>>7598069
Are these supposed to look like swedish troops?

ECW, 15mm Peter Pig.

Really my only complaint with these systems is that I have never found anyone I'd wish to play with.

The two people I know who play Flames of War sneer at Warhammer (not 40k, Fantasy) for being childish and simple and dislike Battletech for reasons unknown, and the only Wargaming club I know of Exclusively plays these games and look down upon Flames of War for not being realistic ENOUGH.

So yeah, once I find someone who'll make these games fun, I'll look into it. Thanks for the help, though.

>>7598227
Yes?

Ancient, 15mm Old Glory.

Ancient, 6mm Baccus.

>>7598254
You want to tell those people that FoW started life as a 40K mod.

Also, these guys make some awesome historical rulesets, mainly skirmish stuff.

Renaissance, 28mm various manufacturer.

>>7598256
But they are not right! Swedish are around 1,5 meters high!

WW2, 6mm GHQ.

ACW, 28mm Sash and Saber.

Napoleonic, 10mm Flashing Blade.

Middle Age, 28mm Gripping Beast.

Guess that's enough.

Where's my Vietnam/Dien Bien Phu miniatures!?

I guess I'll have to settle for those bad ass WW1 and WW2 ones.

Some Scarab WWI stuff.

Austro-Hungarian command

Austro-Hungarian Storm Troopers

Scarab Italian command

Italian machine gun team. With an officer apparently doing the gangsta-style sideways pistol thing.

French rifle grenadiers

French communications unit

>>7598462
He is just pointing. Italians lack eyes on their backs.

>>7598487
Which is funny because you think they would have evolved back eyes long ago what with all the retreating.

>>7598490
Retreating is an insidious tactic, because then you'll have to invade and add Italy to your empire. And then is when you'll have problems, in three years you'll leave them alone or lose all your money on help funds.

I know I shouldn't think like this but every time I see 28mm historicals from the renaissance upwards I automatically start thinking how I can convert them to Imperial Guard.

I cannot recommend Impetus and its free counterpart Basic Impetus enough. Its that damn good a system.

Also, Another modern game thats rather fun: AK47 Republic. For those games with modern nations that are not in any way toting 1st world tech unless its been sold/donated to them by the CIA or similar. Gets a bit orky with lots of technicals.

Theres also the Wild West in various flavours from movie to historical simulation.

>>7598534
Are these the new Perry plastics?

I guess this would be a good thread to ask in.

Do you guys know of any civil war era american cavalry in a size compatible with 40k?

>>7598585
yes, yes those are.

These though are not Perry plastics though but the 100 years war metals.

>>7598589
You could try these:
http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=pry_acw_fre_cav_101_000

Pictures is a Perry plastic cuirassier compared with empire pistoliers horses, historical miniatures are mostly true scale and WH miniatures are heroic scale.

>>7598640
Heroic scaler looks fatter and uglier

>>7598534
>AK47 Republic
Just googled it, I came.

>>7598640

Yeah, Perry ACW cavalry scale up OK, and they'd look seamless if you were using old Rogue Trader laspistols on them.

I've started getting interested in historic minis as well lately, which I suppose means I'm getting old. However, I'm not sure I'd be able to get enough players to actually get something going.

One problem with getting started with historics for me is that not only do you need other players, you also need other players who are interested in armies of the same era and geographic area as you. A lot of the rules allows you to make pretty much anything within a very broad limit, which means I could do a an army of vikings and find out that the only other player in my area has ancient egyptians. Thus, there will be no way for us to play without a very silly time travel scenario.

>>7598692
Just find an appropriate movie. Loads of gamers change genre because of a recent movie with a big battle in it they like. Like Gladiator created loads of roman players. WW2 is perpetually popular, with lots of big budget movies. Vietnam less so because most people think of the movies where the fights are small skirmishes in jungle rather than say, the big urban battles.

>>7598640
nice, thanks

>>7598751
That's because most people don't have tastes by themselves, but get them from pop culture.

>>7598751

Hm... good idea. And I know that there's an autistic little brat hanging around our clubhouse that can go on and on forever about ancient greek strategies and howitzers, so he might be interested. However, I'd have to paint all his armies for him, which would be annoying.

Anachronism wars!!!.

>>7598809
It would work if the armies are basically from ancient,middle and modern age. I doubt a roman legion could stand against a nazi regiment.

>>7598745
You could try DBA, it's a very simple and popular game and requires only a dozen bases, because each base can represents some thousand men.
You can paint a army in about a week.

If you get people interested then and want something bigger and more complex you can use the minis for Impetus or Field of Glory without having to rebase.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bellis_Antiquitatis
http://fanaticus.org/DBA/index.html

>>7598809
Is not a bad thing, several systems like the DBx series or Impetus manage to do this quite well by covering a large number of similar periods in one set.

>>7598822

Yes, but even if you use a system like Fields of Glory, which works for any army that doesn't have gunpowder, you still risk getting silly combinations like Holy Roman knights vs Roman Empire legionaries or vikings vs samurai. Not saying that this wouldn't be awesome, but it kinda ruins the point of playing a "realistic" game.

>>7598835
Byzantine army vs. Napoleonic army.

>>7598890
>vikings vs samurai
YES

I think it could be a good idea if people starts to post belic history essay titles.

>>7598921
Dude, don't say it again or I'll have another orgasm.

>>7598937
vikings vs samurai

>>7598921

That's the kind of stuff you can do in FoG, anyway.

>>7598906

not so viable due to change of scale in amount of people. you can kind of get away with it with early renaissance and earlier but after that armies start getting too big to be comparable. You go from 20,000 a side being gigantic to, well, by Napoleonics you can stick another 0 on there. even small engagements at later periods end up being way bigger than average battles of medieval and earlier.

>>7598890
I played a very interesting Samuri vs. Romans game once. The Romans lost by the way, largely just because the Samuri had a fuck load of attacks, and everyman came with a bow and two swords or some shit. We largely got gunned down by arrow fire before we could even reach their front lines. And then they charged...

>>7598937

Using the armylists, you can also make... let's see...

Spartans vs Mongols, Saladin vs Alexander, Aztec vs Celts, Crusaders vs Spartacus and so on and on. If it doesn't have a gun, it's there.

>>7598971
Was played in warhammer ancient battles with the infamous 'you get 7 heros cos lulz' list?

>>7598971
WTF?!
The legionaries didn't had the testudo rule?.

>>7598939
NoooOOOHHH!!!!...

I wonder if you are allowed to play games from the WH Historical line in an GW shop.

So yeah, all the choises are a problem with me. It's hard enough to pick an army in a fantasy or sci-fi game, but there you just have five to seven factions to chose from. Not EVERY ARMY IN THE KNOWN HISTORY OF THE WORLD. At the moment I kinda feel like vikings or some african army with a lot of skin showing (I know that sounds weird, but for some reason I really like painting brown skin).

>>7599033
oh god what

>>7599049

GW have no historical minis AFAIK, so I'd say no.

>>7599001
I could understand that if the japs had tanegashima but no if they used bows.

You know what? Fuck history. I'm getting a box of these boys and then play against my brother's Perry Miniatures samurai.

>>7599131
Thats the spirit!

>>7599211

Is that some motherfucking mongols vs viking action? Hell yeah!

The best fucking part to historicals is buying some many similar products from other companies and mashing them up yet its still likely to be accurate.

If you excuse me I have some wargames factory and warlord romans and celts to mash

Oh and pic related

Teutonic knights here, suck it templars

>>7599591
argh forgot pic

>>7599571
Sorry, but "Army of Antiquity" just sounds like A) all the armies are grumpy old senile men, or B) all units are old tables, desks and candlesticks. Both scenarios would be interesting, though.

Historicals looks like great fun, unless you play WWI and later periods.

Too much green and brown.

>>7599631

Agreed, the colours are the main reason I haven't tried Flames of War. The minis are great and it's an interesting period of history, but practically all the armies are various shades of brown, gray or green, and they all look the same from a distance.

>>7599631
Correction:
To much artillery and so little infantry fun.

>>7599594
Its is actually one of the best buys for a historical player!

It has armies from romans to samurais. doesnt delve too deep but its jawsome


BTW anyone got Warhammer: The Great War?

>>7599694

How similar to WH Fantasy is it? The main reason for me to find WH alternatives is that I really don't like the rules. On the other hand, most historical rulesets are so mindblowingly complex that it's impossible to have fun with them.

>>7599729
Warhammer Ancient Battles?

Its basically Warhammer Fantasy 6th edition I think except no magic. You know they have things like 2 hand weapons, 4 people is a ranks, stff like that.

>>7599594

I don't think you understand the difference between Antiquity (a group of historical eras) and antiques (old desks and tables).

This is not due to "Armies of Antiquity" being a bad name, it's just due to you not knowing what words mean.

>>7599729
Many basic thinks are similar to WHFB, you can get scans from /rs/ or http://www.avaxhome.ws/.

But WAB 2 will be released this or next month.

>>7599738

Meh, I pass then. I play orks in 40k, so I'm getting tired of rolling ten billion dice and then count hits, only to roll again for wounding.

>>7599752
Wait they're still going?

>>7599740

I am aware of the difference between those words, what I described was my instant reaction, before I saw what it actually said.

I know this is 4chan, but you still shouldn't assume that everyone you meet is a retard.

>>7599786
Yeah:
http://wabforum.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=56

They also plan to release rules for 28mm Napoleonic this year and something else I can't remember right now.

There is any chance for do a Timurid army?

Can someone screencap these?
I had just finished when Paint froze up on me.

>>7599876
Mongolians, turks and indian war elephants?.
DO WANT!!!!!!.

The problem of these games is the bad quality of the minis.

>>7600183
You forgot your image!

>>7600334
I think he is being honest. Compare to normal WH and you'll see they lack quality, and all look stiff like sticks.

>>7600756
WHF:
fuck yeah,FANTASY!!.It doesn't require any mental effort from my side.
WHH:
Noooooo!, I must study history for learn how my army works!. I always failed in history!.

>>7600756
You so supaficial.

>>7601141
The true beauty of the miniatures is in the material used.
