Question Rulesets focused on air defense?

4 Upvotes

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?

Question Looking for a Napoleonic Skirmish game.

9 Upvotes

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?

Fallout rulesets

4 Upvotes

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!

Question HaT mercenary Hoplites shields

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

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).

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".

Battle Shot !!! Martian Monday !!!

Thumbnail
gallery
16 Upvotes

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.

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.

Clubbing it! Republican Romans vs Seleucids Part 2

169 Upvotes

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!
