Fuck a gripe about not liking Warhammer models, what's your favourite model that was ever in Warhammer?
I would do horrible things for a forgeworld Ironclad Dreadnoughg

@Knightly_Hist Amazing film! Guinness and Harris are utterly brilliant as Charles and Cromwell!
English
The other contender for the best depiction of 1600s warfare is Cromwell (1970).
Not perfect, and it lacks the grittiness of Alatriste, but it does a better job at depicting warfare in the 1600s.
We've got a lot of movement, cavalry moving in deep formations, infantry re-arranging their ranks, higher presence of firearms, and much better arms and armor and fashion.
I really like that we have a depiction of the shot and pikemen charging in unison into the melee. There's plenty of sources describing the muskeeters abandoning their firearms and charging sword in hand, en masse.
The Late Knight Show@Knightly_Hist
"Alatriste" (2006) also uses primary sources to inform it's depiction of the battle of Rocroi (1643). Francesco Guicciardini claims that during the Battle fo Rávena (1512) the Spaniards crawled under the legs of the German infantry, wielding knifes and swords. It's not an accurate portrayal for Rocroi, but it does melee combat justice.

@HashionDiscord @Spoon3781 @SisterDogmata @Las2DSonMejores Ahhh I stopped playing games about 7th/8th and came back for 10th!
English
@Dennett86 @Spoon3781 @SisterDogmata @Las2DSonMejores in 9th I want to say they moved them to elites because people were just running them as low cost troops
English
@HashionDiscord @Spoon3781 @SisterDogmata @Las2DSonMejores Never played cultists but recall scouts were troops? Apart from Space Wolves scouts that were Elites.
English
@Dennett86 @Spoon3781 @SisterDogmata @Las2DSonMejores the issue I had with force org is how often it had to be patched like making scouts not troops or giving cultists mere mortals
English
@Spoon3781 @SisterDogmata @Las2DSonMejores @HashionDiscord Same here. 1 HQ and 2 troops then go from there!
My son and I pick a points value and pick whatever we want to that value!!

@OdballsS Visited it when it Stockholm in 2012 and it is utterly stunning. Played the game to see if you can do better than the Vasa did and think I got sunk quicker!!
English
THIS alone was worth the rather expensive short break to Sweden
Its incredible. Even the building that houses it is a wonder.
If this isnt on your own bucket lists, then its a lick o the cat for the lot of you
Now INTO THE RIGGING, YOU SEA MONKEYS!
ArchaeoHistories@histories_arch
On August 10, 1628, the Swedish warship Vasa sank less than a mile into her maiden voyage in Stockholm harbor, becoming one of history's most dramatic examples of institutional failure. King Gustavus Adolphus ordered the ship built as part of Sweden's military expansion during a war with Poland-Lithuania, intending her to serve as a powerful symbol of Swedish naval dominance. Construction began in 1626 under Dutch shipwright Henrik Hybertsson, who died before the ship was completed, leaving the project under the supervision of his assistant Henrik Jacobsson. Vasa was armed with 64 bronze cannons arranged across two full gundecks, making her one of the most heavily armed warships in the Baltic at the time of her launch. The ship was lavishly decorated with nearly 500 carved sculptures painted in vivid colors, designed to project royal power and intimidate enemies. Her fatal flaw was a dangerously high center of gravity caused by too much weight concentrated in the upper structure relative to the hull's width below the waterline. A stability test conducted before sailing exposed this problem when just thirty men running across the upper deck caused the ship to roll alarmingly, prompting the admiral overseeing the test to stop it before the ship capsized. Despite this warning, no one with knowledge of the ship's instability had the political courage to delay her departure, as the king was impatiently demanding she put to sea. When a gust of wind struck Vasa as she passed a gap in the harbor bluffs, she heeled sharply to port and water poured through the open lower gunports directly onto the lower gundeck. The ship sank within minutes to a depth of 32 meters, roughly 120 meters from shore, in full view of hundreds of Stockholm residents and foreign ambassadors. Around 30 people perished in the disaster, though many survivors clung to debris and were rescued by nearby boats. A royal inquest followed, with the Privy Council determined to find a scapegoat, but no single guilty party could be identified since the king himself had approved the ship's measurements and armament. Blame quietly settled on the deceased original shipbuilder Henrik Hybertsson, and no one was formally punished. The ship lay forgotten on the harbor floor for over 300 years after salvagers recovered most of her valuable bronze cannons in the 1660s using a primitive diving bell. Amateur archaeologist Anders Franzén relocated the wreck in 1956, and a complex salvage operation successfully raised Vasa to the surface on April 24, 1961. Archaeologists recovered thousands of artifacts during the excavation, including weapons, tools, clothing, coins, food, drink, and the remains of at least 15 people. Vasa is now housed permanently at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, where she has been seen by over 45 million visitors since her recovery. Ongoing conservation work battles internal chemical decay, as sulfuric acid continues forming within the ancient oak timbers, threatening the ship's long-term survival. The sinking of Vasa sent immediate shockwaves through the Swedish naval command, triggering a royal inquest that exposed deep failures in how the Swedish state managed major military projects, though remarkably no one was ever punished for the loss. The disaster quietly reshaped Swedish shipbuilding practices over the following decades, with Sweden eventually abandoning Dutch shipwrights in favor of English expertise, whose more systematic approach to planning and design better suited the demands of state-sponsored military construction. Vasa's recovery in 1961 transformed our understanding of 17th-century naval life, shipbuilding techniques, and material culture, providing scholars with an unparalleled archaeological record preserved in extraordinary detail by Stockholm's cold, brackish, and historically polluted harbor waters. #archaeohistories

Brunner the Bounty Hunter is probably my favorite character in the entire Warhammer Fantasy universe. Tough, resourceful, ruthless and pragmatic - he's the quintessential 'Hammer antihero.⚔️
That said he still has rules and can do the right thing when necessary.💪

@SisterDogmata Yeah looks fragile. I'm after a holder that can hold a 20 man Old World unit easily!!

Which European armor is your favorite? (anyone who chooses "today" is getting blocked 😅)

@Daemon_Hammer Yeah im not a massive fan of painting so when the models were done I left them but looking at them now feel I need to do them but also dont have much time!
Ah ok I'll take a look at Seige Scenics. Thanks
English
@Dennett86 Personally I do the last now but I’m also have very little time to hobby so try to maximise efficiency (and I’m a little lazy when it comes to painting). I use Siege Scenics for a complete basing solution rather than basing then painting that basing material now.
English
Beginner question but bases - best to do after painting models, before or at same time?
I've got tyranids and Ultramarines that need bases as well as Tomb Kings and Lizardmen that will need bases doing and can't work out the easiest way to do them!!

@SisterDogmata Yeah i think adding technical paint (carefully) to the ones I've painted and then doing it after building and painting the others does seem the better option!
Thanks.
English
@Dennett86 I mean, you can undercoat technical paint, but I think it's easier to add it either during or after you've painted the mini and then basecoat, wash, drybrush, etc the technical paint just like you would with painting the mini itself
English
@SisterDogmata I mean I've been painting for years but never bothered with bases but feel I should!!
So the Ultramarines and Tyranids are going to be a pain then!! If I use what technical paint on the others then undercoat that would work?
English
@Dennett86 100% same time, otherwise it's a nightmare trying to attach the mini to the base after it's already painted
