@Estoc   Sounds like a 500 point game of Bolt Action would do the trick.  Bolt Action is nominally made for 28mm but many use 15mm with no changes.  I imagine 54mm to 12mm could all...

@JTam My current location means I have only a single possible opponent anyways, and he generally just uses whatever models and rulesets I have on hand. My local game store doesn't stock any non-gw...

Can't you just figure out the proportion of WGA figures and make models scaled to that?

The wear on the Technician's weapon is really well done.  Great work!  Thanks for sharing your work.

Mrs. GG is not into 20th Century warfare so Chain of Command will be a solo endeavor for me. She is willing to try Sharp Practice (Napoleonic or French & Indian War) but it will take some serio...

Yevdokiya Zavaliy was a Ukrainian girl of 16 when she started her military career as a medic.  She would finish the war as a Naval Infantry Platoon Leader. Supposedly nicknamed "Frau Black ...

It's always enjoyable to see people's creativity and good fortune in cool gaming areas, gaming tables, miniatures storage, reference libraries, painting tables, giant piles of unpainted plastic, et...

Back to some Americans helping out the French.  This brings me up to two squads of Hellraisers. Pretty happy with how these came out.  At this point I only have 15 models left to paint. ...

@Bill Thomas That's pretty cool and has to be super cinematic.😀

What's the general time line for how long each part of the manufacturing process takes?  I'm not looking for hard and fast time frames, just general ballpark estimates. For example: "Tooling ...

Beautiful colors! I look forward to watching this unfold.  I know you wanted the blue to be darker on your first model but it is a great looking blue. Your shading is well done. 

Hello everyone! I don't really play any games, but I love the painting aspect of miniatures. I returned to the hobby about 6 years ago, and have been very slowly painting ever since. I tend to fli...

So I've started a project, where I build/paint/convert for a particular theme. So far I've put together and painted a few Grognards, and I've recently picked up the Cannon Fodder and Partisans...

I dont think WGA has any plans to go fully into the tanks/armoured production as that alone requires a different style of model making then we see on 28mm figures.  A big Issue I have with th...

The upcoming New Kingdom Egypt Sets includes shields from the late NKE period arround the time of the Battle of Kadesh. Here are some suggestion for shield sets to cover the rest of the NKE period...

I'd considered buying some 1/35 scale vehicles before just to see what I could do with them.  And, there are plenty of them out there - 1/35 seems to be THE scale to go to, for a wide selectio...

@Grumpy Gnome  Chain of Command sounds really good.  I doubt I'll ever find an opponent to play with, but I may pick up the rules as I enjoy seeing how different games solve different pr...

@Yronimos Whateley to be honest 1/35 souped up to be sci-fi is probably better looking next to heroic scale minis than 1/48.

@JTam I am sorry we are just not going to see eye to eye on this one.  While I understand you think it looks better next to figures and you have point in that regard, nothing you can say or ...

@JTam  Wow! That is some detailed research. I have some Bolt Action books but prefer Chain of Command from Toofatlardies. @S. Oatley I have watched quite a few Tabletop CP videos and they...

ROFL - I thought you were kidding! It's ghoulish, but darkly, blood-chillingly hilarious - an orcish sense of humor for sure!  :D  I'm not sure what bits went into those goblins, but th...

I think it's worth noting that ANY choice is going to be a compromise. 28mm wargaming figures are such a strange 'scale' that NOTHING is quite "right". I think the real question to ask first is w...

I think I agree completely, Brian! My only reservation kind of depends I suppose on what's meant by "camp followers" - if it applies to the whole range of non-combatants who follow behind the armi...

@Estoc   Realize this is a 30 day old question but if it's still a relevant: Bolt Action is far and away the most popular 28mm WW2 game/rules set.  It is miniatures agnostic.  Th...

@S. Oatley  Those look good already!  The "stone gray" pants in particular are well done.  Like the highlights.

@Emperor's Will  Hi, there's a long running thread about a similar idea here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44480/kitbashing-kits-and-character-creation-kit Maybe yo...

@BS Kitbasher  one more angle 

Here is what it looks like stuffed with hobbit head.  

@S. Oatley  I'll check out Tabletop CP - Thanks! Sam Bellamy posted some outstanding 1/56 T34 vs 1/48 T34 vs plastic Infantry pictures here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/...

@Grumpy Gnome  I don't know what rules set you use, but I have and enjoyed the "Germany Strikes" supplement for Bolt Action.  It covers all the early war campaigns in Europe. I'm ...

@Grumpy Gnome  Awesome Brother.   They could face off in the Battle of France. I believe Matildas did some real damage to the 7th Panzer Division which was widely equipped with 38...

@JTam Thanks! Female head is from Raumjager set @Estoc @Grumpy Gnome @Vitor Soares @Hudson Adams @BS Kitbasher @Michael McEwan @Yronimos Whateley @Ben S Thank you! 😀 @Benjamin Hayward Thanks! Mec...

Wild card: Russian troops equipped by the French in the Balkans and France.  (This seems a little esoteric even for WGA).      Or maybe the double "bed roll" is in fact a h...

The best match for the rifle pouches I can find is the Japanese:

@Christopher Tyrer  Hmmmh. It's possible. Key identifying features on the running figure.   1. Putees.  (Although that's 90% the personnel in WW1.) 2. Double rifle pouches w...

Whereas the P38(t) deck plate looks much smaller.

I am not sure what scale the Cromwell is, I got it used on eBay, but the footprint looks similar considering the deck plate next to the Matilda.

@JTam  A pair of early war tanks, a P38(t) and a Matilda. Still not sure exactly how I will use them at this stage but both will mark fine display pieces even if I do not manage to fit them in...

There are definitely pros and cons to each. I voted for 1/56 out of sheer self interest but I suppose that's what we're all doing!  Clearly 1/56 tanks aren't 'to scale' and I can underst...

I'm having a bit of a fantasy "Feudal Japan" moment right now using Daisho and Ronin along with some mash-up hoembrew rules and the Skeletons make and ideal wave unit... I know skeletons aren't the...

Morning all! Another returnee to models and games after many years abscence... funny how age and serious illness (now fully recovered!) can bring you back to things that you love but had forgotten!...

I know where you're coming from re inf vs veh at 1/56, however I would say there is a huge difference in 1/48, you then need to think about the rest of your scenery too. The example you've given is...

Hi, WG "blitzkrieg" germans box are a good fit, plastic and fit for purpose, buy the early war pioneers, and for a few £ more, you get an extra figure (metal) and all their extra kit, flameth...

@JTam  WW1 Serbs..? I do hope so!

@JTam Appreciated! 😎🤙

@JTam   The 1/56 Rubicon M4A3 Sherman kit that you showed is their first release of that kit. They have since retired it, and replaced it with a kit that has more than two sprues. I don't se...

@Grumpy Gnome  What did you get?

@William Ings I am going to always vote for male and female civilian partisans kits with arm bits for civilian poses over camp followers (which started out as a COMPLETE JOKE AND FRANKLY SHOULD ST...

Doing research for my switch over from 1/56 to 1/48 I would say 1/48 still lacks availability of a lot of vehicles.  I am hoping the 1/48 kits I do get are not too delicate. The first couple ...

Here's an illustration of the difference between display models and gaming models. Here are some sprues from a Rubicon (gaming model) Sherman: It looks like the suspension is 8 parts. Contra...
