Are you a kind of necromancer or something?
IT'S ALIVE
Monk for my barons war outremer band. Just made up what's on the shield.
>>98108748Archeologist, actually.>>98108832Looking good!
Knight with a trumpet, heraldry of Richard the lionheart during the 3rd crusade.>>98108864Thanks
warlord games are starting to add 28mm crew to their tank kits, but the tanks themselves are still the old italeri kits..
>>98108877Different view.>>98108878Oof
>>98108878>oldNo bolt action plastic kit is older than 15 years, which is "recent" in scale modelling terms.Also not all those kits are made by italeri. In fact, the oldest kits were done by warlord (in conjunction with PSC) and are manufactured by renedra. Italeri was commissioned to make more kits at a later stage.
Glad to see the thread is back ladsWorking on some infantry for Grunwald. It's surprisingly difficult to find late 14th/ early 15th century stls, especially for 15mm
Best system to play Fallujah, Mugadeishu, Afganistan? Even better if it supports 15mm
>>98108567>TQI've been pretty consistantly drubbed recently, so I'm having to cast my mind back a bit, but I played a mirror match of SAGA, Irish against Irish. I managed to bait my opponent forward with a hail of sling stones, enabling me to get the first round of javelins thrown out. I got some good dice rolls and wiped a unit of warriors out pretty quickly, and then just kept the momentum going.Thanks for making a new thread OP, always nice to see the "Today in History" being done as well.>>98108832Looks really nice anon, I particularly like the freehand on the shield.>>98109085I've heard some good stuff about Force on Force and Ambush Alley, particularly for 15mm. I quite like Skirmish Sagin, but it's almost RPG esque in that you roll up all your soldiers, which is a massive faff for larger games or when you just want to get models down on the table.
>>98108878Its a completely new plastic kit to replace the old resin panzer 2.
>>98109065Can't you resize most stls?t. CluelessNice paint job!>>98109309Good Irish! What's next?
>>98109780Thanks!You can shrink them (the ones I posted were originally 30mm), but realistically proportioned models can end up quite fragile once downscaled. The tacking on the horses I printed are a particularly annoying, they break if you look at them funny."Native" 15mm models usually have bigger hands, equipment etc to compensate.
newfag here, where can I get maps on the scale of a Total War skirmish? For a few blobs to clash.
>Got some Warlord Japanese infantry to fight my US Muhreens.>Only have a surface level understanding of how the Japanese armed forces operated in WWII>Usually err on the side of historic composition rather than competitive edge.Are the Osprey books in the OP a good enough starting place to work on a platoon? I've had mixed results with them in the past as sources of specific information like squad composition.
>>98109085>>98109309I'm considering peter pig USMC minis since I would like to paint them with desert camo and use them mainly for insurgency games, and cold war gone hot as a second thought. The thing is the USA army, marines, rangers etc have a bazillion squad configurations. Any recomendatioms if I aim to use flames of war bases? 5 or 4 man medium bases and 3 to 1 man small bases.
>>98111097Additionally when did they stop using this uniform?
>>98111248Looks like a combination of PASGT with Alice rig which would have been used for quite a short period of time in the 80's, as the alice rig was phased out and replaced with the LBV-88 in the late 80's
I've got a fever and the only thing that can cure it is a 6mm Hind.My Heroics and Ros basket is waiting for payday.
>>98112114Based and correct.You're gonna love painting up those tiny helis
>>98112114Ebin>>98114373I remember when you originally shared these, what happened to the time...
Is there a good ruleset for doing Cold War era (WW2/modern is fine too) air engagements? Looking for a more military simulator one from a commander's perspective than mechwarrior in the air.
Thinking of starting Pillage as a first hwg. Probably gonna do Irish/Celts, and my buddy with Saxons. Anyone with experience in this game? Looks like fun.
>>98115764I'm also in the market for this. A more operational game, particularly I'm interested in SEAD, and the cat and mouse game between AGM and SAM. Ideally I'd like quite a bit of hidden information, dummy SAM sites and hidden deployment conditions type of stuff.The OP has a good amount of Aero stuff but not the game Missile Threat which was written by a /hwg/ regular. Go buy it if it seems up your alley.Also read this: https://armchairdragoons.com/airboss-minis/
>>98116046it's really cool and straightforward, makes lots of sense. remember that movement is i go u go, shooting i go u go and melee is simultaneous and player with initiative chooses which brawl goes first, which comes handy by the way to solve any type of 2 on 1 , 3 on 1 combat that might arise in case that single guy is still alive
WIP of some 15mm Germans, still have to varnish and finish the bases. I have a finished one in the background with the static grass applied but I'm started to think that static grass looks a bit bright (especially at 15mm)I found an old Flames of War starter set in my attic from years ago, I prefer skirmish scale games so ive individually based them with a plan to use them for Bolt Action or Chain of Command. >>98108895Love the minatures! I've been eyeing up the Barons war, looks like a fun game. Have you played it much?
>>98114373Sick. I am trying to find soviet STLs because although tanks are reasonable priced, their helis are a fiver a piece and don't even include rotors.
>>98116368Those look great, anonI've been thinking of doing similar with my FoW Vietnam. What size bases did you use?
>>98116288I’m actually surprised its not AA, being a skirmish game. But that doesn’t really bother me.
>>98116542Thanks! I used 15mm diameter (M5) steel washers, very cheap and magnetic
>>98116545yeah right? but no, It's move all , move all, shoot all , shoot all. Simultaneous Melee but in order chosen by player who won iniative
>>98116242Exactly. I want to do some Wild Weasel stuff.
>>98116647Thank you kindly for the information. I'll see how they turn out when I get the chance and maybe do similar for future 15mm projects as well.
>>98112114>>981143736mm Cold War gone hot is a truly goated scale.>>98111097Most of the games recommended up thread make more sense for single basing as they're individual model removal (befitting of NATO in the Sandbox). Can't be much help with multibasing systems for that period unfortunately.>>98110774They're fairly decent. Might be worth looking at the platoon compositions in the Far East chain of command books, they are generally very well researched.>>98110409Do you mean a flat terrain map? and at what scale would be the key question. I know that for 6mm games a friend of mine has had a good time with just printing out interesting areas off of Google Maps at A1 paper.
Nice to see the thread back and people remembering the joy of shared interests and good conversation. Long may it continue!
>>98114373Looking good, what's your base size for the MBTs? I'm assuming fine sand and static flock plus the occasional lump?
>>98116368>playOhohoHoHoHOHOHOHONo, I've just backed all the kickstarters and work on painting them. Check out the official Barons War FB group.
