@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?
@Hudson Adams In its current planned state😆, I bet a nickle it will not sell as well as a Warring States baggage train set let alone 2x what you guys actually have planned for WSC considering the d...
@Hudson Adams I know we don't have the back end numbers and we don't know what's going on in marketing and all that, but it's been on preorder for a bit and it's still sitting at <30% on the fun...
If "The Greatest Sport is War" you don't just want your team to win, you want them to look good doing so. As such it probably wouldn't be strange for somebody to pick up some Polish horsemen from ...
Some pistoliers with the Renn hevy cav kit.
I know this would be more "fantasy" but the bodies could be painted to look like poor, unarmored troops.
I know this is an old thread but there doesnt seem to be much movemnt in this section of the boards. I am thinking about getting the daark ages army buider set and using those bodies to soak up the...
Neighboring clans meet on the field of battle to determine the who will control the area. Noble samurai assemble their ashigaru to settle the dispute once and for all(or at least for now )
Super hyped for these when they finally release. This is what I would love to see: - if they're operators and not uniformed army, then I think they can get away with less uniformality on the head ...
@Brian Van De Walker ha we'll see. I'm sure the Dark Age set will sell 2x at least what Warring States does.
Good, because, "out of the trenches" is exactly the look I was hoping to achieve. And as I know nothing of photography I will take any advice into consideration.
@Drangir Honestly wish the damned cav came with cheap motorbikes instead of boom lances (bike are way more Postapoc and cultist), but that is not what is sadly😆. That said while I do ag...
So the ruleset creation contest is now open to voting on its first catagory here. Its divided up into 4 catagories, First up is Fantasy. I voted for my own ruleset Cold Blooded Honor ...
Pretty neat, they all look like from a single unit despite being vastly different models! Love the grounded style and "out of trenches" vibe of army that fight a long campaign. Small tip, where's ...
@Brian Van De Walker I guess it's also a matter of lack of proof they've been used or lackluster mentions of the wings in the literature, like from the writers from the other side. Not sure though,...
Mostly Cannon Fodder and Grognards with some others mixed in along with GW IG stuff with some conversions and, forgive me, some attempts at sculpting.
@Drangir I saw the VM version and found them lacking, no bionic eyes, no "death head" gasmasks, no lizard people cloaks. In short they look like historical miniatures with modern webbing and scifi ...
I'd be rather interested in SE Asian forest elfs, especially if they could have an Elephant (no Howdah thanks).
@Big Boi The AB is just another Dark Age Warrior set with a ton of heads left over, would rather hear more about the Warring States Chinese sets, get the feeling more people with real investment we...
@Drangir I have heard all sorts of "historians" online make claims about how "this armor/clothing/whatever was for parade use only" and then find examples those same pieces with bullet and blade de...
This is the prefect opprotunity to make a whole new post about the dark age army builder to help get it closer to that funding goal though 😁
Remember that "Husaria" as Polish heavy cavalry operating from 1500-1800 are quite different from many units called hussars under other nations - after that hussars remained on the battlefields fie...
@Drangir yeah, the intent of my question was for Historicals, not Death Fields. while i get this is a DF thread, a historicals winged lancers set would be in fairly decent demand if done in plastic...
