Re: 15mm Yayoi vs. Jomon (Bronze Age Japan)

15mm Yayoi vs. Jomon (Bronze Age Japan)

Stephen and I met once again in Fate, Texas for a game session. The armies we use were both based on the Yayoi army list; essentially Bronze-Age Japanese armies with no mounted troops. One of the Yayoi armies is designed to represent the Jomon Culture, some of the earliest people of what is now call...

Re: Garrison Armored Camelry

I remember Garrison figures from the 1970s. Is this a modern incarnation of the same company? I looked at their Etsy site and it looks like modern sculpts.

25mm Reptiliads by RAFM (1983)

My brother Bill recently handed me a box of "Reptiliad" miniatures that he bought in 1983 and wondered if I knew anything about them. He had kept them in the original box and had the receipt showing he had paid $23.70 for them. As a surprise gift I decided to paint and base them. So the time from pu...

Re: 15mm Khazar - Army Building

Those look great. Can you tell us how you painted the horses? I am always looking for ways to improve that process.

Re: Later Hebrews vs. Philistines

Steven shares my interest in the Bronze Age so we may be playing some sort of campaign in the near future. Perhaps when the first campaign book for Triumph! comes out.
