Yes it was a terrible STL of the Mark IV. But both would need some work to be printable and look decent.

Alright. Very quick mock ups of Mark IV APC, and Matilda APC.
(German) (Cossack in German Service) (Romanian) (Hungarian) So a German Heer/SS/Cossack in German service kit seems super easy to do. Making the same kit capable of c...
Back to the Tachanka for a bit. Sarissa makes a nice one: https://sarissa-precision.com/products/tachanka- And that fact that you're making a wood cart out of wood is pleasing. But it's ju...
@JTam The toolbox with a lock was a godsend for the stuff (like hobby knives) that I absolutely could not risk the toddler getting a hold of and the stuff (like my hobby paints and nicer paint bru...
@JTam Heck yeah, I was thinking cyber eagle or wolf drones, but mutant animal head dresses would be awesome.
Frankly I think both would be nice. The screen has two sides, after all.
For a Chimera: What about a MK IV with the sponsons deleted, a Chimera turret on top, and the front prow opening like a Land Raider's ramp? Alternately, a MK IV with the left sponson being t...
@Chris Smith @Forrest Wentworth Two ingenious solutions. A genuine Thank You for sharing them. I have a little one and I've been wondering how to get back at it with a inquisitiv...
I like the idea of a self-contained introductory box and I love the hard plastic of WA... but I don't think the two are perfectly compatible. Wizkids sells miniatures already assembled (no sprue) ...
@Forrest Wentworth Would they have optional furs with mutant rat/wolf heads by any chance?
The military factions are good, but I think a faction or two that could pull on the cyberpunk/ganger/post-apocalyptic aesthetic would be warranted as well. It could take advantage of some of ...
Done with the time lizards. (I just went the easy route and textured/washed the base to look like concrete.) I even hit them with some matte varnish, and I'm normally way too lazy to do that....
@Chris Smith Right there with you. All my miniature paints are kept in a locked tool box to keep little hands out of them. My desk also folds down for space (and it makes a great space ...
@BS Kitbasher I honestly don't know. I just remembered stumbling across them a little while ago.
Would the banner on the right which currently displays latest topics be better off showing latest comments/posts instead? Lots of the topics on there are 4 days old but there is new commen...
@Grumpy Gnome Serious although perhaps unanswerable question: doesn't WW2 28mm miniatures outsell all other historical miniatures combined? (I suppose only a manufacturer that s...
@Ian Jewett The Saracen doesn't look like a Taurox, as a Saracen doesn't look like:
I've just had a quick read through this and, as a parent of UK schoolchildren (primary) I csn dort of see the merit in having educational sets for things. For example, my eldest is 7 and l...
Bit late to the party on this one, but I've repurposed an old writing desk that was originally a birthday present for my wife, but after a decade of taking a beating from house moves and kids, give...
Perhaps not the highest priority, interwars cavalry of various nations may be more popular sellers but I was reminded of this... https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/german-cavalry-horses-1935/
Saracen maybe? Although those straight up look like Taurox.
I have not decided what to use for a Chimera equivilent. It will probably not be based on the Comet though.
@Lee Langston Really looking forward to an update. Fantastic conversions so far.
@Pygmy Hippo This man speaks truth. It's worth noting that the first pics/forces GW teased from Old World Resurrections was Kislevite.
"Wears a space helmet with a leather jacket guy" is almost done. Just got the metallics and a few layers on his shoes/boots to paint and to grubby up his helmet.
This is an unbelievably cool concept
@Pygmy Hippo Yup Polish Winged Hussars would be fantastic standalone or for kitbashing/fantasy stuff Plus they're natural opposition for the Ottomans
@JTam Have you deliberately been posting a lot of very attractive Russian women in military uniforms or is that purely accidental? lol
@Billy Baxter Are you suggesting one Axis kit to cover Heer, SS, Cossacks in German service, maybe Italians, maybe Japanese, maybe Romanians, maybe Bulgarians, maybe Hungarians? I think the...
I don't think I can help much with the main questions, but if it helps: Warhammer's lizard-people used to draw from this sort of "Mayincatec" sort of aesthetic, including the obsidian swords/clu...
Potentially extremely useful.
@JTam My high school spent quite a bit of time on the Great Depression, WW2 and the Holocaust. Our teacher would even have 'fun' little exercises, like splitting up the class into the c...
To paraphrase Dr Nick Riviera, "The Axis? I am so sick of that guy." There are many, many WW2 kits I would want to see ahead of Axis Cavalry. If you have nowhere left to go but...
@Forrest Wentworth Are their miniatures all resin? I like the priestess you posted, and the warrior on their site who appears to have a khopesh or scimitar-shaped macahuitl.
If you are looking for more fantasy terrain, Archon recently had a Kickstarter for plastic terrain that included the Kazumi range, a sort of mesoamerican fantasy design. They also sell some f...
@Forrest Wentworth thanks, I'll check those out.
@Pygmy Hippo +100
Yes it was an anderson shelter @JTam
@Pygmy Hippo Wisdom. Thank You.
Valkir - happily they are on schedule now Storm Troopers support weapons set
In every single poll Wargames Atlantic has ever held, I always submit Rennaisance Polish Winged Hussars, and Rennaisance Polish infantry (with matchlocks and polearms). And I still think there's a ...
Excellent, dark-looking squad. Greens, weapons, beards... very nice.
@Grumpy Gnome Personally, I am not that much into Ottomans, but I agree: A Box of real US line Infantry for 1812 is missing. They could be joined by a sprue containing some scouts. Another Id...
@JTam No, they don't do individual model casualty removal. That said, you CAN do it, but that would be for visual reasons only. As far as the game rules go it isn't required. For that reaso...
Space Samurai would be excellent. I also dream about faction with robed bodies (in Dark Angels style). And more monsters, of course.
@BS Kitbasher Do you know if your schools get to WW2? Again this sounds ridiculous, but when I was a kid we never got past the Civil War x 3 times. People malign video games, b...
