Hi

Welcome.

Now, that is a down right fib! 

Follow your blog every week.

Cheers Paul

Here is a tip I got off a very long standing and esteemed member of this forum renowned worldwide for his designing of figures of all scales.

Plug the Dremel (other mini drills are avaliable) into a plug in dimmer switch like the one below. by turning the "Dimmer" up and down you get much more control of the drill speed, within the speed band you have set.
I hasten to point out that this is not what the "dimmer" is designed for, and may have unintended issues, and It is your responsibility to make sure you do not burn your house down or cause your street to loose electrical power.

However it does work very well.

As I scrolled down this list, and down this list, I thought that the completed stuff was comprehensive, then it kept going, so when these are all produced feels this will be an exhaustive (and exhausting) set of army lists!

Thanks Fred.
Writing the rules is, by & large, the 'easier' bit. The army lists are what takes the time & causes the most pain
    

Welcome Radar,

QuoteThis forum is inhabited by the the odd and the very odd; but there is a great depth of knowledge and a willingness to help. 

I will only add to the comment above, that FSN has omitted the inhabitants of this forum who are "Extreemly odd"

I know next to nothing about samaurai warfare apart from the statements below, which may not be strictly correct

1 Samaurai were the ruling Lords
2 Honour was the most highly prized value
3 During one of the periods they wore back banners
4 A samaurai army looks very impressive when on the wargames table

So you can see that I will be of absolutely no use in answering any of your questions.  . I will however use the answers from others more knowledgeable on this subject to improve my knowledge.

If however you have questions about the Italian Wars or World War 2 I will have more chance of being useful.

Welcome Radar/KYPD

Firstly thanks for your work with saving the BCW and the Regimental wiki....you have probably seen the Celtic Fringe rules and the Montrose and Irish scenario books that three of us who are regulars on this forum have produced. We have found it a very useful source of information about W3K matters.

Afraid my knowledge on 10mm Samurai is minimal, but if you have a question about them there are plenty of people here who can help, apart from on the question of how to stick back banners to the figure rather than to anything else      There never seems to be a satisfactory answer to that one.

Anyway, welcome. it's really not that much of a madhouse.....

I know a little bit about the Wars of the 3 Kingdoms, so expect my 2p's worth occasionally. I am responsible for the abomination that is KeepYourPowderDry, and one of the people responsible for the return of the BCW Project and Wiki.
...

You know enough to know it involved three Kingdoms    

My thanks for your part in the return of the incredibly useful BCW Project and Wiki        

My Cheriton project owes much to the original BCW Project and Wiki. I'm sure I will be making use of it again now it has returned

I know others appreciate the return as well

Greetings. Good to see that you're contemplating the one true scale.

If the flag is away from the bearer,
Dremel cutting blade below the flag to remove the flag then scalpel the pole away above and below the hand
Burr the hand (2mm Dremel one) to make a pilot hole, stops drill bit wandering and snapping.
Drill hand (using Techno's suggestion I hold figure down with black tack, photography blutack but 950000x stronger).
Thread new pole through.

If the flag is moulded to the heater like 10mm GNW, replace figure with pikeman and add paper flag

Hello and welcome

Wow!
