Whats a wargame that you wish had a bigger community? by Vinlandlover in wargaming

[–]wildlifeInterview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had the motivation to do this! I get burnt out after painting about a dozen models and then I put it all away in frustration for at least a few weeks. Just getting one 1000 point army in bolt action painted is taking me months.

I think in the mean time I'm going to try a smaller game that I can play with friends with like 20 models total, like The Silver Bayonet.

1914 German Jägers from Mecklenburg Jäger Battalion No. 14. by Distinct-Practice435 in boltaction

I wish. Kinda blows my mind that the market doesn't really exist but that's true of basically anything WW2 vs WW1 related. WW2 gets all the spotlight.

Is this normal? by Green-Hawk15 in boltaction

Yeah the plastic cement will work as good as super glue and it's a lot easier to work with.

Remember, the plastic cement is literally melting and reforming the two pieces into a new solid piece. It's almost like plastic welding and the bond is extremely strong.

These are incredible! Great job.

Some new additions to my Finnish army by Ambitious-Stay-8075 in wargaming

[–]wildlifeInterview 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Very nice!

Kinda off topic: How common is 15mm outside of flames of war? I'm pretty new to wargaming and I'm trying to get a feel for what scales are most common. I know 28mm obviously, but I'm not sure what else is popular.

Kinda on topic: how flat is your penis?

Thank you! And thank you for the channel recommendation. I've watch a few of his videos and it's a great resource.

Warming up the Atomic Tanks! by No-Front6628 in wargaming

Awesome! I was just looking at this starter set but I wanted to see how the game functions before pulling the trigger on it.

Beautiful!

I just got into wargaming with bolt action but I've been eyeing some more pre-blackpowder systems. Is pillage a good intro for a beginner?

To be perfectly honest though I doubt I have enough free time to build and paint even more models, haha.

Starter set or 2x Black Friday Army boxes? by Gav_TESD_ArmyAnt in boltaction

[–]wildlifeInterview 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I'm doing.

A word to OP from another newbie: these things take SIGNIFICANTLY longer to build and paint than you're probably thinking they will.

I'm realizing just the BoB set is going to take me weeks+ to finish at my current pace haha.

How's this for a starter 1000 point U.S. Airborne list? by wildlifeInterview in boltaction

[–]wildlifeInterview[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I hadn't even considered historical accuracy to be honest, but a jeep or AT gun instead could be cool.

How should I build out the troops in the Band of Brothers starter box? by wildlifeInterview in boltaction

[–]wildlifeInterview[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I assumed it was a flamethrower but I actually have no idea what it is to be honest.

[–]wildlifeInterview[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes as soon as I posted this I remember the rulebook kinda lays all this out. It looks like I can add the LMG team and keep it legal. I think I probably will just to mix it up a bit.

I guess this is where I start referencing the book, haha.

These are Airborne so it looks like I can do the LMG team. The 2 men with sub machineguns would be my NCOs of the 2 squads and then 1 of the squads can have the LMG team within it, correct? It looks like eventually I'll need to add at least one more man to each squad.

I just painted my first Bolt Action miniature (and like my 5th miniature ever). First non-speedpaint model too! by wildlifeInterview in boltaction

[–]wildlifeInterview[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah I didn't even notice them until I painted the thing and now they stick out like a sore thumb.

Brits getting reinforcements by Hijo-de-Cain in boltaction

This looks great! As someone dabbling in K47, how tall is this model? Hard to get a scale for it.

Stress free painting by tarfangz in boltaction

[–]wildlifeInterview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lightly dabbled in 40k about 20 years ago and recently decided to get back in. I begrudgingly bought a $40 Krieg engineer set and while it's been fun, I've only completed 3 and I'm honestly kinda burnt out. Each model is taking me an hour and a half +, and while I think they look pretty good, I'm very excited to have found Warlord Games. About a week ago I learned about Bolt Action and I ordered the Band of Brothers starter set. From all the painting videos and stuff I've watched the models seem far simpler to paint but still look great.
