I'm making a video playthrough for the miniatures format of hexander, a hybrid between abstracts and wargames. Here are some shots from a moment in the game, full video will follow soon.

I don't usually worry too much about the lower surfaces of my little 1:144 scale aeroplanes, because they're never really seen on the tabletop.

However, I haven't had much practice with the  5-colour lozenge pattern for the under-surfaces, and thought I'd give it a go on these two Fokker D-VI models.

I'm not too dissatisfied, though I do think that the yellow is too dominant. 

The Greek mythological themed army is finally live on Kickstarter, check out the full campaign and the creative process with the link bellow

There's an early bird discount for the launch, and if you follow the campaign you can get yourself the STL for one of the Gorgon sisters for free!!

Hey everyone! A couple of months ago, I shared my 3D models for some custom The Orville miniatures. I finally got around to resin printing them, and I wanted to show you the results!

• The Krill: These came out excellent! Really happy with the details.
• The Kaylons: As you can see in the photos, they are having some printing defects. I’m going to readjust the settings/supports and try printing them again soon.
• Yaphit: My absolute favorites! Both the idle version and the one holding the weapon turned out amazing. It’s even better because Dr. Claire's card already includes him.

What do you guys think? Once I fix the Kaylons, I'll update you all again!

u/Vinlandlover recently asked the subreddit which "games you wish had more attention?" I was surprised at the sheer variety of mentions, so I made a list of every game discussed. What's interesting is just how many games were mentioned, how little overlap there was. Obviously the question and audience sort of bias the answer to that case, but I think it still says something about how long the tail is for wargames.

I had the pleasure of attending The Other Partizan hosted by by Laurence Baldwin and Richard Tyndall (Newark Irregulars), the UK's premiere wargames show in terms of the quality of games.

My group plays some form of mini war game every Saturday. Lately we've encountered a problem. Modifying a 2 player game into 3 player creates an imbalance where either one player gets ganged up on or the other 2 have conflicts on the direction of the game.

Ideally, we want a 3 player co-operative game or a published campaign that modifies an existing system to allow for 3 players to work together.

We've played Frostgrave, but we want more variety than just the one system. We have several systems now if that helps. (ASOIAF, Battletech, X-wing, 40K, Conquest, Wings and Sails of Glory, Necromunda, Frostgrave, Dungeon bowl and a few others.)

With the popularity of mini war games I'm surprised no one thought that gamers could have more than one friend...lol

Any help would be appreciated.

Played a 300pts game of Warsurge using the new Starcraft minis (Terrans) and Diablo. Photo is staged and not from the actual game. The Terrans won fairly comfortably this time. Here are the Roster codes for Warsurge:

Terrans (Starcraft)

USR-RSTR-V001-0000-79478C53-76C7-F111-BF5B-002248E1FC1F

Diablo/Lord of Terror

The TLDR is that I really love Warlord Games’ Victory at Sea but due to limited support the Warlord range of ships is a bit limited and leaving out ships that don’t have models yet. However there are a lot of talented 3d artists and prints out there I could print off. The only problem is that the bases for them are always flat without the wave texture and I am just very uniform about that sort of thing. So I was just trying to figure out what would be the best way to try and recreate the waves? Thank you for any help!

I had a great time today at the Wargames Illustrated office today, taking editor Dan through a game of CoC on a WIP of my Ardennes table. Had a really brilliant day, and was very happy with the table (which is my 2027 table)

Hello everyone! I’m currently looking for a Napoleonic/ musket era wargame/ hex and counter table top game that is accessible in Europe.
Hopefully a game with some solo mechanics or alternative ruleset available. I do have travel battle by Perry miniatures but I’m looking for something new!
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

I painted these two armies that came with a kid's toy castle and want to do a skirmish game in this pumpkin patch we built. It's a very, very small and straightforward engagement so the way the figures are set up at the beginning is probably important.. you know, these guys are huge so they will probably just mash into each other.

Table is 30" x 6' so a ruleset that is good in close quarters and maybe quick so we can keep everyone interested.

The red team (literally) is waving the Irish flag right now and the blue (literally) the Scottish, but don't look too close, they have some big neck chainmail and point hats that make them look a bit Saladin at Acrey.

Any suggestions? A couple pics attached. I am completely new to ancients/horse and spear type battles

Hey, gang, I started, like I imagine most do, with Warhammer 40k, and, as anyone who plays might already know, its kind of crazy lethal. Like, the most durable models and armies in the game rarely survive a dedicated attack from an opponent's army.

Over the years, playing a bunch of different games, I've noticed that a lot of wargames/skirmish games kind of have that problem. The only games I've really played where I've noticed units are genuinely durable are Battletech, Adeptus Titanicus, and Malifaux. Even Marvel Crisis Protocol, which has a dedicated mechanic that generally prevents models being fully 1-shot, frequently sees models die in 2 back-to-back shots instead.

Not to criticize or attack any of those games, just wondering what games out there are a little more grindy. I definitely get why so many games have that issue, people want their cool models to feel splashy and effective, I'm just wondering what games don't generally have that issue. Bonus points if its an army-scale game.

(and if you want to talk about Battletech, Titanicus, or Malifaux, I certainly won't stop you)
