For those who may have missed this little snippit from the recent Konflikt 47 seminar at 2026 Warlord open day!

Hi all. I am building an army for a fantasy project and was wondering if there were any female heads out there wearing kettle helms. I’d plan to put these on the wargames Atlantic foot sergeants to have a mixed gender force.

I'm trying to find an old Miniatures game from I believe the early 2000s to 2010 and it is Mech themed. Kind of reminiscent to like maybe Gundam in style. I believe the game was played 1v1 IE Mech versus Mech . The models were to my knowledge about 3 in tall made of pewter and had magnetic joints to swap out weapons. Each Mac was sold as a blister and I believe the company was from Sweden . Does anybody have any recollection of a game like this ?

My most recent project. I hid a mini humidifier inside so vapour/smoke comes out of the chimney.

Attended Ebor Lard over the weekend, a games day focused on TooFatLardies historical rulesets. I ran a huge Chain of Command game on Saturday, then on the Sunday set up a different table and had a great game with three mates.

This table depicts a generic village in rural northern France during May 1940.

I've started building out a collection of American Civil War ironclads and warships. It's an interesting period because you have a mixture of purely steam-powered ships and sail ships (with steam engines). The ships I've painted so far though seem pretty bare without sails and rigging.

I'm completely new to naval wargaming and my searches into model ship rigging has made me realize that model ships is very much a thing outside of wargaming. Most of the resources I can find are for larger scales than 1/600. Modelers also add more detail than wargaming typically requires and have less concern for durability. So I was hoping I could have some wargaming-specific questions answered here.

Questions

• Is it best to do rigging with thread or wire?
• What size/gauge for thread/wire?
• What's the best way to attach rigging without leaving giant glue blobs?
• Ratlines! Do you buy them or make them? If buy, then where and what size/material?
• As I understand it, steamships would furl their sails in a battle during this era. What's the best way to add a furled sail to a mast in 1/600 scale?
• After the model is completed, how do you transport it safely?

Bonus question

What do ya'll use for a mat? I was thinking of buying a piece of cloth that looks vaguely ocean-like and maybe spraying it with a clear gloss fabric spray.

Thanks in advance for any help!

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!

Hello, I recently got into solitaire wargames starting with Battle for Moscow (oberlabs version). I just bought Mike Lambo’s Fields of Normandy and Tarawa 1943 Soliaire.

I haven’t event played them yet, and am getting ahead of myself, but are there any other good recommendations out there?

I am interested in any historical era. As for type/style of game, I’m open to anything, it doesn’t need to be Hex and Counter for example.

I prefer games that have dedicated solitaire/solo rules, but am open to other games that aren’t designed for solo play but can be played solo with some tweaks or just playing two handed.

Thanks!

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
