To the anon who freaked out about my Indian bolt action troops: Because of you I decided to make my K47 Armoured Infantry be from the 7th Indian. >>96152369

Hope you enjoy that.

>>96152788
NTA, but there is nothing wrong with taking inspiration from the unlikeliest of places. As long as you enjoy the process, it serves itself.

>>96152875
Oh yeah, I actually read a few more ospreys to find stuff on the 7th Indian after he went nuts, was cool.

Next thing is some Sherman kangaroos because I want to experiment with true mechanized infantry for the late war.

For a warhammer fantasy player who wishes to get into ancient historicals, and wants specifically to use 28mm models for the enjoyment of painting and playing with them rather than smaller scales, would you recommend the actual warhammer ancient battles rules with individual basing, or accepting what seems to be the current fashion of sticking 4 models to a base and using a set of rules that has no casualty removal?

I LOVE ULTRA MODERN WARGAMING!!!!!


>>96152029 (OP)
>Mi-8 edition
I love Russian helicopters so much, I'm still searching on my quest to find a 1/48 scale Mi-8 or Mi-17 that doesn't cost a small fortune for my Ukraine project

>>96153698
Have you considered looking for a Hind? Probably more available than a Mi-8 and can be used as a troop transport as well.

Does anyone know if theres a scenario book for any ACW game that has a scenario for Bufords delaying action on the eve of Gettysburg? The game doesn't matter, just want ideas on how to make this scenario for Pickett's Charge

>>96155080
Idk

>>96155080

seems like it would be fairly simple do yourself? Have Buford's cav already deployed and units of Hill's corps deploy randomly or regularly scheduled. 6 or so turns to dislodge them before Reynold's Corps comes up.

If you want to go from the Confederate side encountering unknown resistance maybe a series of blinds or concealed jumping off points to probe the union lines

Hi anons, can any of you share the Hail Caesar Army Lists (Biblical to Early Medieval) pdf? Just checked the trove and there's only a scan of the 1st edition one

I am greatly enjoying Tobruk: Tank Battles in North Africa 1942

Finished these 28mm military order foot knights by Footsore Miniatures for Barons War: Outremer. Painted as templars.

>>96153207
I wouldn't recommend WAB. Otherwise, the best advice I can give is to just find a rule set you enjoy and go with what it does instead of trying to go about it the other way around.

>>96156293
Looking nice. Good job with the white.

>>96153698
This actually looks pretty fun.

>>96155423
I do have ideas on how I can do it myself, just wanna see what others might've done

>>96153207
Hail Caesar is the spiritual successor to Warmaster and use individual basing and casualty removal.

Are any of the WW1 Wargames good? I'd like to play one but ofcourse its difficult ot know where to start looking.

>>96157504
Hail Caesar doesn't use individual bases and doesn't have casualty removal...

>>96158041
I love Great Wars in the East quad by SPI games. But I also have a fascination with Austria-Hungary

>>96158183
Except it uses individual bases and if you want to note casualties by knocking off your minis or removing them it's your call. My guess is you got mixed up with Epic Hail Caesar maybe?

>>96159897
It really doesn't. Hail Ceasar is somewhat agnostic but usually it's 40x40 with four minis on a base.

>https://www.warlordgames.com/hail-caesar-base-sizes/

>>96160262
Wow look, your own link says you're wrong. Sorry I tought you were arguing in good Faith, didn't realize you had no idea what you were talking about.

>>96160413
Not sure why you're trying to bait us, this is a slow thread.

>>96160413
Try buying some of their minis before you talk out of your ass.

>>96155080
You have a scenario about Bufords'action in "Across A Deadly Field" scenario book: "The War in the East"

>>96160413
ESL spotted lmao

Anyone have any small niche or lesser known conflicts they have an interest in wargaming?
For me it's
>Sierra Leone Civil War, white mercs killing RUF
>Rhodesian Bush War
>Israel-Hamas in Gaza
>2nd Chechen War
It's kinda difficult to find models for a lot of these, strangely the Chechen War has the most support it seems.

>>96160784
Greek-Turkish war would be neat.
>It's kinda difficult to find models for a lot of these
Just play 15mm and you can wargame all the MENA conflicts. Khurasan has excellent minis for Hezbollah, Taliban, JIDF, Kurds, Turks and generic insurgents suitable for all the various Islamic and "secular" groups.

>>96160812
I don't want to play 15mm, it's too small for me I have a lot of 28mm terrain that I've spend a decade making and accumulatingz it would be useless for 15mm. I have a lot of interest in 20mm because I could use 1/72 vehicles, but they seem to not have a lot of options, which is why I stick to 28mm

>>96160784
I binged Yugo music videos, bit of a meme all in all but I enjoy the aesthetics.

>>96160835
Well Empress has modern figures in 28mm but no Jews.

Artizan makes these guys for the Arab Revolt, does anybody else make early 20th Century Arabs/North Africans?

My uncle knows I'm into historical wargaming so he left me a big box full of ... military maps from WW2, Vietnam and Desert Storm. Not exactly sure what I'd do with this that's wargaming related but I do do WW2 and Nam gaming. Any thoughts?

Use them for campaigns to tie your individual battles together.

>>96165636
Scan and Upload them

anyone have any experience with the WGA dark age kits?

their army builder box has caught my eye, just wondering what their other boxes are like and if any of you would recommend them having built them yourselves. I realise they look a bit simpler than the Victrix offerings, and I know that there are companies like Footsore who do amazing metal minis, but I'm on the lookout for plastic minis for ease of transportation/cost efficiency, and looking at using them for rank and flank rather than skirmish so the simpler poses suit that better than Victrix's.

>>96168273
They're fine, not really suitable for late Romans tho.

>>96168371
oh...that doesn't sound fine

>>96168273
Absolutely horrible quality compared to Victrix. Most Victrix ancients kits are made for rank and flank. Genuinely there is no reason I would ever buy WGA over Footsore and victrix

>>96168440
Victrix uses AI for their artworks.

>>96168497
No they don't. This thread isn't as retarded as /awg/ so don't start that shit here. They helped publish and distribute the English translation of a game made by a Frenchman who used AI to produce some background art for his game.

>>96125399
Of course it is. Can you not spot Hilter's Dog when it's standing right next to him?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbX3yWw74JY

>>96168539
Then my dumbass posts the wrong video of a nazi dog.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eQwAilMWtE

Captcha: GAYJJ

>>96168497
And?

>>96168497
Give me one example where Victrix used AI to produce their artwork.

>>96169363
They credit MidJourney for illustrations in Pillage.

I've been reading a bunch about the Great Northern War and I'm hankering to do some gaming with it, but I've never played anything in this era before. Would any anon know a good set of rules for early 1700s?

>>96169614
And? Victrix didn't make Pillage, so what is your point?

>>96169614
>Author: not Victrix
>Translator: not Victrix
>Photographer: not Victrix
>Illustrations: not Victrix
>Review: not Victrix
Why are you blaming Victrix exactly? Because they chose to sell it on their website?

>>96168407
They're better for the middle period but not really perfect for that era either. It's a bit odd that they made a kit that isn't perfect for any period.

>>96170243
>>96170285
i think theres definitely a point to be made that its not good that victrix supported the pillage guy using AI but my understanding is they probably didnt even know untill after they signed contracts, and even then using pillage as an example of "victrix using ai for their artworks" is beyond retarded and i think its just the local victrix hater

>Print spitfire to have one on the ground ready to take off, potentially as an objective
>because i print as single FDM piece, propeller comes out broken and wings are all scraggly
>No loss, crashed spitfire terrain piece now

>>96168273
some WGA kits are fine
their late roman kit is unfortunately literally one of their worst
really bad kit all around and has THE WORST loss of detail on a head ive ever seen >>96168440
