Die Schlacht der Dinosaurier - 15, 18 & 20 mm figures of Mounted Armoured Dinosaurs with riders

In my endless search for 1:72 & 20 mm pulp figures, I had found that OOP boardgame Die Schlacht der Dinosaurier may have some figures, interesting for me.

Figures look very good and they are paintable.

Unfortunately brand new out-of-production game is expensive (125 Euros), but finally I found one a bit cheaper.


W moich niekończących się poszukiwaniach 1:72 / 20 mm figurek pulp, odkryłem że nieprodukowana już gra planszowa Die Schlacht der Dinosaurier może zawierać interesujące mnie figurki.

Figurki na BGG wyglądają świetnie i dają się pomalować.

Niestety "nówka nie śmigana" jest b.droga (125 euro), ale w końcu upolowałem taniej.

Question is: do they really suit?
Pytanie za 100 pkt: czy figurki będą pasować?





With 1:72 / 20 mm Revell, Italieri, Hat and First To Fight:












(There is a Eureka / GZG 25 mm Absolutely-Not-Predator in the background)





With 1:76 Airfix:





With 18 mm SF Ground Zero Games GZG and 15 mm Oddzial Osmy 08:











As You can see: their height is 19 mm. IMNSHO they best suit 1:76. They can be used as small humans (Pygmies, malnourished cavemen, Homo neanderthalensis or children) in 20 mm / 1:72 scale. I suppose they could be used as a nation of giants in fantasy 15/18 mm. Maybe even army for HoTT?
Jak widać: ich wysokość wynosi 19 mm, najlepiej odpowiadają skali 1:76. Można ich używać jako pigmejów, niedożywionych jaskiniowców, neandertalczyków lub dzieci w skali 20 mm / 1:72. Przypuszczam, że możnaby zastosować jako naród gigantów w skali 15/18 mm. Armię do Hordes Of The Things?


I will paint one set. Second one is reserved for my 20 mm pulp friend. If anyone is interested, I am offering two full sets of 16 figures (of 6+1 poses) plastic unpainted armoured dinosaurs and 21 figures (of several poses) of human riders (you may ask for colour of human, I will do my best).

Each set cost 15 Euros + shipping from Poland, EU.

Jeden zestaw pomaluje dla siebie, drugi już jest zarezerwowany dla przyjaciela. Jeśli ktoś jest zainteresowany, na sprzedaż mam dwa pełne zestawy 16 figurek (w 6 + 1 pozach) niepomalowanych opancerzonych plastikowych dinozaurów i 21 figur (w kilku pozach) ludzkich jeźdźców (można poprosić o konkretny kolor ludzi, postaram się spełnić życzenie).

Każdy zestaw kosztuje 15 euro + koszty wysyłki z Polski. Dla zainteresowanych kolegów z forum strategie.net.pl duuuży rabacik. ;)

1 x Leader in Velociraptor Chariot
1 x Plateosaurus
2 x Tyrannosaurus rex
2 x Triceratops
2 x Pteranodon

Random soundtrack playlist as a way to decide initiative / turn order & game clock

I am preparing big several players pulp WWW2 game. I need the way to set randomly initiative (turn order of players) and to limit time of their moves. Usually I used cards (with all possible actions written, so to help novice players), but wanted something fresh.

And I had illumination.

Why not use random soundtrack playlist as a way to both limit time of players phase (turn) and deciding who will go next?

How it works?


In my pulp game (March 1941, western rural Iran, "strange asteroid" fall at ancient ruins which was observed by several nations) there will be several factions: Iranians, Soviets, British, Germans/Turkish joint expedition, French Foreign Legion (from Syria), US Paras (with airship), independent treasure hunters (Indiana Jones & co) and camouflaged Predator. As well as NPC natives and fauna. And many surprises.

I set 2 and half minutes for each players phase. NPC Natives tribes get 3 minutes (to let me, as a gamemaster, clear table). Predator get two phases, albeit shorter ones. Germans (best leadership) get two phases, albeit German player must decide to skip one of these phases (his choice).

Look for soundtracks (of comparable length).

Build YouTube playlist.

Since You cannot randomize YouTube playlist, go to RandomTube. It is a great site, allows You to reshuffle easily.


This is an outcome:

I suppose such solution could work for conventions separate gamerooms...


I couldn't find such thing done before.... so maybe I am first? Nihil novi sub sole?

Do You know any rules describing such solution?

What do You think?

Konkurs Modelarski Forum Strategie (VIII edycja) / Modelling Contest

Chciałbym ogłosić rozpoczęcie kolejnej, VIII edycji Konkursu Modelarskiego Forum Strategie, którego ponownie mam zaszczyt być współorganizatorem.

I would like to announce the launch of the another one, eighth edition of the Modelling Contest of polish forum Strategie.net.pl, which again I am honored to be an co-organizer . At least passive knowledge of polish language will be helfpul.

Zacytuję Raleena, Admina Forum Strategie:

Wszystkich wargamerów malujących figurki zapraszamy do wzięcia udziału w konkursie modelarskim organizowanym już po raz ósmy przez Forum Strategie. Nieważne w jaki system bitewny gracie i jaki okres historyczny preferujecie. Również jeśli chodzi o skale modelarskie, możliwości wystawiania prac są szerokie (poruszamy się jednak w ramach skal standardowo stosowanych w wargamingu historycznym). Opracowując formułę tego konkursu staraliśmy się zorganizować go w ten sposób, by mogła w nim wziąć udział jak największa liczba uczestników.

Malowanie prac potrwa do 12 września 2015 r. Potem nastąpi wyłonienie zwycięzców i wręczenie nagród. Czasu na malowanie jest więc sporo i można spróbować sił w każdej z pięciu kategorii konkursowych, w tym terenu!

To quote Raleen, Admin of Forum Strategie.net.pl:

We would like to invite all wargamers to take part in a modeling contest organized for the eighth time by Forum Strategie.net.pl. Every system and every historical period counts. Nearly every scale of figures. We tried tried to organize it in such a way so as the largest number of participants could participate.

Painting work will continue until September 12, 2015, then voting, selecting winners and awards ceremony. There is a lot of time to paint, and you can try your hand at each of the FIVE categories of competition, including terrain.

Who wants Feline head sculpted by me for 15 mm SF mech Okami (CMG)?

I have sculpted felines/tigroid head for CMG Okami mech, so they suit (as many have found) Khurasan Felids. Will cast them in resin. I may cast more, if anyone's interested.

Beware: they are sculpted by me in GS – so so, nothing impressive but works for me.

The head is similar mostly to panther. "Ears" are separate, so they can be glued in differents modes of activity: 1. "ears" up when observing; 2. "ears" to the ground and sides or behind when storming (needs filing ears a bit) 3. "ears" one up and one to the side. You know: "ears" are sensitive and delicate sensors, better protect them when assaulting- even small fire weapon may damage them...

I wonder if anyone would be interested to put felids head on Your Okami?

I do not want to make a money on them, just to share my love.

You would just have to give me back cost of shipment (from Poland,EU) and casting after package arrived. Future photos of them painted will be welcomed.

If anyone is seriously interested, I will put photos here…

I doubt if I ever will cast them again, so it's now or never offer.

They will be moulded and cast by my friend Pryzmek - you may find some of his work HERE.
