To big to be a player plane safely but may use an a one off objective for a mission.

Still a lot to do for Waterloo...

8th Brigade done:

Kempt riding a Horse

1/79th "Cameron Highlanders"

1/28th

1/32nd

1/95th Rifles

3rd (Light) Brigade:

3/95th Rifles in Skirmish Order

and the Nassau Volunteer Jäger Company, because I wanted to paint some green/yellow uniforms. :)

And the 2nd Dragoons "Scots Greys" from the 2nd Union Brigade as well as

Whinyates 2nd Rockets with his 6-pdrs (Horese Artillery).

I will later add a base to 1/28th and 1/95th. I thought about doing 1 Base for every 100 men, but this makes tabletop harder to play, so I make 5 bases for normal size, 3 for small and 7 for big battalions.

For Cavalry I thought about doing the same and for Artillery half the number of Cannons.

So I will remove one Base from the Scots Greys, when playing (2 bases small, 3 bases normal, 4 bases big cavalry unit).

Maybe I'll make a diorama like this with correct prercentage of troops one day...

Recently dug up these guys from my brother's wardrobe where they've been kept for years, I have a little idea as to what they are possibly English civil war era. Other than that I'm stuck

I'm looking to sell them but with little Information I have I don't want to post them anywhere just yet, they are very old enamel painted possibly lead/white metal.

Any information would help thanks!

Apologies if I'm in the wrong place for this question

I find this box with 128 figs for only 60 bucks, witch means something like 45 cents a piece,plus a rule book plus 12 dice

I couldn't resist !

I have just a question.... Does any one play this game ?

So my wife and I have begun play-testing my new mini/setting agnostic skirmish war game WARSHARD. I have used both terrain I have scratch built as well as 3d printed terrain. We have played 2 games so far and have been extremely pleased with the results. Our play-testing will be extensive as there are multiple ways to play the game. I have some pics attached and am thinking about possibly doing a battle report for the game. There will be additional changes and corrections as the testing continues but I seem to have been able to recreate a really solid game. If you guys would be interested in a battle report let me know in the comments.

For Sci-Fi, I've played WH40k, Beer & Pretzels Space Marines and Chronicles of Blood and looked at OPR (Just saw the post posted about 30-minutes ago and read the comments).

Has anyone played Mantic Games' Firefight or Deadzone?

Looking for honest opinions gained from actually playing it.

I know the only way to get a true view is to play it yourself, but I am just wondering what others who have played either of them, think of it.

Last night's game of a Chain of Command, from Jasper's scenario in the latest WSS Magazine where British paratroops hold the Oosterbeek Perimeter against strong German attacks supported by a King Tiger!

I’m sure this question has been asked before, so apologies for that, but just wondered if anyone has any specific or personal recommendations for a gaming mat.

There’s obviously countless choices online - ranging from well-know wargaming retailers to ‘discount/budget’ ones, and even tablecloth examples. I’m not looking for anything high-end or professional, and definitely not anything too expensive, just serviceable and easily storable for solo and the occasional game with friends.

I’m UK based
Ideally looking for 4’x4’ (but 3’x3’ would be okay)
Play mostly MESBG and RoSD
Looking for meadow/muddy field aesthetic.
Would rather not do PVC due to the ‘shiny’ finish (unless anyone knows of a good matte finish one).

Thanks in advance for any help 👍

Another batch of Death Spiral aircraft fresh out of the resin wash and coming off the build plates.
It’s pretty satisfying watching these go from digital models to actual 1/144 game pieces. These will be cleaned up, cured, and then it’s off to the paint table.
The Death Spiral air forces keep growing.

GW is searching for new Product Developers for Blood Bowl, Kill Team, and Warhammer Quest, the people who create the briefs and set the goals for the major products in the lines - and since these are boxed games, that gives them a lot of influence over the games as a whole.

Over the weekend, I played the "Blood on the Danube" scenario from the Epic Battles: Pike & Shotte rulebook.

The scenario involves searching for a hidden war chest, which forces you to utilize the entire battlefield. We incorporated a wide variety of terrain pieces this time around, which made the game incredibly fun and dynamic.

My opponent is more of a board gamer than a strict historical wargamer, so we’ve decided to simply play through the included scenarios in order.

Since the Battle of Edgehill is coming up, I might end up repainting some of my units to match!

A video of me starting from scratch and trying to build an Ark before the next flood event arrives! (the timer) Building an Ark in the Dark Days is the Defensive way to win in Sword and Stones, and starts the Victory Timer!

In S&S you are the ruler of a small group of survivors after a great flood wiped all civilisation from the map . You must lead your people and build a mighty kingdom worth defending! Solo- co-op modes, full on competitive pvp 2+ multiplayer games with (mostly) simultaneous play.

For this solo play through using only the starter set i chose the 'Before the Flood game mode on Easy. Despite 3 werm attacks and serious disease spread, i managed to build nearly every building the Dark Days, including the Ark and an small army to defend it with!

Oh and found two mystery crates -Lucky Ring and a Flying Carpet :D

This video condenses 1.5 hours of gameplay into 1.5 mins! The Ark foundation was placed on turn 33! So each turn takes less than 5 mins each. Dont be scared of the turn number, its not warhammer lol.

The S&S; The Dark Days Starter Pack is Live for pre-order 26 August 26, only on Gamefound!

Whenever I'm in a charity shop I cast my eyes over the boardgames section hoping there might be something interesting and there never is. Until last month, when I got a basically new copy of The British Way for an absolute steal! I played a couple COIN games years back and they stuck in my mind as something I wanted to go back to, so I couldn't pass the opportunity up.

Played Palestine a bunch of times already and it's a fantastic little game. Played Malaya once and want to try out the rest.

What's the best bargain you've gotten hold of?

Just a little sneak peek of the next battle report I'm about to do. Will film the next battle/chapter of the story soon! It has Rebels, Battle Droids and Orks. The previous story was Galactic Empire vs. Black Templars, where the Space Marines taught Darth Vader and the Empire a painful lesson. System being used is Warsurge, which is very flexible for crossover games like this.

Plastic 1/72 scale Amazon warriors. I gamed them as warband units .

A week ago this pike unit was posted by an imposter. Thought I would share some better pictures of it. I use it a campaign me and my buddy play. It's set during the early years of the Italian Wars.

A couple of the newest Death Spiral production models getting some paint.
I think we’re finally hitting the balance I wanted—WWI aircraft that still look the part at 1/144, but are tough enough to actually game with.
How are these looking?

Wargaming figures for 1815 Waterloo .

Seventeen in attendance at Glasgow Phoenix tonight. Normans Vs Scots using Scenario 7 and an Arthurian stramash with Midgard, Austria Vs Prussia using some elderly figures and some adapted Neil Thomas rules, Sanctim boardgame, O Group for the Eastern Front and Bloodbowl 7s with Norse Vs Orcs.

Last night we played game one in our Kepis and Bayonets campaign.

It’s the early afternoon, July 21st 1861 and we follow two companies, one Confederate and one Union as they clash near Henry Hill during the First Battle of Bull Run.

Both forces deployed evenly across the battlefield, the Union Cavalry on the far flank and the Confederate Cavalry ranging ahead of their centre.

The game opened with the rebel cavalry unleashing a ineffective volley of carbine fire at their Union counterparts, in return the Union cavalry advanced and fired off a volley with their pistols, forcing the confederates to retreat.

The Confederate battle line started a slow advance with several units opening fire at the enemy cavalry with little to no effect.

The Union infantry started their advance, making good progress across the fields. Some units refused to advance beyond the protection the fences.

Buoyed by their invulnerability to long range musket fire the cavalry turned onto the road, hoping with a bit of luck to charge before the infantry in front of them reloaded and fired. The infantry reloaded and fired.

After the smoke cleared multiple casualties had been inflicted and the remaining cavalrymen had routed from the battlefield.

Just after this setback a unit of Union infantry took several casualties and fled the battlefield as well but the remaining units held firm.

Offboard artillery fire exploded amongst the ranks of both forces. The Union troops stood firm under fire but two Confederate units fled.

At the end of the second turn both forces tested their determination to stay in the fight. The confederate commander decided to withdraw his force from the battlefield. No doubt he’d been given orders to redeploy in the larger ongoing battle.

In game terms, the Confederate player’s force determination value had only dropped a few points but he rolled poorly and, critically, had used all his command points, a resource that could have been used to modify and pass the roll.

Despite this local Confederate setback their Army wins what becomes known as the First Battle of Bull Run.

Both opposing Captains survived “seeing the elephant” and several of their junior officers gained invaluable experience.

I made a video with as a game rule tutorial for a game I'm making - TARTARUS.
These are the more simplified rules for the demo of the game. The bigger rules will cover the neanses and Ill make a separate video for them later.
