@Brian Van De Walker - A lot is going to depend on where you date the end of the era of "Imperial Conquests", and, as always, a lot also depends on how sensitive you and your gaming group are to we...

Sadly there really doesn't seem to be much out there in plastic for a low budget - I wanted to find something to build into a Haunted Tank for "The Last War", which as a fantasy/sci-fi setting leav...
They'll be coming to plastic one way or the other!
@Reb T Strange Plastic can take anything we make in digital and sell them as ready printed sets. Sometimes they come across something that would be just cost prohibitive (and too pricey) to make av...
@Charles Tottington steampunk has a lot of variation, so it's mostly about deciding what elements you want to adopt. personally, if i was going steampunk, i'd draw on the Girl Genius comic, (comic...
@Yronimos Whateley While you have a point about the French, the WW2 Italians don't really fit in that well anywhere else if we are talking actual history gaming. Otherworld/high imagination s...
@Yronimos Whateley Yeah, I was wondering if the Napoleonic British Riflemen can be adapted into the Victorian age so I can steampunk them up a bit. Problem is trying to figure out how to make some...
I think you've got most of it there - this era overlaps the Napoleonic era on the earlier end, and WWI on the later end, and you can surely find a use for at least some of the more flexible Napoleo...
@Mithril2098 Yeah I think if we were to get a Commanche or Apache kit, having options for both the 1800s and the renaissance would work well. Like how the Afgan Warriors and Calvary can be adapted ...
Can't wait for the Squamata. Not much out there with scale armor. The victrix sets have limited scale bodies, and they're sleeveless as well. Would love them to have scale sleeves on the arms...
Any chance of these (particularly the Command kit) being released digitally? I've had my eye on it for a while and I've been disappointed to see it overtaken by a few other kits in Vox Populi.
@Marko Merpovich lots of bodies I would guess. that is what ABs are for.
@Brian Van De Walker yeah.. the Apache and Comanche, while they did clash with the spanish at times, mostly are known for being opponents of the American westward colonialism in the 1800's. also u...
@Charles Tottington The big tribal conflicts with the Spanish in what would be the USA during the renaissance was with the native tribes in Flordia (which where none of those at the time) and...
@Charles Tottington frankly Perry already covers most of the Tudors pretty well with their War of the Roses line and Warlord's ECW line is generation or 2 after the Conquestdors who aga...
@Charles Tottington the The Sharps Riflemen set actually would look out of place everywhere practically but the Napoleonic era timeframe and maybe some actions in the decade just after ...
Though granted looking through stuff online and through the Warlord Games Pike and Shotte range (don't know how close English Civil War style is to Tudor Era English style) it seems like there are ...
Since this covers about an entire century. The Imperial Conquests range can cover a lot. So admittedly I've been wondering just how many different era kits can be adapted to this era. WW1 minis se...
@Brian Van De Walker Looks like I know what I'm going to be building half of the conquistadors box as.
There's also the fact that the Plains Nations were not really a monolithic thing. It really depends on which specific Nations you want to focus on and making sure they're accurate to that. Such as ...
@Brian Van De Walker Makes sense. Now I wonder how cross compatable Napoleonic British Riflemen are with WW1 era stuff. Funny thing is that I've just been getting into Fist Full of Lead. I got the...
@Brian Van De Walker this. of course, those old sets had far less customization per box. and my original post was done before we'd seen the sprue and see just how many build options WGA had cramemd...
@Charles Tottington Frostgrave has a blackpowder weapon add on rules in one of the magzines and there is always sludge, Dragon's Rampent, one page rules, Fist full of Lead, and Chain Reaction...
@Stephen Sutton the comparision would be with the the old Valkir set which I think was $40 for 20 figures back when Dreamforge was working with WGF, if your space armor knight prices are the same o...
@Charles Tottington The Conquistadors should roughly work for the English of the same timeframe of 1519-1590, any exclusive to English armor/weapon/clothing is likely ignorable if these images of E...
@Mithril2098 "only 12 figures per box?" you make it sound like that's not a lot. :P I saw a comparison to GW in some article comments, and apparently people who couldn't physically have the ...
So I've been looking for rules on WGA to use my Conquistador Models for and...... for Dread Nights I don't know what era it even is, probably late Victorian? So would my British Riflemen even make ...
@Charles Tottington An archive is being worked on, but until then you can join the server! https://discord.gg/KJ55kksT Edit: The conquistadors can work for Little Great Game, and the system...
@Hudson Adams quick question, how long are the vouchers good for? Because I bought some vouchers for modern operators a while ago and I wanted to make sure they were still good.
@Brian Van De Walker I really need to find an archive of that stuff. I don't know if I downloaded the rules for Gold, Glory, and Blood yet.
@Brian Van De Walker What you said about the Conquistadors covering most European infantry is interesting. I have a hard time figuring out how to build Conquistadors as the english but that is prob...
@Yronimos Whateley Nah, as they are for their timeframe in the Renissiance the Conquestdor sets cover for most Western European troops including the explorers/colonists except maybe really od...
@Marko Merpovich The first AB has not even funded yet and frankly I think they should cut the headswaps down to one set of options, have 3 spears to one sword/axe weapon mix with only 1 weapon to a...
@Charles Tottington There is probably few fantasy games that don't have zombies.
@Yronimos Whateley Gold, Glory and Blood did use them and I voted for it. I also voted for Guardians of Totem, knightcore, Roiters and Little Great Game which looked like fun games. Also the Lizar...
@Brian Van De Walker that is one of the games I am planning on getting into.
There was a recent contest/challenge to make a wargame out of a limited set of miniatures, and it seems to me that the Conquistadors would have been a great set to do this with - split of box of th...
The conquistador and aztec sets are excellent, but zooming out a bit on the Age of Discovery, there were more European nations exploring the world in that broad time span than just Spain, and the a...
@Charles Tottington they all looked a lot like the spanish at that time though (like the norwegians and English look close enough), heck I am pretty sure the set only has pikes so it can cover most...
@Charles Tottington give KoW a chance.
@Charles Tottington Mix thier ranks with Warlord landsknects and avoid using the morion helmets. As to games any ruleset with the word "pike" in it's title will likely cover both sets.
Why is it when I think of Landsknechts I think of Centurii Chan?
So I just got a box of conquistadors today and I wanted to figure out what to do with them. I've already come to the decision that I would make four of them into greatsword weilders, and at least 1...
I think one decent expansion to the Renaissance range would be including non-Spanish soldiers from Europe to include..... just about everyone else. I myself am wondering what a historical Tudor Era...
Looks great, I've got a box arriving soon with some foot knights from age of chivalry.
Oh wait, Brian already covered that. Also, why were the conquistador heads cut out? I would have liked to have used those heads for zombie conquistadors since I just got a set of conquistadors tod...
@Yronimos Whateley I'm surprised you forgot about Dracula's America when it comes to the cowboy zombie heads, since that takes place in an America ruled by..... well..... Drac. So there would be pl...
@Brian Van De Walker The difference would only be in the price per figure givent that the army builder is $34.95 for 48 bodies. That and i am not a big fan of Gripping beast. :)
@William Redford hmm, I am not sure the AB would be much diffrent from using the old Grippong Beast Dark Age warriors to soak up parts, but okay.
@Chris Pryme Why no howdah?
