1:72 / 20 mm pulp interwar imagi-nation Sultanate of Hatay - HaT Colonial Indians supported by Early War Miniatures

Imagi-nation Sultanate of Hatay may be placed wherever I want and need: from Atlantic isles at African West Coast, Maghreb, Dark Africa, Zanzibar through Balkan, Middle East, Caucasus, Turkmenistan, Back Of Beyond, Afghanistan and India to Indonesia and Singapore. Very flexible, either for player or for NPC (Game Master instrument). They usually are Muslim, but may be Hinduists or even cultists of Cthulhu, what suits more the scenario.

His Majesty Sultan equips His army in old British army surplus uniforms, but with His own colours.

Figures of riflemen are from HaT Set 8203 Colonial Wars Indian Infantry.

Rest of figures are from Early War Miniatures and they suit together perfectly.

Supplementing plastic HaT riflemen with metal Early War Miniatures support/specialists is my most optimal way to build complete and cheap army. I have done this few times (f.ex. Indian WW1), will try to show in the future (WW2 Italians, British Infantry Tropical) and hope for (support for HaT Set 8292 British Infantry (Early) capped: artillery crew, Vickers HMG, mortars and Lewis Gun shooters - from hip, please! - desperately need them for Federales&Warlord Army).

Photos are taken of poses: standard and converted with soldering iron.

Fikcyjny Sułtanat Hataj może się znajdować gdziekolwiek potrzebuję: od wysp na Atlantyku na Zachód od Afryki, przez Magreb, Czarną Afrykę i Zanzibar, przez Bałkany, Bliski Wschód, Kaukaz, Turkmenistan, Mandżurię, Afganistan i Indie po Indonezję i Singapur. Bardzo poręczna i uniwersalna armia, zarówno dla Graczy jak i Mistrza Gry. Sułtanat najczęściej wyznaje islam, ale może również hinduizm, albo zgoła Chtulhu.

Jego Wysokość Sułtan odziewa swoją armię w stare brytyjskie mundury, tyle że przefarbowane w Jego kolory herbowe.

Figurki żołnierzy to zestaw 8203 HaT Colonial Wars Indian Infantry.

Reszta figurek jest z Early War Miniatures i pasują razem doskonale.

Uzupełnianie plastikowych żołnierzy HaT metalowymi specjalistami Early War Miniatures jest moim ulubionym, optymalnym sposobem zbudowania kompletnej i taniej armii. Robiłem tak już wcześniej (n.p.: Hindusi z 1 WŚw), mam zamiar robić i w przyszłości (2 WŚw Włosi, Tropikalni Brytyjczycy).

Early War Miniatures Indian Cavalry dismounted and operating a Hotchkiss MMG - code: indcav4

Three MMGs - one for every squad in platoon. Suits perfectly.
Trzy RKMy, po jednym na każdą drużynę.

There are some small variances in MMG teams.
Urozmaiciłem zespoły RKM.

EWM Indian Cavalry Screw gun 2.5 inch RML or 7 pounder with 7 Indian crewman - code: britme30

Those crewmen may be used to either crew heavier artillery, mortars, armored trains, as MG ammo carriers or as targets in scenario.
Ci artylerzyści mogą posłużyć do obsadzenia cięższych kalibrów, moździerzy, pociagu pancernego; jako amunicyjni albo zgoła jako cele.

Early War Miniatures Indian WW2 Infantry firing Vickers Heavy Machine gun - code: britinf102

These I have converted with Greenstuff: sculpted tourbans and corrected tunic.
Ta dwójka została skonwertowana Greenstuffem: wyrzeźbiłem turbany i poprawiłem tuniki.

You may wonder why I have not placed HMG crew on bigger stand like Hotchkiss MMG. I plan on placing this stand into some narrow spaces: truck, armoured train, aeroplane, howdah etc.
Być może zdziwienie budzi, dlaczego nie umieściłem CKMu na większej podstawce, tak jak zrobiłem to z RKM. Powodem jest to, że planuję wstawić ten CKM w wąskie przestrzenie: ciężarówki, pociągu pancernego, samolotu, słonia etc.

And yes, I know they are the only ones without the beards. They are younger probably. Or maybe beards could stick into Vickers mechanism? ;)
I tak, zauważyłem, że są to jedyne figurki bez bród. Prawdopodobnie to młodziki. Albo może brody wciągnęłoby w mechanizm Vickersa? ;)

Guardians (even of harem) or ammo carriers.
Wartownicy (też haremu) lub tragarze amunicji dla KMów.

His Highness Sultan himself (or maybe Major, Sandhurst graduate and relative of Sultan)
Jego Wysokość Sułtan we własnej osobie (albo Major, absolwent Sandhurst i krewniak Sułtana)

Sultan HQ - EWM suits HaT perfectly:
Sztab Sułtana - EWM pasuje idealnie do HaTa

In the future I plan to support this force with HaT Set 8289 Colonial Bengal Lancers and EWM Complete stripped down Screw gun 2.5 inch RML carried on 5 mules and maybe some more metal Indian Cavalry.

W przyszłości planuję wesprzeć ten oddział zestawem HaT 8289 Bengalskich Lansjerów oraz kolumną trasnportową z EWM i może paroma innymi metalowymi Hinduskimi kawalerzystami.

Hope You like them. I bet You know from whom I taken name of the Sultanate ;)
Mam nadzieję, że się podobało. Oczywiście każdy wie skąd nazwa Sułtanatu? ;)

*********************************************************

Since this is blog about my games: this is my proposal of expansion for the hottest 2016 boardgame: Star Wars Rebellion. Dozens of pictures.
I am modding boardgames for 20+ years. Bah I should even publish one game in near future.

Ponieważ to jest blog o moich grach: tu jest moja propozycja rozszerzenia do najgorętszej gry 2016 roku Star War Rebelia (niedługo Galakta wyda ją po polsku). Tuziny grafik.
Modyfikuję grafiki do gier planszowych od 20+ lat. W niedalekiej przyszłości wydam własną planszówkę.

1:72 / 20 mm pulp & weird world war 2 - complete ? list

Pulp and WWW2 in 20 mm? But why not the more popular 28mm scale? What are the reasons?
Pulp i WWW2 w 20 mm? Ale dlaczego nie w popularniejszej skali 28mm?

1. Collection of not-purely-pulpish figures and terrains.
If you already have a lot of figures, vehicles (cars, tanks, trains, ships) and terrains (houses,forests, roads and the like) suitable for colonial/WW1/interwar/WW2 in 20 mm / 1: 72, it is an absurd to start collecting all of those in the completely new scale.
1. Posiadany zasób innych niż wyłącznie pulpowych figurek i terenów w danej skali.
Jeśli masz dużo figurek, pojazdów i terenów do lat 1850-1950 w skali 20 mm/1:72, absurdem będzie rozpoczynanie gromadzenia nowych w nowej skali.

2. Price.
20 mm is cheaper. Figures are cheaper many times. Also terrain is cheaper. For example, trains in 20 mm is several times cheaper and much easier to find than trains in 28 mm. The same with model cars. Non-wargaming models suitable for 28 mm at ebay is very expensive due to more demand. And it is nice to have true horde of opponents against our heroes.
2. Cena.
Są tańsze. Figurki są tańsze wielokrotnie. Tańsza jest też scenografia. Np pociągi w 20 mm są wielokrotnie tańsze i dużo łatwiejsze do znalezienia niż pociągi w 28 mm. Takoż samochody. Nie-wargamingowe modele pasujące do 28 mm na portalach aukcyjnych są znacznie droższe, w związku z droższym popytem. Poza tym miło użyć przeciwko bohaterom istnej hordy tubylców.

3. Volume.
Platoon of 28 mm figures takes so much space as 20 mm company. Especially relevant in the case of terrains. It's easier to keep terrains, because in 20 mm it occupies several times less volume. In the trunk of a car you can carry the entire city.
3. Objętość.
Pluton figurek 28 mm zajmuje tyle miejsca ile kompania w 20 mm. Zwłaszcza w przypadku terenów ma to znaczenie. Łatwiej przechowywać tereny, bo zajmują kilkukrotnie mniejszą objętość. W bagażniku samochodu osobowego można przewieźć całe miasto.

4. Mapping
The table can cover the whole town, not just the intersection. It is easier for a more realistic ranges. Tactical situations can be more interesting. Combat of squads is more realistic than single soldiers. You can put on the table several vehicles, and it does not look like a parade ground. You can deploy the entire railway station and play a scenario of a moving train. One tank wont dominate whole table.
4. Odwzorowanie
Stół może obejmować całe miasteczko, a nie tylko skrzyżowanie. Łatwiej o bardziej realistyczne zasięgi. Sytuacje taktyczne mogą być ciekawsze. Walka drużyn jest bardziej realistyczna niż pojedynczych żołnierzy. Można na stole postawić kilka pojazdów, i nie wygląda to jak plac defiladowy. Można rozstawić całą stację kolejową i rozegrać scenariusz z poruszającym się pociągiem. Jeden czołg nie zdominuje całego stołu.

5. Completeness
Pulp figures at 20 mm are quite rare than in 28 mm, so you can afford to have them all . OCD will not ruin your budget.
5. Kompletność
Figurki pulp w 20 mm są względnie rzadsze nić w 28/15 mm, więc można sobie pozwolić na posiadanie ich wszystkich. OCD nie zrujnuje budżetu.

6. Weight.
28 mm metal figurines are relatively heavy - solid shelves are recommended. 20 mm mostly plastic figures are relatively light, thus it is easier to move and transport the sets. You wont get a hernia carrying whole set.
6. Waga.
Metalowe 28 mm figurki swoje ważą. 20 mm w większości plastiki półek nie zarwą, łatwiej przenieść i przewieźć scenografię. Nie dostaniesz przepukliny niosąc komplet do gry.

7. Experience.
In 20 mm you can rely on washes; masses of opponents You can even dip (with f.ex. Army Painter QuickShade). 28 mm figurines are differently paint, you need to use a lot of highlights (and other advanced painting techniques) to get a good results. If You already know how to paint 20 mm, maybe it is a good idea to keep with it?
7.Doświadczenie
W 20 mm można polegać na washach; masy przeciwników można nawet dipować (np. pokostem Army Painter QuickShade). Figurki 28 mm maluje się inaczej, by uzyskać dobry rezultat należy użyć wielu rozjaśnień i zaawansowanych technik malarskich. Skoro już potrafisz malować 20 mm, to może należy się tego trzymać?

8. Speed of paint
It is arguable, but judging after my experience and results of others, painting one 28 mm figure takes as much as whole squad od 20 mm figures. I admit, it is not so important in pulp skirmish like Pulp Alley. Afterall it is Yours aesthetic decision, whether several 28 mm figures make more visual impact than horde /company of 20 mm.
8.Szybkość malowania
To dyskusyjne, ale sądząc na podstawie mojego doświadczenia oraz rezultatów innych wargamowiczów, pomalowanie jednej 28 mm figurki zajmuje tyle ile pomalowanie całej 20 mm drużyny. Przyznaję, nie ma to aż takiego znaczenia w skirmiszach typu Pulp Alley. Ostatecznie, to Twoja etsetyczny wybór, czy większe wrażenie robi na Tobie kilka 28 mm figrek czy 20 mm horda / kompania.
