Digital Cameras Discussion

Painting

I often paint figures for sale on Ebay. (Hey, I like to paint, and the things are filling up my house). I bought a digital camera for that purpose. Over on the Miniatures Page, there is a good discussion on digital cameras and digital camera techniques for taking pictures of miniatures.

Terrain Buildings

I've been working on a Stalingrad miniature wargame for a couple of years. I need lots of ruined buildings terrain. Gary James' techniques for building ruins are particularly effective.

Kings and Captains Fantasy Rules

Rules Fantasy

Here's a set of free wargames rules from The Neo Stalinist Reality Wargames Collective (I love that name). It's a quick play fantasy battle system called "Kings and Captains." Of particular interest is the fact that the rules include army and unit creation, and lists for Tolkien, Army of Darkness and Mythic Norse armies.

About the Miniature Wargaming Hobby

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.

The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.

Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.

For pictures, visit the gallery.

Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
