@Blutze While 3d printing is far from being perfect, if user printers are able to produce resin miniatures without visible lines (the lines are always there, but if you zoom in enough on any surfa...
@Grumpy Gnome I stand corrected then, I really had the impression they were still working with someone else on the production. @Hudson Adams Thanks for clarifying that point. That mean...
@Grumpy Gnome Unless they suddenly bought a factory for themselves which was never evident from previous news articles (it was mentioned that the company behind the factory they were using in...
@Charles Tottington While 3d printing is hobby on its own, I don't think it is entirely to blame for this situation. But I do understand most of your frustration. The only games situation is unfor...
Another week, another batch of Raumjagers finished. Only one more to paint and I will have finished my current Raumjagers batches. These 24 miniatures bring the current total for January to 92 pai...
The small ones can easily fit on a 25mm base or something bigger, depending on how you base things, the larger ones as mentioned need something bigger. I have mine on 55mm bases and depending on t...
It is also good to keep in mind that if Royal Mail is currently not receiving any new parcels due to this issue, other courier services might experience delays due to the shift of parcels from Roya...
It has certainly been a while since I last posted something in this thread, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working on miniatures, although I have been investing a lot of time on the translati...
One thing that I like about the stargrave/frostgrave kits is how they have female variants of some stuff but they don't force excessive female traits into the bodies/armour. For example, the Starg...
The preview is up for the ogres:https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/landsknecht-ogres-preview The Death Field weapons are more modern than sci-fi which is a shame, but at least they are not ...
@William Redford On the ogres I am still waiting to see what comes out in terms of final parts, since things have often changed during the process. There are several options for bodies out th...
@William Redford I recall there had been some changes to the offer in that kickstarter, but I hadn't realized that it was such a big change. You seem to have several interesting projects goi...
@William Redford The bodies seem really nice, but if the arms are similar to the fauns and centaurs then I guess thin and fragile would be the best way to describe them. Those amazons d...
@Grumpy Gnome Indeed I think that for things that need to be reassembled often other materials are better, like the core space cardboard terrain you mentioned (despite not being perfect). Still the...
@JTam The mechs are Mantic's Striders ( https://www.manticgames.com/games/deadzone/enforcer-strider/ ) and they are reasonably priced mechs/walkers. The smashed cockpit on the left in that picture...
@JTam I know, they are quite nice sets and are extremely modular.I bought the military compound and built a few fortifications some time ago: They look nice for fortifications due to the ...
@Grumpy Gnome I know things get way more expensive with Archon in retail, but in my personal case anything that is exclusively purchased by debit/credit card is an issue (my bank requires in-app va...
I think the major issue with Archon is that they are still not really a company with a retail side, with almost everything they sell being available as pledge manager rather than a normal store, so...
Today I come bringing some news on the painting and terrain crafting fronts.I have managed to paint a batch of 30 WW1 germans I am using to represent a trench warfare regiment and while they would ...
@Stephen Sutton For general purpose infantry heroic scale can look strange, but for bulky armour I think many heroic models end up looking the part and that is mostly my personal justification for ...
@Stephen Sutton @JTam @John Wilson :I know the current Eisenkerns would represent heavier infantry, but the mention of raumjagers was mostly because their chest armour makes them look ...
I have trying to model an army based on some sci-fi stories that I have written over the years and one of the groups consists of heavy infantry with full protective armour surrounding their bodies....
Another week passes and more progress is available to show.This week I worked on building some more conversions based on grognard parts, mostly using kneeling poses and special weapons, since I spe...
This week I finished 2 more HWT squads from spare cadian HWT and grognard bits. I also finished building a sprue of Stargrave Troopers (5 soldiers).The troopers are really nice miniatures, som...
Last week I finished building 2 squads of heavy weapon teams based on spare cadian weapons/arms and grognard parts. I also finished painting some mantic plague zombies and larger monsters ...
@William Redford According to the comments (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shieldwolf/war-is-coming-reinforcements/comments) Shieldwolf is relaunching in September, so it might be that those ...
This weekend I finished building the third and last group of command and heavy weapon teams from the grognards box. The end result is similar to the other two batches, but with different weapons, p...
This week I have been continuing to work on conversions. To spend some of the spare marauder shoulder pads and giant spider arms, I decided to make some sort of alien robots on wheels. No name for...
Another week passes and more progress is ready to be shown ☺️This time I finished painting another batch of miniatures, some marauders for my Berserkers of Lobivret. I will start on another batch o...
Yesterday I finished building some heavy weapons and command groups based on the grognards command and heavy weapons box.I made moulds of some of the parts to help me with building the full content...
Today I managed to finish painting another batch of miniatures, this time a group of dwarves mounted on giant spiders and their dwarvish infantry support.The high temperatures and the fires in the ...
I got my order of stargrave and frostgrave boxes delivered yesterday and I have to say the details of the minis are great and the kits seem to have a large amount of options. I had seen people in o...
@lauregami It is often hard to understand whether something we are building is going to look nice or not until it is finished and it can often be demoralizing, but the important thing is to k...
@Steven StGeorges Thanks!Although I have never seen the old beastmen "auxiliaries" in person, I have seen many pictures of models of "ancient times" and even some rules for them. My gors have ...
On an unrelated subject to the latest posts, today I finished painting some gors which I am using to represent the tougher fauns from my books, with the fauns from RGD as the more typical and less ...
@Steven StGeorges Thanks for the suggestions. I am mostly looking for plastic or resin rather than metal not because of the price (although cost is always a factor) but because metal is signif...
Portugal still had a massive set of colonies during WW1, what happened to the Portuguese in this setting?The country might not have a huge military but it still took part in the war.
@Grumpy Gnome I was thinking about using the Gnolls as a base for another race that I didn't mention in the other post which are wolf like aliens. Although they are not as wolf like in looks a...
@Grumpy Gnome Thanks, the Boromites seem like a good option for the Rocervars, need to check if I can find those on a retailer "locally" (as in a relatively close online store). The fact that ...
As I have mentioned before the majority of the minis in this thread are inspired by the books I have been writing (or inspired characters in the books). I have many factions in the books that I wou...
It seems I have not shared yet some of my afghans, which I am using to represent the soldiers of Harpig from my own setting, so now it is time to correct that lapse.< This is the last batch of ...
@Steven StGeorges Thanks! I am thinking about using sprues for larger ladders in bigger buildings I have been planning to do. I plan to use as much of the sprues as I can, after I empty all of...
@Steven StGeorges It is a pity but it just means I get to spend that money on other companies that produce miniatures like Wargames Atlantic, Perry Miniatures, Mantic and so on. In an...
@William Redford Given that the male box is 6 sprues with 5 bodies for a total of 30 miniatures, my guess is that females would be 5 sprues of 6 bodies which would also be 30. Otherwise I woul...
@William Redford There are 6 bodies for female cannon fodder according to this: Making hair out of green stuff can be easy or complicated depending on the intended result. It is hard to ph...
@Steven StGeorges The miniature collections are nice, specially for those who don't own those models or are starting up, but in most cases it is not worth the hassle. They did biweekly in Port...
@Steven StGeorges I also prefer the plague versions of the models, they give a more raider/pirates look and that is a good thing for me. The plague zombies are also a nice kit, despite some ...
@Steven StGeorges Mantic's stuff is nice, my only issue with their models is somethings have lower quality than others, but overall they have relatively cheap stuff that fits the sci-fi settin...
While recovering from a cold, I managed to finish another batch of 5 cult insurrection based conversions. Some of these are meant to represent mutants that worked in the mines, while others represe...
I had hoped to have a batch of 5 bulkier troops done this weekend with the larger torso copies based on the torso I sculpted, but I got sick earlier this week and I am still in the recovery phase, ...
