What a lovely story, and so well written! Being another gamer and collector who has more grey than anything else now, and having returned to our glorious hobby after illness this resonates deeply w...

Looking good! Some tips that people gave me that helped me improve my painting.... With washes, the tricky bit is to prevent it from pooling on flat surfaces. This leaves what are commonly called...

It is just as well WGA does not make plastic Cuban Advisors....I would be be tempted to wargame Grenada and/or Angola. I did not go to Grenada but I had a Sergeant in my Platoon and First Sergeant ...

My thoughts and suggestions would echo those of@GreenScorpion  and I think his post applies from a wargaming as well as kitbuilding perspective. I do not really have a lot to add but would say...

As I stated on the Lead Adventure Forum, brilliant review. Very informative and highly recommended!

@Mark Dewis Yeah, that is appeal of Stargrave, I think Stargrunt II is like that as well but with a greater focus on tanks,etc.

@Benjamin Hayward True it would work for a lot of Elf, beastmen and orcs options that people want. I do think female knights, Kolbolds and Hobgoblins should have their own sets though. In fact tha...

@Brian Van De Walker oh, for sure, upgrade sprues aren't the answer for everything, but they can be good enough for quite a few applications.  In a perfect world, there would be a miniature fo...

@Eric Howanietz @Mithril2098 Given that the Japanese themselves heavily use the trope of “gobliniod monsters in Samurai armor” both in their folklore, literature  and current med...

Fantasy/Medieval is a lot easier to build agnostic collections for than science fiction, especially if they're human based.  The trouble with SF is that the tech assumptions tend to be varied...

For sci-fi, I would just build the majority of them as the common weapon option(s) in the box and proxy that as the common weapon option in the game if we are talking platoon sized games(40+ minis ...

The problem with text-only communication is that tone, inflection, body language and other audio-visual cues that are huge parts of how we read context in a conversation are absent, and so the pers...

@Blutze I would argue that even if it’s just under “flexible armor” for HEMA   it does pose as question about how female plate armor would actually evolve. (and I think it ...

Mostly depends on the size of the game. Figure out what is consistent, make that, make the rest for specific systems.

@Ben Zed I dont think WGA looks through the vast majority of these threads, and I dont think they have a big moderator presense. So I would not link any posts that are still here as endorsed by War...

@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, I want a box of the boxers too. Just to have and play around with.

For me its Boxers. my guess is delays, I heard something about the printed boxes not being at the warehouse yet.

@Yronimos Whateley I never said you attacked anyone in the thread. I implied that you were. Your attacks were not direct, they were done through implication, so you could easily deny them. You ref...

I am gonna get a box too to play around with. 

@Mithril2098 WGA is in partnership with Mark Mondragon, which is why I expect that Iron Core takes longer to get into production than WGA's own IP once the process starts.  Vehicle wise, WGA ...

One week left in May. Where are the Goths?

My usual approach is to build 40 man (HQ 4 + 3, 12 man squads) platoons and specialist squads of twelve (snipers, recon, medics, engineers, heavy weapon teams etc). I sometimes vary this by buildin...

Great post and great topic.The last part first, you can use Tabletop Simulator for online gaming, they have modules for every wargame I can think of. Now for the interesting part. I build my armi...

@lauregami One Page Rules is a popular rules agnostic game, they offers their rules and army lists for free on their site. Their Human Defence Force from their Grimdark setting follows the lines of...

@lauregami I am in the hobby mostly for the building/converting part, so I won't offer much on the wargaming part, but if you want to make a generic that can be used in different games, then I thi...

Back in the days of the Yahoogroups Mordheim list, I designed a Ghost Pirate warband, though they were really Zombies. I was a little annoyed when a couple of years later POTC came out... (edit) I...

@Yronimos Whateley  As a point... I didn't "find a picture". I took a picture and uploaded it. Those are my own kitbashed figures.

I am interested to see where this goes, also, like your signature

From my observation, there's been a lot of rhetoric about "miniatures agnostic" games lately. I'm interested in them, and I'm interested in building armies that can fill in for as many games as pos...

The lowest "barrel" could just be structural. 

Do we know if WGA got the rights to make any of these "in progress" designs? While i doubt they'd do the vehicles any time soom (especially the titans), but these shadowkesh aliens would be interes...

Finished a few more GSC cult insurrection box based conversions yesterday: Over the weekend I also worked on sculpting a larger torso to use with the spare space marine heads and gors arms/heads...

Saw this and thought it might be of some interest to people here. This looks like it would go well with WA conquistadors. These could be command, or you could use the Conqs with this ruleset. Kick...

Thanks Simon, I don't know "Taro Modelmaker"... I used google für their shop... and I like it... great items... I think I must order there a lot of things... Very thanks....    

I'd say flamer since it has the standard underslung tube for the pilot flame, although it does look like a tri-barrel above it (for some reason). My first thought for this was that it fits right i...

The mods are not STLs - the hands are purchased from Taro Modelmaker, and the lower legs are from Legio Models (the poseable leg set - I purchased a set of them and never used them as designed, but...

Mutiple inlet tubes that combine at a nozzle are a thing for welding equipment. One for Oxygen, one for Acetylene, for example. The underneath tube is for the pilot flame.

@Eric Howanietz Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I see upgrade/accessory sprues solving a lot of "Wouldn't it be great if we had [X]?" problems. Want robot/cyborg/possessed/alien/beastmen...

@Yronimos Whateley Yeah terrified civillians only make sense for me if you were trying to do a diorama like an alien invasion or use them as objective pieces. Speaking of which, we REALLY need mor...

@John Wilson I have my hesitations given how they did the Halo TV show. Man am I glad that show is not considered canon.

If WA can be accomidating enough to make a $6 Death Fields Weapons Upgrade Sprue 001, that provides the heads and equipment you need to go full Death Core. They could easily make a Hobgoblin Upgrad...

@William Redford it would be a nice compliment to the halflings box set.

@Brian Van De Walker Ya I think the volume of models is really what would get people motivated with Kobolds box set. A couple of campaign settings have even used swarm rules for them

Another weekend, another batch of painted miniatures :)This time it was 4 vehicles, including 2 Meng World War Toon King Tigers and 2 Mantic Mules. Already primed the next batc...

As a reward to myself for finally finishing my swordman, I played around with some stuff just for fun.  I built the last 2 horses from the WA sprue I bought form @Lord Marcus   * The fe...

Lasers do have a lot of advantages in a desert. Low moisture increases the effectiveness of the laser. Large open spaces make long range fire more important than in areas where dense vegetation or ...

worth noting that part of the reason that japanese, chinese, and mongolian armor and weapons have so much visual simularities is because the japanese and mongolian gear is largely influenced by old...

had the issue again today.. short term solution, if you hit the problem, clear your history and cookies. that resolved it for me.

How dare you?...   :-)))))))))))))))))))))))) That Leviathan-modification ist great... we need STLs from them... so we can make our own modifications like yours... I like the paint-job ...
