I'm personally not looking for any. Already have a unit of 8 for my lizards and 10+5 in the dark elves. If that wasn't the case though: leave me alone with your sci-fi bits. It bothered me on the s...
What are you using for the window and door frames? Is that scratchbuilt too, or some commercial product? Also, what thickness are your shingles - paperblock backer, cereal packaging, or something i...
The first half of the kickstarter idea is sound. By making people actually pay instead of just vaguely saying "I might buy this", you get 100% reliable market data that eliminates risk for both sid...
Hard to go wrong with round bases with a bit of texture and small rocks. Disagree. Only markers and fanatics go on round bases, and premade terrain can get in the way of attaching the mini in ju...
If this is about that long mace in the foreground, I'm not sure there is enough room in it for a pinjob. Always an issue with skeletons. Acetate-based plastic glue is gonna be much stronger here th...
Ooooooh, I want those arms. Like, literally just the arms, piles of them, maybe with slight variations. Empty hands are so hard to find, even more so on left arms that don't just hang and swing whi...
There are a few bits of GW promo material that are worth talking about. They've been printing prototypes and models to be painted for box art since at least 2013, maybe even 2008. And on the 7th ed...
20mm square of course. Those are clearly free company (or Mordheim) alternative models! And I think RPGs are mostly played on grids, so base size doesn't matter as much. In fact, keeping your mons...
Huh, funny. The orcs have a banner, but no musician. The goblins are the other way around.
Just right on the width (at least on the widest spot), maybe a tiny bit spacious on the length. I think they don't taper all that much in width with normal poses, but the additional length should g...
I am not sure how that reflects the larger customer base though. Personally, I'm trying not to care. The painting backlog is big enough, only a few things are missing from the armies, and if it ...
The new art released today for an Empire archer looks a little less flamboyant and a touch more rustic like the WGA Halflings anyway. The 7th edition archers and 6th/Mordheim free company are ab...
If you are worried about a 50mm looking too empty, you can change how widely the legs are spread to a degree - compare that image with the goblin rider on the box for instance.. In fact, if you alt...
The biggest problem was that Dark Elf Swordsmen were about useless. Really? In 6th and 7th edition it is the other way around. These guys are supposed to not die, so the additional point of armo...
That is a loincloth, not a saddle blanket. And we've already had medium-sized infantry. Kroxigors proxygors? Hope they don't waste any sprue space on non-fantasy nonsense, I want some gear variety ...
Not for vampires, but for lycanthropes. And it isn't a timed transition, it is just three shape options - humanoid (or giant), hybrid (what you usually see in minis), and straight animal. One of th...
Given the particulary nature of Dark Elves' society That'll vary based on the setting. D&D drow are matriarchal, and also have highly genderized battlefield roles. Males train as warriors or...
Recently repaired some of my 5th edition elven steeds. Pin down the length of the tail, pour oodles of superglue into the body, slot in the tail and press the wire against the inside of the back. H...
@JTam I think there was an "aside from GW" implied in that post. Both for visual variety, and for financial reasons - the kit you linked for instance is more expensive than getting individual mini...
I have no idea what you think you are seeing. Helmets all over the globe and across millenia have been pointy, simply to deflect blows. GW's elven helmets do more than that though, they are excess...
They introduced Ogre kingdoms for WFB in either late 6th or early 7th edition IIRC 6th. One of those factions that didn't get an update in 7th at all. That earlier discussion was specifically ab...
Could still be four folios deep, with the chesticles being separate (to flatten the sprue). But at four bodies per body sprue, that'd be a bonkers strong <2.5€ per large-sized dude, and sti...
This one's getting kinda bloated. Maybe I should put the Empire stuff into a separate thread. Though they are still heavily involved in this interconnected mess, so they do kinda belong here... Ma...
Gotta go against the group here. As with the spiders and the lizardmen, I am bothered by sprue space being wasted on non-fantasy bits. Be it modern or sci-fi, I like to enjoy them (if I do in the f...
Of course, if you look back at the oldest Citadel Chaos Beatmen, they were all sorts of creatures. The Konrad series of novels even mentioned orcs as members of a chaos army. Really fun to see h...
@Mark Dewis Ugh. I need to work out what causes this. Maybe ones I upload at home vs work? Or phone vs PC? Pretty sure I told you before. The files on your google drive are not shared p...
Something that strikes me whenever I look at swarm minis on offer and compare them to what I need, is that apparently most fantasy wargames run them as a 40mm square base per "creature", whereas in...
Well we are talking rides. Heh. Actually... @Hudson Adams could you take care of that spam link further upthread? I guess we shouldn't have spammed it out so quickly, leaving it as the last post...
My hairbrush is falling apart. The tines have a significant flare before they touch the membrane, which works out pretty well for a blowpipe cone (and the rest turns into a wand for a wizard). Tof...
On the mournfangs: pdfs acquired. They are in 8th, at a minimum unit size of 2+. Brass puppies (both the old setup with bloodletter riders, and the new one with chaos knights) went up to 3+. Meanin...
Partially converted Red Martian for scale (from a Perry Zulu). If you use your gdrive for image hosting, you need to manually share the images in addition to posting the link. Pretty sure you ca...
White as in racially, is what he's trying to say I think. Ethnic russians vs the culturally rather different cossacks.
the dogs are very useful. First non-undead I ever finished painting. And uhm... I don't remember if the ghost dog or the skeleton rat (from the Kings of War skeleton sprue) was the first overall...
Heh. I like to joke that I'm playing with play-do when I do a greenstuff session. And I'm pretty certain that a significant portion of the buyers for this stuff are adults who actually want to play...
It's the Tiger King! That he may be, but a rakshasa he ain't. Gotta have the hands the wrong way around. At that price range, Dark Sword Armory has a ton of beastfolk adventurers. Otter clerics...
The thing with "monster mounts" like raptors is more that if they are useful as models in their own right, selling boxes of them on their own makes sense. This, plus swapping riders from one mou...
Are mournfang even actual Warhammer stuff? I should probably hunt down some more 8th edition pdfs, just for conversational reasons. And maybe for the crafting/painting sections. That one is sadly m...
Chuck Berry (Johnny B. Goode) With this one, like so many other covers, I prefer the version I got used to first. Judas Priest's, in this case. An exception are Knorkator's and JBO's covers, but...
Eh, there's already a bunch of offerings. Just look at the discussions around William's conquistador and landsknecht armies. It certainly makes DoW and Empire the cheapest factions to get started ...
Somehow I managed to avoid facebook even back when those things were called "social networks" instead of social media, and we didn't really know better. Now though, we do know, and I have every lit...
I don't see the hair as a problem at all. Mermaids have floating hair that is off the shoulders. Gorgons have non-napping snake hair. Oh, you're thinking underwater. I must have been...
Been a while since I read that one. And I'm pretty sure it was off my mother's boyfriend's shelves, so I don't actually have a copy floating around now... same with Schwejk I think. Shame, I probab...
She'd probably scale better with Games Workshop Empire My 7th (?) edition state troops are actually closer to the Perry and WGA boys than to the H&D Jeanne, though indeed somewhere inbetween...
I believe the base "dinosaurs" are Games Workshop "Cold Ones" (more or less Raptors) and this thing: Mostly. The red one with the elf knight is a 7th edition dark elf cold one, currently sold as...
Looks like halberds are a go. Hmm. How likely are drawn out fights in that edition? If most combats are decided in a single round, you might as well go for great weapons at the same price. You'l...
since it allows you to use your basing materia in a way that your mini truly sits on top of it Yeah, this is what caught my eye in this thread. Though I've always been a little intimidated by do...
Also, Filipino Pocahontas for the win! We hope Esteban de la Chin has more sense than his Americas-traveling cousin. For completeness' sake, here's the frogeaters' battle standard beare...
Dragging a captured weapon with a cavalry shako shoved jauntily on his helmet. That is so peak goblinoid. Plus, the skewed head isn't even out of place in a period look with how foppish some of ...
Your sculpting skills makes me jelly. Like, maybe I'm being held back by this strip having rotten away unseparated for over a decade, but I'm pretty certain I couldn't pull most of that off even wi...
Man, those screws... I guess paperclips don't cut it anymore at that size. 36 Ogres. These will be in units of 6. My first reaction to that was... don't maneaters take up additional s...
