#28mm scale

[zilentis]

While I much prefer to make brighter minis, I’ve always wanted a go at trying todo a Turnip28 mini. While it’s still brighter than most lol, I’m really happy with it’s style and basing.

Turnip28 is a grimdark setting where root-vegetable people fight each other in muddy lands, he’s a carrot man!

It’s time to break open this relic and get stuck into building an army for Warhammer: The Old World!

I’ve had this Warhammer Fantasy 6th Edition starter set for years, and was waiting for the right time to open it, that time has come as I’ve been really enjoying seeing all TOW armies springing up everywhere. This was the set that got me into Warhammer almost 25 years ago, and the two armies inside (The Empire and Orcs & Goblins) have always been my favourite factions for that reason.

I do have a large Orcs & Goblins army, but never managed to paint an Empire army fully, so now is the time to achieve that hobby goal!

I’ll be painting the army in the classic colour scheme of Talabheim, as that was what drew me all those years ago. The Orcs will be painted in the classic scheme too, but Empire will be the main focus for the next while.

Can’t wait to get the army started!

Happy Hobbying,

Dave

Well, sadly I have discovered that the thing that basically everyone told me was true. I got a sprue of Afghan Tribesmen from Wargames Atlantic in the mail and they are indeed just Too Small to be fitted with 40k arms and used in with 40k dudes. I had hoped otherwise but it’s good to see the scale myself. Tfw your lasgun is as tall as you are:

I’m glad I got the single sprue of these guys for $10 instead of the whole box for $35. Yes technically it’s a worse cost per model but it’s smaller overall.

Much like these miniatures.

#40k #Wargames Atlantic #it turns out 28mm is not always 28mm #when you are GW your 28mm is uhhh much bigger than everyone else's #''Heroic Scale'' yeah sure whatever #I will say the GW Heroic Scale minis do indeed look better on the tabletop #tabletop wargaming #miniatures gaming #historical miniatures

My first batch of even smaller little dudes!

I love painting this scale so much. Progress feels so much faster and I don't get wrapped up in the detail like I do with 28mm GW minis.

I also had my first foray into using oil washes on these and, boy howdy, am I a convert now. The way they flow into the cracks and panel lines is so nice and convenient at this size. Pair that with the fact that they can be removed and cleaned up after with mineral spirits and I'd say oil washes are straight up magical.

These only took me so long because I kept stopping to drive them around my painting desk and make tank noises. Next up is a wing of Avenger strike fighters.

"Are you feeling it now Mr Krabs?"

I've recently been getting back into painting miniatures, something I haven't really done since I was a teenager.

I've done a few now so I might start posting them here.

This is a Chaos Dwarf I got from Checkpoint Miniatures it was sculpted by Mark Sims. It’s 28mm scale and made of white metal

I've painted a few more Chaos Dwarfs that I'll probably post too.

I was at the discount book store today and I found a pack of Mantic Games terrain for the Walking Dead wargame for $20. I've been looking for a miniature pickup truck for a project I'm working on, so I grabbed it. I actually really like what I got so here's a mini review.

The box comes with 2 trucks, 2 cars, 6 barricades, and 8 piles of junk/objectives (2 of each sculpt). The cars and trucks are completely hollow with no underside, so they're light models, easy to store, and easy to modify if you need to convert and repurpose them for any reason like I plan to do.

The scale of the terrain looks good for any 28mm/Heroic Scale Wargame. It should be perfect for any Modern, Post-Apocalyptic, or Sci-fi wargame. I tested the scale with a pair of old Space Marines but they also look really good next to this Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout Wasteland Warfare.

Anyway, it looks like this box runs for $30-60. If you're looking for scatter terrain and can find it at a lower price point, I think this is a great set to grab.

my brain has been so scorched by GW pricing that the idea of getting 52 good quality 28mm scale infantrymen for under 30 dollars is almost inconceivable

For a tabletop game I really enjoy called Frostgrave, you’re encouraged to come up with anything for miniatures. It started with just some Benders for Wizards, but I ended up making a whole band of ATLA minis

Here’s what they looked like unpainted

After a week of steady painting, I’ve finished the lovely Realmscape Objectives set for AoS.

These are awesome little pieces, full of details and character. I painted them up to match the rest of my AoS terrain, so they should fit in nicely.

I’m particularly happy with how the large banner turned out, I painted it to match the colours of my Anvils of the Heldenhammer army.

Happy Hobbying!

The "I Am The Law" starter set for the Judge Dredd miniatures game from Warlord Games! Painted them up this weekend, as I hope to con some friends into a game soon.

Having painted models just helps sell people on the hobby, imo, and this was a super low-effort method so I can hopefully demonstrate how easy it is to get into! Mostly speedpaints and a high-contrast slapchop.

I'm still not used to actual 28mm truescale, especially bare heads. Still used to the ambiguous, semi-heroic scale of modern GW.
