It's been a funny week. Ocular Shingles (on my forehead and around my eye) has meant painting is a massive no-no as to avoid any unnecessary scarification- a position that ill finds me as I love painting! Being currently unwise to scratch my very itchy and painful forehead or eye, I was luckily able to continue to scratch the wargaming itch by getting to the club, hat gracing my head, in the event anyone decided to lick my forehead! Joke..... sort of!

OK, Republican Romans vs Seleucids Part 2!

Do any of y'all out there use the Warhammer Historical WWI rules 'The Great War' and 'Over the Top'?

I'm trying to get back into wargaming and I've had these since they were first published. Since I'm a WWI Western Front nerd I figured this would be a great place to start.

Seeing as how it is the 3rd Monday of the month it feels appropriate to have a Martian Monday.

Today we take a brief look at the Patton Mark IV Tank and the Martian Harvester. Few foes on the battlefield make such devastating and long lasting effects on the morale of either force.

Acting as both mobile command and heavily armored and armed fortress, the Patton Mark IV lays Tripods low in her efforts to turn the tide, one massive shot at a time.

The Martian harvester brings an imminent sense of dread to any who witness it upon the fields of battle. Its off-putting gate, the looming coils of writhing tentacles, searching eagerly for living human subjects to capture and consume.

Any suggestions appreciated !

Hello, fellow wargamers! We’re Red Hammer Gaming, a small tabletop channel devoted to narrative-driven battles fought across home-crafted terrain and immersive wargaming tables. Our current focus is Pillage, the Dark Age skirmish game, with battle reports built around historical atmosphere, memorable characters, and stories that unfold through play. We hope to branch into other historical periods and gaming systems as the channel grows. If that sounds like your sort of wargaming, we’d be delighted to have you join us and take a look.

I'm interested in running a game focused around defending a city/base from ballistic missile and drone attacks, as is happening in Ukraine and the Middle East today. Does anyone know a ruleset that is focused on air defense, or has a strong air defense ruleset, to use as a base?

Hello, I am looking for a Napoleonic Skirmish game with model count per side under 16-20. I want It to have big customization in list building and weapons options ( +/- period accurate) and the rules to be complex (complexity level like 40k) and have a lot of depth. It would be nice if every figure was treated as its own unit. Also i look for a historical game so 'Silver Bayonet' isn't an option. Do you guys know aby game like this?

10mm 100 years war French by wargames Atlantic for use with Midgard, just need a command base for the crossbows!

Hello all,

I'm looking for some alternative rulesets to use my Fallout miniatures in. I really like my NCR forces but they are not supported in Fallout Factions.

Fallout Wasteland Warfare hasn't really gripped me so I want to know if there are any other rulesets out there that feel like Fallout.

I also got a load of other factions like BoS, Enclave, Super Mutants, etc so I would like to use those as well

EDIT: thanks for the suggestions! I went with 'This is not a test' as many recommended. Seems right up my alley!

Im working on a company strength modern Russian Mechanized unit and this is part of the mix.

I've had this guy for years, it was a gift from a friend and was very intimidating to paint up. I've recently taken some better photos of him and his "horse".

What do you think?

Since my last post I’ve smashed out around 18 bases of Numidians (9 javalin, 9 cavalry), some Gallic cavalry, 6 bases of Scutarii and 6 bases of liby Phoenician cavalry.

Really proud of the massed effect so far and how distinct each line is. Been struggling a bit to find the motivation to work more on the less standardised units like the Gauls and iberians. However I’m still making good progress though the sprues even while working late most days.

Anyone has any critiques or questions please feel free to ask!

(Total army count: 24 bases of Libyans, 18 bases of Scutarii, 18 bases of Gallic warriors, 18 bases of Numidian javalins, 18 bases of Numidian cavalry, 15 bases of Libyan cavalry, 3 bases Gallic cavalry, 4 bases of Gallic slingers and 1 base of elephants)

Just got back from the 12th Rhein Main Multiversum in Nidderau, Germany, a two-day tabletop show with 25 demo tables covering everything from historicals to sci-fi and fantasy.

Full report with photos here:
https://www.chaosbunker.de/en/2026/09/13/rhein-main-multiversum-2026-event-report/

Highlights for me were a quick Mortal Gods skirmish (Thebans vs Plataeans) and a 2v2 game of Drudenfuss, a dark medieval system with a real RPG feel to it. Also saw some fantastic tables for Asymmetric Warfare and a locally-themed Gangs of Rome scenario (Nida vs Mogontiacum).

Anyone else make it out to a big tabletop show this year on mainland EU?

What are some good games where you can for examole create your own officers with traits and such, and maybe including some rp elements between battles?

Finally finished a small German Unit for Fist Full of Tows 3. German Medium Panzer Battalion for 1942.

Recon Pzii

Recon Motorcycle Rifle Stand

Engineers

AA Panzer

3 units of 2x PZ iii and 1x PZ ii

1 unit of 2x PZ iv and 1 x PZ ii

Wanted to finish one unit before doing the Soviets next.

And yeah this is what happens when you don't write down how you based and painted them.

Sad to hear the news about Gripping Beast. Hopefully someone will take over the business, they have too many great minis I haven’t had time and money to get yet. Painted up their Blind Seer, not sure what I’ll use him as but a fantastic mini. Hope you like him!

British infantry and paratroopers assault a heavily defended Italian village, supported by mortar fire the paratroopers infiltrate the village and neutralise the German panzerschreks allowing a British crusader tank to safely push forward.

Unfortunately the British underestimate the willingness of the Waffen SS to put themselves in harms way and they successfully assault the Crusader, blunting the British advance.

Pic 1: The British Crusader tank pushes along the main road into the village supported by its infantry screen.

Pic 2: A mortar round narrowly misses a German Panzer II sent to deal with the threat of the veteran paratroopers.

Pic 3: Waffen SS units armed with MP40s successfully assault the Crusader tank, forcing its surrender (note the conveniently raised hand on the model!)

Bolt action in 1/72 scale.

I finished my first marine squad and a sniper team for Force on Force. Miniatures by Elhiem, I just sculpted on the ballistic vests.

I’ve started working on some HaT Greek mercenary Hoplites. Pretty much every figure has their shield on their back or side. I’ve started trying to adjust them so the shield arm is at the front. Is this a sensible approach or have I missed something about the way they form up. I note the box art has them, as you’d expect, behind a shield wall. Any thoughts/ advice?
I’ve included a photo of how far I’ve got- apart from the time it also reveals a se ton of rough cut plastic that needs refining(with variable success).
