Took a very long time but I updated my blog, included a post on these guys here. https://ninety-nine-projects.blogspot.com/2022/07/turnip28-fodder-and-brutes-for-45th.html
Yeah, some simple medieval robbed figures would be great. Tho, do please make any iconography a separate bit, like crosses. It makes things easier for conversions. I would expand on the idea by sug...
I agree with @Grumpy Gnome it can be a nuisance unless the "special figure" simply uses a different head and/or arms. Like with the Halflings and Skeletons. I also find it a nuisance with smaller-s...
It has been said a couple of times that my hobby space is so tidy. But is it really? I decided to clean up my desk, and "install" another shelf (another offcut I had from my wargaming board). Do ne...
@Benjamin Hayward that was just after I installed the shelf. After that it become a mess 😂
I got a white paper as a background and take pictures with my phone. Use some settings to create more contrast, so the miniatures stand out. Here is the setup.
PMC takes the crown for me. Most versatile of all. And I agree with William, it would be nice to have both female and male mini's. Perhaps something like the Canon Fodder kits. Were arms and gear a...
@lauregami Looks like a nice hobby space. For my lighting I use a LED light that's like those older fluorescent tubes. Works great for me. I also upgraded my desk last week, when I bought a big she...
This is indeed a set I am looking forward to, really like the knightly helmet options. Hope to use them for Planet28 and kitbashing
I actually recently decided I would use Northstar figures as the foundation of my miniature collection for ICRPG (a great system for TTRPG’s), Xgrave and Rangers of Shadowdeep. Love Northstar...
Although the single character miniatures of GW are very expensive (and a lot of their stuff in general) there is a reason for that. How many people are going to buy that commissar? Only people that...
I find these modular DnD mini's far too expensive for what they offer. For the same money, you could buy a box of Frostgrave wizards and make up to 8 mages/sorcerers/warlocks and more. Or buy a cou...
First thing first, never played a wargame... yet... but what I am looking for in games is that they aren't overly complex, that is as close to 1:1 and have some story/aesthetic. I can forgo 1:1 wh...
Well, I am currently very interested in Pike and Shot warfare and they would certainly be great for an Conquistador themed Roguetrader Warband I am planning
If the latest comment is possible, it would be lovely.
Other than a magazine I got when I ordered some Stargrave mini's from a more local retailer, I have only read through two magazines. The Swollen Magglet for Turnip28 and the Mag28 magazines (Inq28,...
Considering the previous sneak peek showed us a broad collection of guns. My bet is on private military contractors. Such a kit will likely have some big potential, rather than sticking with a spec...
A pile of shame does not exist. All I see is a pile of potential! I am looking forward to getting my hands on the Conquistadors for a Rogue Trader project, once I get some other projects out of the...
@Daniel Broaddus Oops, forgot to reply. I used a spray can. Also finished painting the miniatures
@BS Kitbasher I imagine the Mamukill charging at the fields of Pelennor. (Lasercast, from whom the first two pictures come, is actually planning to create some large elephant/mammoth in the future)
@BS Kitbasher Ey, that's not a bad idea 😂 but yeah, people make them from matchsticks, cardboard, foam, greenstuff, resin, metal or 3D printed. It's not about the individual soldiers but about lar...
You could always use weapons from other kits to give your zombies. But I suppose it doesn't hurt to add some melee weapons or tools
6, 10 and 15mm are also used for infantry. Not many vehicles around between 3000 BC and 1900 AD. The great thing about smaller scales, particularly 6mm, is that they are easy and quick to paint and...
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 ...
@JTam Yeah I am. Yeah basically that stuff, just with some grit. The outline of the banners are from Max (the creator of Turnip), but the concept is my own. The central theme are rootbees and th...
@Kinjack Thank you! I heard that Sludge was inspired by Turnip but there are a couple of indie games that overlap in their aesthetics like Weald28 and Verrotwood. But yes miniature agnostic game s...
@JTam Thank you! The spackle is a flexible spackle filler with a texture effect. It's from Alabastine and comes in a tube. The Grogs will be painted dark blue with various patches of different blu...
Used the Prussian reserves to create two units of fodder (12 men in size each) for Turnip28 and as a bonus three units of Grogs/Brutes (six men each) using Victrix Middle Guard. Both are for my 45...
@JTam Thank you. I can at least attest that it's easier to have a dedicated desk for it rather than using the same desk where I do my homework and followed digital lectures (may or may not ...
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...
@H M True, I should have mentioned that. It could perhaps even be argued that the “seeds” of feudalism is older than the Late Roman period. With the patronus and cliens relations...
Excellent idea! Shields take up a lot of space and sometimes you are going to use different shields anyways. -Elongated heather shield/ flattop kiteshield The others I can think of have been ment...
Early 20th Century Japanese are being sculpted according to the release schedule
Oh yes, some pistols would be nice. Would also love some crossbows but those could easily be supplied from the conquistador kit.
@Yronimos Whateley Could you provide a bit more context as to where these native horses were or time period? It comes a bit out of the blue for me. I am not very familiar with Irish horses ...
@Yronimos Whateley @Yronimos Whateley Regarding mounted knights and trained infantry. The knight arose from the ritter, which was German cavalrymen that were the response agains...
TL: DR – Nothing really changed in my eyes… So I read the scientific article and haven't read any of the news articles on the subject. The paper studied 1964 horses from the Late Roma...
@Brian Van De Walker Using bolt action for sci-fi? Wouldn't have thought of that but you did give me an idea there. I think I am going to Crossfire instead. Planned to use it for the World A...
Perhaps something based on the flakvierling as a auto laser cannon, the Neblewerfer, a railgun 88 and a 20mm MG42
I am going to use the WA goblins as orcs for my Armies of Middle-Earth project (using Swordpoint rules). Absolutely love their style
They look great, planning on using these as levies for a Rohan army
@Yronimos Whateley That's quite an interesting idea, thank you!
Ah, the Bulldogs will be great for steampunk conversions as well I would suggest: Winged Hussars Samurai Zulu's Saxons Finish (Winter War) Two in one idea: An alien race from some...
Planning to take inspiration from this article for a Mordor army, they look amazing.
German Landsknecht Samurai Ashigaru I also quite like the suggestion for townsfolk and Hussars
Hello peeps, I began with wargaming at the end of the summer but I have been looking at the hobby for years now. Currently working on Cybergrave (Basically Stargrave but in a cyberpunk setting, got...
Those are some lovely halflings and a curious idea to use air balloons! Great scenery too. Is it the lighting or are some of the metals bronze?
