OK, that's it - done, despite my usual source of sprues not having any CF(2), luckily I have a backup who wanted to play. I already have one fetching Ranger/Recon/Green Beret figure, now she's goi...
Thanks, So it's the SMALL option then, they look like they are CF2/ Stargrave 2 compatible. (I wonder if those Damned will turn up 40K sized to annoy kitbashers everywhere, needing LARGE heads in ...
Just had a look at their site. It seems they do an interesting series of Female heads. @JTam Would I be correct in assuming that the LARGE options are for W40K and lookalikes wheras the SMA...
Sights, scopes, perhaps even the occaisional underslung G/L? On the otherhand, there is the danger of overclutter, perhaps only 2-3 of those guys should get the goodies as upgrades. TI/IINF should...
The ultimate conclusion to the ROBOTS - FUBAR saga (for me at least) was a refund on the offending items. Below is what I went out & bought to replace them. I am more than confident they will...
After 5 years of campaigning against a certain Mr Sharpe, they may be running low on the stuff (not La Garde of course ) . The 'official' Silver Bayonet figures are the overscaled 'Heroic' 28mm, t...
@JTam As for mix/match, here's a group of WIP figures to illustrate. Front left is a vanilla WGA rifleman as reference, his neighbours use the same torso plus Victrix flank co arms & ...
You don't have to wait for lunge mine armed Damned horesemen : A 1 point wonder unit under Xenos Rampant - HI, Mobile, Mercenary, Undiciplined WA Einherjar upper torso, CF arms various heads, P...
First up is a crew of French Napoleonic Garde Horse Artillery: WA Rifles bodies & swords with Victrix arms and various heads : The officer was the last conversion of the 1st box. I bought a ...
@JTam Its the one where he is 'hanged' so sent off to work independantly behind enemy lines (and presented with his long tailed horse). Remains an independant until he rejoins and takes command of ...
All of them can be used as Stargrave Captain/Mate characters, the KillBot in the middle could be a robo-Commando, robo-Pathfinder or just plain unwanted attention. ;)
@Tor Dunderkuk Part ot the idea of these fora is to share tips & tricks :). Blue Stuff (other thermoplasic resins are out there) is an oldtimer's repair and rescue saviour when one of your fav...
Yep, guys I have got enough photo capability to post figures, there is enough stuff over the ROBOTS-FUBAR era to annoy you all for a wee while - non of it will involve only-games. Another collecti...
Front 4 figures are an RHA Officer Victrix telescope Perry LDragoon head, Sgt using a Victrix NCO torso and 2 Sharpes (early and later exploring officer). The rear two mounted ones use Warlord Gam...
@Tor Dunderkuk Look at Blue Stuff Thermoplastic moulding material. Take a GW spacewomble powerfist, kit bash it to your delight (e.g add an integrated small laser pistol, file off the extrenuous d...
I have just got a copy of Osprey Games Xenos Rampant . This handles a roughly company sized battle group with some artillery and vehicle involvement on a 6"*6" table, platoon sized on a 4"*4". It ...
@Geoff Maybury Replied on the Robots FUBAR thread....
@Paul Mitting Just sent that PM, if you can't see it, reply here.
@Geoff Maybury I have made mine up with mostly AnvInd bits , only used their torsos. I'll send you the original scale spare arms/weapons I have if you PM me a postal address. I ...
I just mentioned a couple of examples which I have actually used as an illustration. Also there is plenty of potential for use of plastic spares from the likes perry, victrix and even warlord games.
@Paul Mitting Might be worth having a word...
@Barry Evans other manufacturers supply stuff which can be used I have used these true 28mm weapons for my cannon fodder militia CP models 28mm Weapons This Heresy Officer upgrade kit was origi...
@Bill Thomas @JTam @Geoff Maybury @Paul Mitting @Charles Tottington Last week I finally got a refund from MMF for those underscaled 'Bots ordered last December. As part of that discussion, ...
@Geoff Maybury On the original topic of this thread, I have just been directly contacted by someone senior at only-games, there may be signs of progress here.
@William Ings If you like cards, take a look at Sharp Practice by TFL, that is a character driven 28mm Napoleonic skirmish game. Chain of Command is the WWII dervative. It seems TFL do a 15m...
@Geoff Maybury All games should be bought, played, discarded, subsequently revisited but above all enjoyed. Otherwise you become a GamesWorkshop zombie ;} In the UK they have infiltrated the scou...
So the Rubicon stuff is all pre-release then. Perhaps take the platform off a Rubicon mule and fit it to the legs/robotics off an unmade Iron Core version (or just scratch build a 75% ?? platform ...
The original role for that 'Mule' was primarily CASEVAC - though not a popular subject for the publicity photographer. The platform is sized for 2 casualty litters (with the driver cage pushed for...
My mules can drag kit all the way from Imperial Rome via a Games of Thrones set outside Belfast to a supply dump in the Chindits without looking out of place. Your beast is a cross breed between t...
...... The WA Plastic Napoleonic Spanish passed far beyond the Schwartzschild Radius years ago. 4 months into this fiasco and still no resolution :( I assembled the 2 Mk1 MMF robot figures ...
Sounds like you got shipped the same 'nanoheads' ultra pre-production junk as I was. :( I fitted a spare Anvil Industry head AnvInd Robo Head as a trial on one 'Bot (I'd previously been expe...
@Geoff Maybury The Dec 15th announcement of the AI and Human Security Figures is buried in the 2nd page of blogs: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/two-new-death-fields-figure-packs These s...
@Paul Mitting Never mind. By using them, MMF can get out of paying a refund by telling you to return the faulty goods intact. @Geoff Maybury @Paul Mitting @JTam et al I've just been...
@Paul Mitting It seems ALL early users were intentionally sent broken scrap weapons and what I have called MK1 figures (possibly also with what I have called nanoheads). Hold fire on using those f...
Abandon the entire genre! - I'm sure each bit of that overloaded freak has a whole chapter in some rule addendum which makes the thing invincible (until GW bring out the next monstrosity). Equally ...
I've been avoiding GW for a good 30 years now. Perhaps they should take over MMF & show 'em how to screw up and treat their customers with true contempt? I see you liked the 'I sent a PM' abov...
@Bill Thomas Nice, Your CF Civilian controller with the standard CF head would be up there with that Spectre figure on the right if you'd fitted a head supplied with the CF Civillian kit. That is ...
@Geoff Maybury Tried to send a PM via this platform, it sent but bounced back with an error message. There is a chance it may have got through to you before the script dumped.
Looks like the .stl files for the 'Bots got upgraded and rescaled after I got my physical models. I found that the physical Arena Security models were also a little large, seemingly based on...
Indeed those replacements are much larger (and consistent with the original publicity drawings). The new heads come with necks (unlike my original figures). They need to send everyone who was sup...
@Red Bee Nice, I see the wire support for the running figure. Your 'Bot has neck for it's head. Did you print these yourself?
@Bill Thomas I've adopted a similar approach with my WA 'Bots Relacing the useless 'nanoheads' with expensive AnvInd ones I had to go out & purchase. I see your 'Bots have sprouted necks on th...
@Bill Thomas those heads I mentioned above will help ( e.g. https://anvilindustry.co.uk/exo-lord-cyclops-automata-heads-3), I too will dump the broken barrel weapon arms. Note that Anvil have a sy...
I'm guessing it's all due to some sloppy unititalised/default mailto: data in the script. Seems the only debugging on this stuff is left to the users/customers. (A bit like Atlantic Digital printe...
@Mark Dewis Try PMing me to see if your end works ?
