@JTam less sci-fi, less heroic-scale, and (potentially) less evil - though death cults and cannibal raiders are obviously a common trope. Consider a game like Zona Alfa - the gear is modern but mo...
I think there's a gap in the market for multi-part post-apocalyptic figures in a few flavours - call them Urban Decay, Atomic Wasteland and Nuclear Winter. Would be perfect for all manner of skirmi...
Couldn't particularly care about perfectly scale-matching GW stuff. Here's the whole gang - at least until the WW1 MG teams come out. 😅
Rifle section: Trench raiders: Special weapons detail:
Consider how the value proposition will differ across STL types. $5 might seem steep for a single character you'll print once or twice, but what about $5 for an infantryman you might print 20 or 10...
@Francisco Alonzo fantastic, thank you!
@William Redford thanks - I've enjoyed packing character into them. Luxury of a small "army"! @JTam Scope is either CF or the DF upgrade sprue, I don't remember. Yes, playing the new Kill Team. I...
Took me a while, but I finally have a tabletop-legal kill team complete:
I did some science and I reckon they're 28mm to the eyes, 32mm total, on 32mm bases.
It's not a full kit, but there's a monk on the Victrix Saxon Command sprue if you just wanted to build the one character. https://www.victrixlimited.com/en-au/products/late-saxons-anglo-danes
@Blutze halp indeed! I too hate integral bases. I've gone for the recessed base solution, though resin rather than WA's options as I prefer the Citadel-style tapered edges.
Appreciate the comments. Please do let me know @Grumpy Gnome if/when you put it together.
My secret is natural light. A crap old phone, a couple of hardbacks and an overcast day:
One grenadier. ...and two more sprues in the post. 😎 I asked in the WW2 forum, but does anyone have the Italian kit and would they be able to measure what size base I'd need for the MG ...
Looking at grabbing some Italians for a kitbash but wanting to keep my custom basing consistent in style - can anyone confirm what diameter I'd need to fit the gunner & tripod? Assuming the re...
@JTam yeah locally it's similar, and postage from the UK works out at the sprue level. US though, for whatever reason... 😬
@JTam nice - looks like the Krieg one but not mid-reload. Unfortunately I'm down the backside of the world so my bits selection is a bit limited without shipping getting unjustifiable. If I do go f...
Here's what I have to hand - Perry historic and WA WW1/2: I find Perry to generally be a touch slighter, with the feet particularly posed closer together, but not smaller per se.
There's a distinction to be drawn between heroes/characters and the command group fantasy games allow within regiments. I like how Perry do it - a standardised sprue for your rank and file, and a c...
@Geoff Maybury if WA sci-fi is too big modern-historics are probably your only option.
@JTam Catachan command - loose with no hand attached but I assume otherwise identical to other IG versions. @William Ings perfect, thanks, that's exactly what I was after! I ended up sawing down ...
I'm working on some more heavy support but finding GW weapons are a nudge too big - see grenadier below, a bit too front-heavy I think. So, scouting for other options - has anyone tried Einherja...
@JTam the mask is regular French with the helmet shaved off, the hat from the GW tank accessories sprue I think - I bought it as a single head off Ebay.
@Benjamin Hayward thanks! In person he looks a bit more like he set off a dye pack robbing a bank but I'm going to go back try to nail that white saturation for keeps. @Yronimos Whateley there's s...
No Grognards in sight! Going for a weird-war/post-apocalyptic vibe, low tech with a few jarring exceptions, so mostly Great War French with a few Death Fields bits and some choice GW parts. They'l...
Relevant to my interests. I'm not specifically aping Guard but couldn't resist a Commissar:
