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.
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...

@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?
@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...
