Good work! Nice Color scheme for your imperial guard overseers. Black and red is a really decent Classic.
@Steven StGeorges When you said my earlier post was vibrant, what exactly did you mean? I think you are making the same mistake I made in my youth and the same mistake@Caratacus &nb...
Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster. My pandemic project was getting back into painting minis, and my latest task has been putting together a penal legion using the excellent Cannon Fod...
Heck yeah.
@Grumpy Gnome I don't tend to like using extant non-gaming settings for gaming. The factions are usually limited and the setting often has a completed arc that makes the game either feel poi...
As to the rangers, I have several thoughts on how they could be done: A. WA just does the elves and adds some human or hooded heads(simple). B. WA just makes a ranger themed customization sprue f...
So awhile back on FB group WA posted yet another “what fantasy subject should we cover next” poll and the top two where knights/men at arms in first and rangers second which means 2 or ...
@JTam Thanks for sharing these!
As a matter of facts, there are Good guys within W40K -at least according to Codex and side-stories.. (who just say Iliyan, Illie for friends, Nastase, former chief psyker astropath??) "FOR THOSE...
Kitbashing is the reason that sprue-minis are so fun! It's hard to look at a bin of left over heads and limbs and not think of what you could do with them. Especially with WA not having a game yet ...
That is another problem for me with 40K, the whole promotion of the “ends justify the means” morality. Same problem I have with the TV show 24 hours to be honest. WWJBD seems to be some...
On Grimdark, I feel like it works when the story is committed to it, such as the Vaults of Terra or Inquisition War series. It also works when used as satire, such as in the Ciaphas Cain book...
@Brian Van De Walker Kim Newman's Jack Yeovil's Road 666 series (Comeback Tour is still ma favourite one) is quite a classic -for an OOP but so promising game and setting, the very past of W...
I like kit-bash... I have created one scout-troop (more to come) from Raumjaeger (body), rifels (cannon fodder) and heads with caps from original Iron-Core box for my "V. Kaiserjaeger RKG"... thes...
@William Redford Loving it mate!
I would respectfully disagree with you@Caratacus . I think you are making what GW said fit your narrative. There is no hope for redemption for the Imperium. It is not merely flawed and no hope rema...
Ok, 1 more. This is a Wrath of kings robot with some GW bits and a Raging heroes pilot.
@Brian Van De Walker I can certainly see where you're coming from, even if I don't fully agree with you. On one hand you are right, the death of Warhammer Fantasy did give other fantasy games room ...
Same. I love taking different kits and making something new. Here are just a couple... Bones are really easy to convert. The Afro guy is just weapon swaps with Escher parts. The Ogre has a G...
@Blutze Hmmm, or it could also be that crabman just gets spawned out the dungeon core like that😉. Don't really see how that fellow could tie that cloth on otherwise (well unless its a werecrab) le...
I enjoy kitbashing to make converted models. Since I am not a skilled sculptor this allows me to lean on the professional sculpting skills of others yet still have the freedom to create some of my ...
@Mithril2098 actually desert theme arab/beduin influences or Turkish Ottoman dwarfs would work great and actually be a buy for me in plastic, most people are going to want some sort of gun option ...
Well this is semi-interesting: I've been pretty underwhelmed with the Stargrave plastics. But maybe some of the sprue will be useful for bashing with the female Cannon Fodder. ...
@JTam The US Army... finding ways to suck the joy out of hiking, camping and target shooting for over 200 years. Hoo-ah!
I have found the basis for the Inquisitor conversion:
Nobledark... First time I think I have heard that. Interesting concept and how I originally saw the Imperium of Man I suppose. But GW just kept going further and further down the grimdark road so t...
I am not on Facebook either, thanks for sharing those cool photos.
@Charles Tottington Good for you. It's a sh*t platform.
@Grumpy Gnome Honestly I wouldn't mind Warhammer 40k toning down the Grimderp. Preferably have it Nobledark with satiracal elements, where while you do have good members of the Imperium, they often...
@JTam Oh, its facebook. Don't really have an account nor do I plan to.
@Grumpy Gnome Looking back there has been some great opportunities. I guess if you stay in long enough there has to be some highpoints among the relentless pounding by the big green we...
@Steffen Seitter Thank You! Much Appreciated! Off to do some further reading.
Not sure if she is wearing gauntlets or not, sorry mate.
Is it happening? A Friday sneak peak: Could it be Polish WW2 Lancers? https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44406/sneak-peek-what-s-behind-the-curtain?
@Kein Fisher I hope you'll post your material. You are 1. Not posting anything competing with WGA on the WGA forum. 2. You are posting something that would motivate one to buy ...
M4A1 76mm in front of a HQs/barracks. I lived in a very similar barracks for four years. We "inherited" it from the Heer, there was still Mauser 98k racks built into the walls. http:...
@Grumpy Gnome@Steven StGeorges Frankly guys, GW is one of those companies that justifies the existence of parental watch dog groups🤣. Every once in a while I find their Black Library in the...
@JTam Pretty sure the ones making the most complaints and have not moved on are the guys with 6th ed minis parts😆. The Conquistadors work really well for the empire, but there is another fa...
Grafenwörhr and Hohenfels, Germany. Maybe 2016 or 17. Bundeswehr issue sidearm, HK P8: Single action was nice. The double action was worse than a M9.... which is saying somet...
@JTam In Hittite sources, they mentioned a city state named "Wilusa" which most historicans on this topic believe it's the city we know as Troia, Troya, Troja, Troy, Trois, Illios or Ilium. The ...
Found it for free: https://tubitv.com/movies/610013/battle-of-warsaw-1920?start=true Only dubbed unfortunately.
@Grumpy Gnome that was a great read! Thanks
@Steffen Seitter Can you tell us more? From your posts I can tell you know more about ancient history than I ever will.
@Brian Van De Walker I think the WGA models would scale nicely with the Empire models I have: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/50188/conquistador-size-comparison The...
The term "Dark Age" for the early medieval period is mostly obsolete in historical and science. The period is covered by the late antiquity (284 to 565) and the early medieval (565 to 1066). Some h...
@Grumpy Gnome I think that is the model! Is she wearing gauntlets? That will make the plan to convert her to an Officer for Bolt Action a bit more difficult. Still the low...
@Miyuso Very cool. Mine just turned 3. We will try this first step when she is ready: Although even just posting this I realized I could my own version at home with miniatures.&nb...
"Trojans" (or better Wilusians) could be represented in a range which they belong - Arzawa States. There are no companies with any ranges for the Anatolian Arzawa States.
