That is an excellent idea! If I just try apply them to the front shields that are easily reachable that it an exxcelent explanation for the back ones if it becomes clear I'm not going to be able to reach. Also thanks for the tip on the white background, that's definitely caught me out before with other transfers.

For the reds I used Blood Angels Contrast paint initially, then cleaned up / highlighted using Scarlett Blood from Vallejo. Really nice paint that's got an almost orange hue to it. Although I've got an old bottle of the old formula (grey lids) not the new ones (black lids on the bottles) I'm not sure if the reformulation has had any effect on this colour (I know it definitely has a bit on their Earth paint that I use a lot of).

@@TabletopSagas-mg7zb Thanks. It looks excellent

Yeah from what I understand from the tours at Warlord Games a common issue is accuracy of turrets on miniatures (they're often shorter and/or thicker than they should be). Unfortunately it's a limitation of the casting process, there's only so thin and so long you can have stick coming off the main body of the object without increasing the likelihood of damage to either the model or the mold itself, or even just the liquid metal can't get far enough down before cooling. As with most things in life its a balancing act between quality, reliability and quantity. But if that's the case and the choice is between a shorter barrel or no Sherman at all I know which I'll pick haha

@@TabletopSagas-mg7zb I remember the ROCO minitanks I used to get as a kid , they were made in Austria , and accurate to scale . The Shermans were the early war example , with the split hatch . I loved them .

Thanks for the Sub, glad to have you here. Yeah an extra edge highlight isn't a bad idea actually, I need to go back in and do the decals soon so I'll bare that in mind as an improvement I could do at the same time.

haha didn't expect you would come across this but glad you approve :)

Thanks, really glad you enjoyed the fogures and my video. Welcome to the channel.

Thanks, glad you like the units

Great to hear, ive really liking their sculpts and its great to see people are abpe to give more niche areas of wargaming some love. Working on a full video showcasing their minis at the minute, hopefully i can bring more attention to their offerings.

I can imagine you must get a fair few recommendations as pretty similar hobbies, I've always liked the idea of painting busts theres so much you can do with them. But regardless of what the item is for glad to hear you liked tge painting.

Happy to help bring some attention to the era for wargaming. It definitely is a shame, the more I'm finding out about it the more interested I get, even in terms of research theres so much less to find than european medeivals but its just as interesting. I cant wait to paint up some fire lances and figure out some rules for them.

Thanks for the compliment on the painting, I do appreciate it. I have checked some out yeah, came across a sculpter called Ten Kingdoms and showed off some of their minis in my last video, just painting some up not and the details are really nice to paint.

Thanks, definitely happy with how this army is looking

Thanks, glad you like the mini's

Thanks for the compliment on the painting. Definitely and interesting army, really keen to get them on the table now and see how they play

Thanks for the kind message. It's definitely not one I see gamed ... at all really, which is a shame as I've done more research into medeival asia its a really interesting period.

Thanks for the comment, glad you liked them. Yeah happy with how they came out in the end all things considered.

Thanks for the compliment on the faces, I'm really happy with how they came out all thing considered. Some of them definitely aren't too bad whwn I look back on them (except the helmet one, not sure its clear in the video but that minis face was really none existant). I have indeed seen the announcement, I'm definitely going to be picking up a box or 2 too try out.

Glad you enjoy seeing the minis, it might not get much reach but definitely showing off the 'rarer' choices out there is important, they so often get drowed out by other louder marketing, if i hadn't been just randomly searching the WG website i would have never known these existed.

Thats actually a great idea to scale up the numbers in the game without adding rules-wise. Hope your project goes well. Glad your happy with the scale, I'm convinced its the best balance between still looking good and not taking too long to paint for larger scale engagements.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, my app didnt send any notifications. I won't say to much (I don't want to risk the scuplter getting in trouble) but I'd recommend checking out cults3d as a great place to find "similar" 8mm STLs.

Ive been thinking about picking so.e of those up as well, nice models and good way to add some variety. Minor clans is definitely a good way to go, if I do another band I will go for something less recognisable.

Thanks glad you like them, happy with how they look given its basically just basecoat and a wash so they paint up super quick.

Thanks for the advice, I was worried about the audio level in this one (still figuring that you), I'll keep it in mind for my next one. Glad you enjoyed it anyway though.

Thanks really appreciate it, these mini's are great sculpts and really happy with how the paint scheme brought them out.

Thanks mate, didnt expect you to check it out but glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, reaply happy how these came out and looking forward to seeing them in games soon

Thabks for the comment, glad you like them. Hoping I can get this finished off in the near future now I've done most the work.

Unfortunately I couldn't, i was 7 tanks and 2 titans short by the end. But given my opponent was still building his when I showed up for the game don't think I did to bad haha

Thank you, glad you like them.

Thanks for the tip I hadnt thought of checking out ilkhanate, on that idea there might be some rus or polish for the golden horde as well. Thanks again, great idea :)

@@TabletopSagas-mg7zb You can also check for the illustrated folios online of some versions of the Jami‘ al-tavarikh of Rashid al Din

Thabks I'll keep looking, i must have dug through a few hundred osprey books on amazon but I'll see if i can track down any OOP stuff as well

Thank you, glad you like the look of them.

That is something I've noticed as well and definitely smaller scale is something I want to focus on, so I'm also thinking of doing terraon and eventually battle reports when I have enough. If you are interested in Pendraken ones especially, dont worry I've already got plans to use a lot of their originals and the TB Line for islamic and eastern europe so there will in the near future be some examples of those. I'm also looking forward to later in the year when they are planning to get more of the TB Line into production, you can bet I'll be showing those on the channel as well.

@@TabletopSagas-mg7zb Excellent. I have actually been thinking of doing a Warhammer-esque gaming system, but with a homebrew setting of lower fantasy, so mostly humans. Think Mount and Blade, if you've ever played that, and then the Pendor mod. Something along those lines. I always loved the imagery of early Warhammer, think 4th edition, but never liked the scale of the battles. Way too few models. So downsizing that and placing 4 or so models on one base, so to speak... Would be amazing to me. So, I will be keeping an eye out on what you will be showing. Looking forward to it.

Yeah I loved the old m&b warbands, they had some brilliant mods spent more hours than I'd care to admit to playing haha. Lower style fantasy is definitely good, have you tried Warmaster Revolution? Sounds similar to what your looking for and theres some excellent 3d sculpters producing minis for it (have a few armies myself im thinking of putting up on the channel in the future).

@@TabletopSagas-mg7zb All the sculpts meant for Warmaster are way too silly for me. They look goofy, and they always focus on the goofiest parts of Warhammer, which I always hated. For example, I like the idea of Skaven, but I don't like them running around in Doomwheels. That's just dumb. So, something more along the lines of LotR style is more to my liking. I like Copplestone's range of Dwarfs and Orcs, for example. A shame they have so few models. I am sure I can cobble together something cool with Pendraken's range as well.

Thanks, yeah I was quite impressed myself. I painted these off while I had some time off work though and some plans fell through so I basically just had a week of nothing to do but paint. Safe to say my rate has slowed a fair bit since. Colours are definitely a problem there doesn't seem to be much good resources on them, I know Osprey are coming out with a book on the Mongols that looks really useful but it isn't due to release until March I believe, and that was a little to long for me to wait haha. These are in 10mm scale, I chose it as when scaling 28mm figures from inches scale to centimetres it would out to about 11mm so 10 was the closest I could get. I did consider 15mm myself but I was struggling to find other nations that fit the early 13th century I'm going for. There was a few really nice ones that I found for 15mm based in USA and then a few in the UK, since I'm UK based myself it made the most sense for avoiding import tax and long delivery times.

@@TabletopSagas-mg7zb Lol, I'm doing a fantasy thing. Some muppet posted that the Mongols would annihilate a USMC Regiment because they would break and be chased down. But he took all the equipment away from them and left them only with their AR15 assault rifles. So I am going to game it based on the premise that the Marines are out of place, they don't have armour, airpower or heavy artillery. However they will have section MG's, Coy MG's and Reg MG's, plus mortars, the heavy weapons support Coy and snipers. Plus of course the standard kit out for a USMC squad. Laser sighting, hand held drones for reccy, snipers, body armour which given its properties is more than capable of defeating arrows, and combined with 18" shell scrapings would be more than sufficient protection. The Mongol force size is to be a Tumen, 10,000 Mongols, capable of their biggest attack units, five waves of a thousand men. I believe a USMC Regt can be up to 1400 men with all the ancillaries. But the Mongols would be able to put two massive charges in from two directions. Oh, I forgot claymores. Given how Omdurman turned out in a very similar set up I just can't see the Mongols be successful, especially as they were not stupid and knew when to withdraw.

Sounds like an interesting one to play out, not sure where you'd find a system that even closely represents the difference in firepower of a modern rifle compared to a bow. Id have to agree with you seems unlikely the mongols would fair well, even if the USMC only had their rifles, the efficiency of modern firearms is terrifying compared to any that came before it, like the bow.

I didn't actually think to ask when I was there tbh, it was over christmas/new year I popped in though so I don't know if anyone was in to. But it's okay I've since stocked up on plenty to see me through.
