General Wargames and Hobby Discussion / Re: Painting 28mm mounted figures.« Last post by SteveBurt on Today at 10:24:40 AM »Always glue the rider on first. If plastic, use polystyrene cement and he won’t come off. If metal, use general purpose glue (UHU/Bostik) and bend the legs in a little to grip the horse.

Fantasy Adventures / Re: 'Old Citadel Nostalgia' - an ongoing project.« Last post by Cubs on Today at 10:22:46 AM »Thanks guys, I do like to please with the colouring-in.
I'm afraid I don't understand all the technicalities of how you achieved your results but I do know that looking through this thread makes me want to paint. Look, if there's anything specific you want a quick rundown on, just let me know. In general I just layer up from a black undercoat, but for specific effects I sometimes have to try something a bit fancier - either through trial and error or cheating by copying someone else's methods! I specifically recall the first time I copied Kev Dallimore's method for painting wood with woodgrain I was so pleased with myself. I steal techniques from other painters all the time because I love what they do with their models. Shiny metals are still hit and miss sometimes and there's often a repaint and lighting effects I'm still in the early stages of. 94
Age of the Big Battalions / Re: What size for an 'essential' ACW collection?« Last post by SteveBurt on Today at 10:21:21 AM »My 20mm ACW armies are 12 infantry regiments (32 figures) per side, 3 cavalry (10 figures) per side and about a dozen guns each side.
That’s enough for an evening’s gaming. They were completed over 25 years ago and I’ve never felt the need to add to them. 95
Medieval Adventures / Re: Midgard - Saxons v British« Last post by WorkShy on Today at 10:09:40 AM »James started writing it because he wanted a Dark Age "big battle" type game but where heroes were important (as they are in the Sagas). It's element based units rather than individual model removal, so not like WAB in that sense. Good to hear you can individualise. I have no particular love of the WAB ruleset. What it offers is essentially big battles. In the physical sense of no max number of elements and a very large total number of minis on the table. Say a thousand! I just don't want to go down the route of DBA elements where you have very few minis. It just doesn't look like a wargame, more like chess. In that sense I'm somewhat concerned that at 28mm the element width is just 12cm. That's going to limit unit sizes to probably only 4-6 minis wide. I only do dark age and like to see a decent shieldwall. I assume though that is easily solved by just pairing multiple 12cm elements into a wider elements. I wonder then though if you'd need to change all missile ranges etc. Anyway will be buying when it finally comes out. 96

Now if I could just find the figures that would do for French Infantry on Mars. They ARE in the Lead Mountain, somewhere! 98

Fantasy Adventures / Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 03/26/24 The Twisted Tower photo stage update« Last post by DeafNala on Today at 09:54:35 AM »Unique and truly original! Adorable scenery! Thanks, Dinos...glad you like it! At almost twice the width, height, & depth of the Spooky Woods stage, this will make for some interesting photos. Oooh I remember this one! Nice to see you back at it! It didn't seem like I would ever get around to working on the Tower Stage. It is amazing what I can do with a jolt of energy & a splash of enthusiasm. The sprint to the finish line is going to be fun & maybe even productive. Thanks for the reply, Fram! 100
