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 ...

@JTam well, landsknecht ogres aren't very "classic fantasy" either, but WGA is making them there anyways.

Swordsmen added to the shelf.

Today is my friend's birthday bbq... but I still managed to get some work done. Finally finished my swordsmen. These guys are my elites. All in the heavier armor. Their training was extensive (my j...

Just finished my comprehensive review of the new Aztec Warriors kit featuring scale comparisons, an overview of the warrior classes, plenty of pictures of the sprues & assembled miniatures alon...

@Blutze "Not sure how magnets are supposed to test steel for being stainless" - stainless steel is not always magnetic.  https://www.thyssenkrupp-materials.co.uk/is-stainless-steel-magn...

Just lovely to read about your first forays into this great hobby. Keep posting and keep us updated!

I go back and forth alot on which scale I like better, and to be honest some of my favorite minis are kit bashes of two or 3 manfactureers.

I didn't expect professional quality of myself by this point - but what I didn't expect was how much fun I had! It really felt like I was giving these minis life. This, pretty much. Its like Dar...

"Male" european breastplates from ~1350 when they started to be actual singlepiece plates (though still textile covered mostly), to ~1550 when the globe shifted downwards for some reason, would hav...

@H M Hmmm, to be honest I would just have WA stick with thier history scale for fantasy adventurer/average sized humaniod types, lots of great options in that scale already that work great with fan...

Sorry, guys.I have no idea why pictures stop showing up, after a while.Probably something related to shifting server and facebook.I don't even remember what I originally posted.I'll try to fix some...

Alright, for what it matters, I'll throw my two coppers...I loved the idea of upgrade kits.I think I bought a bunch - and, aside note, I'm liking the new plastic - more bendable and kitbashable tha...

@Blutze @lauregami Hmm you both actually bring up a point that I have been somewhat waiting to discuss. I well answer the easy thing first, unarmored female landsknechts if real would probably d...

While I did not take to The Silver Bayonet as much as I had hoped, the game is proving to be more popular than I expected. A marketable gap in that line up might be Bandits/Guerillas... Spanish or...

@William RedfordAt last I managed to pay a visit to the forum.I thought my army was big, but your units are great!I see we've been following a similar path, with conversions.I tested how Conqueror ...

By sheer chance, a pal of mine provided me with a 3D printed, flexible resin, female Landsknecht - as a printing test.I'm definitely for a female Landsknechts kit.Even though their historicity migh...

I originally voted that I'd buy a box, but the more I visit this topic, the more I'm tempted to want to field an army of female Landsknechts for something like Pike and Shotte. The pictures in the ...

@Blutze I totally get that - I'm most comfortable at my own computer desk, and I'd work there if I had the room. But most of my desk is taken up by my work phone, work computer, and our modem. The...

@Padric Drahushuk you could certainly mix in Goth figures and/or swap parts with Roman sets to make Limitanei

@Steven StGeorges I'm using Goths for Rohan myself. Late Romans for Gondor.

I just so happen to be working on such a thing - a 1:35th Renault FT somewhat modified to go alongside my Les Grognards.

A 1:35th scale Renault FT modified and part-built as a proxy Leman Russ.

It looks like the bottom barrel is fixed to the cylinder beneath it, which turns upwards at the tip, and there seems to be a cylindrical protrusion from the bottom. I think it looks like a flamethr...

I'm always looking for ways to make things cheaply & generate less trash! (Especially since I'm in an area where it is hard to recycle some things). I'm 100% going to use these tips, thanks for...

Howdy! My name is Philip, I got into the hobby 12 years ago when I found a copy of white dwarf in a middle school classroom, from there I got into 40k, and d&d. Shortly after starting d&d ...

@Eric Howanietz Umm, no kobolds are not just a D&D thing, but they are mostly a TTRPG thing for the most part as I am pretty sure they show up in Hackmaster, Pathfinder, GURPS, etc. They are on...

@JTam   I disagree  with your statement about Wargames Atlantic's World War One range. Both the French and German sets are late war, not early war. The boxes they come in are dated, 1916...

@Eric Howanietz there is already a therad here: Kobolds I would be happy for people to get some WA kobolds. 

@Ben Zed  GW makes and will still make insanely huge profits thanks to her leading position on the miniature market. Other manufacturers have to raise their markup up in order to survive and ...

They are so small I feel like you could get double or triple for the same price as your average box set. Maybe I'm just one of those DMs who doesn't change monsters, I just throw more of them at t...

@Simon Rafe  Thanks for the link.. quite a lovely setting. 👍

@Eric Howanietz Its not the same... and I can totally see wanting a proper multi-plastic set. But in teh meantime, Reaper has a couple sets of 6 for $7. I will admit, I am not really a kobold fan t...

@Steven StGeorges oh I meant the markup is higher than the last time I looked into GW markup. I think 40% is their more typical markup. The new 30K Box Set is about 40%. (this includes taxes). The ...

@Mithril2098 I do like muskets and bolt action rifles sniper rifles on Sand Nomads. Bolt action sniper rifles fit some to the themes of the Necromunda Ash Waste Nomads. Where I'm getting laser rif...

Somone really needs to make a fat sack of 100 Kobolds (Yes I would literally buy them in a plastic sack like those old school plastic army men). I don't even care if they are monopose, all I care a...

@Brian Van De Walker if you want a civilized monster architype then you should probably just go with a Mongolian or Samuri infantry kit and then provide Hobgoblin heads. Of course then you encounte...

mmmm looks like a GAU-19 Gatling Minigun mixed with a M134 Minigun 🤔 JTAM!!!! Where are you??? 😬

I for one certainly couldn't complain about basing a fantasy demi-human faction on a pirate them (or vice-versa) - WA has goblin and hafling kits already, but a hard plastic kit of dwarfy pirates s...

If it is a real world weapon I do not recognize it. I originally thought flamethrower because of the rod/tube below what looks like the muzzle of the weapon but when you said minigun I looked again...

@GreenScorpion   Found some on amazon.nl: https://www.amazon.nl/TM-TOYS-accessoires-zelfbouw-Speelgoed/dp/B08KJRXFN8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=pocket+titans&sr=8-1 But seller is from Poland.&...

@Steven StGeorges Thanks :)On the Pocket Titans, I found some Eastern Europe announcements of the product but no stores with them. Found a greek store that seems to list them, but not the kind...

Looks good in renders, at least, and I do have a soft spot for the western theme....

I always find dedicated craft workspaces weird. Me, I play videogames and eat and paint and watch movies and live and build minis all at the same desk...

Sneak Peek for this week: A minigun, but for what sort of set?  (I take it these hand-held miniguns fall into some grey area between Hollywood sci-fi and practical novelties, more than actu...
