er in royal oak mi inside the box you will find one sprue and a set of bases the minis are multi part models that will assemble into two sniper priests the models are superbly cast in a medium gray polystyrene that displays an immense amount of detail with a good selection of options as to weaponry an idea just how detailed the models are can be gained from examining the twenty three page assembly guide not to worry if you have built a lego set with their step by step instructions you will feel right at home evocative cover art gives a good idea for painting read more posted by anton

these are 3 d printed buildings there is a bunch of other stuff too their catalog is expansive that are very well detailed and nicely characterful they are easy to paint as the detail is crisp and deeply molded i use a rattle can primer and americana water based paint and get excellent results a big plus is that these are fdm prints which means they are nearly as tough as a hockey puck and can survive a lot of rough handling posted by anton ryzbak at 3 49 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday may 1 2026 trying out a few things i started painting this guy as a test of how well printed minis look i have heard a lot of complaints about how minis printed using the fdm process turn out having just printed a batch of minis for the housemartin i took the liberty of printing another to slap some paint on i am using a stock bambu a1 mini with a 02mm tip and cheap filament from micro center the mini was printed standing with the usual supports generated by the bambu software the mini was primed using a rattle can of krylon matte white and painted using americana paints from hobby lobby i managed to snap off his staff while removing the supports but a spot of superglue set that to rights my meager painting skills provided this look no award winner but he will certainly be inspiring my dark ages troops he could use some more highlights shade and his gloves need a bit of refinement to be presentable the mini come from the cruciform order set from hollow crown miniatures posted by anton ryzbak at 1 04 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday april 28 2026 trench crusade prussian stosstruppen from archon studio fresh off the press we have the latest iteration of prussians to fight the forces of evil prussian stosstruppen those brave warriors that charge into battle without a moments hesitation this box was provided by the good folks at michigan toy soldier who are currently carrying the full line of plastic and resin miniatures for these rules this set is produced by archon studio out of poland and is molded in a solid gray plastic with no trace of flash and only the faintest hint of a mold line the kit will assemble into five figures that can be equipped in a variety of ways assembly instructions as well as free rules and mountains of lore can be accessed via a qr code on the outside of the package an idea that i wholly support these will mix well both in size and style with the previously released stosstruppen warband the front of the box they had me at the picklehaubs read more posted by anton ryzbak at 12 16 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday april 16 2026 more mucking about with 3d animation i spotted this over on the louis the xiv blog where he commented on a picture to 3d software i was impressed with what he had on display so i gave meshy a try and got this as a result a picture of a swedish dragoon from 1676 that i grabbed as a reference from a website my apologies to the artist i cannot recall where i found it this is an excellent bit of artwork and would make a nice model to 3d print so i gave it a go i just uploaded the image to the software and i got this in under two minutes it is a full 3d model that i can export to my bambu mini direct from the screen https sketchfab com 3d models b8045b5bb1e1478ba648db89b8c39077 i promptly started rummaging around through old files and found this magnificent looking lad that i turned into a 3d model the best part is that the software is so powerful that i didn t need to edit out the background shrubberies https www meshy ai s 3zkcaa here is a screenshot of the software in action i loaded the piture using the window in the upper left clicked om the generate button in the lower left and a minute later had a 3d model ready to send to my printer this is going to be a lot of fun posted by anton ryzbak at 1 17

hobby for over a half century i just don t have much need to go hunting that being said there are occasions where life just throws you a slow one right down the center and you simply have to take a swing i was presented with just such an occasion at battlefields this last saturday a couple of opportunities that were just too good to let pass behold the booty i secured on the field of battlefields as i was running my demo game of midgard the housemartin was perusing the flea market and spotted this assemblage turks lots of them and painted to boot this bevy of 15mm beauties was offered at the princely sum of us 20 the minis alone would cost thrice that to but as bare metal i have been looking to add to my 15mm turks so that they could play a more prominent role in my occasional renaissance campaign despite the need to re base them i snagged these with unseemly haste having finished my game and packing up my toys i took a spin around the flea market tables myself i was delighted to find this little gem for only ten dollars i have an interest in off the beaten track campaigns so this buttered both sides of my toast the manchurian campaign between japan and russia and the second sino japanese conflict with a digestif of the lopsided russian riposte in 1945 to finish the volume posted by anton ryzbak at 8 48 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to

call in your special forces operators in most cases these guys represent the end product of incredibly intense and realistic training seasoned with years of experience and provided with the very best equipment money can imagine in other cases you have military corporation larpers or third world despots that buy stuff that looks cool but lack the training and discipline either way wargames atlantic has given you the plastic soldiers to accomplish your mission as we have come to expect from wargames atlantic the minis are cleanly cast in medium gray plastic with no flash and only the barest hint of mold lines on each of the four sprues you will find five minis four standing and one kneeling these are accompanied by a large selection of weapons and a superabundance of heads the weapons are

civilization via the cause of your choice zombies viruses robot revolution politics etc etc armed to the teeth and wearing comfortable shoes these ladies are ready to tackle the toughest situations there is none of the fantasy scifi archetypes here everyone is normally proportioned and decently dressed the figures are normally and naturally proportioned and are of slighter build than the male survivors the six figures are all standing and want heads and arms for completion read more posted by anton ryzbak at 6 38 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to

28mm wargames atlantic civilians and survivors 1 men so the zombie plague economic collapse et al apocalypse has come and gone and you are one of the lucky survivors you have to head out into the brave new world and do that whole survival thing well wargames atlantic has just released a set of 24 male survivors so you can play out your mission before heading out into the madness this set provides six different poses all standing and moving with varying degrees of alacrity the heads as usual lots of them and arms are all cast as individual items to provide maximum flexibility you can send your guys out bare knuckled or armed with a good variety of modern assault rifles and just about anything in between i am certain this set will be popular with converters such as i who will revel in the endless opportunities with all the spare arms and armaments on the technical side there are four sprues with the minis in them and three sprues of extra arms and firepower all of these are molded in the medium gray plastic that is standard with wargames atlantic products without a trace of flash and only the slightest of mold lines these will also mix nicely with the other sets from wargames atlantic so i can look forward to grafting arms and heads back and forth between the existing ranges you can model anything from peaceful protestors to the street gangs of a third world
