What are your favorite Wild West skirmish rules? I'm going to be moving into a house that will finally allow for a wargaming table and I've always wanted to print up a bunch of Whitewash City buildings and do my own little spaghetti westerns.

There are also zero plastic western miniatures, which is a real bummer. I was able to keep my Frostgrave purchases to like $1 per mini because of Wrath of Kings being dirt cheap and the North Star boxes, but I think I'm gonna have to pay for metal for this particular pipe dream.

moths posted:Warlord just announced Epic Waterloo, and it looks pretty loving great except that you only get one side in either starter and it's a weird scale. I was thinking that this box was going to be my entry into historicals, but the full buy-in being $280 is WAY too much for someone who just wants to play kitchen games with their partner.

I have never seen a website that takes longer to load than TheMiniaturesPage. I don’t know why that’s the case.

Isn't it mostly because of the battle boards? I could see keeping those physical and having a digital rulebook but grogs are gonna grog.

I am very excited for my Zombicide Undead or Alive box to show up so I can use all the minis in it for Dracula's America and never touch the base game.

Is there a skirmish game that does chanbara samurai movie combat well? I would love to do a one vs many Zatoichi or Lone Wolf and Cub game but most samurai rules seem to be focused on larger scale.

A friend from work gave me a sprue of old-style Bolt Action infantry and god drat, I can see why people hated these things. I knew about having to glue the individual weapons into hands, but helmets on heads?

I’m not super worried about it, since I’m just gonna use the torsos and arms for Zona Alfa kitbashes. It’s just very funny coming from the newer sprue I have with guns in hands.

Anyone have any experience with Gangs of Rome? They're doing a Kickstarter for a new edition next week and street-level ancients skirmish gaming with an ongoing campaign sounds right up my alley.

Crossposted from the Kickstarter thread, Gangs of Rome 2nd Edition is up and the minis they're showing look tight as hell. Already pledged for that gang of knife-wielding farce actors.

hot cocoa on the couch posted:lol yeah it's so weird. i'm part of like 5 or 6 and it's basically the only reason i use fb A lot of olds are historical gamers and they famously don't want to learn other platforms. I'm thankful that every game has a Facebook group and not, say, a bespoke Peter Pig-rear end website.

spectralent posted:Randomly neon armies aren't something I've seen but I have seen pop-culture-history armies and I think people usually think they look rad. I've also seen occasional pink panthers for the joke which is a bit more eye-roll-y, but still. I've always wanted to try a blue Sgt Rock-style Nazi army.

I really wish there were more heist/organized crime skirmish games, I would love to kitbash some Wargames Atlantic Partisans and Great Escape Gunslingers into Sam Peckinpah-esque mobsters and run the equivalent of a Richard Stark novel.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deadmanshand/dead-mans-hand-redux-2nd-edition-starter-set/ Great Escape are crowdfunding a new edition of Dead Man's Hand. The main reason I'm excited about this is the plastic buildings and street scatter they're offering.
