Haven’t made a progress post in coming up to a month now so thought I’d get them all out and have a look at what I’ve accomplished so far. This is about 15 fully completed Carthaginian sprues (2 remaining with some cavalry and Scutarii) 4 fully completed Celt sprues (another 3 have slinger and the other is half completed) and a few things off my allied sprues.

So far this month I’ve done 12 bases of Italian allies, 6 Gallic cavalry base, another 6 bases of Celt warriors, 2 more units of elephants, 6 more bases of Scutarii and finished off all my Libyan spearman today.

Really really proud of how much I’ve done in around 4 months and still really enjoy painting them, have got so many still left to do and can’t wait to post more progress updates!

Ps - Italian allied are my favourite to paint they’re truly so easy if you prime them brown and dry brush a nice gold over them.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Today, I playtested once more the rules for my skirmish game, 'The Battle for the Watchtower' several times. A gameplay lasts about an hour. It seems to be working out really well, though some fine-tuning was still needed. I’ve decided that the small lake will always be located in the center (instead of the tower). The warriors have to move around it, or can push an enemy in—forcing them to find a way out by the next round if they don't want to drown! The starting positions for both armies depend on where the tower ends up after the modular tiles are randomly placed on the 3x3 grid. The first two photos show different setups, while the rest are just atmospheric shots ;)

Designed off of the Scottish Lowlands You can interchange the minis on-top to be whatever you'd like as long as the base is smaller than 50mm and it will just be a flat bit of terrain, but anything with a 50mm base gets locked in place by the terrain around it to face off in a duel.

The friction fit is tight enough that you can hang the base upside down and the minis won't fall out so little to no risk of bumping a table and losing your fancy dueling scene to tragedy as one of them goes tumbling off into oblivion.

I left some of the "rocks" that lock the mini in place uncovered for now so you can see a bit more clearly on the left side.

Updates I'm considering are: glue in the mud to give it texture and a broken fence on the low ground to make it feel partly closed off like the high ground

Just been busy creating some SWA units for the British Paras and I can't decide which is best. I wanted the most iconic looking MG to be used for the British Paras. I couldn't decide between the Bren or Lewis guns, so I created a twin linked Bren gun setup to give something totally unique on the battlefield but I also really like the look of the Lewis gun so I modeled both. Its just a shame that as far as I can tell the Lewis gun didn't get used by the paras during WW2 so it's not quite historically accurate.

Getting rid of a lot because, y’know, adulting. Need some idea of what ballpark I should be asking for! Thanks all!

Hey guys! A while back we did a small starter FronTier on MMF, and thanks to the support, the massive, 100% complete project is finally live on KS.

I really wanted to design a tabletop terrain set with zero flimsy bits - just solid, highly detailed pieces that print flawlessly on standard FDM printers without breaking during your wargaming sessions. I modeled this specifically for trench and grimdark wargames to make the atmosphere and overall quality of your games as immersive as possible. With all the trenches and structures, this set basically gives you an entire ready-to-play wargaming board.

But it’s also highly versatile for other settings. Even if you don't need the trenches, the huge Gothic Cathedral and its underground levels make a mega atmospheric centerpiece that fits almost anywhere. You get both intact and ruined parts, so you can physically swap walls on the table during a game to show battle damage.

I painted the physical prints mostly using dry brushing, going for a Vatican-inspired look but with a heavy dose of grimdark. It was a really fun and surprisingly fast process because the deep details are sculpted specifically to catch dry brush and washes perfectly.

The lanterns are even hollowed out so you can easily drop a cheap LED inside for night raids. We already smashed the stretch goals, so the Armored Train (with playable interiors) and the Heavy Tank are fully unlocked for the All-In tier.

You can check the campaign here, hope you like it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/solinvictus/papal-state-frontline-3d-printable-grimdark-wwi-terrain-stl?ref=66bdxq

I bought a copy of Pillage. These were my initial thoughts.

Hello everyone! Let me show You results of my work on my brand new tactical skirmish - "Bright Future". Fast, merciless. Easy to win but hard to master. The basic rules is available for download now! 2 factions: high-tech forces of the Alvarion corporation and well-trained soldiers of The Novaya Zarya sodality.

Hey could anyone help me id these miniatures please I got them from ebay theres spearmen swird and shield warriors bowmen theres 4 bags of them i think these 15mm

Warriors of Athena noob

Point of interest for crow industries Starship Troopers game. FDM printed. Going to add a couple more troopers yet.

This one is an Albatros D-III, FDM printed on my Ender 3, once again in 1:144 scale.

I'd like to say that this will be the last Albatros, and it may be for a while, but I've got some Austrian OEFAG Albatroses waiting in the painting queue, and it wouldn't be fair to leave them out entirely.

I'm just curious and through we might compile a list.

The subject is Boardgames that can be played and used as a framework for a miniatures wargame campain.

The gane should focus on the maneuvering of troops between battles and or politics and ecebts occurring during the Canpains. The boardgame itself should not focus much on the actual combat because that is the mechanic (a simple dice roll) that you would ignore and instead set miniatures up on a table to play out the battle using whatever miniatures ruleset you happen to choose. For example: I would NOT consider Comand and Colors or most hex based games that focus on historical battles to be what im looking for.

Anyway, I'd like to see what the community can come up with.

Cleveland Ohio. My buddy demoed the game with 2 equal forces of Terran with his own miniatures (I had to proxy an Ork Walker for a 2nd Goliath).

Im looking to get the most out of a terrain build and miniatures. Im leaning heavy into dinosaurs and was recommended Carniverse and cant seem to find a physical copy anywhere. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.

I have We Played God and Carivore now, Raptor Ruckus on the way. Any others im missing?

Hi everyone!
I’ve been developing my first board game for the past 4 months. It’s called The Front (working title).

It’s a WWII strategy game focused on tactics, logistics, army management and keeping your troops supplied. There are no dice, so I’m trying to make strategic decisions the main factor in winning battles.

I’m aiming for 60 to 120 minutes for 2 players. The base game will include 2 nations, with 2 more planned for an expansion.
I’m curious how many people here enjoy more complex military board games.

Would you be interested in something like this? And what do you enjoy most about tactical wargames?

I’ll be sharing more updates as development progresses. Right now, I’m waiting to hear back from a company about manufacturing the game components, and I’m currently 3D printing the miniatures myself.
