Eisenkern Minis Review + Homebrewing an Army

I review a variety of Mark Mondragon's "Iron-Core" 28mm miniatures, including the Eisenkern Stormtroopers, Command Squad, and Heavy Weapons teams from Dreamforge Games/Wargames Factory, and the new Panzerjagers from Wargames Atlantic, offering suggestions for how to use them in Xenos Rampant, or as 40k Imperial Guard units, Weird War Germans, and more. Then stay tuned for my own homebrewed armies of Arqualan and updates on the Xiandao online campaign.of world-building for my homebrewed armies of Arqualan for the X

This is what I do, myself. I'm a modder of games and a creator of worlds. I believe it is innate in our being to create, just as our Heavenly Father does. I like your world you created. I would love to hear more.

[@attentionspanlabs]

Amen. I am grateful for your encouragement. Expect more world details soon!

[@juddgoswick2024]

Those mules are pretty slick! Also, a supply caravan of them would make a nice objective for a battle.

[@attentionspanlabs]

They sure would. Unfortunately I can't find anymore to buy!

[@username12120]

Thanks for the miniatures showcase, and it was nice to see more into the factions of the Xiandao campaign. I hope to finally have a game to contribute to the emerging tapestry it's becoming.

[@attentionspanlabs]

We would love the extra fluff and battle reports! I will be doing some more videos on the Xiandao belligerents in the near future. Thanks for watching!

I backed his kickstarter in 2011, they were in white metal and I still haven't put them together yet. I did pick up 2 boxes of Wargames Atlantic plastic kits of the Stormtroopers while they were on sale at hoobylinc. My intent was to use them at the time for Secrets Of the Third Reich but now for when we move to 28mm K47 (we are still playing K47 in 1-72 scale). I do wish Wargames Atlantic would do the heavy kits in plastic and or all of them as stl files. Also the Panzerjager troops were the Kreigsmarine troops in the Kickstarter originally thus the lighter armor and weapons,. and I would be interested in the heavy kits if your wanting to part with them.

[@attentionspanlabs]

Kriegsmarine makes more sense than tank hunters considering how they are equipped. I didn't know they had metal models, either! Shoot me an email at the link in my YT profile.

1. It was kinda funny for me personally that I wanted to buy a lot of this on Ebay and lost the bid as someone just strapped down the full price the seller was accepting. And for this video to come out right after that, left me with suspicion you were the one that bought it. Glad I was wrong. 2. I do think the word you were looking for when showing off the staged artillery and platforms is, "grounded". As these are fantastical elements but having a few things that help explain how these things are done within their world help sell the 'realism' of the world. As some of my favorite models in my Khador junction are the artillery pieces, especially the one gentleman with the spyglass calling out for mortar fire. 3. Lastly I like that homebrew, it sparks creativity and I appreciate how you have encouraged for the usage of the same model in different games. Having them still keep their look but be consistent all around and not just stay in one world.

[@SpannSr1970]

Loving the Homebrew!

[@attentionspanlabs]

Delighted to hear it! Thanks for watching and letting me know!

i use mine as proxies for german power armor in konflict '47.

[@manjr]

The Rule of Cool trumps logic, especially in sci-fi! The blue shoulderpads look sharp with the tan.

[@attentionspanlabs]

Thanks for saying so! I agree entirely. They are just toys after all, and you have to have fun with what you paint and put on the table.

[@RussellWilliams736]

Shoulder pads could be a special paint or something that friendly forces can see through various optics allowing them to identify friend from foe and also for unit distinction?

[@attentionspanlabs]

Great idea!

[@AndrewSmith-fd3fi]

I've been looking into using these for Star Wars Mini battles a Not-Legion Star Wars project using Imperial Assault for the Characters, given the variety of Stormtroopers I think they can fit in well enough as next generation uniform design and the Warames Atlantic other ranges should fit ok for Rebels and Stargrave Mercenaries, Crew and Troopers plastic options fit in too.

[@attentionspanlabs]

There have been so many varieties of Stormtroopers introduced in the RPGs, novels, comics, and the newer movies that they would fit right in. Cannon Fodder and some of the 3d print options from Atlantic Digital would make decent basis for rebels.

[@AndrewSmith-fd3fi]

@@attentionspanlabs Thats exactly what I was thinking with the aesthetics of the Stormtroopers design, inspired by Nazis, in turn inspring a wargaming space nazi mini seems only fair it plays in the SW sandbox. Ironicly I first found your channel looking at your review of the SWMB which also contained Easter greetings, many thanks, hope the little bunny brought you much choclate to enjoy :)

[@attentionspanlabs]

@@AndrewSmith-fd3fi I'm Orthodox, so we are still in the middle of Great Lent, but I much appreciate your greetings! In fact, we've only just started putting bunnies out when everyone else is taking them down :D

Disposable missiles 😂😂. Aren’t all missiles disposable? Lol

[@attentionspanlabs]

I guess I need to start scripting these!
