@BS Kitbasher This is a quality recommendation. I was using the bread ties as plasticard for a while. (Chopped up, they're great for making flagstone bases). Now, all the bread companies here use...

@Dan Morgan Thanks for the suggestion! I Not sure if I've really managed the horizon blue, but I'm happy with my latest attempt (not pictured, yet). I'll definitely look up the uniform for ideas, t...

@Jon Birkinshaw  What is the manufacturer of the field cap heads?

@Christopher Tyrer  I know which one to aim for first than, Thanks!  

I wonder if these could be used (or modified) to make Fengtian Clique Chinese with Japanese supplied kit. 

Thanks guys. They're supposed to be quick and easy conversions aiming for being themeatic rather than accurate looking Austrians so they'll be a bit off but good enough at a distance. My Germans ar...

As well as the WW1 book, I have both the 19th century one, which is good but I feel it gives too much attention to the US civil war & Zulu wars. Also, the Napoleonic wars one, which is possibly...

@JTam  For my Lithuanians, I'm using the same figures (WA WW1 Germans). Heads, I'm using British service caps from gripping beast. Officers, I may give them Kepis using WA Frenchheads & po...

@Christopher Tyrer  It really is.  I have the WW1 and Roman World one.  I need to hunt down the rest.

Also, square bases?  Do you have a rule set in mind?

@Christopher Tyrer  Good choice.  The collar tabs associated with the M1919 uniform seem more interesting as well. Looking forward to update photos as the project comes along. What are...

@JTam  Yes, you don't mess with those Polish ladies!  Yes, I'm quite happy with the out come of my figures. As you can tell by the choice of primer, I've decided to give them khaki unifo...

@John Wilson  I wasn't familiar with the Mantic GCPS minis. I think anyone who was looking for near future military forces is covered.

Hi Brother, it's a little hard to make out the details. What kind of camera are you using? If it's regular camera, if you use the Macro button/mode (flower symbol) you might be able to get a clea...

My body is ready. https://www.facebook.com/39007817954/posts/10159038541372955/?app=fbl  

if you buy an action figure like a child it is normally tied down with a wire of sorts. i used it for reigns when I made a dragon-riding mini. 

so my friend shuffled through my wargaming box and made this. It actually turned out kinda cool I might make extras and put them with my death fields sets counting them like a scarecrow unit. and f...

i was'nt originally planning on buying these but I'm seeing some fun ideas presented here, but first I still need my first death fields set to come in. i ordered it with the extra parts sprew when ...

On the other hand, painting convincing female faces is hard too.... so maybe it works out LOL.

@William Redford  Largely concur. Sometimes I think the veils on minis should really be called sculpting female faces is hard 

Great idea!  Thanks for sharing these. Information of the organization of Austro-Hungarian Squads, Platoons, or Companies was somewhat hard to come by. But I found this: While initially i...

And she is covid mask compliant! Though seriously, I am not super fond of the veil on her. She is supposed to be a leader/hero... I think bare faced would be better for that. 

@Benjamin Hayward  Solo adventure wargame rules? Intriguing.  Can you tell us about your impressions?  

Incredible recreation of Diomedes' armor.  

They added a new character model:  

@Christopher Tyrer  Great conversions and great thread.  The WGA German bodies used as Poles looks convincing here. The Siberian Miniatures heads are a great find.  And Thank You ...

These are my completed ballistas. I used WA bodies with Gripping Beast heads to match the rest of my Roman units. 

Looking forward to these, so much so that I picked up three more boxes of the males, since I already used my first two with stargrave parts as armed spaceport workers. Probably going to use these w...

@JTam That would work too. Haircuts definitely match. 

It's good to see someone trying some things out with their spares.  You could have used some bolt action Handschar ss heads & made yourself some Bosnians, who where great fighters on ...

As Usual. As found on Facebook.   

Hello all, first post here. I decided to experiment with making great War Austrians out of my spare WA Great War Germans. The heads are WWII German field caps which were based on the Austrian caps....

This problem can be averted by buying more models and base them on any conceivable type of base. No rebasing needed. Jest aside, I began with the hobby last summer and it has been something I have ...

@William Redford  Being trapped and hunted on a prison also reminds me of:

@Yronimos Whateley Holy smokes, that Forest of Doom is GLORIOUS.

Definitely hyped.  I want to use both Cannon Fodder sets to make/fill out enemy gangs for Five Parsecs from Home. They're both so dang versatile!

That's tho route I've gone with all my wargaming, whether it takes place in the past, present, future, reality, fantasy, or sci-fi. Basing minis looks good for display purposes, but my OCD kicks i...

How many times have you heard a great base makes any figure, and that's relativeley true. There is, however, a time when a base can spoil your game and sadly become a figure with a piece of dragged...

Super simple ine from me, but bread clips.  You know those plastic squares with the hole punched in them that hold closed bread bags?  They are a consistent thickness and plastic glue wor...

Siberia-miniatures command figures. I'm just waiting upon my Polish eagle! Next up... Lithuanian Infantry!

Siberia-miniatures 28mm Poles. They really go well with the WA figures. More or less the same scale. I even gave two figures a WA head!

Officer's body taken from WA WW1 French (arms German). Map case is a spare bit from Bolt Action Germans. Adrian helmets also taken from WA WW1 French.

Some NCOs & two chauchat light machine gunners. The chauchats taken from WA WW1 French.

My interest in early 20th century history doesn't finish on 11th November 1918. The current projects that I am engaged with are some of the conflicts fought after the aformentioned date.  He...

Seriously, has anyone figured out the hole in that shield? I noticed the hole was even mentioned in the On Table Top/Beast of War video that WGA posted on the main site. Is it just a failed attem...

@JTam It's a top book! I just wish it went upto 1923.

To start here's a piece of scatter terrain for industrial/sci-fi gaming. PROJECT: Poo bag rolls ---> stack of pipes scatter terrain TIME: 10-20 minutes (depending on how long it takes the glue...

So over the years, I'm sure we've all discovered various tips and tricks to help out our hobby.  I've found that sometimes stuff we would think of as trash is often incredibly useful.  So...
