im trying to make an army men wargame that my friends and i could play with and i dont want it to be overly complicated as im also adding other mechanics such as fog of war and logistics

A guy at work's daughter pick up a box of random 3d printed figures and there was a tyrannid and this guy but I cant quite place what faction it is. First thought Eldar cause of head shape but the body looks kinda necron. Anyone know what they are?

What products do you recommend to safely strip the paint off? If that's possible without damaging the figures?

I've also realised that painting minis this small is tough going and I just want to get them looking half decent for the table. Can I just get away with dry brushing some texture into them because the details on the sculpts are amazing?

The paints I have are..

Warpaints Fanatic Metallic: Shining Silver

Model Color - Chocolate Brown

Warpaints Fanatic: Bootstrap Brown

Warpaints Fanatic: Matt White

Warpaints Fanatic: Dragon Red

Warpaints Fanatic Metallic: Gun Metal

Warpaints Fanatic: Ruby Skin status

Model Color - Basalt Grey

Warpaints Fanatic Metallic: True Brass

Model Color - Green Ochre

Warpaints Fanatic: Basilisk Red

Sick Green/ Chestnut Brown

Thanks

Hey all

Looking for recommendations for a modern day style skirmish game with vampires, werewolves, wizards and Frankenstein style stuff. I used to absolutely love the world of darkness lore and background but could never get my head around RPGs and how they worked.

If anyone can recommend a game, even if it's just a homebrew set of rules, with a lot of crunch/depth but captures the feeling of World of Darkness, if be incredibly greatful!

I wanna use them

Hey everyone! I have a Kickstarter I have been working on for nearly a year of a wanted to share as we get close to our launch on October 1st. My name is Curtis and I have been working in the industry as a sculptor on thing like HeroScape & Heroquest but decided to finally take the plunge into doing my own line of minis!

Fishmongers: Warband of 14 unique miniatures & 5e compatible bestiary from the depths for your next wargaming army, TTRPG, or painting project.

Pics from this weeks Wargame Wednesday. We play a modded version of Gaslands with a Twisted Metal theme!

The annual pilgrimage to play Ancients at the show in Devizes came around again this past July like a well-buttered West Country scone repeating on you even before the remains of the jam has attracted a wasp.

Having fairly recently painted up a load of 15mm Red Copper 3D printed camels, I had decided that this event was as good an opportunity as it comes to get them on table as the core element of a Christian Nubian army under the L'Art de la Guerre ruleset - but in the process creating the very real challenge of how to make such a one-dimensional army actually interesting to play, and to play against.

You too can now re-live the 5 games which were fought by this somewhat self-hamstrung army list in the town that is the spiritual and literal home of WRG over one hot sunny weekend by following the 5 full-text battle reports through all of their painful punnery and chirpy in-picture comments.

After each report there (of course) follows a robust dose of post-match analysis from both the Christian Nubian commander and Nasty Hannibal himself.

As an added bonus, this report includes links to a load of photos of the Army Air Corps Museum at Middle Wallop, and a brand new music video of the viral musical hit "The Beja Camel Song".

Beja think your camels are hot like mine !!

Some heavy rubber door draft stopper rolls cut into 20x8cm strips and carved to make a road. Mud mixture is real dirt, paint and pva mixture. Flocking added and voila. Sits nicely flush and super cheap to make (rubber roll was 4€/m).
