Guess I should cross-post this from the general miniatures thread: Cthulu Carl posted:I've been slowly working on a unit of Scots Covenanters from Warlord Games's 'Pike & Shotte" range. First one done is the ensign.

hot cocoa on the couch posted:great models but insanely expensive. i messaged the dude to ask if he sells stls but i suspect he won't as the margin from the printing is probably a not insignificant part of his profit. worth a try anyway. I've been ever so slowly working on a version of this model kit set but it's 1/3000 There's also this set in 1/1200. Looks like all the rest of the 1/1200 category on HLJ is discontinued poo poo. Edit: If you have access to a 3d printer, this person makes WW2 ships for several nations, looks like normally in 1/1800. Cthulu Carl fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Mar 1, 2023 |

IncredibleIgloo posted:You might be able to just to make an ever so slightly larger base and bring it into the slicer and put it over the existing base and print away! I did something similar on accident and ended up merging two stls into a bizzare and unholy union. Absurd clipping is just what tabletop games need to start pulling people over from video games, so I approve of this union.

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. That just seems to be the size game that I can get into.

Like, I have Silver Bayonet and and thinking of getting The Last War so I've been looking for good Napoleonic and WWI models, but the way my idiot brain works, you could probably throw any ruleset at me and I'll be like "Oh neat! Can't wait to paint vikings/SAS/cavemen/samurai/warships!"

Comstar posted:...why does he have a control yoke. I dunno the rules, but I bet if it had mechanics for working the controls instead of just moving (Like how Gaslands hands gears), some kind of visual aid to show those setting would be good. And even if not, why NOT have a control yoke?

Picked up Five Men At Kursk and Where Sten Guns Dare. Will probably start working on minis for Where Sten Guns Dare soonish because commando raid movies are neat and the squad creation rules say:quote:In war movie tradition, one of the characters must be a foreigner. And that kind of silly, strictly-for-fluff rule is something I support.

Drunkboxer posted:I’m utterly new to miniatures and tabletop gaming in general really, but I’ve been burning through the Aubrey/Maturin novels the last few months and got the Black Seas starter set. Ah, so you have brain like mine that reads a bit about something or sees a show, movie, youtube video, or game on Steam and goes "Huh, I wonder if there's a good tabletop game for that..." Somehow last week I went from "Hmm, should I pick up U-Boat or Cold Waters..." and now I'm researching rulesets and minis from a bunch of navel periods...

Sydney Bottocks posted:It's probably more to do with the surge in authoritarianism/neo-fascism that's been happening in regards to modern politics (both here in the US and elsewhere) over the last few years. I can understand why it might make someone feel a bit uneasy about playing the Germans in a WW2 game, or the Confederacy in an American Civil War game, when there are people proudly displaying some of the same symbolism and slogans in the present day. The trick is to play Germans, but paint them as Tomainians and loudly declare that you are fighting against machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.

I'm a weak man and after just a little bit of watching videos about naval video games now have Osprey's Fighting Sail and Henry Turner's 1:2400 Napoleonic ships. Oh and Castles in the Sky and a couple fleets from Brigade on the way, but that's a different matter. Gonna print and paint a lotta teeny tiny boats.

Gonna try getting into Fighting Sail, so I painted up a couple ships to learn using the Frigate Duel version in the book. So here's USS Constellation and La Vengeance using the 1:2400 scale USS Constitution and Hermione models from on of Henry Turner's Napoleonic ship packs  Note's to self: A) Good god, 1:2400 is tiny... B) Maybe print out some flags for next time instead of handpainting.

Southern Heel posted:Did you play a game yet? I've got my two mostly painted half-fleets but haven't gotten them to the table yet. I bought two fleets from Tumbling Dice but I figure 3-4 ships per side is probably about right for a skirmish-level game on a 3' square board so returned one. Not yet, but I have another three day weekend now (since covid, my company has usually made Memorial Day a four-day weekend, but this time decided to declare this week a three-day week?  ) so I'm going to try to get a frigate duel in.

Finally got in that game of Fighting Sail. Did the Frigate Duel variant with USS Constellation versus La Vengeance, and after little over a half hour (Including time spent re-reading rules), Constellation was sinking to Davy Jones's locker. I really only had two issues with the rules. One was user error - I had issues keeping track of the sailing points until I stopped being a dummy and kept the success dice out for each ship and put them away as I spent the points. The other was part rules, part user error - I just struggled with how anchor tokens work, and kept forgetting to apply those effects when needed. Overall, good game, found it fun, will probably get a couple small fleets together now. It was pretty funny watching the seriously damaged Constellation essentially tank a raking shot to her bow at one point.

Anyone have a good source for 15mm medieval figures in the US? I have a 3D printer so I have some Dark Age and medieval stuff for it already, but I'd like to check out tiny pewter dudes too for things like Lion Rampant.

LatwPIAT posted:I'm going down a rabbithole of wanting to research ways late medieval/early renaissance warfare have been gamified (for a tabletop RPG), especially at the smaller scale. What are some good miniature games I could look to for 15th Century warfare? This is of course a period that spans a sea change in combat, but I'm mostly interested in specifically the Hussite Revolt and the 1470+ period of pike squares becoming the dominant form of warfare. I dunno anything about it, but was just searching on what you said, but maybe look into Impetus?? One of the warbooks looks to have a section on the 15th Century and a section for Hussites EDIT: Lion Rampant has a sample army list for Hussites as well so should work Cthulu Carl fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Mar 8, 2024 |

That reminds me, I still need to give Where Sten Guns Dare a try - a game that right at the beginning "There's not moral ambiguity, we're here to fight Nazis and blow things up", and enemy types are Collaborator ("Cretinous cowards"), Fascists Goon ("Faceless Stormtroopers") and Fascist Elite/boss ("Faceless stormtrooper who just had bratwurst")
