Maelstorm's Edge minis are really underrated -especially Karists and Broken ones... 🙄
@JTam Indeed.. quite a lovely and simple DIY video. Do you have, in your bookmarks, a video about banners made of aluminium can?
Maelstorm's Edge Epirian Foundation Units could be another alternative ... SecDef for example are quite a lovely mix of Oldhammer Imperial Guard, Starship Troopers and Halo marines.
@BS Kitbasher But a pity RT tyranids background did end in trashcan... Okay Zoats are back too -at least as part of Blackstone Fortress, same for Genestealer Cults... but in the meanwhile '...
In the last 48 hours of the Stalingrad Z Kickstarter. I think it fully funded in hours.... For better or worse the miniatures are pretty big. No worries, already planning how to make t...
@Geoff Maybury I never got the Command Set. I wasn't really familar with the contents. That's awesome!
@Grumpy Gnome Shame the minis are huge. Reference Bruce Willis.... Maybe he did know... that his health was failing, and it was time to sock away some cash, no matter the role.
@Grumpy Gnome I swear I must have watched it 20 times as a kid on cable.
Wow! I loved the original. I dread what a mess they could make of it though.
That GI Joe Kickstarter is live.... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/renegadegamestudios/gi-joe-mission-critical/description Several of the sculpts are a bit too busy for my taste (especially...
Subscribed! Thanks for the heads up.
@Frank Reischmann Can`t yet decide what to do with my unmade originals, I sold all the painted, along with my other collections. However I couldn`t bring myself to sell the unbuilt, in case t...
Great news this. Will give me a chance to get my head around the rules while I wait for the starter set.
Ten one hour episodes of re-imagined Time Bandits!!!!!! I'd be super pumped if I wasn't equally dreading how much they could fu*k this up. (See LOTR prequel trailer, etc.) https...
