I am building 15mm modern terrain for some Force on Force. Does anyone have any good pictures of 15mm modern stuff?

You might want to try over at /fowg/, since 15mm is all they're about usually.

Thanks for starting new thread. I've been AFK all day and certainly didn't expect thread to die so swiftly, that's like only the third time it's ever happened. Must be because of busy Sunday. Anyway, I'll post what I had prepared.

Today marks 223 years since the Battle of Fleurus, a major engagement between the army of the First French Republic and the Coalition Army (Great Britain, Hanover, Dutch Republic, and Habsburg Monarchy), in the most decisive battle in the Low Countries during the French Revolutionary Wars. Both sides had forces in the area numbering in the vicinity of 80,000 men, but the French were able to more effectively concentrate their troops in order to achieve victory. The Allied defeat led to the permanent loss of the Austrian Netherlands and to the destruction of the Dutch Republic. The battle marked a turning point for the French army which afterwards remained ascendant throughout the rest of the War of the First Coalition. The French use of the reconnaissance balloon l'Entreprenant marked the first military use of an aircraft that had influence on the outcome of the battle.
The Austrian commander, Feldmarschall Coburg, split his army into five columns and launched the main attack. l'Entreprenant, operated by the Aerostatic Corps, continuously informed General Jourdan about Austrian movements. The Austrians managed to break through both French wings, pushing back Marceau on the right wing and Montaigu on the left wing. But the French center under Lefebvre held and then counterattacked, and the Austrian assault petered out. Colonel Nicolas Soult, then serving as Lefebvre's Chief of staff, wrote that it was, "fifteen hours of the most desperate fighting I ever saw in my life."
Coburg neglected to press on and, uncertain of the outcome, the Austrian commander lost his nerve and fell back to Braine-l'Alleud and Waterloo, granting the French an unexpected victory. This was the final straw that caused the allies to retire back over the Rhine, leaving the French free rein in Belgium and the Netherlands.
William Diaz
It is generally agreed that the battle was a costly one for the French, with casualties estimated between five and six thousand. The Allied losses have always been in dispute. Traditional estimates attribute "considerable casualties" to Coburg's army, and hover near five thousand Allied killed and wounded. However, according to historian Digby Smith, Austrian-Dutch losses numbered 208 killed, 1,017 wounded, and 361 captured. In addition, the French captured one mortar, three caissons, and one standard, while the Austrians captured one cannon and one standard.
The victory precipitated a full Allied withdrawal from Belgium and allowed French forces to push north into the Netherlands. By the end of 1795, the Dutch Republic was extinguished. After Fleurus, the republican army would keep its momentum in the war, staying on the offensive until its eventual victory against the First Coalition in 1797. Politically, the battle invalidated the argument that continuation of the revolutionary Reign of Terror was necessary because of the military threat to France's very existence. Thus, some would argue, victory at Fleurus was a leading cause of the Thermidorian Reaction a month later.
As one of the grandest battles of the Revolution, Fleurus has a lot of colour and variety on a pretty epic scale, in the best tradition of 18th-century warfare. The use of the balloon adds an interesting element, finally giving a good justification for the wargamer's "eye of God"!
You really should train someone on how to do your job user, what if you die suddenly?
Who will pick up the slack?
Liam Adams
We need to make it more compact so someone can just copy and paste the OP.
Blake Scott
I love the perry war of the roses minis, what are some good skirmish level games for that period?
Christian Collins
A few F-4s and MiG-21s painted for Missile Threat (this modern air combat game I'm working on) Almost at the stage where I can start play-testing. Yes I have pipe-cleaner missiles. Also waiting on decals so no tiny stars yet.
Grayson Kelly

Hunter Sullivan
Are we getting a bolt action WWI adaptation?
Jordan White
There already is an unofficial one. Quite a few people seem to play it too.
Wyatt Perry
I did a bit of background searching and apparently one was planned for September 2015 but it was scrapped because of a lack of interest.
Bit of a shame really, WWI is rare to see and even rarer in 28mm platoon sized games.
I still hope Warlord decides to pick the period back up again one day.
Until then I'll use these and Renegade's 1918 collection.
Bentley Parker
Anyone has other Battlgroup books like Barbarossa, Blitzkrieg etc. that are not in the OP link...?
Grayson Bailey
>because of a lack of interest >let's just make more plastic Germans then!
Lincoln Ortiz
that meme gets old fast when like the 10 last releases were non-german plastic kits
Benjamin Johnson
Don't worry, the next one will be plastic Waffen SS.
Also, we were talking about 2015 September.
Zachary Watson
About time.

WWII: Operation WhiteBox is a roleplaying game of WWII special forces action designed for compatibility with the Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox roleplaying game.
In WWII: Operation WhiteBox, the player characters (PCs) play the role of WWII special forces operatives. They may be formally trained and part of an officially designated special forces unit such as the SAS or U.S. Army Airborne, or they may simply be guerilla fighters dedicated to making life hard for the German Army. They may also be covert agents working for organizations such as the SOE or OSS. Whatever their affiliation, their job is to complete missions behind enemy lines, paving the way for the next Allied advance.

No option to play as axies?

The system is basic enough to cover any unit you like, but the Brandenburgers and friends do get a special mention
John Baker
Huh, neat. I'm not huge on old-school d20, but this isn't bad at all.

Thank you! I'm always looking around for interesting ww2 rpg's GURPS (although excellent) can become quite a hassle at sometimes.

Dylan Gonzalez
Thanks for this, user. Just what I was looking for.
Joshua Adams
I feel for them a bit since I get the impression Warlord isn't rolling in cash but since they've gone to the trouble of making all the WWI tank kits you'd have thought it would be more cost effective to release an infantry kit and a book so people could use them.
Grayson Cruz
>isn't rolling in cash >make plastic figures for a sci-fi game with a somewhat low market
Evan Scott
Antares was a mistake
Lucas Flores
Antares would be cool if they actually made good figures, right now most are just alright. The Ghar and Boromites are cool but the other more humanlike figures have odd or bad poses. The Freeborn just look horrible.
Luis Sanchez
What's a good easy and cheap way to make 25mm bases?
I saw something about that in the Song Of Swords General recently, it looked cool
Mason Lopez
Any tips on filing down the helmets on 1/72 plastic soldiers? I'm a total begginner at this. Using an old nail file doing circular motions on it but it doesn't really seem like I'm achieving anything.
Ayden Cox
For 1/72 I usually use a sharp craft knife / stanley knife. Carefully trim off the raised area you want to remove. Cut as close as you can to the actual surface without cutting into it. Filing or sanding can leave you with a rough edge, while cutting gives a smooth one.
Paint will cover a multitude of sins, so don't worry too much!
Oliver Brown
since my FLGS can't stock Vallejo and I don't want to ship, I'm gonna have to use these babies for Brits instead of English and Russian camo respectively. Zandri Dust will also be involved. Thoughts?
Isaiah Green
>don't want to ship As someone who doesn't have an FLGS or a Vallejo stockist within 200km of him, I'm somewhat annoyed. Order the correct paints and don't be a cheapskate, in the longer run it'll pay off.

2p coins if you are in the UK, if foreign look at foreign coins. All of my 28mm figs are based on 1p coins.
Hudson Butler
Which one of you sneaked into the thread?
Noah James
Wait really? Source?

they showed greens at the last salute i think. plastic king tiger too

Bentley Gray
Fantastic. Glad to know I won't need to use German grenadiers anymore.
Owen Reed
whats wrong with the Grenadiers?
Adam Roberts
Doesn't really represent the SS smock in the way I'd like. It's a nice kit and does the job to a degree, but a dedicated kit is also nice to have.
Jonathan Ortiz
True. Plastic minis with smock will be handy to mix them.
John Turner
Intermittently working on some myself, am hoping I can use them to distract people from 40k for a moment or two. I can't help but want to build more than I need though, gotta have all the options...
Gavin Williams
1p is 20.9mm, 2p is 25.9mm, and this pisses me right the fuck off. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT. 1mm less would make both bloody perfect.
Leo James
So the huge difference in price between 28mm and 10mm is really grabbing my interest. Can any kind anons suggest a good ruleset for 10mm World War I?
Michael Carter
>a good ruleset for 10mm World War I? It's ancient now but there's GDW's Over The Top, which was designed for 6mm thru 15mm. More recently there's Great War Spearhead. We have the former in our folders but sadly not the latter.
There is also Contemptible Little Armies (which we have) but I think it was designed for 28mm. Might be worth a look nonetheless.
Gavin Flores
Great War Spearhead 2 sounds really good. I have a hardcopy on the way, but they sell it in PDF too.
Charles Lewis
Are there anymore Battlegroup scans than just those in the OP? I'm looking for Battlegroup Barbarossa and Battlegroup Blitzkrieg.
Daniel Torres
M8, why the fuck do you ask it every thread? If there is, it'll be uploaded to somewhere and added to the folder.
Luis Rodriguez
Not a big fan of Guy Windsor but it looks cool.
David Gutierrez
Westfront, Raging empires. There's one just called "WW1 Wargame Rules" which looks pretty solid, although its older.
They should all be in the OP mediafire folders
Asher King
Jesus that is dope, sauce?
Brandon King
Me because that fucker was wrong. Napoleon was outnumbered in most of his famous battles and yet loses less men than the armies he is facing. The strength of the levee-en-masse did not lay it it's huge numbers, it lay in the morale of the soldiers and flexibility it gave the officer corps to recruit from the ranks.
Just look at some numbers. >Austerlitz Napoopan outnumbered by 10.000 men, loses 20.000 men less than the enemy. >Jena-Auersted Napoopan outnumbered by more then 40.000 men. 20.000 losses less >Wagram Outnumbered by 30.000 Losses a couple of thousand less then the Austrian losses. >Leipzig Outnumbered 1-2, Allies suffer 30.000 casualties more.
Napoleon fought hard and smart. Except at waterloo He hardly ever relied on manpower (when he did in Russia he famously fucked it up).
Gavin Turner
How can you use "than" correctly in a sentence, then fuck it up two lines later?
Asher Barnes
>Except at waterloo And Borodino. Wtf happened? Inb4 kidney stones or other illnesses.
Nathan Anderson
Ok, also. Austerlitz was really a defensive battle in which he counterattacked.
Jena was the battle at which Napoleon commanded and there he was only outnumbered by about half of that, Davout at Auerstadt really pulled the miracle there.
Wagram was fought on a large flat field in which a huge concentration of artillery guaranteed that both sides were going to take large losses, and whoever's will held longest would win. Napoleon was hardly a stellar general here.
Leipzig was a PURELY defensive battle, hence the larger allied losses. (similar at Dresden, which was still a remarkable victory.
Napoleon campaigned STRATEGICALLY aggressively to put his opponent in a situation where they would have to defend untenable areas, or even attack him. He was not really any more successful on the attack than other "good" generals of his day on the tactical battlefield, see Waterloo, Borodino, the bloodbaths at Wagram.
Napoleon's early campaigns in Italy and 1805-1806 (whilst armies were still small enough for him to micromanage, and opposing armies still hadn't embraced army reforms in his model) have really gone a long way to disguising a lot of mediocre performances, Eylau (in the snow), Borodino, Waterloo. Napoleon had his share of tactical "ducks".
I'm not arguing here that Napoleon wasn't a great (if not the greatest) commander, but I would strongly argue that his genius was in Strategic and Operational scale, tactically he was above average but certainly remarkably often unimaginative. Almost all of his campaigns were excellent strategically, except for the highly perplexing decision making in the 1812 Russian Campaign.
Landon Morales
>but I would strongly argue that his genius was in Strategic and Operational scale, I'm the biggest Napoopanboo you will ever meet and I agree wholeheartedly
Camden Evans
>that pic >that video >the old lady calling americans and obama a bunch of cock suckers
topkek. Also plastic british airborne who look pretty sexy imo
Grayson Nelson
Definitely picking them up for my 33rd SS.
Robert Morris
I thought we already had plastic para's?
Asher Ross
Got my 1/72 VBL from Model MIniatures, gonna build that next week hopefully. Also got a set of 5 dudes who are significantly out of scale with the rest of my Elhiem french. Amusingly the FAMAS is pretty much identically sized between the two.
Ideally this is for those of you who bought the PDF and would like the printed version, but I can't really stop you if you want to buy it. If someone misses out, just let me know and I will add another discount or two.
There are only 5 discounted books available, for /hwg/ only.
Enjoy and happy gaming.
Colton Miller
ta, I just bought one. i previously bought the pdf
Zachary Lewis

>Order Contents: £6.24 >Shipping (Royal Mail 2nd Class): £4.36
Still got nothing on what they charge to ship cards, but then IIRC they're only printed in America.
Elijah Howard
They have printers in UK and US iirc. I would think cards would be cheaper to ship but I've never ordered any from them.
Lucas Brooks
They do print stuff in the UK, just not the cards, which makes it awfully hard to justify just picking up a deck or two. IIRC the shipping is awkward because thin books are cheaper to ship than thicker blocks of non-books.
Nolan Butler
I know its a shitty excuse but I have dyslexia, I fuck shit up all the time in my native tongue

I'm painting up some Napoleonic French line infantry from Warlord and I on every sprue there's a head with a chef's hat on. What kind of guy wore that hat? Can't find a picture of it now so here's a picture of Napoleon instead
Tyler Diaz
Guess you mean the foraging cap.
Joshua Walker
I was meaning to put my 1/72 figures on individual 25mm bases. The plan seemed all and well until I noticed the fact these guys are way too long for that. The MG measures at ~26mm and the K98 is about 28. What base do you guys recommend for using them in skirmish games?
