@Brian Van De Walker you make some good points. I'd love to see Sassanian Persians and Huns be the major focus of these releases. Although I do have Republican Romans, Gauls, and Successor Greek ar...

If you wanted to spin it as a sci-fi kit, I think the best way would be to give it a couple steampunk bits. That way you can have stuff like robot arms, clockwork monocles, and space lasers without...
@Brian Van De Walker Well yes, when I refer to the average horde army player's caveman brain, I am referring mostly to myself. GOD I love human wave tactics
@Mithril2098 agreed though honestly I kinda of felt the CF where done with the infantry sets, like maybe add an RPG team for big battles so its more fun but as a team I feel they they are just sent...
@Mithril2098 Hmm, 40k's lore is such a diverse pile of bile with thousands of Human planets with there own cultures that no those would actually work fine for the 41st millennium nobelity and...
deathfields has civilian kits in WGA digital, and they're more alongthe lines of star wars or "near future scifi" than warhammer 40k. if you are looking more for 'multipart civilia...
@Mithril2098 Thanks everyone for the discussion. I never realised just how long and prevalent tights / leggings were high fashion. I certainly see pre ww2 trousers and jeans fashion in a ne...
It looks like Blacksite Studio have made a game just for OP: https://blacksitestudio.com/en-gb/pages/kosmika
eh, i like mantic's monobikes, design wise at least. and i was aiming at more of a 'scout infantry' element for that army. in the end i went with an armored car instead. personally i'm hoping that ...
@Mithril2098 if you had a 3D printer, there would likely be better options than mantic's monowheels, like you could probably do this one:
Okay the pristen sprue pics finally reached the right device, you can see what I mean though these are bikers on horses:
@timbus the thirteenth it does look epic though.
Monowheels would be neat. and they'd certainly resolve the controls issue, since steering on those is more down to shift of balance, with the handlebars generally being just for holding on. i'd wan...
Yeah, on second thought, it's not like horses don't need special arms and bodies to work with riders either. The current grognards cavalry set doesn't have any physical reins, either, so it wouldn'...
@Brian Van De Walker Gates of Antares by Warlord has these guys, which have a sorta biomechanical vibe. Maybe full mechsuits wouldn't be possible, but weird combinations of harvester organisms and ...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, people have done it with mixed models, and it usually sucks and is unfun when its actually on the board. It's more a matter of just how much it appeals to the average hor...
@Brian Van De Walker The main thing that I think makes the palmyrenes look so fantasy-y is probably a mix of two things. First of all, they're from a kinda esoteric period, so you don't look at the...
Well, my pledge did come in, now I am trying to get the photos off my phone and failing and for some reason I can't post the official sprue shot, so I will just give an overveiw of it a...
@timbus the thirteenth Hmm, I think have seen someone do it with a mix off brand models (honestly I probably could if I actually wanted to, but why?)
@Mithril2098 But we do already there is a horse box and a Chariot box🤣 That joke aside, the arm issue, etc. could be worked around likely already fake future bike controls don't need to be in the ...
the collar being closed and turned up that high is probably more of a hollywood thing, but that style of greatcoat (sometimes called a watchcoat) certainly was a thing. if you got a few hundred buc...
@timbus the thirteenth The Travel coat would certianly work for alot, tricornes... I guess it reminds me of homeschool Americian history too much.
@Mithril2098 Biomechanical mech suits kinda of sounds like a tough theme to pull off in 28mm models to me but I am welling to be proved wrong.
@timbus the thirteenth LOL those neo-pagans would be more confused goofball than some Yu-Gi-Oh monster in thier own top 10 back storys I have been bing watching on youtube, WA should totally do/not...
@Mithril2098 Yeah I get what your saying, the palmyrenes just have this fantasy vibe to them and I am not sure why WA isn't doing them next in the Decline and fall range.
howabout mechanical walkers, ala the cawdor ridgewalkers in 40K? and agreed that motorbikes might be trickier to make universal, but some sort of wheeled transport might still be f...
@Chaos stu painting Not sure if you're in the horus heresy community, but there's a way to make a list in that game with over 1000 conscript bodies! It's a bit of white whale in the community, just...
@Mithril2098 Wholeheartedly agree. I've been expanding into cavalry for some of my armies and I'd love an option that doesn't require as much kitbashing. Fortunately WGA seems quite interested in m...
basically what the title says. i kinda wish that we'd get some boxes of cavalry mount options that just exist to be options for cavalry, without them being tied to specific faction cavalry boxes, o...
I have just received my damned order today (uk backer) I just need to order a ton of bases now haha .I'm very happy with them. My plan is to convert a load and paint them in the colours of the moeb...
Man I'd kill for some palmyrenes in plastic. Had plans for a kings of war army based around them, but was never able to find anything affordable that matched well. It evolved into a more classic EI...
@Brian Van De Walker For orcs I was picturing mutant war of the roses knights, but honestly I like your idea better. Maybe the einharjar have a bunch of random modern neopagans running around with ...
This is a little off topic, but I've been dreaming for a while of a 1600s-1800s travel wear set. For whatever reason, I can't for the life of me find any pictures of actual examples outside of magi...
@Mithril2098 Yeah, I am sure someone will try to counter argue you on it but honestly its true Europe was pretty much same-same looking. The most fun looking thing to me as a fantasy army builder f...
@Anthony Edwards the set includes Grenadiers and Voltiguers too
largely agree. western europe was pretty monotonous in terms of equipment and uniforms, for both the romans and their main 'barbarian' enemies at the time. and they're fairly well covered by existi...
@Yronimos Whateley Actually for realistic Ice Age mega funa there is couple of routes you could take, the in the box route is 3D printing. However there is already a couple dedicated prepainted edu...
@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.
