I have so many wants it's hard to surprise me with stuff I wasn't already hoping for, but I really wasn't expecting the Alien Trees to grab me as much as they did.

Totally behind a Nautical themed month. Maybe frame it as "Ships and those that sail upon them" so the boats and/or Spacers can get included? "Boarding Parties" is also generic enough for ...
I did notice a bit of a phase change from before production moved to the US to after. My guess is that the US team now have a lot more work to do, a lot more stuff they really can't discuss and le...
Same as Vietnam : https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/lt-gen-hal-moore-an-american.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Were_Soldiers You should try to read the book, the fi...
@Geoff Maybury , pm'd you.
Does any one know if it`s a good base to actually learn how from a civilians view, (myself), we ended up seemingly lossing the "Action", and leaving all in chaos. For some I know this subjec...
I`ve been on Ospreys site drooling at brian food for "Nam, and other items, with just the wish to learn, one thing I found was this book.
My compeer Geoff... I'm happy to read that your problem is way to be resolved. Stoic and fair-play under fire, no doubt, you are a true son of Albion. Izan ontsa.
For Seamen/Mariners: Maybe conversion parts to turn Cannon Fodder into hard hat divers.
@Alessio De Carolis Just because you don't have an interest doesn't mean there isn't one. Female Napoleonic miniatures are having a mini renaissance right now. (Pun intended). At leas...
I read in a book about ACW, that one of the reasons Army's medical corps ordered a "total" medical exam on new recruits was to avoid that some females enlisted as males (some cases really happened)...
In sci-fi & fantasy females' figures would be OK, but in history? Nope, except for the Red Lanterns (pratically females' equivalent for the Boxers). Logically you've to consider a product's mar...
@Steffen Seitter Not to mention they should announce when the next SPQR content is coming - I've been waiting for Germanicus and those new Imperial Legionary sculpts that they teased ages ago for o...
@Grumpy Gnome Its likely they still exist as a business with no assets, just a LLC.
@Mark Dewis Actually, the Dreamforge logo IS on the Eisenkern boxes. The symbol right news to the word 'Iron-Core' on the front is the 'DFG' logo.
@Miyuso That's really clever. And Pirate Ogres would be awesome.
For Seamen/Mariners, maybe some Chinese Pirates with characters.
@JTam 2 Birds one stone for Pirates would be a set of Ogre/Vain parts that Piratify both options
Well the old stock was manufactured by Wargames Factory, who are no longer in operation. I don't know what status Dreamforge has as a business entity these days, but as their name is NOT on the box...
Well we had that but too many people bitched about it and it got taken down...
Set I didn't know I wanted but was an awesome surprise? Definitely the WW1 Combat Nurses:
@Grumpy Gnome Its exclusively old surplus, from what I can see. None of the new stuff, must be trying to make room.
The theme for March 2023 is females. I'm sure we will see this theme repeat as there's so much one can do. I'm hoping for female bodies compatible with the plastic arms from existing sets.&n...
Maybe "Minor Powers/Lesser Known"? Stradiots: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44291/next-for-the-range?page=2 Illyrians: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xen...
Or how about "Seamen/Mariners"? Print em up and drench your table top with seamen. The WW1/RCW and WW2 Russian/Soviet Sailors could be compatible... Making an awesome flexible set. ...
An obvious theme is "Heavy Support" to help round out existing sets. Kits could look something like this: https://youtu.be/0deTf57rUqE Other welcome WW2 "Heavy Support": Male and...
We have this excellent thread going for individual kit ideas. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/81951/digital-wish-list This thread is to present monthly theme ideas. I will ...
@Geoff Maybury Anvil Industries sell strips of individual robot heads ( e.g. https://anvilindustry.co.uk/exo-lord-cyclops-automata-heads-3) which may help if you don't get any joy with the replacem...
We've been talking about downsides of Atlantic Digital a lot recently, but I want to talk about an upside: what sets from the digital initiative have been the biggest surprise wins for you? There ...
They should just announce the next Epic Battles Setting instead of posting "every day nonsense we do" on their FB-Page...
@JTam I really liked Battle: Los Angeles and most of my buddies did too. I remember watching it in the barracks with my squadmates in 2012. We made Jokes about how lucky we were to only have to fac...
@Geoff Maybury Thanks for the info mate. They do look great. Too bad about the missing heads. Hopefully they will make it right.
Last night an E-mail said my order was despatched, to arrive today, which it did, before 11am as stated. I was really pleased I opened the package to find a blister pack it contained the phot...
@JTamMale form of "don`t get your panties in a twist". WE really enjoyed Jung-E, the story, and the filming, to wards the end, Eileen was saying "She`d better excape". A Robo Cop morals twist, ...
@JTam Personally I play 'The Kingdom is Ours' for ECW. Great little ruleset, I'm just waiting for some Warlord Epic Battles ECW figures to use with it! (Have been using paper squares and rec...
Entries are now closed for this january contest. We've had an overwhelming 70 entries in response to this competition. Frankly, we don't know yet how we're going to whittle it down, as we expected...
@Blutze While 3d printing is far from being perfect, if user printers are able to produce resin miniatures without visible lines (the lines are always there, but if you zoom in enough on any surfa...
@Geoff Maybury Also, LOL at "Y" fronts. Descriptive. I had never heard the term before.
There are a few bits of GW promo material that are worth talking about. They've been printing prototypes and models to be painted for box art since at least 2013, maybe even 2008. And on the 7th ed...
Kit afftected: Maori Revolt Part/s affected: Arm01R.stl Scope of issue: This is a right arm with a left shoulder.
@Grumpy Gnome same.
@JTam Those Chetniks seem to from “Force 10 From Navarone”... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fqnR05az6o
@Mark Dewis the Kickstarter idea is a good one. I would definitely support that. I will reserve full judgement in the voting until we have actually seen it in play.
@Mark Dewis That robotic centipede is the stuff of nightmares mate.
@JTam Yeah, its a nice bit of kit! I got it from dreamforge themselves on ebay. Should make good command for a modest Company, though I may leave the snipers unbuilt in favor of the new Stormtroope...
Battle: Los Angeles wasn't perfect, but it was entertaining, for sure. I actually liked Tue "autopsy" scene. Its an alien with alien anatomy; they had to figure out which organs were th...
