@Alessio De Carolis 1. You are perfectly correct rolling sleeves in combat is dumb. 2. The USMC does it all the time.

First rate work! Great to see this printed and painted. Thank You.
@Alessio De Carolis They certainly would work for the Hungarian Uprising. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Corvin_Passage https://hungarytoday.hu/young-h...
I would tend to agree with@JTam on the Neanderthals. Diversity within Homo Sapiens I get but to my eye those two skulls definitely look like different species.
@Mark Dewis If you can look at those two skulls and think a bit of skin and flesh stretched across the "two-head", massive brow ridges, and crushing jaw of the Neanderthal will make him fit ...
How about near future military astronauts? Multipart plastic guys looking something like this:
They could be perfect with some ODST-like helmet, only complaint about these beautiful minis are the rolled sleeves, very dangerous in some environments. I hope that there will be more sets, such a...
You could try to modify the legs with GS, making ankle lenght boots, to simulate a combat uniform. All these figures are a bless for kitbashing and conversion, I hope that they'll make also a femal...
Female combatants' bodies could be also useful for other conversions, consider that from early '30s till late '50s female dresses didn't changed much, at least for lower/working class. So these cou...
They look amazing! The shadows in the white cloth are coinflip for me. They look still great.
From a business point of view I understand this system. You will learn which product is the safest bet to create/release. But I will not use it. If I am going to pay for Warring States infantry to ...
Hello, as with my last post, I didn't know that I really needed a few monks. But something about the characters drew me in and I couldn't resist printing and painting some of them. The Mast...
Given that the plastic pipeline is several years away from being cleared, I think you can assume any teaser that doesn't line up with a known pipeline kit is going to be digital for at least a coup...
@JTam the main difference is a longer, lower skull. Hair hides most of that. And Homo Neanderthalensis were humans, just as validly as Homo Sapiens. We know they interbred. Here are some Homo Sap...
To clarify: at 1000 votes, a set gets put into the fast track queue. Every kit you see available for votes is actively being worked on. This just helps prioritize the schedule based...
And it should be stressed that the 1000 vote thing just fast tracks the set. Likely meaning that it will get priority over other kits at the same stage of development to move to the next stage. A k...
Pulp Fantasy is one of the easiest to envision. Nearly all the "classic" fantasy literature such as Conan, Solomon Kane, Tarzan, the Sword series by Leiber are what I consider Pulp fiction. Bigger ...
@Grumpy Gnome Well that does sound very positive. I certainly like the concept, sounds like the execution is excellent as well.
@Sean Tighe Where is this?
@Mark Dewis I don't think Neanderthals should be mistakable for humans. Albeit I wasn't there.

Anyone else have any issues with the French resistance torsos? Lychee isn't finding a problem, but I've twice printed them and had the legs on every torso misprint. Could be a coincidence,...
Like I said on MMF, the gladiator bits are going to be great additions to the Damned forces. I might steal a head for a base of a Turnip28 figure too. Great set! The Neanderthals looks fantastic a...
To be honest the scheme didn't sit well on first glance. The cost feels a bit icky. And having the release be based on a vote, rather than when sets are ready just doesn't sit well with me. Ses tha...
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about it but maybe some other people are having the same problem. When I try to apply one of the gift cards at checkout I get a notification saying "T...
FEB 2023 issue of Wargames Illustrated:
@Grumpy Gnome There was someone on Facebook planning to drop a few boxes' worth on votes for Napoleonic Spanish, so maybe not too surprising. I stopped ordering directly from ...
I notice the theme name got adjusted and Neanderthals moved from Blood Oaths, so we can put to rest any discussion about why they count as rebels. Good sets! These are historical Neanderthals base...
Hopefully ponies, but WGA may need to cater to popular army lists. So it could end up being goats or something.
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy it's not a democracy or a social structure. It's a business. Politics has nothing to do with it. I won't be buying votes as such, but expect that when I have an order planned f...

Good fellows... I'm honestly quite pissed off. Or... "Je suis honnêtement assez dépité", disappointed, surprised (bad surprise). You all seem to find normal that we have to pay...

@Lord Marcus Great. Thank You.
Frankly speaking, it looks like it's already descended.

@JTam You get 4 x $5 gift codes. Yes you can stack codes and effectively buy boxed sets.
@Lord Marcus Do you have an answer for this? Thank You.
@Ten Fingered Jack how is it a con-job? You get your money back in a gift cert that you can put towards future purchases, including an eventual pre-order of the kit you voted for?
@Marc Nelson Jr. Army builders are large number of models / lower amount of options and poses. See the prussian reserve kit for an example.
@Hudson Adams It does appear to me that this cyber attack is actually directly affecting WGA after all if you consider the partnership with Only Games for physical prints of WGA STLs. h...
@Grumpy Gnome the key thing with nazi's and their ilk is to get across how wrong their ideas are and to make them look bad. Brooks's method works well for comedy and less serious works. i per...
@William Redford this mindset sounds similar to "My vote won't matter, so why do it?" Which is a false statement. Your vote does matter. It gets a kit that much closer. Of course, your reasons for...
@Sean Tighe Atlantic digital is more of an all-encompassing subscription which covers the wargames atlantic ranges, and should be treated as such. What do you think of the subscription in terms of...
Well... nothing really happens until a set gets 1000 votes right? So $5000 gets a set put at the top of the list. Napoleanic spanish has 30 votes. So essentially someone preordered a 5 box deal...&...
@Alessio De Carolis I see your point, it is infact the same point I have previously made. I have enjoyed the portrayal of Imperial characters in Andor just as I enjoyed the competent and scary...
