A prosaic suggestion : a sprue (if not a set) of arms with open hands for customisation and other nefarious purposes.

I am still quite a devoted fan of Perrys' 80s/90s Citadel dwarves. Liked the style, the mix of various stereotypes (Dwarves with Norse or Normand helms, and more Renaissance ones for example) and t...
@Grumpy Gnome ..Internet is our best friend -and External HDs- and wife's, I am not going to argue about. But I am still pleased to browse old issues of WD for instance not looking for somet...
I used to read White Dwarf back in the day. That and Dragon Magazine. More recently Wargames Illustrated. But really the internet usually scratches that itch for me.
I was thinking that optics are an advancement on individual issue small arms... but this video I just watched reminded me that even if you have fancy optics you need to know where to point your wea...
Karl also mentioned the Conquistador kit was a big surprise hit for them. He seemed to recognize this was due to cross over appeal as Empire troops for Warhammer. This gives me h...
@Red Bee GW and Warlord have hundreds if not thousands of products. I think WGA can juggle 75ish.
@Berggeit "A pile of shame does not exist. All I see is a pile of potential!"
We got 320 grenade launchers (which are sh*tier than the 203s they replaced, but that's different rant) Now that is a rant I do wanna hear. I was under the impression that for basic usage they a...
52 kits?! That sounds like an inventory nightmare! Don't get me wrong, I'd love it, but I hope for everyone's sanity they are counting reprints in there.
@JTam The 'Handbrake Turn' was my favourite part 🙃
A pile of shame does not exist. All I see is a pile of potential! I am looking forward to getting my hands on the Conquistadors for a Rogue Trader project, once I get some other projects out of the...
@Grumpy Gnome And reassuring to know there are others who have similarly large (or larger in your case) piles of shame as me 😉
Well, we are talking about crustamen instead of just giant crabs. That means these are monstrous humanoids with above-animal intelligence and not mindless vermin, and the one on Ethan's image is ev...
@Blutze Would Crabmen have or need gear? I mean they are already armored and don't they generally have claws for hands?
@Geoff Maybury Check out this film Vexille from about 7:00 to 12:00 for some near future high tech warfare. https://www.funimation.com/shows/vexille/vexille/Uncut/?lang=English ...
@Grumpy Gnome "Shelves of future potential." I like that. A lot I now have a closet of potential. Your spouse sounds like a true blessing. Some wives would forbid a...
@JTam As an old timer myself, I enjoyed Battleship. It is interesting how some aspects of infantry combat has not changed, ie give me a Ma Duece .50 cal and a M1911a1 any day of the week but...
The interesting thing to me is how little advantage a modern Infantryman has over his WW2 equivalent. Let me elaborate. A single F22 (supplied with a s*it ton of fuel, munitions, spare parts...
@JTam Some would call them “shelves of shame” but I prefer to think of them as “shelves of future potential”. Roughly 500 unfinished minis there, from various manufact...
@D34dly K But why would we want to fight one of our oldest allies? We couldn't have won in the Pacific without the efforts of the Austrians. I kid of course. We TRY and kee...
@Grumpy Gnome Arguably a Battleship (As a host for ADA and ship to shore missiles, as well as providing coastal artillery support) could a least take a couple hypersonic missile hits and p...
WGA posted this news piece 18 MAR 22: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/karl-joins-the-spellstorm-miniatures-podcast I listened to the podcast yesterday while commuting back and forth.&nb...
@Ethan Gilbert honestly Cossacks vs Ottoman Jannisaries would make for a really good pairing of sets. especially since they were regular enemies historically. though i'd say that the Jannisaries ne...
@Grumpy Gnome Nice Brother! Thanks for posting this. The tapestries and art give it certain jein ne seis quoi. Like the shelves of minis looking down as you paint.
Working on multi bases at the moment
@JTam Thanks a lot, totally forgot about the Hardcore Minis' models. Now I have to convince wife I do really need them. But I think I saw another mini of Malcom Reynolds somewhere wh...
And I just totally forgot talking about the price, mea cupla. A set is about 28$CAN (without taxes) on Costco canadian website (don't know about its US counterpart), quite a good price-quality...
@Steven StGeorges That would be really cool. The Firefly crew may have infiltrated another game as well: (She looks like she would fit right in with the Eldar Corairs in the new Ki...
@Ethan Gilbert I don't disagree. I'm not expecting a generic European renaissance infantry set to be released for a good while for just the reason you mentioned - there is some overlap with th...
Another impressive website dedicated to (scifi) paper model kits: http://www.genetmodels.com/free-stuff/ Have fun while looking at its vast free download section.
Its actually more like... ten or so kits by now. Because I keep bashing more of them into the pile, as you do. Portions of this list were my Druchii army ~15 years ago, but most of the assembly and...
Reaper actually makes a crustaman very similar to that image (44110), but as usual with RPG minis it is only a single one and you can't really run a varied group (poses, gear, abilities, sizes, etc...
wastland diversity is the key. Are they Nomads, Shanty Dwellers, Space Elf Scouts, or Star Fey?
@Forrest Wentworth Quite a good idea, I will be quite pleased to take a look at some... especially about vehicles. I found out a blog https://papermau.blogspot.com/ with litteraly tons of st...
Interesting. Makes me think of the old paperhammer stuff. I'll have to see if I can dig up some of the old links.
Last year while paying another visit to the closest Costco shop, I came across a huge pallet of model kits in paper for Harry Potter and Starwars; going to talk about the HP stuff later since it is...
... and Muties!!! You just forgot about one of the most funky factions one can come across while roaming the Wastelands. Actually mixing Skitarii rangers with FG Cultists (one of the best bands ar...
Ideally I would literally like a box of everything... or at the very least a sprue of everything, for my kitbash conversion bits box.
@Yronimos Whateley Is that top picture definitely going to be for the WA Franks? If so, when was that previewed? I don't remember seeing that article, but if that is going to be the content of the ...
@Yronimos Whateley Gods I really hope they don't make either Wolf Riders for their Goblins or Gnolls - the former has been done technically three times by GW (the old Goblin Wolf Riders set for War...
Speaking of Crustaceans.... https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/62459/skwoids-we-need-skwoids
@JTam Indeed, a lot of people are basing their current Stargrave crew on Firefly/Serenity.
@Berggeit Nice! Thanks for posting the finished product! Suitably creepy for Turnip28.
@Daniel Broaddus Oops, forgot to reply. I used a spray can. Also finished painting the miniatures
@Yronimos Whateley Well, all the WW1-WW2 options you mentioned looked much closer to my eye than Warring States China. As it stands the only per 20th century Asian culture it might conceivably be ...
That is an amazing system. Makes me even doubt we Austrians could win a war against America 🤔 The biggest Problem I could see regarding such systems, would be over reliance on them. If crucial fun...
A post-apocalyptic mutant horse and giant bat-thing sound awesome to me :D I'm pretty sure it's not a horse - at least, not any sort of horse from this earth. I thought at first that it migh...
@Kinjack Honestly, I think if you wanted to make a companion set for ottomans then HRE troops wont really do, it just feels like theres too much overlap with the conquistadors box at least for the...
