@Yronimos Whateley Nope, trust me Bubba has more hacksawed hi-points in the back of that truck than rusty SKS and M44 at this point (like 20 hipoints for every SKS or M44 out in the wilds for north...

@Don Williams Not going to lie I had near zero interest when they already announced plans on a Dark Age light Cavalry that basicly going to cover everything light cavalry from Late rome to th...
to give you an idea.. this is first half 16th century english clothing for the high society (1500-1550 or so) the later half of the century the mens stuff looks more like this: though there ...
@Charles Tottington alongside plate armored knights, mid to late 19th (Victorian) seems to have the most visual versatility for nobels since you can fit them in most genric modern/class...
no reason you couldn't do a set of biomechanical aliens as well. do it right, and maybe you could even combine them as a facrtion, like the aliens from the Independance Day films, where 'Greys' sty...
Greys are fun and all but I have always thought Xenomorph style aliens but as invaders with guns and melee weapons (like axes) would be cool. Like they could give them a whole race history wi...
I hope they bring out more upgrade sprues for the operators,i am thinking of buying some and using reptilian overlords cobra trooper heads to make the bad guys in gi joe.I am also thinking of buyin...
I'm hoping that with a few tweaks to the molds, WA and Piano will release a boatload of similar boxes of greatcoat-clad men to fill out the massed ranks of infantry. Especially important would be A...
Now that Wargames Atlantic has begun to release cavalry into its plastic box lineup, might there be interest among the legion for an expansion into the Decline and Fall era? I can think of lots of...
@Charles Tottington iirc it's "Hide, Stone, and Bone", a skirmish game of paleolithic hunting and survival. you play a stone age tribe trying to survive. https://www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-revi...
i'd personally suggest that if you go the minimech route, you make it fit on a 25mm (if only just) to simplify the basing. just go for more of a 'tall' rather than 'bulky' look perhaps with emphasi...
@Yronimos Whateley Which sets do you think are more cyberpunk leaning? I've been wondering what minis would work well for Cyberpunk.
@Willdunn3cr Honestly, with all the different styles throughout the centuries, you'd be better off with a fantasy set to cover that. Granted it also depends on which of the big three to four styles...
Renedra does sets of gambions, barrels (both wood and steel), sandbags, several forms of wooden and stone fencing, and the Chevaux de Frise for 28mm in plastic. and mantic does assorted fences, sto...
@Hudson Adams The standardized dollies feature is a very cool idea that really helps with consistent scaling. I wonder how this will affect the Einherjar since they have shorter arms. I've been con...
You know given my original plans for the Damned was to make an army based off of the Peasant's Crusade, and originally dropped that plan because I wasn't so sure how to adapt a medieval army concep...
@Dark Don Osprey has Prehistoric rules? I'd love to see them. But yeah, Cavemen and Neanderthals would probably fall under the Pulp range given one of the caveman things WGA has is a T-Rex that can...
One thing I just realized, we've probably got to consider whether we want to include psychic greys/martians in the proposed set or have them be their own induvidual set of grey/martian commanders r...
@Brian Van De Walker I always figured on making orcs in space to be some sort of mutant ape man with the options of being either hairy or hairless if we want to go for the Warhammer/Classic Warcraf...
@Brian Van De Walker "...on rare occasions Russia, China, etc. other user find ignored piles of SKS and sell them off to the private market, so they kind of flux between being a high price gun and ...
What Drangir said on all counts: Weapon swaps are super-easy. Simple spears are pretty easy as weapon swaps go, just trim off the old weapon, use a pin-vice and fine drill-bits of ap...
those are fan made models (looking like modified red skull figures?) and don't look much like the reavers from firefly (which we never saw in person until the film serenity.) the ones from the fil...
@Yronimos Whateley It's funny, I used to play with an army of plastic toy knights, now I'm out here debating with people about what are ultimately just fancy toy knights. Some things never change, ...
@Secret Apprentice Yeah, WGA will sometimes screw up what bits are actually in the box. For example, the grognards command/heavy sprue doesn't have any gas mask + adrien helmets, despite the webpa...
The heavy infantry are going to be the one kit that comes closest to "proper" sci-fi aesthetic, with the armor being somewhat comparable to Star Wars stormtroopers, and most of their weaponry being...
WGA needs to take that machine gun Damned Infantry model and throw it away. I can't believe it made it onto the army box art, when the Damned Infantry don't come with that arm set. I'm kind ...
@timbus the thirteenth i've seen people in the VSF and fantasy gaming communities use toy dino's for 'lost world' games, both the lower end stuff and the higher quality collectable types. i suspect...
That's what Gary Gygax and his friends did for D&D way back in the days before there was a dedicated fantasy wargaming miniatures industry, and it's how some of that game's most enduring monste...
Sounds like fun! Wargames Atlantic really hit it out of the park with their Pulp Adventure lines since then, between the Agents, Operators, Survivors, and (currently digital-only but surely destin...
A couple years ago I was playing around with the idea of a dungeon-crawler type wargame set in a modern x-files type world. The agents didn't exist yet, so I was using ooh rah for the soldier-types...
I'd also add that the satyr kit is great for giving you a bit more variety in shirtless arms. I'm using them for my own shirtless barbarian projects, and there's no real fur on the arm, meaning the...
I've not had a chance to do anything like that (yet), but I definitely think the Agents would make excellent Mulder-and-Scully/Men-in-Black/Delta-Green style G-Men for skirmishing against cryptids,...
@timbus the thirteenth "I'm getting flashbacks to the warlord samurai kit. twenty or so arms per sprue, all paired up, unlabeled, and in zero discernible order. so long as wga isn't pulling that ki...
The Black Bear Tribe is my favorite, and the Jade Fire clan is pretty well-done as well. I think all of the Reaper prehistoric tribes should blend reasonably well with Wargames Atlantic's dig...
@Willdunn3cr "" With that in mind, the Digital catalogue also includes a wonderful "Committee of Public Safety" set (which really ought to be moved from "Napoleonic Conquests" to "Age of R...
@timbus the thirteenth "It's a shame, I feel like some of WGA's most unique and interesting designs are stuck in the realm of digital. Obviously I could just learn to work with resin, but it certai...
@Yronimos Whateley @Yronimos Whateley Yeah I think your correct; the kit has legs to be a jumping off point for fantasy kitbashing rather than trying to accommodate for historics. I'm bias...
@Willdunn3cr umm, 16th century nobles dressed very diffrently from 19th century nobles, same deal with those inbetween, and there was fasion diffrences for each nation as well (and let GW make its ...
@timbus the thirteenth Honestly orcs and elves in space should just be human based LOTR larping nerds or the decendents of larper that got a little too creative with the DNA therapy.
@timbus the thirteenth the "people of the dawnlands" was one of the cavemen sets mentioned earlier by @Yronimos Whateley i beleive. along with the "black bear tribe" set. People of the dawn...
It's a shame, I feel like some of WGA's most unique and interesting designs are stuck in the realm of digital. Obviously I could just learn to work with resin, but it certainly feels like everybody...
Speaking of reaper, you could also try using the "people of the dawnlands" from their reaper black line. It's four to a box, 10.99 USD, which is fine for starting out a small tribe. Reaper in gener...
Salvar chem dogs mentioned‼️ what the hell is structured regimental leadership???
I don't actually do any Warhammer gaming and don't know the lore, so take me with a grain of salt, but it seems to me that an elaboration on the Digital Atlantic Traditional Vampires set is surely ...
Short of WA adding something, Reaper had (has?) some fine "Bones" plastic megafauna from one of their crowdfunders several years ago that included a nicely-detailed mammoth, sloth, and a few others...
the digital side has some Neanderthal figures ([Link 1], [link 2]), and frankly i wouldn't mind seeing those make it to plastic. especially if it was geared more as a 'RPG friendly' set with a lot ...
With the release of Ospreys new primitive/prehistoric rules book it seems like now is as good a time as any to discuss WGA reaching deep into the primordial presses and drop some primitives on us a...
Thanks for posting the pics and the info! Ive been thinking about getting a box of the grunts to make some Chem Dogs for my guard army.
@Mithril2098 Great idea! Options are always great in a model!
if the 'dome head slavers' are meant to be a mars attacks style alien, i think you could probably combine them and the grey's into one set by just having a basic spacesuit type outfit and a collect...
