If this thread has inspired anyone to give The Silver Bayonet a go: Rule book for cheap.
Note: This is supposedly a bargain book: But when inspected the three "bargain" books I received last week, I couldn't find any marks on them and they appeared brand new. YMMV.
https://bookoutlet.com/products/9781472844859B/the-silver-bayonet-a-wargame-of-napoleonic-gothic-horror-the-silver-bayonet-bk-1 You can't beat that price. I paid just under three times as ...
@Geoff Maybury Hi Brother, when I said the MRAP was a boat I just meant it was f*ck huge. We had a hard time navigating mountain passes and lanes through villages in Afghanistan in una...
It would be something to see an MRAP next to a jeep. One is a house and the other you can throw in the bed of a full size pickup truck.
@Geoff Maybury That's an incredible story about your Father in WW2. Just a hard, slogging fight in Italy. Being able to restore a jeep together had to be an amazing experi...

@Daniel Broaddus Fully agree. The Mexican War is of particular interest to me as well. I posted some pics of the Fort Bliss Museum Mexican War Display here: https://wargamesatlantic...
@Steven StGeorges I agree, GW prices are insane. It's only the BIG box sets where the price per mini approaches anything like sanity. You have original unpainted Rogue Trader era Rhin...
@Vitor Soares I had completely forgotten about the Portuguese involvement in Africa. (Though I shouldn't have, I had a buddy who learned Portugese to go on mission in Mozambique). Fas...
@Daniel Broaddus The current issue (July 2022) issue of Wargames Illustrated has a nice primer on Napoleonic Warfare with a bit of history, sources of inspiration, and a bit about the variou...
Wargames Illustrated July 2022 edition discusses the box set: The fact that the military police forgets are seperate pieces gives incredible flexibility to the German sprues. Really well done ...
@Steven StGeorges I probably will be kicking myself later for not getting the giant Heresy box set. I could flip it in a year for good profit if nothing else. I might have...
@Vitor Soares That sounds awesome as well. Any particular region picked out as a setting yet? This thread may (or may not) be useful/of interest to you: https://wargamesatlantic.com/commun...
@William Redford I had to cut and paste that link. I was hoping for Cake's "(Going) The Distance." https://youtu.be/F_HoMkkRHv8
@Vitor Soares I've seen a lot of interest in kits for various tribes.

Thoughts on the French and Indian War as an alternate setting for Silver Bayonet: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/78358/french-and-indian-war
The French and Indian War is also an excellent alternate setting for "Silver Bayonet." Picture Daniel Day Lewis, COL Washington, and Robert Roger's fighting French Vampyre and Native Shapeshifters...
The French and Indian War saw the French and British battle for control of a continent from 1754 to 1763. Extraordinarily hard men fought in savage conditions. The wars...
Sigh.... Thanks to this thread I'm now getting Furry adverts.
@Ian It would be really nice to have the heads and hands/limbs available instead of having to have up perfectly good zombie minis.
@William Ings This novel is chock full of Silver Bayonet goodness: It's got everything you want: Russians, combat, vampires, frostbite, and a hooker with a heart of gold. ...
@Daniel Broaddus That could be a really cool setting. If you can lay hands on the old Warhammer Lustria supplement book it might be of use/inspiration to you. It has some ...
@Daniel Broaddus @William Ings I don't know if you saw this thread when it came out: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/61743/napoleon-era-weird-war It should be of inte...
Somehow this video is now appropriate to the thread: Hilarious
While we are talking about Accessory Sprues. It's been mentioned before, but a Zombie Conversion sprue with heads and arms/hands would be super useful for kit bashing zombies out of almost all the...
@William Ings I was also thinking of picking up a hollow book like this: In order to hold the warband and cards. Maybe put in dividers. Maybe line it with metal sheet for magn...
@Daniel Broaddus Others have talked about a WGA Zombie conversion sprue. (Zombie heads and arms/hands). Sure would be convenient to bash some Rifleman or Prussians with. Have you foun...
My British Silver Bayonet project: At left, a Warlord British Napoleonic cavalry sprue that came free with a Wargames Illustrated. On the far right is another free sprue of later per...
This weapon looks good: It has some design cues from Starship Troopers: Ilysian pattern lasguns: And Aliens: It's a nice stand in for any of those settings. Frankly WGA h...
@Daniel Broaddus I also picked up a WGA Goblin and Rifleman sprue to kitbash into Silver Bayonet Goblins. I'm picturing some of the goblins wearing shakos and carrying captured bayo...
@William Redford Honestly I don't own that set. I'm putting together an Eastern Front WW2 Italian Army..... but the WGA WW2 Italian helmets don't look anything like WW2 Italian h...

@William Ings I've been meaning to pick up these (for the same reason): Cards
Pseudo Death Dealers could also be handy for Necromunda. Like these nice miniatures from Heresy: I was going to use them as counts as Delaques..... But the flavor/loadout/weapons of ...
The WW2 Italian Infantry is another box that features a more or less accessory/command sprue. Again, it's the regular price, and again it seems value added.
@BS Kitbasher I too took the flash sale of the Accessory Sprue as a bad sign. But I think the separate Accesory Sprue is a great concept. That particular sci-fi sprue is j...
@Geoff Maybury Big Thanks Brother! I'll pass it on to Sweet Girl :)

Hasselfree Miniatures has some nice models ready to go to supplement this kit: Or maybe you're ready to fly the friendly skies?
Another odd barrel shape: And this is a conventional barrel, but it presents a rectangle front appearance:

I don't hate this idea at all.
The Conquistador box pretty much has a half sprue accessory sprue in it, and that box is priced at the regular 35 dollars. I'm hoping that's WGA's more or less new standard. It certainl...
@Joe Menz Nice link. Thanks.
Looking at how squat the spikey "Rebels" are.... these must be Halfling Traitor Guard. What Chaos god would Halflings most likely succumb too? Khorne? .... Probably not. Nurgle? .......
