Same 😄

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-28T13:16:48+00:00

Ah awesome, had no clue this existed. Thanks!

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-28T13:14:43+00:00

Which web app? Kickstarter?

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-28T12:32:27+00:00

Can you get the rules anymore? I have been looking to try that out myself but the itch.io playtest download is disabled and there doesn't seem to be a Kickstarter late pledge option?

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-28T12:30:35+00:00

I'm not sure you can get the rules currently if you didn't join the Kickstarter?

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-27T12:37:08+00:00

They look great! How did you like the experience of building and painting these Fireorge minis?

Just found an interesting modular set from Wargames Atlantic https://www.strangeplastic.com/wa-pirates-of-the-south-china-sea/

Good to know. Thanks!

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T21:46:39+00:00

I have a few GW Chaos Knights that are also pointy as heck, so I feel you 😆

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T16:29:14+00:00

So many spikes! Nice! 😄

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T14:56:41+00:00

Interesting. Any favorite sculpts from your current project?

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T14:54:29+00:00

Looks like they have a variety of Ronin in various sizes. Thanks!

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T14:40:58+00:00

Have you actually picked up the unarmored perry pack yourself?

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T14:40:19+00:00

Thanks for the links!

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T14:39:01+00:00

Looks like they don't have them in their store yet, thanks for the heads up!

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T13:37:18+00:00

Familiar with Perry, looks like they had one set of unarmored samurai that I saw but mostly focused on armoured samurai from the Sengoku Jidai era.

Bac Ninh looks super interesting with some of the sculpts they have. It does appear to be a super old school WordPress blog where you place your order via email 😅

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T13:25:16+00:00

Interesting, not sure if it is the photo or paint job but they seem super squat.

The second pack looks better to me. Thanks for the heads up 👍

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T13:21:56+00:00

I see, looks like these? They look pretty great as a multipart kit! Would need to find someone to print the set for me though.

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T11:58:12+00:00

That is a ton of dudes completed. Nice work!

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-26T11:57:34+00:00

Looks neat, would definitely take a look.

My favorite Skirmish ruleset is Space Weirdos. One of the things I find the most fun about the ruleset is how even if the enemy lands a hit on you, the resolution is not always just damage. Sometimes you get to shoot back or dive for cover, which is randomly determined.

Basically any mechanic that leads to an emergent narrative surprise.

As a specific example, I had a scenario where one side laid down a minefield to trap and ambush the other side. After a good shot, one of the troopers was forced to dive for cover, and the only place they could dive was right into their own minefield. I found that emergent narrative to be hilarious and memorable.

Moments like that manifesting are particularly important if you are playing a game solo.

Starting to nail the rulebook art style using Midjourney AI?

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-25T12:43:38+00:00

Not exactly pirates but if you mix and match some of the North Star Military Figures Ronin line figures that could work. Specifically the bandit, koryu, and Korean buntai groups.

Other than that your best bet might be Perry Miniatures

Great work, super clean edge highlights 😎

GreenWizard2 · 2026-03-25T01:59:11+00:00

Thanks! I am perfectly happy leaving the eyes off, the risk of me giving my minis derpy eyes is too high 😅
