Want to attempt something unorthodox - coastal support

( Yes this is a trustworthy supplier )

Now I am someone who likes... weird things. Or stretching the game and its rules as much as possible.

So the same supplier had 1/100th waterline models of German destroyers.. but they were WW1 ships so nah.

This smaller sub chaser might be better anyway.

Armament for this ship could be either a 3" main gun, or a 40mm Bofors, with a supplement of 50 caliber MGs or later, a small selection of single 20mm guns.

If I ABSOLUTELY had to have this in a game, would I treat it more as a edge of the board bunker that can give fire support, or treat it more like a train that instead of being locked to a track, is locked to whatever body of water is present?

Suspend your belief on how this might ruin your average game.

2nd and 3rd unit done!

This army is gunna look crazy. I wanted to finish all my gun teams first so I could get my guns glued to bases. I think tanks and vehicles are gunna be next cause that legitimately might not take much time.

Anyone coming to adepticon next spring wanting a shot at that best painted award better bring their A-game 😈

North Africa table built

I think it has just about enough scenery but it might need a re-jig to make it a little better. Any thoughts?

Played a small game through with my son too, he loved it and i'm hoping to run demo games at my LGS soon!

WarFront 0.7 - Trees

Hi all, 

We've just added the new range of models to WarFront - a set of 3d printable terrain pieces for 15mm scale wargaming - Trees.

This model range includes 12 different variants of tree models across 3 distinct size ranges.  The models are designed to be printed and then assembled using the push-fit connections on each branch. 

You can view all the new models here - https://warfronthq.com/model-categories/trees/ and as always, they are free to download and print.

Finished my first two artillery pieces for my Warsaw uprising Polish army

Slowly but surely getting paint on these guys. These two gun bases just need a matte varnish and they’ll be done but I’m waiting to do all 6 guns at the same time

Basing

I’ve tried lots of basing stuff; I’ve settled for the GW technical paints but does anyone know of a cheaper alternative (it’s basically just paint and sand mix right?)

Undertaking a small custom, rule ideas?

I will be making the No.5 "Hercules" armoured train as a piece, Im definitely struggling with the scale but its a work in progress.

Anyone have an idea for rules to apply? Or perhaps how I can work it into a list.

Looking for older resin models!

Hello, I’ve just started getting into building some Japanese and USMC armies and to that end I’m looking for the older resin USMC M4A2s, M3A1 Stuarts and the F4U Corsair & P-38 lightning.

Similarly for the Japanese I’m looking for the resin Mitsubishi Zero.

If anyone has any of these models that they’re willing to part with please drop me a message! Based in the UK but happy to pay shipping. Tia

British Light MK VI assembly question

The box art/real photos of the MK VI shows the higher hatch on the VIB turret and the flat hatch on the VIC turret. But the instructions show the opposite - flat hatch on VIB/higher hatch on VIC. Which is correct?
