@Slow Painter That is a CLEAN paint job - nice!

Yes, it is looking very likely to be WW2 Polish Cavalry.  If I was going to buy WW2 Cavalry, I would prefer them to be dismounted rather than mounted but with my WW1 Eastern front head on...

I have a box of Cannon fodder and will get a box of the female cannon  fodder. My plan for these? I am going to run a one-off Starwars Edge of The Empire adventure. If it goes well, maybe conv...

Oh Snap! https://www.facebook.com/335747290324479/posts/1082589488973585/?app=fbl

@Yronimos Whateley  Some great ideas there.  That would be a fun game/campaign. Are you familiar with 7TV game from Crooked Dice?  It kind of captures the feel you are going for.&n...

That volume does have material relevant to WW1 German cavalry:      

@Red Bee  Man I loved that show.

Additional information on WW1 Cossack Cavalry: Portrayal of a Cosaack in the  Russian Civil War: From "Uniforms of World War 1" by Jonathan North.  

Found this about Cossack horse furniture: The sneak peak horse furniture has the bedroll up front and what appears to be a saddle bag to the aft.  I don't this was an uncommon configurati...

@Grumpy Gnome exactly why I used those helmets. Love me some Chaos Dwarves 

My 8 year old is learning to paint, but isn't feeling all that confident yet. Wondering who else has a kid who paints and wants to show off their work? I'll post some of what she's worked on when s...

@Christopher Tyrer  If you mean this Encyclopedia of WW1 Uniforms let me save you a trip to the attic. I looked through it last night and there's nothing on Poles in the post WW1 period.&n...

@JTam  I think that you maybe closer to the ball park than me.  Just did a little research via Google 8 we can rule out German uhlans too.

Ive been thinking of adding Americans to the setting. I think I'd go Scifi Old West. Think Firefly, Westworld, Beebop, Fallout New Vegas, Dark tower, and maybe even a smidge of Brave Star. Not sure...

Battlestar Galactica seems like it could be a fun idea - I bet that Stargrave rules would be perfect for some skirmishing in that setting, and the Iron Core Isenkern figures seem to me like a "clos...

@Yronimos Whateley  I think you might be onto something there!

First off - great catch on the Warring States Chinese being the set behind the Great Ribbon Mystery - hats off to everyone who called that one early!  I thought that the Chinese had been ruled...

These: Plus female Cannon Fodder = Awesome Space Opera Adventure.

@Dan Morgan  Yes, it's a pricey set.  I grabbed a single sprue at a decent price during one of their sprue sales.

I am using my copy of the osprey MAA Armies of the Russo-Polish war 1919-21.  I may also dig my copy of an encyclopaedia of WW1 uniforms which I have somewhere in my attic.  The good th...

@JTam I don't think so. I have a book called The Bear Went Over the Mountain. Which is a book of translated military encounters produced by the Soviet Frunz Academy.

Yeah, that's some good kitbashing.

If you want to try something different go with WWII French. Pretty much the same uniform but they used a shade of brown instead of the horizon blue.

@JTam Interesting but I'm not that keen on paying the Warlord tax.

@Christopher Tyrer  What references are you using? I too am going back and forth on the uniform.  The early gray/green may win out as I understand many troops ended the war still wearin...

These look promising. I presume some Russian troops are in the works.

@Christopher Tyrer  I'm not sure Cossacks were big on the bedroll at the front of the saddle. A lot of other cavalry did have the forward bedroll: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xen...

@JTam  I honestly haven't made my mind up yet. To tell you the truth, my first thought was the late war khaki uniform but the idea of basing the figures on the early war army with all of their...

Update as of 11 MAR 22:

@Grumpy Gnome  Nice.  Yup, that would work. Maybe steal a doggo from the WGA German Sentry kit?  

@Christopher Tyrer  Awesome project. I want to try the same thing.  I got a test frame of WGA Germans from Ebay that arrived yesterday. Thanks for the source of appropriate Polish he...

I  have got some Polish heads from Siberian Miniatures. My order got shipped just before it all kick off in Ukraine & I received it this week.  I'm making my Polish Infantry using th...

@JTam  I'll go with Cossacks.

Sneak Peak - 11 MAR 22   Ho*y Cr*p.  Is that some sort of 20th Century plastic cavalry?  Is it finally happening?   Is the rider holding a lance?

👍

We've had our first shot of the painted Japanese from Jason Frowde at Painting Knights. More to come next week! 

What are you planning to do with these kits? I'm going to plus up my Rogue Trader era Necromunda Regiment.  Add plasticard shoulder pads and a little disk on the left breast and you're at a 8...

I neglected to mention that the Gripping Beast Picts do provide one crossbow on each sprue. That's a total of 5 per box. I  know some of us might use the heavy spears in these boxes as javelin...

Anyone else hyped for the upcoming female Cannon Fodder? Love this.  For those not hip with modern AK gun running:  The charging handle on an AK/AKM/AK-74 is on the right s...

Well it looks like the answer to the great leg ribbon debate of 2022 might have been in front of our eyes the whole time: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/new-range-warring-states Enhanc...

This kit would also be useful for representing Polish cavalry in the Polish Soviet War. (Kapral, 4th Lancer Regiment, Polish Army, April 1919)  

@Ian Valentine  Nice intell.  Thanks! I wonder if they have a Stateside distributor?

I also recommend these Iron Clad Miniatures trenches.  By my calculations you can get around 4ft of trenches for less than £100, and I'm very pleased with mine. Possibly a bit shallow a...

@Cole Lassell  Metal/resin can have its place for odd poses,  sometimes better flow, or special equipment. Good point though, the WGA Partisan kit should work really well for this game.

Yeah the plan seems to be, 2 sets of plastic and then specific characters and expansion packs as metal options.    Personally I dont understand the desire for metal and would just kitba...

WIP on a Krieg kill team.

Well, Genestealer Cultist arms work quite well on Cannon Fodder bodies, but older Warhammer heads look a little bit small. Not too out of proportion though, thankfully.   Another Grognard,...

I may get some for the diversity of heads but that is disappointing news. The photos of the GB Irish did not not get me very excited either. GB needs to up their game to keep up with Victrix and WGA.

How things have changed!
