The everything miniatures wargaming thread

My Eldar aspect warriors to warhammer 40K got a bath in aceton recently and have been repainted. Here's my Howling Banshee squad.

[The Brain]

Cool!

The few times I have considered Eldar I have been a but put off by the way there's "official" colors for the different aspect warriors and shit. I know you can paint how you like but they always seemed more "locked" than other armies, if you know what I mean.

Yes I know what you mean, all the different aspect warrior painting schemes also has a tendancy to give the army a less unified appearance.

Anyway here's my repainted Farseers and warlocks

[The Brain]

Nice. Always liked the lock models.

[Sophie Scholl]

Oh wow.  Most impressive.  I've never been an Eldar fan, but those are some nice looking mini's.

Thanks for the kind words

I've been working on assembling my piles of 40K Imperial Guard. Should I get to the painting and playing stage I'll be sure to post some updates.

A friend of mine has been into 40k.  I've been helping him build and paint some Terminators.  It's relaxing work.

Here's my newly repainted Fire Dragons

Finally took the plunge and ordered some Perry plastic "Mercenaries" 1450-1500 and a bunch of metal figs. Men-at-arms, 2 cannon and crew, Yorkist and Lancastrian commanders. Arrived today. Pretty neat. I now have an unassembled and mostly unpainted army.

I've pretty much decided to produce the Legacy of Glory 2 miniatures rules this summer.  Napoleonics miniatures players are in for a treat. 

What's the status of this?

Also would be interested in your views on the masses of existing rule sets.  Gather from the earlier comments that Napoleons Battles has issues but that General de Brigade is recommended.    I also have seen references to Grand Armee, Shako, republic to empire, Lasalle, Black Powder.  Probably others I missed.

The decision was to hold off publishing any side ventures until the new Lee books are through the editing process.    Obviously, not a decision I voted for.  I'd be glad to send you a copy of the rules for playtest purposes, if you play Napoleonics.

Truth be told, I haven't had time recently for any gaming on any platform and that is likely to hold for the next few months.  I've never played minatures although somewhere in the attic I have an old Avalon Hill copy of NB.  The idea seems interesting though and Napoleonics seems like the best period to play.

Here's a battery of British 25pdrs in Italy that I've been painting recently for FoW.

Finished a unit of billmen for the Kingmaker. Very simply done. And I still can't be bothered to take pics in daylight and having a good setup and shit.



For my next unit in the army I will do something completely different.
