I have been working through my stuff to clear out and have posted some 15mm stuff (Napoleonic army packs plus a few Ancients and Colonial figures) on the EWG...
I am going mainly for 25mm bases for consistancy and looks. A lot of the 28mm Foundry I have do not fit nicely on 20mm bases. I based a bunch of the Romans...
Santa had dropped off Soviet Infantry Tactics and Soviet Armor Tactics. Now I will be able to see if these rule sets that make the claim of using proper...
Hi Bob, I really like all the recent blog entries with the great painting, especially the Vikings DBA army and camps. The stuff you did for Dave P looks very...
Jonathan, Thanks for your note. The magic dip is Future Floor wax (now marketed as "Pledge Floor Wax with Future") that you can find in you grocery store...
Does future floor wax ever need dish soap to get it to flow into the recesses, or is it runny enough out of the bottle? I once tried to ink a fantasy skeleton,...
... Craig, I've never found Future needed a flow enhancer as it doesn't seem to have the surface tension problems of water-thinned ink or paint. I don't think...
Bob, Thanks very much for the Magic Dip Tip ! I knew Future was good for thinner, but did not think about it as a shade dip. Better value than buying Army...
For what it's worth I've been using future dip for some time but a little differently from Bob. I cut it 50% with water and use perhaps 1% paint and a few...
A wrote a AAR for a Piquet: Anchor of Faith game Mark Cabaj and I played Friday 2-Jan-2009. Its on the EWG AAR Site under 2008 because Mike doesn't have a 2009...
On the "for what it's worth" note... I use a mix of very watered down white glue and a few drops of black ink...no Future. It dries flat and flows nicely. I...

Hi guys, I use Minwax, best to use is Tudor (hard to find though), I use Royal Oak, more available in Canada fro some reason. It acts like a stain and seallant...

I'm looking for some advice on commercial grass mats. I'm going to do a DBA board (2x2' also maybe a slightly larger on for big battle DBA). I'm putting static...
The currently available 'battle mat' from GW is of decent quality, though it is more of a heavy felt on a plastic/vinyl backing. For $40 or so, its not a bad...
Bob, We have a 4' x 4' board covered with the GW game mat (I think it was a 4'x 6' roll). It is paper backed and glued onto the board. It seems to be very...
Yes, ours had a paper back but was static grass not felt and looks quite good and seems to stand up to use okay. Tricky to lay and glue to board at full size...
LOTR will be for six, but Dave P., Dave C., and a couple of Dave C.'s grad students have reserved spots. Still room for two more. Craig ... offered so far....
Bob, I'll be in Kingston until the 16th. See you guys when I get back. Cheers Russ From: EWG@yahoogroups.com [mailto:EWG@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ...
Duane, Certainly, 20mm is the standard. But when I started into WAB, I had a heap of 25mm bases in the closet...so all my stuff is on 25mm (1") bases. Dave and...
Everyone should know that Parker's 25mm-based Romans come with an intrinsic 2+ armor save...yet another reason to base "bigger"! lol Kevin. ... of ... as ... ...
Got plenty of good gamer stuff for Christmas, including Foundry's new Wild West rules "The Rules with No Name". Just going through them now for ideas. Also got...
Hi All, Was pretty busy painting over the holidays. Mostly worked on 5th century Romano-Brits (for WAB) and British '44 Paratroopers. For those with Facebook...
