Tomb Terrain (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Marder to c/fantasywargaming
 

Tomb terrain piece made by Reaper. Was a fun build, especially the painting of the patina for the bronze parts. I added a bit of ivy, which i have not entirely finished since i photographed it though.

"This Gaming Life" is a website curated by Rick Priestley and contains ressources/army lists for Warlords of Erehwon.

 

Another piece of inspiration: This makeshift camouflage was often seen on West German vehicles until the 3-colour scheme replaced the earlier single-colour "Gelboliv". Done by vehicle crews it had no formalized pattern and can serve as a nice alternative to single colour German vehicles in your army.

West German Bundesgrenzschutz (Federal Border Guard) men firing an MG1 machine-gun. BGS troops used a derivate of Wehrmacht "swamp-camo" until 1976, when it was replaced by new green uniforms. Despite that some units have not received new green uniforms until the late 70s or early 80s.

Wargaming the West German BGS requires some kitbashing, which can be achieved best with Cold War West German troops, making use of the G3 rifles, the MG3 (Which stands in for the BGS MG1) and Uzis. An easy headswap with WW2 German troops can represent the older style helmets and field caps. Other weapons like the tripod mounted MG1, the medium mortar or the "Blindicide" recoilless rifle can be represented with WW2 MG42s, Wehrmacht medium mortars and Panzerschreck teams.

 

I am working on a large scale colour guide for uniforms and vehicle colours (Though i am doing it slowly and on the side, next to other projects).

I uploaded the current state as a preview here. Feel free to tell me how and if you like it!

 

Since the skeleton flag-carrier in the mantic skeleton box lacks a flag, i sculpted a ripped, old banner from greenstuff. I also added a little brazier with "magical" fire on top, to make the battle standard more unique.

Green Stuff Cape (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Marder to c/fantasywargaming
 

This is a cape i sculpted from green stuff for my undead knight. Was a fun little excercise to sculpt all those holes, tears and folds.

 

Two 3d printed Luchs 1A2 wheeled recon vehicles. Those two are on the lookout for East German troops, during a game of my custom Bolt Action Cold War ruleset.

A group of Panzer IV driving towards the american troops. All of them met a fiery demise in close combat with a group of Shermans.

This Tiger I was destroyed by a 76mm Sherman during my first 15mm Bolt Action game. Both surviving Tigers were also killed by the same Sherman. A true ace Gunner!

As cold war minis are not as ubiquitous as WW2 or fantasy minis i made a list for sourcing everything needed. I will try to keep the list updated. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

The List:

  • QRF Miniatures: Large source for 15mm vehicles and minis, including minor nations

  • Skytrex Miniatures: Some US, British and Soviet vehicles, including rarer Soviet command, FIST and radar vehicles

  • Battlefront Miniatures: Team Yankee range, basic range of infantry and vehicles for major and some minor nations, including plastic miniatures

  • Peter Pig Miniatures: Vietnam War miniatures for both sides, including vehicles. “Modern Africa” range, suitable for African conflicts

  • Quality Castings: Nice ranges for WP vehicles and Infantry, Vietnamese, North Koreans, Mid-East forces, US and British.

  • Flashpoint Miniatures: Large range of Vietnam era miniatures, 90s era US miniatures (Ranger/Delta Force), Somalians and Taliban

  • Roskopf Modelle: Good source for West-German vehicles, must be sourced from eBay though, because the company is defunct.

  • Oddzial Osmy: Good source for Polish and Soviet infantry

  • Thingiverse and Cults: Quite a lot of free vehicles can be downloaded, and 3D printed from there.

  • Etsy and Shapeways: Some useful 3D prints can be bought there.

  • Wargaming 3D: STLs for 3D printing can be sourced from there

  • ArmyBits: STLs for 3D printing can be sourced from there in addition to resin and metal models. A good variety of British, Soviet (Including VDV and Speznas) and US minis, including towed artillery and their crews.

  • Faller, Noch, Auhagen, Vollmer, Kibri: H0 scale buildings and accessoires, which also fit 1:100/15mm scale wargaming. Very useful for Cold War Germany/Central Europe.
