Phil Malpas ask:
I paint and collect 1:72 Russian Napoleonics. Do you know where I can find Napoleonic opponents in the West Midlands (Wolverhampton)
Anyone have a club or gaming group they can direct Phil to?
LarkinVain asks:
With GenCon a little over 2 weeks away, I’m interested to know what exclusives and goodies will be available this year.
TGN has a lot of readers who are also belong to various miniatures companies. Maybe they can let us know what specials they are promoting this year.
Ken Whitehurst asks:
I am a fan of the Dynasty Warriors video games. Can anyone recommend a good set of rules and miniatures for a Romance of the Three Kingdoms style miniatures game?
Not really asked by any one person is particular but there have been many comments about this so perhaps we can ask a general question regarding what sort of airbrush is good for a beginner to use and what is an airbrush best at painting?
An anonymous reader asks:
I’m going to buy Warhammer 40k, my local shop has a good basic starter pack deal, but I would love some tips or ideas from players which as newbies we might not know about.
An anonymous reader asks:
I am looking for a generic fantasy and ancients skirmish system for use with 28mm scale figures. Ideally this would have a point costing system so that I can build stats for my own miniatures. Is their such a system for either genre?
Thorbjørn Nielsen asks:
AT-43 has been out a while now and I wonder if it has “succeeded”. Is it any good? Is it worth it?
Mathieu asks:
What do you TGN readers think about the Black Library books? And more specifically are there any that you’d recommend to someone who’s fond of scifi/fantasy literature but who’s not very familiar with the Warhammer universes?
A TGN reader asks:
Most of the games I play are played on a 4′ x 4′ surface area but most game mats out there are either 2′ x 2′ 3′x 3′ or 4′ x 6′. Is there any one out there that sells a naturally 4′ x 4′ flocked game mat?
John, aka metalminimadness asks:
What’s are the best Wild West or Weird West miniatures game (rules and miniatures could be separate) available?
We’ve had two very similar questions so we thought it would be best to post them together to get responses.
An anonymous reader asks:
I was wondering what is a fun game that is along the lines of Battlefleet Gothic? I was just wondering because it seems like GW isn’t doing so well and I’m a little wary of starting any of their other games.
Ken Whitehurst asks:
Given the recent announcement by Mongoose that Babylon 5: A Call to Arms will be discontinued, what Spaceship combat game do people prefer? I have greatly enjoyed Silent Death in the past, and hear Full Thrust is popular. Are their others? Will A Call to Arms live on?
An anonymous reader asks:
I’m looking for a generic Sci-fi system for my 28mm figs. Has anyone played Defiance: Vital Ground from MJ12? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Reader Patrice asks:
I’m in the process of buying myself a complete set of new acrylics paints. I started long ago with GW paints and achieved some good results with them. I then switched to oils (Winsor & Newton) and achieved even better results with those but the problem is that they take a long time to dry and you have to be very patient.
So I want to, in parallel of my oil painting, start again using acrylics. I’m hesitating between the Vallejo and the P3 range from Privateer Press? What would be the guidelines to choose between one or the other?
Andres Villaseca is interested in determining how many miniatures he may need for some of the new and existing Weird WWII games.
He asks:
It seems Weird War is getting extra attention but I haven’t been able to decide what game to try. A huge factor for deciding a game (at least for me) is the model count in each game. So, what is the model count for a standard game in each of the different Weird War games available?
PMMJ needs some help finding a figure for something he has in mind:
I’m a big fan of alternate figs, but I am stumped on this one. I’m looking for a fig, in close to 28-30 mm size, male or female, modern to sci-fi, or close to either. The tricky part: I want them holding a box in an open hand, or in both hands. Or one hand open flat, or something like that for me to convert. (I’m not great at conversions, but I can do a little.) Any clues?
Gaz Palmer has an interesting question that many of us probably already have experience with.
He asks:
I have 2 younger children 9 and 12. What game would TGN readers recommend for a younger gamer like my kids as their first miniatures game (with respect to easy of play, fun factor, etc)?
They’re already interested in the modelling and painting side so pre-painted isn’t really a pre-requisite. I currently play Warmachine, Hordes, 40k and Urban War.
Reader a_thousand_hats has the kudos of having the first Ask TGN question thrown out to the masses.
He asks:
I’m contemplating giving WWII miniature wargaming a go. I prefer skirmish level games e.g. 1 model = 1 man (Where you have up to 20 minis and maybe a vehicle or two… hmmm tanks).
With regards to my kind of approach to the setting - think Kelly’s Heroes and the scene close to the minefield with the shoot-out across the road. Scale must be 28 mm. I prefer that size for painting purposes. Can anybody recommend some systems to try out?
Update: Some links to some of the systems suggested.
