    Huzzah!

     

    Should we have sub-boards that focus on different scales?

    • Smaller than 6mm
    • 6mm
    • 15mm
    • 28mm
    • Bigger than 28mm

    Or is that crazy talk?

    Well if people use the tags on their posts you can just search for the scale you like.

    That is not a yes or no by the way.

    It’s been like 7-8 years since I posted on a forum,

    but I like the subject matter too much so I registered as soon as I was made aware of this,

    I am into 15mm, mostly near-future kind of stuff,

    hope to see this grow!

    Thank you!
    How did you become aware may I ask?

    Building a better community, one day at a time.

    I think we need sub categories…

    or fixed labels?

    Glenn (Sonny)  Wilson, via Lead Adventure Forum (LAF.)

     

    Past 6 mm/25+ mm SF gamer (although fantasy, VSF, and historical represent most of my miniatures [around 400 Der Kriegspieler dwarf figures which is about 25 – 33%  of my dwarf forces for example] and trending away from 25+ mm in all formats where I can find 15/18 mm figures to replace them and adding 3 mm SF/Historical figures. )

    A fan of Two Hour War Games rules, a fan of In Her Majesty’s Name rules, and looking forward to retiring from US Department of Defense/Intelligence Agency career  on December 31, 2016.  Currently “rationalizing” by downsizing my Areas of Interest (AOIs) in the hobby.  I also make Bead Jewelry for family and close friends.

    Looking forward to this replacing TMP and supplementing LAF.

     

    Gracias,

    Why is that?

    Something did happen to TheMiniaturesPage which I was not aware of?

    Let me know, please.

    The whole proliferation the of sub boards thing at TMP was the start of the slippery slope for me so would not like to see it happen here or elsewhere

    Thanks for joining.
    I just want to clarify, this is intended as forum and gaming news website in its own right.
    Not a version of anything or meant as a replacement of anything.

    If people chose to make this their default site for their hobby then super ace of course!

    So, lasers or railguns?

    Hi eveyone,

    44 year old who likes playing with toys, but where is the harm in that then 🙂

    I would like to see this forum and lead adventure flourish so good luck to both

    I am trying (after trying it for years, leaving, coming back, and being disappointed again,) not to bash TMP and the Editor (with whom I have personal/style (for lack of a better term <DELETED> ) differences.)

     

    Been There, got the T-shirt, gave it to Good Will (how ironic an expression in this context,) and removed the book mark from my computer.

    And that is hopefully my last post about TMP.  Ever.

     

    Rail Guns and Lasers

    I like chocolate, Vanilla, and not Strawberry Ice Cream (no Neapolitan, please,) and I like differing forums for different aspects of the hobby.  I look forward to a focused on the hobby discussion about 3/6/15 (okay some 25+) mm miniatures war games (Figures, Rules, Terrain, etc.,) and not personalities.

    After a bit of a break from scifi, I am coming back into it, though it seems I may be transitioning to 6mm to  a large extent. I think the goal will be 6mm for military actions and 15mm for more character driven stuff.

    I imagined that’d suit you well 🙂

    I was going to reply to your 6mm thread here but for some reason it insists I have to log in, though I’m already logged in.

    I’ll have some pics of your 6mm infantry painted up, though my paint jobs are pretty amateur compared to yours.

    Hey all,

    This is Jeff Worley from the 15mm sci fi Facebook page and other forums.  Looking forward to watching the site grow.  Also, much in favor of using tags and not sub-forums.

    Here are the Sci-Fi games I play:

    6mm & 15mm: THW’s 5150 Star Army & Battalion Commander, KR16, PMC2640, plus others

    I’m really tempted by the Oddzial Ozmy 3mm SF minis (I have some of their modern ones and I like them). They would be perfect for larger Battalion Commander games.For example:

    http://www.picoarmor.com/pico-products.cfm?id=260&m=8&p=Sci-Fi%20%283%20mm%29%20-%20Infantry%20&%20IFV

    Plus, the have some Xenos on the way: http://www.picoarmor.com/pico-products.cfm?id=273&m=8&p=Sci-Fi%20%283%20mm%29%20-%20Alien%20Creatures

    Good man!

     

    😀

    Oh, the 3mm stuff these days is very tempting.
    Just think of the armour and far out terrain you could have!

    Yes! For $5 you can get 15 tanks/ifvs/APCs/etc. That’s awesome! Very, very tempting.
