@Pierre Lerdou-UdoyI do get the idea that using the term vote is inheritely political and in essence it is here too. It made me pauze for a moment. In this sense Vox Populi is indeed a bit misleadi...
@GreenScorpion Your are ingenious by combing the Einherjar. @Rondaros A'terac those look amazing! Definently something to be said for larger bases.
They look amazing! The shadows in the white cloth are coinflip for me. They look still great.
From a business point of view I understand this system. You will learn which product is the safest bet to create/release. But I will not use it. If I am going to pay for Warring States infantry to ...
@Blutze Wasn't to worried about that, was more worried that 50mm was to small! But yeah, I do think they look best with a wider and lower profile. Thank you for the suggestion.
@JTam Bit late. Northstar Miniatures created all of the Stargrave, Forstgrave and Oarthmark plastics and metal miniatures (Rendra produces the frames, but Northstar creates figures and I think they...
@Mark Dewis thank you! Had hoped the large ones would fit a 50mm base, which I use for my large monsters. I am suprised the smaller ones will fit a 25mm base, I thought they would be larger.
I am planning to get the spiders sometimes soon and was wondering about what size of bases I should use for giant and the small spiders. Does anyone know?
@JTam I sure will but certainly wait until the models are up for pre-order.
@JTam I did consider getting the Feudal Japan one from Painting War a while ago. So good to know they are good books.
@JTam not only the long coat and the cuffs suggest it is a Grognard. Notice the pouch on the belt and the knee protection. Although they all (including the cuffs) look slightly different but that c...
You're a madlad. Good luck and be sure to keep us up too date. Are you only going to do the current available kit or wait for the army builder and the other kits too?
@Atlas Allen-Manning Great minds think alike ;) Nice miniatures but they don't really fit the style I am going for. @Steven StGeorges Nice 👌 @Mark Dewis That is possibility indeed, I do kee...
I wonder if a potential Light Infantry kit could be an army builder. With just options for spears and crossbows. With perhaps some Halberd heads on the sprues as well.
Ever seening the Warring States figurs announched, I thought about a Terracotta army (I assume I am not the only one). I really like Michael Sng's work so far and loved the videos his thinking proc...
The Perry yari come separate, on sprue, with their yari armed ashigaru and samurai so good chance that it's a particular mould and that they can be sold instead of the naginata. Alternatively, you...
I collect Northstar Plastic kits for DnD (and Frostgrave, Stargrave, Rangers of Shadow Deep and Oathmark) because of a variety of reasons and one of those is the high kitbash potential. One of my f...
Neat. Those mech's from Konflict 47? I assume the tank is a converted Sturmtiger? It looks great.
Great stuff. I see more potential miniatures for Middle-Earth. Hopefully these shield sprues will also be sold separately. Would love to use dark age rounds shields with my Oathmark miniatures.&nbs...
@William Redford Personally I love the Oathmark Human infantry. Virtually used all of the bodies now, so I am really tempted to acquire another box. Yeah, the heads are a bit big but love em anyway...
A kit with various swarm types (bugs, crows, bats) would be great. I would suggests to create four parts per "creature". A base (tree trunk, direction sign, a pillar or whatever). They could also b...
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 ...
