Finger Licking good edition

Any good tutorials you can link?

> dry river bed

Cut a long bit of cardboard, use clay to build up two banks on either side, add some gravel for rocks, add sand for texture, paint.

Nice one, thanks

That weird texture paint GW makes that dries like cracked mud would be useful too.

Only if you want to go bankrupt making a riverbed.

Crackle paints from craft shops is what user needs.

In addition to that there is are a bunch of historical minis for the Jacobite Rebellion.
Ebob, Pike and Schotte, Front Rank miniatures are the first ranges that pop up for me.
Foundry also has a pack of highlanders.

There is a nice intro video for savage core.

I need these.

I need a color to paint my Corporate Ashigaru (15mm.co.uk).
Do you guys got any suggestions for some color schemes or am I better off going for the standard red?

Look up historical japanese uniforms and see if anything catches your eye.

Well, it's going better than I expected.

There are some other stuff, like rabbitmen, Sleestacks, and Thundarr the Barbarian.

Black with a golden mon painted on it is standard. Red is fairly unusual for Ashigaru - though famously employed at Sekigahara by Ii Naomasa and his Red Devils.

Victrix miniatures napoleonic highlanders, they are plastic and cheap (28mm)

Face sculpts are kinda meh, but if you just need the kilts (legs) and bagpipes, that doesnt matter.

they come in boxes of 60, caliver books sells them marked down to 19.5 GBP/$24.25 with free shipping worldwide

>Face sculpts are kinda meh
They are characterful to say the least and a real joy to paint.

Yeah, I'm pretty amazed as well. I'll probably back it later just to get that Russian repair station bolt-on.

Well, these *could* be uglier.
But it would take effort.

This is the closest thread to the topic I want to ask about: If I wanted to write modules for a RPG and distribute them without fear of C&D letters, what open-source systems or sympathetic companies would be good to use?

We have Art Deco Sculpture, Devo, and The Worst Ewok Cosplayer.

Sounds like my kind of army.

kromlech also sells highlander legs with kilts

Fireforge (the guys who do those cheap medieval plastics) are apparently dipping their toes in the fantasy waters a bit.

Ok so it's just their regular knights with wings added to the horses but it's a start.

Please tell me the box contains the exact same sprue as the regular mounted knight box, except with an extra sprue with wings on it.

The riders are literally the same sprue but the mounts are all-resin apparently.

Cocks.

>hey, miyagi these hats suck
>guess you shoulda read the fine print on your CONE-tract

Who is responsible for these cone helmets, and what is the context?
A google maybe implies it's Masamune but I associate Masamune with his golden crescent, not that kanji. I forget who wore kanji helmets.

So multi-based Fantasy Mass Combat has been established, but are there any rules sets for the same with sci-fi? 8-14 units a la Mighty Armies or Pendraken's Warband! rules? I'm aware of Epic and its variants, but that's not what I'm after.

Horizon Wars

My GCSE in German pulling through for me.

Horizon Wars has been mentioned, an older but neat game is Alien Squad Leader (15mm officially, uses 50mm square bases for most stuff). It has a bunch of army lists which... actually, remind me of AK-47 Republic more than anything else, in the way they're themed but open to represent a ton of different options.

dropshiphorizon.blogspot.co.nz/2009/10/alien-squad-leader-v20-tabletop-review.html

Also, Strike Legion? The Lardies have a game with a disappointingly ordinary name which was supposed to be called Get Your Fricking Tentacle Out Of My Face. I think it ended up as Quadrant 13.

dropshiphorizon.blogspot.co.nz/search/label/Review might be worth a skim. Even if you want to use a different scale, multi-based stuff you're probably best off looking at 15mm rules for - 6mm gets into microarmour territory and a bit vehicle heavy and detailed, 15mm is about right.

Also there's FiveCore Company Commander and its In Space version. I don't think Brigade Commander has the same SF options.

ASQL (as it seems to be abbreviated) seems most like what you want to be honest.

> I don't think Brigade Commander has the same SF options.

It does not, but Nordic Weasel have a large-scale SF game in the form of Laser Storm.

There's also No Stars in Sight which is about Platoon-level.

I always forget about LaserStorm. Neat game though.

does anybody here have dreadball lìrules or should i try with pdf share thread?(also if you have any comment on the game it would be appreciated)(also dreadball does fit the thead doesn't it?

pls respond

terrible

Depends on what you mean. So far all skirmishers mentioned here have rules for close combat.
And indoor combat just means playing inside of scenery to me.
Unless you mean something really specific to short range fire fights with rules specific to urban environments. In that case the only thing I can really think of would be Zone Mortalis or city fight rules for 40k though I'm not sure if that is what you were looking for.

What exactly do you want from such a ruleset?

tabletopgamersuk.wordpress.com/2016/11/24/all-the-wargames-black-friday-deals-in-one-place/

I mean combat INSIDE a biulding and I'm looking for rules that care about tearing a door down or what do you use for cover.

i am interested in this too and eventhough you don't care about this i have been willing create such system for ages, the idea of fantasy dudes or sci fi dudes operating operationally in a closed environment sounds really cool.

Well.
I mean you would just have to make some minor adjustments.
Declaring scatter terrain like furniture etc a certain kind of cover and determining something you use to open doors.
In Infinity you could let hackers open doors for example.
Or do it the Space Hulk way and just perform a normal attack.
If your game has some kind of intelligence or dexterity check you could use that.

Can't really think of any in games that go into much detail about it.

I do remember Bolt Action at least having a mini supplement with rules for using the 4grounds furniture in the games.
And FiveCore games have a generic check to do 'stuff', like using levers, opening doors or whatever the scenario requires.

The only other game I can think of you could check out for more detail on this could be the Batman game by Knights models or the Judge Dredd game.
Not sure about either of those, but old version of the Judge Dredd game had an entire book devoted to floorplans of all kinds of buildings.
A pdf of that should be floating around the internet somewhere too.

The doors thing is more complicated
In a swat team when you tear a door down there is an special formation just to enter the room. Two dudes (Maybe 3) have different positions just to enter a room.
Look at pic related one guy is covering the other, if both of them focused on the same target they'll get shot in the back.

I tought about this and I got the issue of how could this be represented in a game, after i tear the door can I pass two minis at once? and so on

MERCS Recon does something similar with its breach and clear actions.

Granted it's a co-op board game and not a wargame. Still; if you want office shootouts and busting down doors it's damn fun.

I don't know of games that do this, but I'd think there's room for specialised rules. You'd definitely want to, for instance, drop inch-counting and precise measurement. Go to zones and locations. You're generally in the room, you're in cover locations in the room, you're stacked on a door or in a corner or whatever, and you move zone to zone rather than precision measuring.

Actually, the Gears of War board game doesn't have doors, but its movement would be a good basic example.

>MERCS Recon does something similar with its breach and clear actions.
>Granted it's a co-op board game and not a wargame. Still; if you want office shootouts and busting down doors it's damn fun.
and it looks like something else is approaching this.

That joke was real Coney

It when the samurai needed to cross the freeway to get to Al's Toy Barn.
