Out of curiosity, does anyone have any resources on WW2 flag signals? Specifically for Italy, if possible. Since I bought three CV-35 tankettes to form the backbone of a BA armoured* platoon (with this trio being supported by an L6/40 flamer tankette and an M15/42) supporting my Alpini infantry platoon, for larger games. But the thing is, to better indicate the platoon commander/command tank, I bought some additional tank crewmen off Perry - including the one I'm using, which is a tank commander holding a signal flag out his hatch. The pic showed a yellow flag, which I might use as a fallback (that or maybe a white flag haha), but if anyone knows what the standard 'advance' flag colour is, I'd greatly appreciate it! (As a bonus, the 'extra tank crew' pack also included a based Italian tank crewman surrendering, with his hands up haha  I'm definitely painting him up to use, as a marker for a surrendered/abandoned tank)*Using the word 'armoured' very, very loosely

Hey so, like an absolute idiot I bought eight horses (enough for a reasonable BA mounted section, for a recon squad or something) among a bunch of scatter terrain pieces in Warlord's current 'random sprue sale', so now I'm thinking about actually using them... So what I'm wondering is, are there any generic horse riding legs I can use for them? Since I'm thinking of sticking the horse riding legs to the horse with either an alpini or regular Italian upper body (probably alpini) to it. Then have an as-identical-as-possible on-foot version of the mounted soldier, for when they dismount. I had a bit of a google earlier, but I couldn't find anything. I'm not really good at keyword searching for random bits though, so I'm not surprised by that result!

Class Warcraft posted:Just curious - why an alpini body for your cav? Oh, just because my force is primarily alpini as-is, is all. (With some recently added Blackshirts for use as cannon fodder in larger scale games) Thing is though, I can't really find any info online to support having alpini as the cav, which is making me toss up having them as simple regulars. But I mean, SURELY they had some horses here and there, for recon/patrol duties! That's an interesting idea though, about the Perry models. I'll have to compare prices, etc I think

Hey, so to those who play Bolt Action - what point total do you think you can comfortably go up to? I've played a bunch of 1000pt games and a couple of days ago played a 1250pt game, which seemed just as smooth to play. (I also won! I've been incredibly lucky in BA. 6/6 wins so far - although all that means is that I'm about due for a crushing loss! ) But anyway, as I've been expanding my Alpini force a bit over the last 6-9 months I've been thinking about how far I can take my force. I think with what I currently have* I can easily create a 2000pt force (a standard reinforced infantry platoon accompanied by a tank platoon with my various piddly Italian vehicles) and with the upcoming cavalry, I can probably stretch it out to being 2200pts. So, how feasible is this? Would that be OK, or...well, a little too unwieldy? I guess it might require splitting forces into two waves, and maybe adding in an extra turn or something. I'm not sure though, so I'm very much open to opinions, on it all! * I currently have four squads of eight vets, an M15/42, L6/40 three L3/35s, an AS42 Sahariana car, a light mortar, medium mortar, medium howitzer, light AT team, sniper team, AT rifle team, two S37 armoured transports, an arty observer and most recently a ten man Blackshirt squad, to use as a disposable 'short straw' building-/tank-assault team in large-scale games, so my Alpini won't need to risk themselves too much. Better to let some pro-Mussolini chumps die instead of vet soldiers, right? I'm also waiting for some bits to arrive so I can build an eight man mounted recon squad)

Alright, so I finally received everything ready for the horsemen I asked about a few pages or so back. It's really the first time hacking models up to kitbash them, but I think the result is good - it's not obvious at all, about where the 'seams' are. (I tried cutting at the waist directly below their belts+pouches, which I think worked well) Here's one of the eight horsemen in my Italian mounted recon section:  (I forgot about the mold line on the leg! I'll have to fix it later. Also note the gloriously awful L5s/FIAT 3000s in the background) The bodies are from the Warlord Italian box, the horses are plain-Jane Pike and Shotte horses from memory (not some of the ones with fancy barding and the like. I got these ones bundled with some other random bits, which is why I figured I'd make a mounted section) and the legs are from a goon's recommendation - Mad Robot Minis, from memory. Overall, I like how it's turned out! I feel the legs were more intended for 40K minis, so the boots are a bit chunkier than my regular Warlord models. I don't think it's too noticeable though - it only is if you have the dismounted riders next to their mounted selves. (Since I filed back the Warlord infantry legwraps to resemble boots, for the dismounted guys. So they look normal sized next to their mounted counterparts, while they look a couple sizes too big. Or as though they're wearing gumboots!) But anyway, I'm now wondering about paints and painting styles for the horses - I've never painted any animals before. (Well, I guess unless you count this Tau as an animal ) At the moment I have some Citadel options - Dryad Bark brown, which is quite dark, Baneblade brown, while is quite pale, as well as black and white.So I'm thinking I'll mostly do some dark brown horses (I guess a few Dryad Bark horses, with either the same for the mane+tail and/or black for the mane+tail?) Then maybe one or two with the lighter Baneblade brown with the darker Dryad brown for the mane+tail, perhaps. I'll also put a brown wash on the tail, mane and face I guess, to fill in the cracks. The main issue though, is the NCO - since I'd like to give him a different colour for his horse, so that he stands out a little more. I've only got a real black black and white though, so I'm not sure what I should do, for him. Are there any good tips/guides on painting horses, by any chance? Since yeah, this is probably going to be the only practice I'm likely to get anytime soon, as I don't have any spare horses to practice on

Class Warcraft posted:Nice dude, looks great! Thanks! And thanks for that - sounds like exactly what I'm trying to replicate! I've even got Agrax Earthshade too, so I think I should be pretty sorted. I've mostly got Citadel paints, but I also have some Vallejo ones here and there. I reckon I should be able to figure something out, with all my options combined. Out of curiosity though, how are you applying the wash? Since I was worried about it potentially being messed-up and looking weird on the horse's coat, but you seemed to have nailed it perfectly. Are you brushing extremely thinly over the horse's coat (like, on its rear, where there's absolutely nothing to pool in) in sections where there are no cracks and whatnot? Or are you using some other method that I haven't considered? (Since I know there are some whacky ways of applying washes, like using sponges and whatnot)

So, a friend and I are gonna play a large-scale game of BA soon, seeing as he's always had a lot of infantry and tanks, and I've been fleshing out my range of vehicles and added in two new 'specialised' infantry squads to accompany my Alpini. (A recon cavalry squad and a large section of disposable Blackshirts, for building- and tank-assaults) Anyway, at this point I've have tallied everything up and have enough troops for around 2800pts worth of forces, split across three platoons. (One regular reinforced platoon which is maxed-out on basically everything. Also has an M15/42 light tank and an armoured car. I've also got a tank platoon packed with tankettes and some arty, then the third platoon is another tank platoon, with a flamer L6/40 and two flamer L3 tankettes) My friend definitely has more than this, so he'll be able to match whatever I send out. What I'm wondering though, is how to actually go about playing it. Does anyone else have experience with playing a game on this scale? I imagine we absolutely won't be able to deploy everyone at once - that would be insane. Maybe even half each and then half in reserve for turn 3 (for example) mightn't be enough off the field? I also imagine that we'd need a couple more turns to play it out. So perhaps a turn order like this: Turn 1: Deploy the first platoon (our reinforced platoons, with the greatest mix of units) Turn 3: Deploy second platoon Turn 5: Deploy third platoon (I feel it's safe to assume he'll have three, too) Turn 8: Roll to see if the game stops or continues (since normally this occurs on turn 6 IIRC)

Oooh, that's a good idea! If I ever expand into the period (my wallet says 'please god, no!' but my heart is always tempted) I'd have to do something like that, since that's a pretty cool idea. On the topic of objective markers though, for Bolt Action I have a little sitting German Shepherd model from Warlord - I'm thinking about gluing a leather satchel to him, and making a greenstuff strap over his shoulder or in his mouth, to represent an 'inspector rex' tier good boy, with captured intelligence that both sides need to try and retrieve. Not sure how I should go about making the strap look like anything other than horrible spaghetti, though! But in addition to this, I've painted up a surrendering tank commander for my Italian force. I originally got him bundled with some other commanders and for a laugh decided I'd paint him up, even though there's no practical use for him. (Other than to represent the inevitable surrender of my army!) So yeah, I might use him as like, a captured tanker ace that needs to be rescued in the 'top secret' (not sure why they don't call it 'VIP rescue') mission type, or something. So yeah, it was a super quick job without much effort (don't shame me! haha) but I painted him up with a ratty beard and tried to make him look pretty ragged/dogged, like he'd fallen on rough times lately. (I mean, prisoners being interrogated or whatever don't normally stay at luxury resorts! ) Although I dunno, after sleeping on it I might also try to drybrush some dirt around the bottoms of his trouser legs and on his knees, or something.

Cool, will do! Not a bad thought at all. Since then with the off-cuts I'll stick them into the hollow bit at the back of the satchel, so that it looks more 'natural'. (Since the satchel is from the Warlord Italian box. So the back of them is hollow, and it'll be real obvious seeing as the dog won't cover the entire back, like the waist of a soldier does) Arquinsiel posted:He looks great, but his trousers do look a little cleaner than the rest of him. At least give it a sepia wash, smear some brown on there. Yeah, his pants just look like smooth grey tubes, which I'm not keen on. I've got a brown wash, so that's a good plan - I'll just slap some of that on at least, so he looks like he's got a few days' grime on him, to match the few days' growth on his face

Hey, just wondering - do any of you have suggestions for grass for basing in 28mm / 1/56 scale? Since I finally found a good deal on the Warlord farmyard animals (and a little thatch roof barn  ) so I decided to get it, to add to my friend an my Bolt Action tables now and again, when we're not fighting in urban environments.So yeah, my troops are all based on gravel, so I don't have any grass that I've used for them. Meanwhile, my friend bases his guys on mud and snow, so he doesn't have any handy, either. Apparently he reckons Leadbear does good grass tufts, although I'd have to order them online, since my FLGS doesn't seem to stock it. (Or any other grass, for that matter) Either way, does anyone have recommendations for the specific grass to use as a pasture/grazing field, at that scale? I'm probably thinking I might get three sorts, depending on availability: 1) Short green grass (cropped by animals or mowed, either way. This'll be most of the grass used I imagine) 2) Longer green grass (since it's a field, it won't always be even ofc) 3) Longer off-green/brown grass (just to be like, weeds poking through here and there) I've never used grass tufts before, so any tips are appreciated! At this point I guess I'll just spray the bases with the model, paint it dirt brown (in case there are some more obvious bits of the base showing between the grass tufts) and then just stick a bunch of tufts on it.

Welp, after buying the models a while back, scrounging some model booze crates and painting through my backlog, I've at last finished off my Blackshirt mortar team for Bolt Action! I use an Italian Alpini force primarily, however I painted-up a Blackshirt section to be a disposable building-/tank-assault team (since alpini vets are expensive, dammit! And well, who cares if a few pro-fascist Blackshirts die?) but when I saw this mortar crew, I knew I had to buy it.  I'm not a good painter by any stretch, but I had fun making it. I mean, who doesn't love having some carousing bunch of yahoos as their indirect fire support? Drinking, smoking (bit hard to tell, but one has a pipe), along with plenty of whooping and hollering whenever they see an explosion off in the distance. And of course, in stark contrast, I had to give 'em a highly nervous, uptight spotter. No doubt relieved to be away from the rowdy crew, but possibly somewhat concerned that they might mess up their firing solution and accidentally blow him up, or a friendly unit. (At least, I would be...) (Also in case anyone finds the light brown rims odd, I colour-code the rims to make squads stick out more. Plain black for single unit crews, or a variety of other colours for arty+spotter combos and infantry, etc.)

Southern Heel posted:Very nice indeed, Major Isoor - >20th century troops really do need some kind of markers to differentiate themselves however garish it might look, but with natural colours such as yours it's easy to see and not hard on the eye. Yeah, agreed. A friend of mine was initially dubious, but after seeing how easy it makes it at a glance, he's come around to the idea and is going to implement a similar system. Regarding your 'easy on the eye' comment though, yeah that's my aim - however, uh... I ran low on colours, so I actually have a purple- and an orange-rimmed mortar and howitzer team, respectively. So easy on the eye for most, while... horribly garish for others (Perhaps I should've bought more paints, or mixed some! Ah well, they definitely stand out at least, haha)Also, regarding Bolt Action still - what's the largest scale game anyone here has played? My aim is to play a 4000pt (possibly a little over) with a friend in the near future, seeing as we've both accumulated many, many men and vehicles. Mostly shonky ones on my part, since I just love all the cute, defective Italian armoured vehicles! Anyway, I'm mostly wondering about how large-scale games go, really. I played a 2300pt game at the end of last game, which actually went pretty quickly compared to our earlier 1000pt games. So... hopefully it doesn't blow out the playtime too much, having four times the recommended point total! Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Jan 30, 2024 |

Hmm, yeah true actually. I've just taken a look and it seems like I've got enough L3 tankettes for an entire "armoured" platoon (three twin-MMG variants, two flamer variants, plus an AT variant equipped with a mounted AT-rifle), along with probably one and a half other maxed-out armoured platoons' worth of miscellaneous tanks, SPGs and armoured cars. This is gonna be a big game! I'll have to tally all my guys later, to make sure I don't need to increase the 4k point budget. I'll have to take a photo of all our guys assembled pre- and post-game (the survivors, anyway), since I reckon we'll both have an insane amount of troops and gear combined

The models are pretty and 2. the regular historical players at my FLGS are three dudes mirror matching Bolt Action Brit on Brit on the 40k desert tables that easily convert if you replace the 40k buildings. Yeah I mean, I don't see the issue with buying into Germans personally, since there needs to be a little diversity on the table IMO. (Unless you start using greenstuff to make big red flags with swastikas on them, to cover your tanks. I think someone here posted about a guy who did that a while back) Since from what you said about the other people all playing Brits, someone needs to play an Axis country - since mirror matches are bound to get boring. And hey, you picked the African theatre - that always gets bonus points, since everyone loves model soldiers wearing funny little shorts, right? Mind you, if you want to use German tanks without actually picking Germans, you could always consider going for a minor power, such as Hungary. Great Escape Games has a solid range. I play Bolt Action with the Italians personally (I must say, I like the added benefit of being able to fight both the Allies and Axis, without it seeming weird/ahistorical ) but I was very tempted to buy into Hungary when I first started, a few years ago.

Cessna posted:Also, some of the "national rules" don't scale. A free squad of riflemen has a lot more impact on a 500 point game than a 1000 point game. Oh yeah, absolutely! IIRC one or two worked around this by essentially letting you take a free copy of your cheapest infantry squad, however many others are rather set in stone, unfortunately. Panzeh posted:Do they get point discounts for this? Nah, it's all treated the same. So for example, Italy didn't get any kind of bonus or freebie, they simply received penalties that amounted to the game getting harder if they started losing more men than the opponents - which would allow opposing players to snowball into victory more easily... (I've been pretty lucky though, in my games as Italy - so I can't complain too much!) Case Blue finally gives alternatives that are actually positive though, which is nice.
