Christmas is two of these machines.
@John Wilson I got all the right items, and a bare chested sprue of ancient figures. Perfect, just as Rubicons Shearhead "Nam" delivery arrived. So now I`ve Bare chests, for the gun cre...
I have had particularly good experiences with Warlord Games customer service.
@JTam Yeah, I sent them an email yesterday. I forgot to mention they put free stuff in to the orders as well. I got a WW2 US infantry sprue, along with a Doctor Who River Song figure in one and a R...
I think there's a gap in the market for multi-part post-apocalyptic figures in a few flavours - call them Urban Decay, Atomic Wasteland and Nuclear Winter. Would be perfect for all manner of skirmi...
@William Ings Why does Centurii Chan pop up in my mind when looking at this?
By the looks of it, yeah the arms are the biggest problem. Luckly we have gobbo and lizard arms. Can't wait for these guys to have a plastic counterpart (which might come with even more head option...
Couldn't particularly care about perfectly scale-matching GW stuff. Here's the whole gang - at least until the WW1 MG teams come out. 😅
@Alessio De Carolis I think most soldiers are FINE if someone shoots them in the tall hat, as long as they miss the actual head. But these styles only became impractical with the breech loading ri...
@Mithril2098 agreed. Anyone wanting bulk figures is going to get the main boxes anyway and will probably end up with extra guys.
@Lidless Eye while there were Cossacks and proto-Cossacks earlier, they mostly came to prominence in the 15th Century, which fits in with WGA's Renaissance line. Terminology is slippery - "Medieval...
As usual, I'd love to see some medieval Cossacks. They could have options for sci-fi or horror bits to fit as Dracula's Guard types.
For general barefoot robed figures, I reccommend the Perry Ansar Warrior Sprue. They make VERY good Thuggee. Head swap in from Afghans, although there are a couple of turban heads on the sprue a...
@John Wilson I'd contact them. They'll probably send you the missing sprues and tell you to keep the other ones. Warlord has excellent customer service in my experience.
For me, I like the idea of "Support" options. A large cauldron and cooking stuff for Halflings to add to their scenery (or convert into a catapult), a Banner bearer for Riflemen, corpsmen for a Gre...
This tank is well thought out, refined and very effective. Franchement, je suis vraiment admiratif... Your work is of exceptional quality, and it's also recycling : 100% good for the planet ! I re...
I mean, I'm of the opinion that the ancient powers of Mesopotamia - Sumeria, Babylon or at least mighty Assyria need some plastic love to begin with :D
Well, mesopotamian mythology is a little ignored, it's not so mainstream such as Mediterranean or Norsca's ones, so it could be a different approach, also Aegyptian divinities are a little neglecte...
I would LOVE some Mesopotamian cult priests -Ishtar and Marduk would both be great to give a variety of male and female priests.
At least these robed figures are more flexible, without boots you can set them in various ages, after all it's more easy making shoes with GS than feet. given that most cults didn't allow shoes in ...
@Mold Cool? Yes, but highly impratical, with such an headgear a soldier would became the biggest target on a battlefield, expecially against a SMLE or a Mauser!
Well, I have two of three of my orders from Warlord and its mostly right, they got my three female equipment sprues mixed up with the female survivor sprues. So, less AKs then I wanted but extra fi...
@JTam You're right, +humans have different heights and physical dimensions, but surely GW modified their minis to outpace the various not-official manifacturers that make figures and accessories in...
@Nanashi Anon Iron Core Eisenkern Valkir flamethrower and grenade launcher, there are pictures of them from the dreamforge days before they went OP.
@Brian Van De Walker It would be cool to have that bearskin for hypotheticals like the image below lol.
"Priestly" might be better name for the theme. Although strictly speaking a cult is just the devotees of one god. So there's no real problem coming up with Cult of Mithras or Cult of Ishtar figures...
Was busy this weekend and nobody posted it. Seems like it's Heavy Weapons for Death Fields.
Another fun idea: lovecraft through the ages. It could center on a set of hooded cultists universal for the theme, but then each range has it's own take on the high priesthood - some, like ancient ...
I would also love some orcs or goblins with pikes, marching in formation, but that's probably just me.
eh.. ideally you'd want to get as close to 1/2 the size of a normal box as possible. i would argue 11 figures is viable, especially when you consider the added customization sprue. 5 men and 6 wo...
Pike and musket blocks are another good candidate for simple pose models. Conquistadores - especially that style of soldier in a European context - only need about three poses for each weapon style...
To be fair, the theme only needs ONE example for each of the 11 very broad lines. World Ablaze could be sorted with Russian Snipers, Renaissance with alternate heads for the Conquistadores. "Femal...
It would not surprise me in the slightest if GW have at least partially done this to counter the established not-Guard manufacturers. Although the new minis do look better, so it's probably more of...
@Lord Marcus 100% yes. Late Roman Legion female Soldiers. Female Panzer Lehr Infantrymen. Etc.
I printed and painted one of The Damned. I'm really happy with how it came out, but working on it I was just thinking about how much fun I could have with a multi-part plastic kit. Yeah, I could pr...
Interesting... I've never thought on sisters by the valkyr... I would use GW-sisters for my army but this is much better... Ohhhh... that would be a very expensive order by WA... 🤣
@Lord Marcus aww nuts... thought I smelled a loop hole. :)
@Alessio De Carolis See that was my favorite Airfix box but yeah some people prefer action. However, people like their miniatures on the march too as that dominates the way Napoleonic to the Americ...
@William Redford That would be a question directly for Wargames Atlantic. At this time I am not taking 3D printing requests as I am digging myself out of a very large backlog of orders.
@Lord Marcus question. If I have a tribes membership. And you have a tribe's membership. Does that mean I could pay you to print things for me... since Iwe both own the files .. even though t...
@Lord Marcus yes. Since it's unlikely that you will ever find a box of historic female Napoleonic stuff in hard plastic, the digital stuff is a perfect platform for stuff like that.
The replica of this boat, "La Victoria", exists. I saw "her" once, to my great surprise, moored in a small port of the Basque Country. "She" was inaugurated at the Universal Exhibition of Sevilla (...
Thank you, my friend from the Antipodes... The VCOs wore the sword at the start of the war, which designated them as officers : we can clearly see the straps on the left side. The tropical light ...
@Red Bee the grognard cavalry files can be bought currently, as can the plastic horses you would need to finish them?
@JTam to confirm: Y'all are advocating for female models, even for historical time periods where females did not regularly serve in military forces (late roman legions, for example?)
@Patrick Salvail Really, really impressive! Well done. @Alessio De Carolis Good link.
@Alessio De Carolis The new models are just a touch taller. All the newer GW 40K humans have been thinner and more realistically proportioned of late. It's a great step forwar...
Don't forget that they were also (greatly) helped by diseases, expecially smallpox, which the natives weren't accustomed, entire tribes/nations were devastated/wiped out by these terrrible viruses,...
