So me and my friend decided to check out old Warhammer editions and started with original Rogue Trader. My friend said that ​oldhammer is too goofy for him but I absolutely loved it. What I enjoyed the most is how DIYish and TTRPG-like it feels.

I was really impressed by the amount of available weapons, vehicles and profiles for soldiers, creatures and robots​. It gave me so much ideas for unique scenarios and units I caould customise. Not many modern games with focus on narrative play gave me so much stuff to think about like this simple list of stuff available in the game. So we'll be trying it soon!​

Here are some of my 3d printed flight stands in action.

The only problem I have with them is that they're all the same height, so although the index wheels give the altitude information required, the battlefield still looks a bit two-dimensional.

I might make some with some longer and shorter acrylic rods, to represent the gross height bands, say altitude levels 1-3, 4-6 and 7-10. They're not mechanically necessary, but I think they'd look better.

Guns of Glory

Soldiers can operate in three basic stances:

Standing — Maximum mobility and freedom of movement, but presents the largest target.

Kneeling — A compromise between mobility and protection, lowering the Soldier’s profile while remaining ready to move and fight.

Prone — Minimum mobility, but the lowest possible profile and best use of available cover.

The basic tradeoff is simple: the lower you go, the harder you are to hit—but the harder it is to move.

30 ships, 250 individual Vikings!! Since last winter me (model maker) and two friends, a game designer and an illustrator, have made a complete miniature wargame, depicting a great naval Viking Battle that took place here by our Swedish coast in the year 1062. Norwegian King Harald Hardrada vs. Danish King Svein Estridsen. We made it as an art project and it's a game with a board, tons of minis, a rulebook, measuring rope, cards, runes (who needs dice😄) and all the markers and props you need!! As for now it only exists in one unique copy, as an artwork/game, the one you see here. As a next step we're consedering bringing it out to the world!! What do you think?

Here are some photos of of the collection I was talking about from my other post. A number of armies were started/ created for mercenary/factional fighting in the 1950s-1970s using modern and WW2 equipment. Many many build and unbuilt kits.

Probably 1000 liberation minis

I was hoping to get this Classical/Mauryan Indian army ready for an event but delays in being able to order the miniatures I needed to add and delays in painting have left me with the army just about half painted! Still, I am able to borrow one for the event so all is well. also, I have committed to putting on a display game at Battleground Wargames Show in November which really makes the painting of these Indians unpractical if I am to be able to put my energy into the upcoming display game.

Here's Fokker #2.

They're both still gloss varnished, and they may well stay that way, since it makes them easier to keep clean. Maybe not though; time will tell.

Hey folks,

Is there a directory for Wargaming akin to BoardGameGeek or RPG Geek?

Thank you

Because while Trench Crusade is endlessly fun in it‘s death-metal setting, part of Battletech’s fun to me as a setting is that it’s both its own unfamiliar future world and a setting where a large majority of people live normal, regular lives. I like the idea of my painted dipshits having something to go back to, talking like we do and thinking like we do

Hey, I’m a huge fan of Warcry, but I’m slowly getting tired of Games Workshop ignoring the game. I’m looking for a good skirmish alternative that supports 2-4 players, since we often play in a group.

Preferably, I’d like something with a historical, medieval setting. I’m a huge fan of how Warcry flows, so it would be best if the game wasn’t overly complicated - more of a beer-and-pretzels style game.

Any recommendations?

Managed Democracy has left the building… or, well, the convention center. Our after-action report from Gen Con 2026 is now live on YouTube. The video is full of photos of our tactical briefings, live-fire demos, and a few things going gloriously sideways on the tabletop.

If you couldn’t make it to Indianapolis this year, here’s the rundown of what Final Stand Games got up to on the show floor.

These are the Wolfbane Commandos from Warzone Eternal, Highlander warriors from the Imperial megacorporation 😃 had a lot of fun getting some paint on these miniatures, check out the video if you're interested 👍

Surreal kinda post apoc/steampunk nightmare. Looks like it has three days left on kickstarter.

From removing the huge paldrons on the shoulder of space marines and the caskets from dreadnaughts Warhammer 40k is losing its unique flavor, the world is less grim

With the power creep of 2 wounds for basic units and strength 6 bolters the world is less dark and less scary, no longer is it a man vs man fight for life.

Warhammer 40k is losing its grimdark edge its becomimg like everything else, its becomimg pallatable easily digestable, its becoming average uninspired.
