Hammer of the Scots

Has anyone given Hammer of the Scots a go? How would you sell your friends on it? How about its sister game Richard III?

Something like or better than Warhammer?

I love 40k lore, it's one of the coolest overarching stories I've ever read, the intricacies and connections from all sides while also keeping things separated is amazing. The ideas of the different races within the universe are also really cool. That being said, it costs a house down payment to get into the game. I've been wanting to get into it because I love strategy games, it would be my first wargame if I did, but it's just so prohibitively expensive, even looking at 3d prints and recasts and stuff the price is still up there, at least from what I found. I reached out to the community for recommendations and some were good like maybe getting a 3d printer. The community is also a problem for me, I spent $20 on some models and tried to get into the painting and building and found i wasn't enjoying it at all, I reached back out to the community and asked if there was a cheaper way to get into the game without the building and painting and I got a lot of backlash, I was told I shouldn't get involved if I can't afford it and that Warhammer wasn't about the game it was about the building and painting. Sorry for the rant, I just wanted to get that off my chest.

TL;Dr Is there a game like Warhammer at least in strategy and theme that isn't so expensive and restrictive to get into?

Desert Island Ruleset?

If you were stuck on a desert Island and could only bring one miniatures ruleset, what would it be? Imagine that you can carve local rocks or whatever into the minis you need :) and for the sake of argument, you have one person there you can game with.

Would it be something super specific like Liberators! battling the South American wars of independence? Or something super broad like DBA?

Fantasy frog army!! Help!!

Hey everyone.

So I want to do a fantasy frog army. I'm going to start with Mantic trident realms River guard and Dam busters, possibly with a GW Slaan as a commander. But beyond this, what are my options?

The purpose of the army is just something small and fun, generally to be mounted on GW 25mm rounds and used for multiple systems, mainly as a silly ally force for my human army.

Are there any other frog style models out there, including STLs, that would be fun to include?
