@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:

@Grumpy Gnome  +1.  

Fantastic

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.

@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...
