@Battle Specter What is your German mini thing? Just curious. i won't be buying for a few reasons, not least is the price and the medium.
Shadokesh, the aliens from the Iron Core/Dreamforge universe. There were some models of them released during the Dreamforge kickstarter, and Wargames Atlantic teased some renders.
They could use bulky digitigrade bipedal bodies for a lot of aliens, if the bodies are fully clothed. A choice of head and tail could make them felinoid, canid, rat-like or even more alien. &...
First of all, thank you for reminding me of Kentucky Fried Movie. I'm mostly building skirmish sized forces at most, as I tend to enjoy converting more than force building. I have en...
Are you limited to licensing to Only Games as a condition of selling STLs through My Mini Factory?
I get the frustration. 3D printing chatter seems to drown out everything else. Even when I had a functioning printer*, I couldn't follow it all. Too many companies sell STLs. &nbs...
@Grumpy Gnome There was someone on Facebook planning to drop a few boxes' worth on votes for Napoleonic Spanish, so maybe not too surprising. I stopped ordering directly from ...
I'd buy some of these to use for Sci Fi or Alt Hist modeling projects. It's refreshing to see equipment, and specially helmets, that one can identify with a time period but not instantly with...
My favorite design so far is from Crocodile games, followed by McDougall's fantasy/comic book amazons. I'd also be interested in the leopard-print amazons and the other Scythian type (I alrea...
@Keith Gatchalian can I ask how you read Tolkien's Orcs as beastmen? I'm just curious where and when this idea originated. The first time I read LOTR, the unfortunate implications of his desc...
@JTam it could be worse. I once got rolled into a thread that left me seeing clown-related “honk honk heaven” ads.
Jackal heads would work really well with the Egyptian sets, too. A sprue with all kinds of animal heads designed to fit on human necks/torsos would go a long way for alien variety. I'...
I prefer for a variety of body/armor types on the sprue, such as with the DA Irish and the Persians. The Late Romans are a good kit, but head and arm swaps can only take it so far. With...
The problem with tough, unarmed bugs that can bite through steel and gore men to death is...you're basically describing a bear or a hippo, but, like, uglier. Ooh, scary! Unarmored bug ...
I would slightly prefer to have the option to buy the accessory sprue separately. Seeing WGA's Death Fields Accessory Sorue fire sale, though, I have to wonder if that approach is working out for t...
@Benjamin Hayward But those things have shown up in this hobby. On WGA's Facebook page we saw posters calling a Jewish gamer "woke" for not wanting to play as the Nazis. WGA liked ...
@Brian Van De Walker I would use them for skirmish games. Maybe Frostgrave, maybe some one page rules game. My hobby is more about the minis than the game, and I would like to be a...
@William Redford Bit of everything, really. Delays. Change of medium--stuff I was told would be resin delivered in metal. Then there was a surprise $18 handling charge added ...
I find it less than helpful to spin a fictional outrage crowd story to avoid ever having to think about what one is creating and how it might be perceived. You will clearly dismiss people wit...
looks great. I'll likely go in for more in the second campaign. Not to get too far off tangent, but who makes that non-Reaper bulette?
I'm also waiting on minis to see what I think. I can't remember what I ordered.
Just to address the Benin Orcs thing, for me the issue is less that they are a stereotype and more that they are the only troops available in Benin armor. There are no human miniatures in the...
I participated in their last Kickstarter. Not going to participate in this one.
Do you have any coin purses/pouches? The wine bottle from the Grognard command kit would seem appropriate as well. If you have a bow and a thick spear or something similar, you could ma...
@Charles Tottington link to the Google doc? Here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeip3MrzjJPjJRYdxEGFy4MIcY7cbNM9wJ6-cqOOQhuIRWz4g/viewform?fbzx=-7964966999195317727...
@JTam I mostly agree with you, especially in the context of modern conflicts. There will always be gamers who want to "add flavor" to their "extremely accurate" Waffen SS army, and I'm ...
It's a shame every company has a different idea of what a halfling should look like. TTCombat's are a lot of fun, but they are rolly-poly cartoons compared to WGA's halflings. Mantic ma...
I had to log into Google, and it took me to a Google docs version of it.
I mostly clicked on the gangsters and insurgents. A modern military kit would be great, but only really useful for building modern or near-future military/mercenary minis. Insurgents a...
The background for both the Necrons and the Tyranids were at their peak before 5th edition.
I, too, have spent a lot of time attempting to want to buy Medge character sprues. I keep failing.
A sprue with only one character? If there are enough extra bits, I would buy it like an upgrade sprue that happens to contain an extra body. However, I would prefer something more like ...
All the different orange juice or iced coffee lids are great. Check out Stokk iced coffe, which has lids with more classical arches rather than gothic, and another orange juice (Minute Maid?)...
@Grumpy Gnome I don't tend to like using extant non-gaming settings for gaming. The factions are usually limited and the setting often has a completed arc that makes the game either feel poi...
On Grimdark, I feel like it works when the story is committed to it, such as the Vaults of Terra or Inquisition War series. It also works when used as satire, such as in the Ciaphas Cain book...
While I'm happy for the Oldhammer fans, this release doesn't do much for me. Not only do I prefer the more distinctive "squats" made by Wargames Atlantic and Mantic, but I wouldn't buy the GW...
I've got a few of the thinner water bottle lids, and when I get enough I'm going to try to make them into 'moon rover' tires.
I don't understand everyone asking for metal historical ranges to be made in multipart plastic *as a partnership with another manufacturer*. It's not like metal historical company owns the IP...
Those are almost adorable, like armies of Weebuls marching off to war. I imagine they make chittering little meepmeepmeep noises as they kill and die.
How do 2mm infantry work? I don't think I could tell the difference between a 2mm Napoleonic army and a strip of Velcro hooks painted Napoleonic clothing colors and dry brushed Napoleonic hat...
Something with a distinctive style, like Mierce, Wargods of Egyptus, or Tre Manor's Red Box minis, gets my vote. If you're going to make plastics for another company, go for something that sh...
15mm is closer to 1/100. 1/144 is closer to 10mm. 10mm is the scale of Adeptus Titanicus, Dropzone Commander, CAV, and at least one version of Battletech. 15mm seems to be the WW2...
I'd say Vanguard/Battlegroup Helios, but I'm a spaceship kind of a guy. And Dropfleet/zone does a good job filling my plastic spaceship tank needs. I can't support Victoria Miniatures...
And with some additional dollar store crap, voila! It's done.
Can anyone recommend to me some good resources for painting and weathering tanks? Also, how stowage has typically been applied? Thanks.
Here is my dollar store tank with some useful trash and about $3 worth of stowage. I'm not sure whether I want to add side sponsons or just finish the thing off. My family call it "th...
The ear looks different, and appears to be lower on the head. It looks like a werewolf from an 80's movie. Or like a White Lion of Chrace, with the pointed humanoid ears. the o...
The first few days of the campaign were plagued with problems. Hopefully a lot of the people who passed early on will take a second look in the last couple days and decide to pledge.
I find the Naiads go well as low budget Sci Fi aliens. I just snip the arms off the crossbows, and a bit of the tip. I tried using one of the arms, reversed and glued near the trigger, ...
Those Mantic plastic Naiads were first. As cool as those creepy things are, I think WGA would be missing a trick to release a box set of mermaids that didn't in some way resemble a pissed-off Arie...
