There are plenty of games that can use Napoleonic era female civilians. It is not merely a case of diorama making.  GURPs Age of Napoleon, Silver Bayonet, Shakos and Bayonets, Sharp Practice,...

@Mark Dewis Bro, I was meaning Female Partsians for the Napolionic wars (not WW2), its not like there were none in real life (or more importantly fiction), and it would have worked way better on th...

@Big Boi @Estoc Fair enough argument about command, but unpopular opinion as it maybe, I still think you shouldn't build squat around living or dead GW games unless you really, really want to play...

Yeah. I think we're looking at a small delay.

@Estoc The WGA Persians, yes. Only one of the bodies is close, really. It would make more sense to use Boxers out of the WGA kits. But the Wargames Factory ones looked like this: I'll see if I c...

It's a Tuesday. I'm off from work as my family and I went to Bar Harbor, Maine for the holiday. It was lovely, I recommend it if any of you aren't terribly far (it was a 10 hour drive here from mar...

As someone who has bought a persian box, they would require very extensive conversion. I would not convert ninjas out of them unless you already planned on buying them or have a box.

Great work mate! 👍

Even gifts sent by friends in the UK have gotten hit by 20% VAT. Brexit has made it expensive for us to send gifts to each other.     

Fireforge games will be having a feudal japan kickstarter... was supposed to be in May but it got slightly delayed until they shipped their dwarves (which are shipping now). While no ninjas have be...

I really need to do something about this. By that, I mean I need to keep up to date on stuff. Here are the links to the latest gaming material but I will update this in a month or two as I am updat...

Dawn of the final day

I think a ninja box would be fun, but I really like the kitbash/proxy suggestions by @Mark Dewis - those ideas all sound great to me.  Reaper has a couple Bones plastic figures that ought to ...

A total of eight Les Grognards finished!

@Grumpy Gnome what about organising a mailing address somewhere handy that isn't in the EU, like Swizerland or Norway, that you could visit occasionally? They might have their own sales tax issues,...

Perry have some: https://www.perry-miniatures.com/product/sam41-ninja-various-weapons/ Warlord have these (I think repurposed to "Warlords or Erewhon" from thier OOP "Test of Honour") https://us...

I'll second this - I would buy a box of action-movie-style ninjas immediately, on instinct! But to whet your appetite for now, Crooked Dice sells ninja figures individually or in sets of three: h...

Hello all. I have been re-watching the american ninja movies and i have been bitten by a bug. I need to get my hands on some ninjas. a lot of them. I cant seem to find anyone who makes them and I d...

While recovering from a cold, I managed to finish another batch of 5 cult insurrection based conversions. Some of these are meant to represent mutants that worked in the mines, while others represe...

@Geoff Maybury I quite enjoyed Terra Nova and was disappointed to see it cancelled.

I have yet to find a Stargrave or Frostgrave sprue I didn't like. I have not received my stargrave crew II, but the female soldiers and wizards are just amazing.

@Grumpy Gnome Considering it wasn`t suposed to mess thing up to bad, postage as been a big kick in prices. If i want small items from Bad Robot, postage is 3x the item price, so no sale. Every thin...

@Mark Dewis Nice review particulary pleased with the Female Gunfighters,  as I was thinking Terra Nova (The Dino One). Setlers figures for out of base, you given me food for tought.

That is a shame that the female gunfighters are not better. Still, your thoughts on the utility of the kit to bolster bits boxes make sense.

Surprising but yeah potentially. Before Brexit buying from the UK was not much different from buying online within Germany. Now it is like buying from the US for me. Despite being a Yank myself as ...

Ah, gotcha. So I get a better deal by living in Australia... 

I preferred the original peak size but your new peak does make it look more 40k.

I am a Yank living in Germany now after living in the UK for a decade.

Non-resin printers might be a better option for a balcony setup. Fillament ones are smelly and hot, but not as hazardous as resin. 

@Grumpy Gnome Really? Yeah, that 20% VAT would make a big difference. Essentially I get my North Star and Perry orders around retail price because postage ends up being slightly more than the VAT I...

Just received the Stargrave Crew II and the Dead Man's Hand Gunfighters II kits and thought I'd post my impressions. The Stargrave ladies are well thought out as far as equipment and bodies go. Th...

@Brian Van De Walker I think the clothing styles suggest 19th rather than 20th century, so female partisans are going to be another project. My best guess is Wild West. WGA may be holding fire on ...

Agreed, Grumpy. The roleplayers and the diorama makers will love them. Plus... there's often a need for bystander or objective markers.

Sculpted a larger peak on the cap as@Estoc  suggested, I think it's passable. Thanks for the advice.

@William Redford, my statements about WGA were made knowing things they have done elsewhere. I have no issue with them making kits that are offensive. If they want to make naked girls with guns or ...

As Mark raises the Stug-Kickstarter he shows a 3D-printed model of it so I think there are STLs for the rest of the big guys...  I would pay 50€/$  or more for a STL of any of the v...

@William Redford Like Bills post, I agree with you it`s to hard to read emotion on these forums. I to read posts by Jtam and Yronimos, I don`t Know either, but really wish I did, these are people, ...

@Bill Thomas Oh yes I relate to that we had a lovely guy, Andrew, ex para, loved Falkland games, and he was their. Used  to play in 20mm with Platoon 20, and Airfix polythene civilians, and ra...

Looks awesome, man!  If you didn't tell me what it was, I'd immediately recognize it as a commissar, so mission accomplished!

@Brian Van De Walker I think Big Boi is talking more about the specialists/command models and force orgs (multiples of 5 per unit, single model characters, etc.), which are shared by many other sys...

Look pretty good. You might want to sculpt a bigger hat though, and maybe a more ornate coat.

I hate the idea of $30 a model so I made my own, how do they hold up so far?

I got one a little while ago, It's been fun to tinker with. I'm still bad at it, I don't get much time to use it. So far I think this is my favourite. I got it from Janovich's Patreon, he makes th...

@Lord Marcus Thank you so much for your advice and expertise! This is exactly what I needed - more information about the hobby and the material itself. It's good to know that I was overestimating ...

Some minor updates this afternoon! I haven't done any priming yet, because I got sidetracked experimenting with Milliput for the first time. I decided to try and make some banners from them. While ...

@lauregami  I have been diving headlong into the hobby, to the point where I am seriously considering investing in some kit for a 3D resin printer I've been keeping an eye on (the AnyCubic ...

After re-reading your OP, in my opinion you should veer away from trying to make your armies/squads "game agnostic." Instead, figure out what kind of gamer you are, because that's going to determi...

Civlians are cool with me; a number of games out there I can think of use "gen pop" as problem generators... and the Falklands, ooh, I'd be all over that... SAS for a "Pebble Island Raid"  and...

@Benjamin Hayward Really nailed the "Elephant In The "ROOM" " I`m convinced at times that peoples intent can in no way be interprited, sadly at times, and "Offence" is seen, were none was intended....
