A few dealers import surplus stuff for sale on the collectors market.
About the only time in recent history that the US military has bought British "surplus" was the harrier gr.9 deal

By going hell for leather down the m1/a1. Anything else means you get bombed to shit but if you force the Lincolnshire bases out of the picture and can reach London you have something resembling a chance. But of course given the long and complicated history of these sceptred Isles the biggest issue...

How could a secessionist Northumbria quickly win a war against the British state? By going hell for leather down the m1/a1. Anything else means you get bombed to shit but if you force the Lincolnshire bases out of the picture and can reach London you have something resembling a chance. But of cours...

Astartes have had similar roles before . Access denied for me. Could you tell me what the article says? Its an article about the old marine "field police" markings that appeared in rogue trader and got retconned/ adapted as legion consuls in the horus heresy stuff https://1d4chan.org/wiki...

Wow,the second guy is really cool.Do you have his background story?I want to know the function of that hourglass. Since I destroyed two boxes of Space Marines, I've known that my hands are not suitable for this work.I envy the official painting.Really want one. Im not sure, i think he is associated...

Fantasywise, I'm completely satisfied with Kings of War. I took a look at AoS but I found both the over-the-top lore and aesthetics and the rules (which seem to suffer from the same special rules bloat as 40k) unappealing at first glance. I have little hopes in the new edition of 40k, as I expect G...

:?: Its to firmly remind gaurd players that its only their tanks that matter what with the new tank and big gun rules coming in 9th. Maybe 9th will bring my mech guard back to power... Maybe, we'll see. On a related note: started and finished my first mini painting in almost 20years today: the 1st s...

I got soo excited when they showed the imperial guardsmen in that animation, thinking it was going to be the reveal of a new Cadian line or something. And then they died. Also your welcome, thought i might as well just dump it all into one post so its easier to keep track of for people. Its to firm...

Would using Marines in the DRC ever make sense? as said it depends on the marines in question and how they fit in your national military. Are they a key part of your national rapid reaction capability? Are they fairly restricted in their role and capabilities? Have you looked at a map of the DRC an...

Where do you come up with this stuff? Stuff is in my canon so I ask how it would work Its your Canon, its upto you. This sort of thing is impossible answer as it depends on a huge number of societal factors only you know. Really other than taking the basis of " this isn't what a modern Western...

Does allowing troops to bring their wives and potentially mistresses on deployment raise or lower morale? A combat deployment? Heck no thats a bad idea. A long term overseas posting? Yup bring the whole gang. For all the issues with Jodys and dear John letters no soldier wants their family in comba...

Now that the warhammer conquest series is at an end for me and my brother, we were thinking of maybe getting started on the Age of Sigmar version, Mortal Realms and begin collecting them. The two armies you get with it seem to be the Stormcast Eternals and Nighthaunt. I'd fancy the Nighthaunt mysel...

Pfffft, Equilibrium had a better basis for an almost feasible bull shit explanation of how to avoid bullets ie don't be where people are shooting at. Leaving that aside if you can keep moving and low enough you can make yourself a very difficult target. An unpredictable target that is shooting back ...

Not Grimdark enough...especially in this grimdark times. Damn Nurgle. Where's the God Emperor? Dying on a chair somewhere :lol: It wasn't always heresy. There used to be things like half eldar space marine cheif librarians... But that was rogue trader and thus a very different warhammer 40k. Rogue ...

It wasn't always heresy.
There used to be things like half eldar space marine cheif librarians...

But that was rogue trader and thus a very different warhammer 40k.

Been considering adding some sisters of battle to ally with my guardsmen. Turn it into a combined arms strike force with everything short of space marines. Thoughts? Good idea? No reason why you shouldn't. SoBs fit in just well as any other imperial soup ingredient fluff wise. The guard could have ...

Not meaning to be insulting but do you really not know the basics of modern boby armour? In short its a mix of specialist man made fibres, often grouped together as "kevlar" although this covers a range of different materials and construction techniques. Commonly known as "soft"...

Just finished reading a report on the M-16 and the bureaucratic issues behind it which made it fail so spectacularly in Vietnam. Torn between seething rage for idiot Ordnance Corps commanders and pity for their legacy after having served their countries for so long. Oh well, that's what happens tho...

today in idt: 1mm steel chain > 10mm mauser purpelia is now manokan 2 That's quite the insult. Still, you do make a good point. One question though: what do they make modern body armor out of? It's not metal, so what material do they use that's light enough to allow the soldier some semblance of mo...

To expand on they were cheap, they were already in service, they already had the infrastructure to support them and the schools to teach folk how to maintain and operate them (although these had to expanded as roughly a third to a half of all your infantry jncos now have to attend the gunner course)...

Why were breechloader conversions, like the Snider, Wanzl, Tabatiere, etc replaced so soon after entering service? I understand that nations wanted to convert large stocks of muzzleloaders quickly and cheaply to get them in the hands of the army as soon as possible, but I'm having a hard time seein...

After all the controversy and entertaining memes Consequences brought out I decided to look at some of the other short stories and I think I found some more info on the Brazen Drakes. There's another short story from a month ago called the Burden of brotherhood, the unnamed Chapter in the story...

AAI SPIW then Obviously the G11 is the best option, but you mentioned an overbarell grenade launcher, so maybe look at the XM29 or Daewoo K11. Just what I was looking for. I’ll use the M16 as a standard issue rifle for New England soldiers and the more advanced stuff for my Rocket Commando Corp. If...
