This is a list of bits, bobs, and whaz-itz for Brushfire and now Endless Fantasy Tactics!

This list will hopefully continue to be built by the community, and include ideas and 3rd party products to help improve all of our gaming tables!

Table of Contents:
-Articles of Interesting ideas
-Manufactures of Interesting things for Brushfire
-Manufactures of Interesting things for Endless Fantasy Tactics

Articles of Interesting ideas

Soda Bottle Ring Status Markers: A effective idea for Repersenting Status markers in D&D:4E. Good idea keeping track of Status effects in Endless Fantasy and in Brushfire.

Building Warmachine Trenches: The guide to building the "Warmachine style" trench, witch is fairly close in mechanics to how Brushfire's Trench rules work. A good starting point to making your own.


Manufactures of Interesting things for Brushfire

Angry Badger
MDF Terrain and Accessories. US Based. Items of Note:
Fantasy Terrain: Small collection of Fantasy Buildings
Dungeon Dungeon Creator: Could be interesting for Underground battles.

Gale Force Nine
Their 28mm scale battle feild in a box gives plenty of interesting terrian to add to a brushfire table that doesn't need painting.

Games-Workshop
Do I need say more?
Gondor Avenger Bolt Thrower & Gondor Battlecry Trebuchet: Both a great scale and look for Brushfire.
Warhammer Fortress: It's a plastic Castle.
Warhammer Siege Tower & Siege Battering Ram: Pair well wit the GW castles.
Empire Great Cannon / Mortar: Nice little plastic Cannon.
Prety well most of their WHFB Scenery kits: Only sujest if you have a dremel tool to remove the skulls with. (Maby the twin-tail comets too...) A big Block of Kneadatite Putty would also be necessary to remove larger skull details. The atvantage of course is that all of these are plastic kits, witch makes conversions easier.
(Note: Alot of the fantsey kits are older kits, so possible to acquire Used from Ebay. )

Hirstarts
Maker of Silicon Rubber Molds, that allows you cast out pieaces with Dentel Plaster or some kinds of resin if your up to it. Well the initial investment in these guys can seem abit steep, in the long run they are worth it as they bassicly let you make "wargameing legos" to build terrian out of.

For brushfire their is a tone of stuff that will help you make not only Medevil but steam punk looking buildings that shouldn't look to out of place. Their site is full of cool ideas you can do with their molds and hobby articles that explain how to use them.

The Miniature Building Authority
Maker of prepainted buildings for gameing tables.

PrivateerPress
The other white meat! Items of note:
Mercenarie Unit: Commodore Cannon & Crew: Just don't glue that little skeleton guy onto the front of it. Otherwise their is strange questions of "were did a human skeleton come from?"
Weapon hands from the Khador Berserker&Spriggan:These can be bit ordered from their store, and kitbashed with the Valkyr Mk. 1 to make the experimental Valkyrs.

Proxie Models
The supplier of On-The-Lamb's plastic Bases.
Plastic Bases: Always good to have extra/replacement bases on hand for repairs/rebaseing projects.

Ramshackle Games
Producer of Resin Minatures.
Boring Machine A more Steam Punk Barrow Marker.

sarissa-precision
These guys have a HUGE range of MDF buildings that could work great for Urban Brushfire tables. Notable Items are:
Gaslamp Ally:[/b] Great for Aquitar cities. Scale would probly need to be confirmed for Axony.
[b]Old West Heroic:
Perfect for a frontier town in the Federated States of Vespuccia.
28mm Japan: Great for a Ribenguo table I would imagen.

Sally 4th
A MDF terrain producer. Well small selection alot of what they do offer are pretty cool products.
28mm Scale Castles: A modular castle system that is comparable in coast to the GW plastic offerings.
Siege Equipment: Siege weapons to compliment their castle offerings.Mantlets, Siege Towers, and Battering Rams are offered.

Secret Weapon
Resin Bases, Games Accessories, painting supplies, and Resin Scenery. Items of Note:
Washes and Pigment Powders.
Resin Bases
Future Releases as hinted by miskatonicalum

Tectonic Craft Studios
Another MDF terrian site. A pretty good selection of Battlefield accessories, tokens and some terrain pieces. Notable Items are:
Battlefield Accessory Kits: alot of small kits that are great for detailing and adding charater to a board.
Terrain Kits: Ignoring the oviouesly Gothic Sci-Fi Items.
Tournament Racks: Very cool items, helps to quickly move a skirmish force from one table to the next in tournament settings. Could make nice display boards for us who demo games to people.

Wargames Foundry
True 28mm historical mini's.
12 Pounder Field guns These don't look half bad next to Brushfire mini's, and is what I use. I can post photo's if people would like to see how they scale up. They wont be as beefy as some of the other options.

Manufactures of Interesting things for Endless Fantasy Tactics
Alea Tools
Maker of Status Tokens for use in D&D:E4. Many uses in Endless Fantasy and potentially Brushfire.

Gale Force Nine
Their 28mm scale battle feild in a box range has diffrent crystals that would be great additions to a Endless fantasy table.

Hirstarts
Maker of Silicon Rubber Molds, that allows you cast out pieaces with Dentel Plaster or some kinds of resin if your up to it. Well the initial investment in these guys can seem abit steep, in the long run they are worth it as they bassicly let you make "wargameing legos" to build terrian out of.

For endless fantasy tactics that make a ton of stuff for people who are looking to make 3D D&D titles. It's bassicly everything someone could want for making their own stunning fantasy tactics boards, that are still able to be modular. Just check out the ton of articles and ideas gives on their website and fourms.


(Scale shots will be always welcomed here!)
(Feel free to suggest any kits you think I need to add to this list!)

That's a great list Lockark!

Angry Badger does a nice siege tower.

Secret Weapon has some things on the way to us, that I'll share when they get here.

When we use cannons in our games, I've got a Warhammer Fantasy Empire Cannon that does the trick, along with a Warmachine Mercenary Commodore Cannon.

I added your suggestions to the list, and added "Most WHFB scenery"*.

*counting on the fact you have a Dremel tool and a block of green stuff to go at the skulls with.

=P

Right now the list is just in order of how I thought of them/the order I added them in. I will reorganize the list into Alphabetical order latter.

Here are two token ideas I'm looking into for marking Status Effects in EFT. They should work equally well as markers in Brushfire. They can be used for all kinds of things including spore tokens, marking models affected by heroic/tactical actions, etc.

Collecting soda bottle rings - http://www.livingdice.com/1410/4th-edition-dungeons-and-dragons-mark-solution-soda-pop-rings/ This is a neat idea that requires drinking more soda than I typically imbibe. A friend of mine carries a half dozen different colors of these on carabiners to mark effects in D&D games.

or for the more professional gamer...

Alea Tools Magnetic Status Markers - http://www.aleatools.com/Default.asp Markers come in 1 inch and 2 inch wide plastic coated magnetic discs in a variety of colors.

Nice re-use of something that would end up in the trash.

I've seen a guy use rings made of coloured pipe cleaners the same way. No need to ingest that huge amount of sugar that way.

An interesting, and expensive thing for tokens are the tokens that come in a box of terraclips (some of the newer boxes for sure) from Wyrd Miniatures. Terraclips are hella expensive 68 dollars for 1 box of cardboard terrain and 1 box of clips (you generally need a 1:2 terrain to clips ratio). But they do have things like Poison, burn, paralyze, bleed, etc... I've been using them when I can. The added benefit of terraclips is that they're printed with a 1 inch grid, so you can use them for EFT.

I won't be able to see this because workblocked, but this image should have a bunch of tokens and it's blurry, but you should be able to see some of them.

Helpful! I've been looking for a good cannon. At OTLG International Headquarters and Pancake House they had an awesome one they let me use. Em said it was PP but I could never find it.

I looked all over the place on historical sites and could just never find one I liked as much as the PP one. Or I suck at searching historical sites.

It's spelled "cavalry." NOT "calvary."

Lockark has it listed up there, Commodore Cannon & Crew: http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/mercenaries/units/commodore-cannon-crew

The skeleton is actually a separate bit.

Its ~$40 for the box with crew & whatnot, or ~$24 if you just buy the bits off PP's store.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
a few other things to add:

Gale Force 9's crystals are great for Endless and the Battlefield in a Box line is also a great qucik way to get some terrain on the table for Brushfire.

For someone like me who would want to paint the crystals and incorperate them into other terrian features, it's possible just to buy rough Quarts crystal in bulk fairly cheaply.
