if you buy an action figure like a child it is normally tied down with a wire of sorts. i used it for reigns when I made a dragon-riding mini. 

so my friend shuffled through my wargaming box and made this. It actually turned out kinda cool I might make extras and put them with my death fields sets counting them like a scarecrow unit. and f...

i was'nt originally planning on buying these but I'm seeing some fun ideas presented here, but first I still need my first death fields set to come in. i ordered it with the extra parts sprew when ...

On the other hand, painting convincing female faces is hard too.... so maybe it works out LOL.

@William Redford  Largely concur. Sometimes I think the veils on minis should really be called sculpting female faces is hard 

Great idea!  Thanks for sharing these. Information of the organization of Austro-Hungarian Squads, Platoons, or Companies was somewhat hard to come by. But I found this: While initially i...

And she is covid mask compliant! Though seriously, I am not super fond of the veil on her. She is supposed to be a leader/hero... I think bare faced would be better for that. 

@Benjamin Hayward  Solo adventure wargame rules? Intriguing.  Can you tell us about your impressions?  

Incredible recreation of Diomedes' armor.  

They added a new character model:  

@Christopher Tyrer  Great conversions and great thread.  The WGA German bodies used as Poles looks convincing here. The Siberian Miniatures heads are a great find.  And Thank You ...

These are my completed ballistas. I used WA bodies with Gripping Beast heads to match the rest of my Roman units. 

Looking forward to these, so much so that I picked up three more boxes of the males, since I already used my first two with stargrave parts as armed spaceport workers. Probably going to use these w...

@JTam That would work too. Haircuts definitely match. 

It's good to see someone trying some things out with their spares.  You could have used some bolt action Handschar ss heads & made yourself some Bosnians, who where great fighters on ...

As Usual. As found on Facebook.   

Hello all, first post here. I decided to experiment with making great War Austrians out of my spare WA Great War Germans. The heads are WWII German field caps which were based on the Austrian caps....

This problem can be averted by buying more models and base them on any conceivable type of base. No rebasing needed. Jest aside, I began with the hobby last summer and it has been something I have ...

@William Redford  Being trapped and hunted on a prison also reminds me of:

@Yronimos Whateley Holy smokes, that Forest of Doom is GLORIOUS.

Definitely hyped.  I want to use both Cannon Fodder sets to make/fill out enemy gangs for Five Parsecs from Home. They're both so dang versatile!

That's tho route I've gone with all my wargaming, whether it takes place in the past, present, future, reality, fantasy, or sci-fi. Basing minis looks good for display purposes, but my OCD kicks i...

How many times have you heard a great base makes any figure, and that's relativeley true. There is, however, a time when a base can spoil your game and sadly become a figure with a piece of dragged...

Super simple ine from me, but bread clips.  You know those plastic squares with the hole punched in them that hold closed bread bags?  They are a consistent thickness and plastic glue wor...

Siberia-miniatures command figures. I'm just waiting upon my Polish eagle! Next up... Lithuanian Infantry!

Siberia-miniatures 28mm Poles. They really go well with the WA figures. More or less the same scale. I even gave two figures a WA head!

Officer's body taken from WA WW1 French (arms German). Map case is a spare bit from Bolt Action Germans. Adrian helmets also taken from WA WW1 French.

Some NCOs & two chauchat light machine gunners. The chauchats taken from WA WW1 French.

My interest in early 20th century history doesn't finish on 11th November 1918. The current projects that I am engaged with are some of the conflicts fought after the aformentioned date.  He...

Seriously, has anyone figured out the hole in that shield? I noticed the hole was even mentioned in the On Table Top/Beast of War video that WGA posted on the main site. Is it just a failed attem...

@JTam It's a top book! I just wish it went upto 1923.

To start here's a piece of scatter terrain for industrial/sci-fi gaming. PROJECT: Poo bag rolls ---> stack of pipes scatter terrain TIME: 10-20 minutes (depending on how long it takes the glue...

So over the years, I'm sure we've all discovered various tips and tricks to help out our hobby.  I've found that sometimes stuff we would think of as trash is often incredibly useful.  So...

@Slow Painter That is a CLEAN paint job - nice!

Yes, it is looking very likely to be WW2 Polish Cavalry.  If I was going to buy WW2 Cavalry, I would prefer them to be dismounted rather than mounted but with my WW1 Eastern front head on...

I have a box of Cannon fodder and will get a box of the female cannon  fodder. My plan for these? I am going to run a one-off Starwars Edge of The Empire adventure. If it goes well, maybe conv...

Oh Snap! https://www.facebook.com/335747290324479/posts/1082589488973585/?app=fbl

@Yronimos Whateley  Some great ideas there.  That would be a fun game/campaign. Are you familiar with 7TV game from Crooked Dice?  It kind of captures the feel you are going for.&n...

That volume does have material relevant to WW1 German cavalry:      

@Red Bee  Man I loved that show.

Additional information on WW1 Cossack Cavalry: Portrayal of a Cosaack in the  Russian Civil War: From "Uniforms of World War 1" by Jonathan North.  

Found this about Cossack horse furniture: The sneak peak horse furniture has the bedroll up front and what appears to be a saddle bag to the aft.  I don't this was an uncommon configurati...

@Grumpy Gnome exactly why I used those helmets. Love me some Chaos Dwarves 

My 8 year old is learning to paint, but isn't feeling all that confident yet. Wondering who else has a kid who paints and wants to show off their work? I'll post some of what she's worked on when s...

@Christopher Tyrer  If you mean this Encyclopedia of WW1 Uniforms let me save you a trip to the attic. I looked through it last night and there's nothing on Poles in the post WW1 period.&n...

@JTam  I think that you maybe closer to the ball park than me.  Just did a little research via Google 8 we can rule out German uhlans too.

Ive been thinking of adding Americans to the setting. I think I'd go Scifi Old West. Think Firefly, Westworld, Beebop, Fallout New Vegas, Dark tower, and maybe even a smidge of Brave Star. Not sure...

Battlestar Galactica seems like it could be a fun idea - I bet that Stargrave rules would be perfect for some skirmishing in that setting, and the Iron Core Isenkern figures seem to me like a "clos...
