>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.
The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre, let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

>Examples of games that qualify.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings,
Deadzone, Dropfleet and Dropzone Commander, Freebooter's Fate, Frostgrave, Gaslands, Judge Dredd, Kings of War,
Maelstrom's Edge, Malifaux, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Masters of the Universe: Battleground, Moonstone,
Oathmark, OnePageRules, RelicBlade, Rumbleslam, Stargrave, Sludge, Warcaster, Warmachine, Xenotactics...
...and anything else that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread.

>Examples of companies providing rules for alternative wargames.
Atomic Mass Games, Black Site Studios, CMON, Mantic, OnePageRules, Osprey, Para Bellum, TTCombat, Warlord Games...
...and many other publishers.

>Places to get minis; Updates to the minis list are welcome.

I like your comment. I am the one who was wondering. For me wizards are a unique or solo unit. So getting a box of 8 is a big amount of wizards.
Homestly i dont know the rules. So first i assumed it was to build a wizard unit, kinda like alow magic ranged group. Or to make different wizards that can show different gear setups.
But when he is your HQ unit with an apprentice, it kinda makes sense to have a 2 to 4 sprue for a good 2vs2 box. 8 is ver high.
>>
8 wizards is a lot for a box tbqh lads

Another box that's too big. Who the hell wants 20 Werewolves?!

They're like man-sized rather than 40mm base fillers like most Reaper Bones or whatever Werewolf are
>>
>8 wizards is alot
Not really. Your not just going to have roll with 1 warband when you play frostgrave, your probably going to have at least 3. Your also going to want your necromancer to look visually distinct from your sigilist and your going to want your demonolgist too look different from those two.
8 wizards is a great number for a box.
>>
>>94438239
Aye but even for all the customisation they all are readily identifiable as plastic Frostgrave wizards

Even if I was theoretically committing like you to three warbands I'd be looking elsewhere after the second pair of Spellcasters

Different wizards representing different arcane studied is ok and makes sense. So you mean 3 warbands as 3 group setups you can use for different stories or powers?
Than 8 make sense to give you the option to make at least 4 wizards with different visible magics.

I like them to be 8. i am eyeing to buy a box to use them for a wizard duel game and make them into different magic schools.
But an 8-pack for wizards is very rare or odd. So i asked if this was because of the rules. And it is partly because of the rules. Master and apprentice. So it is for players to be able to make 4 different themed warbands.
That this took over is because some were angered i questioned the pack size.

>>94438557
WGA doesn't have rules. They do have several lines that are implied to be for distinct games, but I'm pretty sure none of them have rules. They're a bit weird.

I gotta order a box of these. Werewolves are my favourite fantasy creature and these guys have the good 80-20 wolf to man split. Will most likely end up being used for Dredd games somehow.

The different head is a good idea. Sci-Fi bits sounds as a box of its own. But they come in 4 werwolves on one sprue, so you could offer a 16 pack or 12 pack with additional sci-fi or fantasy sprue to make them futuristic or archers.

The kit allows you to customize the bejeezus out of them.
It's still comparatively cheap compared to metal minis.
You prefer plastic over metal.
You need parts to kitbash so they fit into your existing warband.

There is a bazillion reasons why, but nobody need to justify it to you.

Mind Flayers. They hide from the light, are sadistic and cruel, enjoy torturing people, build slave camps everywhere, are into mind control and destryoing people's individuality before eating their brains completely and assimilating into a hive mind.

I have pondered the concept of a Kings of War meme army of just werewolves.

IM the one who responded "it's due to the game system", I actually assumed that the other anon thought that 8 was too SMALL of a number because he said
>"I guess the rules for them have a wizard attack unit?"
so that implied to me that he thought it was a formation based game like 40k where you move multiple models in a unit, and units of 10 are just more common broadly speaking across those systems then units of 8. I was actually trying to justify why it was smaller then average for a set rather than it being particularly large.

>>94438122
I really dont see how it is. This Minimum I would buy would be 4, which is what you can do if you buy a single sprew. Any less then that, then there is no reason to just by a single pre built non sprew model instead. 20 Werewolves at 28mm I agree is too much for most games however. Even for rank and flank games like aothmake/old world, you arent really going to have larger then human models in formations of 20.

His most esteemed barontessa of the north east corner, defender of the realm gourmand. Runs the bodega on fishmonger street. Has a castle out in the sticks he can't afford to live in, so sleeps on the floor of his shop which can only exist because technically this part of the street belongs to a horse that's been missing but NOT declared dead for four hundred years and the rent is just chucking some old apples over a wall and pretending the horse will eat them when he comes back. He has a monopoly on sticky bread every third Monday and the right to summarily execute anyone violating it that he personally witnesses. In the event of war with <not-prussia> he becomes a general of the lizardry and is expected to raise a thousand but the lizards went extinct and the castle just has a bunch of lizard themed horse gear and everyone just goes with it. He's innumerate, but has a pocket calculator worth more than his castle, but it doesn't always work and the locals know if you can get a price that ends in 3/32 of a pence you'll pay a silver less than you should.
During the month of Frumaire, he can declare the height of the tides. Everyone has to pretend he's correct, he can't actually change them. The captains guild make sure he's dead drunk the whole time to not cause trouble. He's been the king seven times, but never long enough the news has reached him before he's no longer king.

>>94439278
Outside of having a command roll like the rampant games or warmaster. No idea.
Never liked the idea that your turn ended when you fail them. I'd prefer if units did things on their own if the command roll failed.
>>
>>94439278
Something with an orders table, each turn for each unit, roll to see what they'd get a bonus for doing. Like retreat an extra 6", attack but only to the left, reform into a column and charge.
It would be pretty system dependent, but an army that has both you and your opponent yelling at them "just be normal!".

There is no MonPoc for them to sell off. Mythic is straight up gone, so no boardgame version period even license wise.

MonPoc, the wargame version, is completely unknown beyond SFG absolutely refusing to buy the license and being conspicuously missing from the liquidation mentions (so who knows if PP still has MonPoc or it was also liquidated.)

I learned of it too late to submit anything, but when I learned about WGA's one box game challenge, I had the idea of using that box to make a game about competing werewolf packs eating villagers.

>I like your comment. I am the one who was wondering. For me wizards are a unique or solo unit. So getting a box of 8 is a big amount of wizards.
>an 8-pack is very odd
The Frostgrave boxes are sort of put together assuming that you're going to do a group buy for 2-3 players and share the sprues. In addition, the "wizard" boxes are partly just "people in robes" and there are a whole bunch of pieces to make specialists like the Alchemist, Crow Master, or Pack Mule stuffed onto the sprue. Basically you should look at what's on the sprue, then look at the armory and the available warband members' descriptions before you assume it's meant to be 100% wizards. Same way the "knights" box is really more of a "Specialists" box.

I have to look into the kickstarter. But i thought it is only about the minis. Did they include to give the backers STLs?

>>94442524
Whats MMF? I never backed anything at kickstarter. But i thought when you give them money, you pay for the goal. So like any order or investment, you can sue them for compensation. Is it really similar to donations?
>>
>>94445374
Thats why i thought that they had in mind that youngetba two player option here. But i agreed with the anons that it is more to have different versions of wizards to have a variety for your warbands. When you want barbarians or occultists, youmhave a model,who,looks like fitting the theme.

I think its so you can make a wizard of each school, but that still leaves a lot of wizards in the box. I'd use them for jedi, post apoc raiders, cultists, mechanicus style cyborgs, etc. A really modular robed body is very, very useful for kitbashing.

Just a stereotypical lefty feminist.

The minis are fine and the alternate choices are too, just don't look at what she has to say on social media. She's a bit of a walking clichee.

Tangent Miniatures has managed it. You shall know them by these signs:
Heresy in leaving layer line slips in a metal master
Heresy in not cleaning off support scars upon the master
Heresy of mold line
Heresy of word and deed, especially of undercuts caused by using an UNCLEANED 3D printed master in a fucking spincasting machine.
Heresy of forgettng to put eyes on the gorram model
This fucking model, this "DentArthur Dent" as he is called, is the single most-fucked piece of lead, resin, siocast or tin I have ever placed blade upon. I play BattleTech. I know me a clapped-the-fuckout mold when I gaze upon its flthy progeny wallowing shamefully in blisters soaked yellow with their own piss. I can see the couple mold-lines of a recast from across half a show-room, and I know the distinctive stench of the mold release, cheap lead, and bismuth adulterants of a dozen casters.This is by far the biggest case of fucking the dog I have seen in a metal producer - and not the olny fuckup of its magnitude in their catalog.

Billhooks itself is perfectly fine as a B&P large skirmish/small battle medieval game.
Fantasia, on the other hand, is a crude attempt to slap fantasy elements over the top, and is painfully shallow and generic. It doesn't even have unique monsters for feths sake, just a generic "monster" unit and, iirc, 5 special rules/abilities you can buy to slap on top, one of which is quite literally "+1 wound". It has no spells, just a vague couple of "magic effects" that don't do much, and no rules for other fantastical elements like undead, animated statues, monstrous infantry, etc.
Oathmark actually has unique races, monsters, and pulls, with rules and statlines for all of them. It also has magic items. It's a better rule set for fantasy battles overall.

Fantasias "spells" are meant to represent fireballs and the like, try reading the rules your defending. Oathmarks "Harry Potter" spells are more Tolkien than Fantasias want, and the majority are useful utility magic. Again, read the rules.

There are a bunch of small companies that started that way. One particularly dedicated hobbyist commissions original sculpt for a pet project, has them cast up and sells the extra casting off.
Before you know it your hobby project turned into a small miniature range with a weird nieche and so on and so forth. White Knight miniatures started like that and The Dark Fable miniatures were basically Conan the Barbarian themed. After Dr Burns who owned Dark Fable passed away the range is now with Dragon Bait miniatures for anyone interested. And some of the White Knight range are now sold by The Assault Group

Unironically this. In Billhooks, for example, units can become disarrayed if they wheel more than 45° in a single action, which is realistically and balanced and adds actual tactics and maneuver

What about when they get shot with a hail of arrows? If they just start removing casualties your game is pretty lopsided

Lordy. I do home casting with DIY drop-cast molds, and I can manage better than this in my garage.

I ran MAC Attack this weekend. I liked it. It played quick for being our first game, and there are some fun combos to play with mechs and auxiliary units and the twenty or so hardware options. The weapon system is clever, if thin, but I felt like I could represent whatever Battletech stuff I had laying around pretty easily.

It’s been a good month for new games. I ran Hobgoblin, too, and really enjoyed it.

It's a simple replacement for allowing units to reform to the rear.
The actual "spin" your autistic ass is worried about requires a completely retarded setup with:
* zero pieces of terrain on the battlefield across a frontage of over a foot
* no units within five to seven inches of the wheeling one depending on the number of ranks involved and which corner the pivot comes off of. Not just side to side, but also forward of it.
* The unit being wheeled into must be offset at least 3-4 inches from the center of the wheeler, with said gap in terrrain/enemy units on its flank, while also opening up its own flank by turning towards the other side of the wheeling unit (or by stopping within 1.5 and 2.5 inches of the wheeler)
* the wheeling unit must pass an activation check, with full morale. If it fails the activation check it can't Maneuver at all, let alone enter combat to its rear

You literally have to set it up and be retarded for it to happen. While I realize you meet one of those two requirements abundantly, one rare edge case does not suddenly make a game into a completely different genre.
Fuck you. GB2 >>>/bridge/

Guy who got the Frostgrave knights and oathmark spearmen last thread. Just finished my first model (sans basing elements).
Mixed a frostgrave knight torso and arms with a head sculp from the oathmark spearmen so I can get a knight with a full helm (cause the frostgrave knights dont have one with a fully concealed head). I think it turned out well, will continue to make my warband. slow painter.

On a battlefeild level, missile weapons (pre linear warfare) almost never break formations by themselves outside of extenuating circumstance or when used in tandem with melee infantry/cavalry.
In terms of groups of people, not individuals, yes they tend to disrupt them, not kill the lot of them.

Thus why english archers where paired with heavy foot men at arms and mongol archers where paired with mongel lancers.

not interested in the rest of this gay argument but I'd like to point out warhammer shooting is more deadly than any medieval historicals I've played
>>
>>94456066
Patently false. All evidence points to English archers being the exact same thing as English infantrymen, and that they simply dropped their bows and picked up bills, axes, etc. when the time came. All records for the 100YW and WOTR only has archers and knights and occasional light cavalry and most modern historians believe the famous English "billman" is an invention of wargamers and reenactors
>>
>>94456108
Lol
>>
>>94456094
that's what he's saying yes
>>
>>94456108
wtf are you on about?
Yes the archers would often JOIN with the main body of infantry when the hand fighting commenced, but as support elements around the heavier men at arms, seargents, retainers, etc.
You know that a knight and a men at arms are often the same thing right? I just used the more generic term "man at arms" (which includes a veriety of more heavily armed ranks) instead of the more specific one at the time "knight".
>>
>>94456160
no it's not, read the reply chain you dunce
>>
>>94456174
Yes, the archers donned bills and JOINED the main body of men at arms. The archers did not join a body of billmen who were already fighting alongside the men at arms.
>>
>>94456227
>still gets his concept of what a man at arms is from warhammer
>>
>>94456177
Nta but maybe you should reread the reply chain. I'll decod it for you so it's easier for you to read.
>>arrows should be disruptive.
>>no, arrows are very deadly.
>>you must use warhammer as a reference then.
The before comment is where you jump in.
>nuh uh, I shoot things IRL with arrows.
>>
>>94456239
Where did I make any assertion of what a man at arms is, other than being the main heavily armored fighting force that the archers join with after donning bills? You have no real argument against what I'm saying so you're resorting to some retarded straw man. I bet you play Oathmark

People like you are increasingly tiresome. You know who you are.
>>
>>94456227
I didnt mention bills in specific. Just that the lighter archers would support the heavier main body melee troops.
The specific melee weapons involved changed from time and circumstance, and is less important then the tactical functionality of either heavier or lighter infantry.

Elementalist for frostgrave. This was my first time doing flames and I think of the three this came out the best. Not a big fan of the other colors but this is for a friend and he wanted them.
>>
>>94457478
Get some more shades and highlights on that red cloth. Too much of one colour. Actually with your other 2 as well maybe.

It's mainly the sculpts, but I reckon you could break up the colours a bit more. Maybe some sigils or lines along the edge of the demonologist's robe and sleeves. A transition of tones on the elementalist. The lich I think just needs way darker shadows in those folds. Also might need to bring the highlights on the demonologist back a bit. All that light grey/white makes it looks like he's wet, although that's a cool effect in itself.
>>
>>94457639
Also forgot to mention that the flames came out really nice. My first attempts at doing that were so poopy. I suck at blending.

Wargames Foundry sells Kevin Dallimore's book on that kind of black base followed by triads approach.
https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/painting-guide
Never seen scans of it but there are also a few small tutorials on that same page. .pdf related
Never been a huge fan as the miniatures have this kind of fondant icing look, but it is definitely Dallimore's thing.

GuP fellow here, today was a first test game with a friend instead of self-tests. This was a lot a fun, and also revealed my ruleset actually works: only minor edits like balance changes and rule commentary were needed aftermath.

Anyway, here's report. Pravda vs Kuromorime, Friendly format. We had only two actual models and stickers for every other tank. That's completely fixable as they're cheap as fuq.

First turn

First two activations. Pravda's IS-2 tries to roll nat 2 to hit Pz. IV behind a house. It rolls nat 99 instead and deals damage to itself. Crew disoriented. Match opened.

Third two activations. Kuromorime's Pz. V tries to hit BT-5 with 12% chance, rolls critical success. BT-5 loses turret.

Second turn

First two activations. Pravda's KV-2 rolls crit fail trying to hit enemy's Hetzer. Destroys its own turret instead. Pravda now effectively loses both tanks with characters.

Fourth-fifth activations. BT-5 goes on suicidal ramming attack against Hetzer, but getting shot by Pz. IV in a fatal way. First blood.

Third turn

First-second activations. Slaughter in the center of the field: T-34/85 breaks Hetzer's tracks, but got destroyed by Pz. IV.

Being de-facto destroyed, and because both players are tired, Pravda declares surrender.

Not that anon, but nah. The Frostgrave setting is really low armour, even the knight sprues. All the helm choices are open face. There's a couple of salet helm looking ones though. One fully open and one with the bottom half of the face showing.

>>94458933
