IncredibleIgloo posted:I am making a huge Imperial Guard Army for 40k. Half of it is Krieg and will be in German colors and the other half will be Cadians as us forces. The new cadians have very prominent knee patches so I am painting them up as Paratroopers. The old Cadians I have will be done up as US rifle infantry. That will also make it seem plausible for the difference in sculpts. The benefit is I can play bolt action with this army as well! I shaved off the kneepads for my Cadian Soviets (though most of them are Kriegers), it was pretty easy.

Count Thrashula posted:Black Powder is like any Perry ruleset, where to make it truly shine you have to play with like 200 painted 28mm figures and play on an 8x10 table minimum. Running it with 10mm you can change measurements to cm (so wherever it says "inch" change it to "cm"), and then run it on a regular-sized gaming table.

Cthulu Carl posted:Here's possibly a dumb question, but are there any ruleset that cover small-scale, skirmish battles? I'm talking on the scale of Kill Team or Frostgrave/Stargrave - like 10-20 dudes on a side, and on a 3'x3' max table. Plenty of them! Which era are you looking for?

Well my favorite is Muskets & Tomahawks, which is (naturally) a skirmish game in the era of muskets. There are supplements for more specific eras (like the AWI). There's also Sharpe Practice for Napoleonics specifically.

Need to make a scenario for What a Cowboy or LotOW where you have to race to save the telegraph lines from being cut by baddies because otherwise no one will be able to order new miniatures.

If they modernized their website that process could actually be automatic. All of the recent Pathfinder poo poo I ordered has my name and email on it, and frankly their webstore sucks rear end compared to many others.

Even in backwards America we do not measure artillery ranges in yards (let alone kiloyards which hurts my brain).

Southern Heel posted:I think the kiloyard thing is just so they don't have to write x,000 for every single figure, and can then place them in stat cards/etc. which then translate directly to hex distances. But they could have used metric, which is what real life navies use.

Midwinter Miniatures, who usually does Warham stuff, made a video painting up some Bolt Action minis, and discusses who has to play the Nazis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apOe1XFzcRc And some of his questions are common but also good, I think he probably could've, like, asked someone who actually plays historicals for info.

Jobbo_Fett posted:Seems weird to me that this would be a hot topic item recently by some peeps in the historicals. Do they not play video games? How wrong has it been for years to play Call of Duty or Battlefield XYZ where you're playing as Germans, or Soviets, or the bad Soviets, or Russians? Not only does Guy from MWM play videogames, that video is sponsored by World of Warships.

I can't count how many models I've got with the thinnest possible sword or carefully created chain mail where every link is individually done or whatever. Completely pointless at 28mm, and likely to just cause a print failure anyway.

One of my most memorable reenacting moments was after a rain storm, humid as gently caress, and we were doing street firing. After the first couple of volleys, because of the wet, still air, the smoke just hung in place, and I could see nothing but the British feet and the occasional flash in the smoke.

spectralent posted:That's kind of a shame to hear - I haven't actually played battlegroup myself but I've heard it well-spoken-of. It's meant to have a "phases" element where troops come on in play and the strength of forces escalates over time - how did that play out? We've talked about Moderns in here aplenty. They're historicals for all intents and purposes anyway.

Springfield Fatts posted:lmao same, I'm doing an AWI project as an xmas gift for my in-law and I'm watching the Patriot and Turn for visual inspiration because goddamn figuring out who looked like what in this ragtag army of terrorists is such a pain in the rear end. Also I don't give a gently caress if they played a minor role, I'm painting cavalry. I can give you a whole bunch of information if there are units you want to know about. The Patriot is fine for material culture, but Turn is total rear end and shouldn't be used for anything.
