@JTam pretty much. yes the different AK generations have distinctive features IRL. but by the time you shrink them down to 28mm semi-heroic scale, most of those differences vanish or become minor s...

Sneak Peek: What's Behind the Curtain?posted in General Chatter

@Caratacus based on those minis, i'd describe their equiment as "Protoss meets Vorlon"

Alwyd, the world of the Quar has a number of factions. Which do you prefer?posted in Quar!
i don't really have a quar project in mind, though making a Xenos Rampant army might be fun. but for me, the choice would be less about the lore (which is on those webpages), and more about v...

I tried digitally kitbashing the rebel yellposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!

Scale of a Death Fields gameposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!

Suggestions For New Soviet Kitsposted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945
T-26's would also be super useful for Finnish troop kits.. they were the main tank the soviets used in the winter war, and finland captured a fair number of them over the course of it. and during t...

Spanish Civil Warposted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945
@Grumpy Gnome the key thing with nazi's and their ilk is to get across how wrong their ideas are and to make them look bad. Brooks's method works well for comedy and less serious works. i per...

Teaser for Tuesday...posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
they look like grenades of some kind. shape is right for smoke grenades, but they could be scifi explosive or 'energy' grenades.

Teaser for Tuesday...posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
i think that regardless of the lore they use, i'll probably get at least a box of these. they should make good star wars like Rebellion trooper figures, if you mix in some alien heads from stargrave

Marian Late Republican Romans / Augustinian Imperial Romans?posted in First Empires: From the Rise of Akkadia to the Fall of Alexander

Cannon Fodder III?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!

Cannon Fodder III?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
eh.. ideally you'd want to get as close to 1/2 the size of a normal box as possible. i would argue 11 figures is viable, especially when you consider the added customization sprue. 5 men and 6 wo...

@Brian Van De Walker that is actually why i say the closer you can get to $15 the better. resellers always mark up their sprues, and if you want the product to be more attractive than just buying f...

Is the time right for 'Not-Numenoreans"?posted in Classic Fantasy
having some sort of 'high fantasy Men at Arms" would be neat, and if they are designed so they could be used as numenoreans, great. but make them general enough so they could be Atlanteans, or Valy...

Is the time right for 'Not-Numenoreans"?posted in Classic Fantasy

WGA Plastic Terrain?posted in General Chatter

Would you want 'generic' 28mm dinosaurs?posted in Classic Fantasy
