I'm looking for some inspiration for einherjar, so please post some pictures of your painted, or just built space dwarfs. Kitbashes welcome!

@Dalton McCormick Not bad at all. If you did want to bring out the detail on the faces, have you considered experimenting with a wash? From the picture, it doesn't look like you've use...
Wow. JTam's book collection is amazing, especially since it is so focused on its subject matter. Berggeit's setup is impressively efficient and organized. And Mr. Redford's space ...
Well done for someone being a new painter. I too can't wait to see those Goths!
Finished off my first 4 Late Roman Legionnaires that I plan on using as Romano-British soldiers. I also have some Irish that I am slowly painting as some adversaries for these dudes. Stil...
@JTam I think it could. And Polish Winged Hussars are ever so popular!
If these are movement trays for square bases for rank and flank games - it would be awesome if they could also be built/used as bases for chariots, vehicles, catapults, monsters, etc.
Could one Ottoman Infantry kit cover the late 17th and and early 18th century? That could cover the Siege of Vienna in 1683. And other stuff in the early 1700s.
Anybody else want to put a statue of Sigmar on the bow of one jumbo ship, make another jumbo ship all orcified and looted; and then have the ships locked together and fight a small WFB boarding act...
Never would have thought to combine Halflings with Roman elements. Nicely done!
@Will Mansell I could not agree more! And Ottomans might be a good place for some heavy field artillery as well. .... and big, ornate tents.... ok, I am getting a bit carried awa...
@Yronimos Whateley One of the few times I find myself disagreeing with you mate. @BS Kitbasher my thoughts echoes yours on this.
@William Redford Boarding perhaps from a pair of sloops? *wink*
I found the old WGF female survivors had a good mix of feminine heads. Some were very glam, while others were more bland, old or heavyset (to match the bodies). They didn't go all crazy...
@Will Mansell yeah, I haven't used it in game yet but that is probably what she will be used as. Though she would definitely make a good stage for boarding actions or other settings where out...
That one slinger really isn't very careful.
Thank you. The goblin on the left uses a WGA Late Roman body and limbs. The guy on the right has a late Roman body and arms with an Einharjar ruff, a cape from ...uh, Fireforge? a shiel...
@William Redford dude that ship is beautiful, I want to build one now! Although it must take a huge tablespace for it have any movement. Feel like it would do great as a moored ...
@Mithril2098 we wonr know how long it will take, its not even near done. you can see the most upto date status on it on the release schedule. currently in Fileprep.
And this cover photo from the Warlord set probably show the most iconic 'uniform' of the Janissaries (probably too uniform here)
This illustration shows the range of headwear in the 16th century, from Jannisary bork, turbans and the Sipahi armoured helm.
BONUS POINTS if the tachanka comes with a figure to represent the fictional yet legendary Bolshevik heroine - Anka the Machine Gunner aka анка пулеметчицаа. A character from an early Soviet movi...
@Erik Pearl I agree, I think Ottomans are the natural next step considering how dominant and iconic they are for this period. I’ve been thinking about the best way WGA could cov...
Work on my Halfling empire is well under way now. I'll be using them for games of Dragon Rampant at my local wargames club.
An assembled ship was posted in the KS update today. Again I believe this is a Waegames Atlantic kit, though it has not been cpnfirmed yet. It looks really good.
@Mithril2098 That is one reason I am thinking of changing the ranges and movement in my house rules for Chain of Command... I want the rules to reflect 28mm instead of 15mm figures.
@Berggeit I admire your well organized workspace mate. @JTam That is an impressive collection of literature brother. @William Redford I am in envy of all your hobby space... and ...
@JTam House 6... It is official now... :) The Big Grey Ship is the Reaper Bones Pirate Ship, Sophie's Revenge... Though mine I call :Mischief" I will give the Multi-pcs a try, next time.&n...
@William Redford Nice! Like the displayed helmet. The Boss-Wife is generous. In the Army a unit will have a radio call sign like "Saber" or "Bandaid," etc. Specific indiv...
I have 2 areas sanctioned by Boss-wife. My home office (Ground floor) and the unfinished room (Basement). Edit: Sorry for the small photos... I cant seem to post multimple photos so combined them ...
OK, got a neat one The Tachanka. The Tachanka was used during WW1, the Bolshevik Revolution, and WW2 to provide fire support for cavalry units. Makes sense: high mobility and speed ...
@Berggeit Nicely done! That's an awesome setup. Must really improve the modeling/painting experience and efficiency. Is the sorter integrated into the left shelf? Cool.
And the winners are announced! https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/winners-from-the-forum
Part of the disconnect between minis and vehicle sizes I think stems from the fact that rulesets are evolving. Older rulesets tended to be more representational with abstract ground scaling. Visual...
Any chance you play ww2 games?😂 That's an impressive collection of books you got there. Happen to have the book "Warriors of the rising sun" as well. I began with wargaming in August and designate...
Given that the late roman infantry in lorica hamata set talks up an upcoming army builder set, I find it odd that we've not really had much mention of when said set should be expected. As someone w...
For any Russian/Soviet inspired Death Fields team, it might be worth looking at some of the more sci-fi Soviet weapons prototypes:
The shift in size, despite being labeled the same scale, between Warlord Games metal and plastic WW2 Italians is annoying. The same with buying Perry and Warlord Games 28mm WW2 figures and not havi...
I don't presume to speak for WGA. But I will note they aren't afraid to take risks. Plastic 28mm Aztecs???? That's a bold move. And I hoping it continues to pay off for them...
I notice few (no one?) seems to be arguing 1/56 is actually the right scale to match 28mm. Arguments tend to be along the lines of 1/56 being more or less the defacto standard. (True enough)...
@Cole Lassell 1/48 vehicles are usuable in Bolt Action. Many do so. A few pictures of 1/48 armor have crept into a few Warlord Games Bolt Action campaign books. I own an ex...
@Will Mansell All good points, clearly expressed. Reference your number 9. It I agree it is pleasure to compare different models of the same scale together. To get a sense of their s...
I love the colours in this! It sounds like you used a whole range of parts, but the whole group looks very cohesive and thematic!
@Brendan O'Connor thanks! It's grown on me a bit since I finished him, I think I'll try desaturating a bit more next time, though. I'm a big fan of the turquoise and that green - I tend to use...
The M6 GMC Fargo. No more and no less than a 37mm gun mounted en portee on a 3/4 ton truck. While not a terrible successful vehicle it has an early war an "Army at Dawn" charm. When con...
That's still pretty fortunate. My Wife and wargaming are a straight no-go. I still have some hopes of brainwashing the offspring.
