@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.

Footsore, Onslaught and Baccus 6mm.   Otherwise WGA should build up a monopoly on high Quality Plasic Sets and throw Victrix from the Throne.

The design goes way back to the 40‘s. Not really the design itself (EM-2 was some flapper system, whereas the first SA60 prototypes were literally Sterling-made AR-18s chopped apart and as...

(vowed never to play/but anything AOS) after GW killed the Old World) Similar approach here, though not quite as strong. I'm very unlikely to play it, certainly not as a wargame, and I wouldn't ...

Kings of War. I'm using Persians to make an army, and she wanted to work on one, so we are using a hodge podge of manufacturers to make stuff for her

@Grumpy Gnome  Quite a vibrant post my dear. 👏 Move Chaos -not chaos or disorder thanks to the vastness of the Imperium- out of W40k, and everything should be better. Rick tried but failed t...

As a none military man I still enjoy your amazing comparisions to todays and yesterdays weaponary. It reminds me of conversations I had with an American Major named Bob Weaver who was stationed at ...

Speaking of Weird War Napolepnics.... this blog has some great inspirations that can be easily tweaked to suit I believe. https://bogdanwaz.blogspot.com/2014/08/dr-sandorius-and-resurrection-men_2...

@Red Bee You may find this blog series interesting if you like a bit of the supernatural and Napoleonic era Haiti. https://bogdanwaz.blogspot.com/2022/01/first-silver-bayonet-game-solo-campai...

@Grumpy Gnome shame, the hatian revolution is my favorite historical period. I guess it makes sense, given Haitians probably wouldn't be fighting most folks on the the continent. Still I can't be t...

@JTam   Indeed... I was not aware about Reaper's Cthulhu Mythos range.   

@Red Bee Trent Miniatures but I think they went out of business and sold their molds to someone else... I can not remember who. Arcane Scenery still has some of their stuff in stock I believe....

@Steven StGeorges Well I pick up a couple of digitial copies of WSS every once an awhile and have several "Free Fanzine" type wargamer mag PDFs, and if I see any hobby related mags at the libr...

@JTam Hmmm, I don't actually think Landsknechts at least historical ones, would do much better though they might do just as well, I think non-ogre strictly for Death Fields Landsknechts (or somet...

Is it this one? The sculpts sometimes change a bit from the concept sketches. https://www.reapermini.com/miniatures/chronoscopebones/latest/80069

Rick Priestly himself said 40k was created with irony and silliness and that after other writers increasingly took over it went more “po-faced”, which he felt missed the point. http://...

Pacific expansion/scenarios.   FJ expansion/scenarios: (SS Paratroopers but I would be comfortable using FJ miniatures).

Almost every book in the Osprey "Raid" series provides inspirations for scenarios for this game. https://ospreypublishing.com/store/military-history/series-books/raid You could recreate these wit...

@Blutze  Despite living in Germany for many years now my German is still abysmal, especially my spelling. Sorry about that. The correct spelling is of course Schützenschnur, thanks for th...

@Grumpy Gnome Frankly don't know why, WH40k is so grimedrip its ranges far beyond mere satire into Judge Dredd and One Punchman land, comical  squats would have fit in fine.  @Caratacus...

GW just came out with this watery ghoul character: I don't follow AOS very closely (vowed never to play/buy anything AOS after GW killed the Old World) but this guy looks pretty sweet.

I'm relatively ignorant of the genera of war gaming, but does any one make minis based off the Haitian revolution? 

@Charles Tottington  Was reminded of your project and its French in Egypt  https://www.facebook.com/groups/460868411872277/permalink/661867268439056/?app=fbl

@Miyuso   That looks awesome!  I'm impressed.  Is there a game you will use the bunnies for?

Bunnies! 

@Steven StGeorges  I Googled that, and it's a neat range. But I believe this is a Reaper product??

@JTam & @Grumpy Gnome  Look more like Crooked Dice's Lurkers from the Deep range 

@Grumpy Gnome  That's a great story/insight into serving with British forces.  I remember thinking the L85 was super "high speed" when I was a youngster.  Seemed really modern and f...

"Mais pas d'oignons aux Autrichiens," "Non pas d'oignons, non pas d'oignons."

@Blutze   100% agree with this. 100% disagree with this. 1.  Those are pretty normal females in pretty normal poses above. 2.  There is no nefarious plan by the IDF to have s...

@Grumpy Gnome  I look at it another way.  The AR was so innovative when introduced it's been near impossible to improve upon in 66 years.   Inline stock, space age light weig...

@Grumpy Gnome  The M4 is not inherently less accurate than the M16A2.  The reduced site radius (roughly the same as the maligned AK) makes it less accurate in actual use than the M16A2...

*Schnur. Please don't turn this into another Landsknecht. The G36 is indeed a bit of a stack - piston system, mounting hooks, 90s optics, effectively piggybacked, all of it with luxurious margins,...

While I'm happy for the Oldhammer fans, this release doesn't do much for me.  Not only do I prefer the more distinctive "squats" made by Wargames Atlantic and Mantic, but I wouldn't buy the GW...

@Steven StGeorges Let me reiterate... “I did not say comical was bad. Just that the new model looks less comical than previous Squats.” Of course Rogue Trader was more openly sati...

@JTam   ..oh and could be quite a project for our beloved Dr Mathias 😁

@Caratacus   So if the Squat Strikes Back, there is still hope for all of us.... 😁 -a sentence my last surviving and unpainted squat vintage minis would like .. if they could express themselv...

@Steven StGeorges as @JTam has correctly pointed out, GW have definitely confirmed that their new Squats are going to be a full faction. Note that in the Jervis Johnson article they also stated th...

@Steven StGeorges  That Oldhammer blog is awesome.  Thank You. Excellent: This is some dedication:
