Interesting. Makes me think of the old paperhammer stuff. I'll have to see if I can dig up some of the old links.
@Red Bee I'd never heard of battle troops before. How many figs per side? EDIT: Corrected spelling error.
My expectation is that MBTs won't go away entirely. However I expect their role will change more towards support as they become platforms for anti-drone weaponry or even drone swarm deploymen...
@William Redford That is a great looking start to an army. I wish these kits had been around back when I played Warhammer Fantasy. And I should really finish up my current KoW projects ...
@JTam No green stuff involved. It was a green paper clip.😀
@Yronimos Whateley I agree with the suggested weapon selection. Javelins, crossbows, slings, potions/grenades, some sorcerous effects/equipment, trapmaking supplies, and a small number of spears a...
@Blutze I used that article as inspiration back when I used to DM. I destroyed a lvl 12 party with a dungeon of kobolds and their ambushes and traps. On two seperate occasions. T...
I've really enjoyed the Cannon Fodder kit. The thing is, I remove the bayonets and cut down the guns so they look more like pulse rifles instead of lasguns. The thing is, without bayone...
I meant to post this a week ago, but here's a little how to for the lid barrels BS Kitbasher and I mentioned earlier. For the folks who are relatively new, these things are awesome. The...
Khurasan Miniatures has some 28mm stuff that would be nice in plastic. I's also like to see some of their 15mm stuff upscaled.
Another piece of really useful trash is the plastic soft drink twist cap (and the ring that attaches it to the bottle): For starters the cap itself is a pretty decent container for mixing a quic...
@JTam Wow. Ridiculously cool concept. But did you look at the price? Ouch. The little foldaway station by itself was almost $600.
Seriously, has anyone figured out the hole in that shield? I noticed the hole was even mentioned in the On Table Top/Beast of War video that WGA posted on the main site. Is it just a failed attem...
To start here's a piece of scatter terrain for industrial/sci-fi gaming. PROJECT: Poo bag rolls ---> stack of pipes scatter terrain TIME: 10-20 minutes (depending on how long it takes the glue...
So over the years, I'm sure we've all discovered various tips and tricks to help out our hobby. I've found that sometimes stuff we would think of as trash is often incredibly useful. So...
@Slow Painter That is a CLEAN paint job - nice!
This is really cool. I wish I had something to contribute on this thread. I need to look up the museums around here. 🤔
@BS Kitbasher Thanks. Maybe I need to move the Eisenkern up my priority list.
@Lord Marcus How did you get the shoulder pads?
@Grumpy Gnome I initially had some hesitation about them, but when I got my hands on them in person I've really enjoyed the kit. There is actually definition for a vest sculpted into them.&nb...
@Grumpy Gnome No problem. Next, I'm trying to figure out a flame thrower for the cannon fodder.
Is it just me, or if you cut off the bayonet and tip of the barrel on the rifles it suddenly takes it from an Imperial Guard Lasgun vibe to a more Colonial Marines Pulse Rifle feel? I think I...
Oh, I also ended up with a box of Cannon Fodder and I have dived in. I will say, that skin tone paint looks much better on the tabletopthan it does in photos.
@Slow Painter Thanks for the compliment on the lizards. I really like your conversion as well. It fits really smoothly together. As to how I made the lizardman rocket launcher, I took ...
Someone asked elsewhare how I made my lizard man rocket launcher from the lizard man sprue, but it seemed more appropriate to make it's own topic instead of picture dumping on another thread. So i...
@JTam The toolbox with a lock was a godsend for the stuff (like hobby knives) that I absolutely could not risk the toddler getting a hold of and the stuff (like my hobby paints and nicer paint bru...
@JTam Heck yeah, I was thinking cyber eagle or wolf drones, but mutant animal head dresses would be awesome.
The military factions are good, but I think a faction or two that could pull on the cyberpunk/ganger/post-apocalyptic aesthetic would be warranted as well. It could take advantage of some of ...
Done with the time lizards. (I just went the easy route and textured/washed the base to look like concrete.) I even hit them with some matte varnish, and I'm normally way too lazy to do that....
@Chris Smith Right there with you. All my miniature paints are kept in a locked tool box to keep little hands out of them. My desk also folds down for space (and it makes a great space ...
@BS Kitbasher I honestly don't know. I just remembered stumbling across them a little while ago.
@William Redford Have you looked at the Axibalan Empire from the Shadow Sea game? They used to be done by Antimatter Games, but now the line is carried or distributed by Dark Sword Miniatures...
I get that the rules were kind of just a bonus for the diorama idea, but to me that would be kind of core to it. It's possible to make good and succint rules that would easily fit on a sheet ...
The French and Indian War (Seven Years War for our friends in Europe) would probably have more appeal universally. So would a dark ages kit. There's plenty of territory thoughout histor...
I think it's an interesting thought. The army builder boxes already have good looking figs coming in at around 60 cents each. You can get okay starter brushes for about 50 cents each.&n...
@Dalton McCormick Not bad at all. If you did want to bring out the detail on the faces, have you considered experimenting with a wash? From the picture, it doesn't look like you've use...
Wow. JTam's book collection is amazing, especially since it is so focused on its subject matter. Berggeit's setup is impressively efficient and organized. And Mr. Redford's space ...
@Bill Thomas That's pretty cool and has to be super cinematic.😀
What's the general time line for how long each part of the manufacturing process takes? I'm not looking for hard and fast time frames, just general ballpark estimates. For example: "Tooling ...
I checked the release schedule but I didn't see these on there. Any idea when these will be released? This is not an exageration, I would buy a minimum of two of those sprues right now becau...
I say keep the archers seperate. You can always put a few melee bits on the archer sprue for folks who will only want one box for skirmish scale games.
@Geoff Maybury I hadn't considered that. The problem is I've already glued these guys (lizards?) to their bases. I'll definitely have to remember that as an option in the future though. ...
My Time Lizards got a game in ... and the dice gods did not favor the grey plastic. Seriously, if I needed a five I would roll a four, if I needed a seven I would roll a six. It was so ...
So I had a little free time and went back to work on my Time Lizards for Star Breach. I'm not the best converter out there but what I do is at least functional. You can clearly tell the Clai...
@Sam Bellamy I like the plan. I'm really looking forward to seeing your progress. Also, the other stuff you have posted is really good looking.
@Geoff Maybury If you're talking about the old Wargames Factory line, Warlord is doing a limmited run under their Project Z. However, they seem to pricey for my taste.
