Happy Holidays and New Year!

I got an idea from upcoming PC Strategy game Iron Harvest, to wield armies (Again within RISK ruleset of course) in an alternative timeline WW1.

Here I'd like to represent the Prussians. Very powerful faction with big guns, but lacking in the manpower. Next I'll pester Leon about tailoring an order with pieces for the next faction, Saxony!

(A few squadrons of infantry still in the workshop)

Nice use of fortress guns there.

I really like these, very nice!

The game looks brilliant  - your figures capture it perfectly- well done

Brilliant, simply brilliant . I love the horses next to the dismounted riders, which is a nice touch.

I like 'em!

  all great, the scouts especially have some nice character

Absolutely splendid !!

Cheers - Phil

Superb! 

Really like the horse having a nibble at the grass. Would be fascinated to know what went wrong in 1870, such that Saxony is still independent in 1919.

Thank you guys for taking the time to comment and check out my topic. Much appreciated, and motivates me to assemble and paint more!

I'd like to ask if anyone would have any idea for where to get 10mm or similiar scale sized mechanical walking robots? Anything scifi really that could fit that steampunky WW1 feel that those walking tanks from Pendraken really capture.

VERY nicely done!!! Love weird War, and just got the final figs needed to complete my British army. Hope to be able to get to them soon because seeing yours is a nice inspiration!

Fantastic stuff.   The infantry and basing in particular are excellent.


I must admit that I found the Iron Harvest imagery inspirational (especially
the paintings by Jakub Rozalski) but had no idea how to make the mechs.

I would be interested to hear what bits you used and will be following this
thread to see what ideas I can nick !

...by the way, any chance of a quick run through on your basing technique ?

Really looks effective.

Everything is Pendraken.

For infantry I used 19th century Prussians and their Krupp Siege Cannons for the artillery pieces.

Truck was Fiat 621 truck

The walking panzer is from the Pendraken Scifi Humans line, they do have a smaller walker aswell.

I just basically ran through the store looking for something that could fit the "era".


For bases I use minibits round mdf bases. starting from 25mm for 2 infantrymen.

I use dark brown sand made to be used with miniatures which I drybrush with Army Painter "skeleton Brown", here I also gave it a highlight with 50/50 mix with Matt White and Skeleton Brown.

For Grass I used (https://www.war-world.co.uk/) 2mm (2mm height works best with this scale) Winter Static Grass, and for snow I used Army Painters snow.

With grass and snow it's important to remember to dillute the PVA enough, not to make it runny as water but you'll get the feel when it's enough.


Hope this helps!

Thank you - really useful and much appreciated.

Also, I always varnish the units after the sand is drybrushed. And after drying up I proceed to add grass.

And with 10mm figures, I always apply pva around the feet of the miniatures, as to camouflage the base the miniature stands on with grass.

Cant wait to see your brits!

Also have some inspirational art!

What a shame - the little blue square and question mark strike again
