An icredible job, for your next project, if employed in an urban war scenario, can I suggest the old (very hard sci-fi) Berlin Brigade camo scheme ? https://www.emlra.org/index.php/library/general...

@H M Exactly, if you think that the army that defeated Attila's Huns was composed (contrary to common people's/Hollywood belief) pratically only by Rome's allies or barbarian mercenaries, it seems ...
@BS Kitbasher Crocodile Games' Amazons are really well done, plus there are a lot of female characters in the same range that could be inserted in their army, Lucid Eyes' are also well done, with t...
@Miyuso This was my idea when voted for Sea Elves, logically they should be not armoured and light kitted, after all being in armour on a boat is a little too dangerous.
@Grumpy Gnome These seems really beutiful minis, I hope they'll give justice to the protagonists, this period is really fascinating (as long you don't live in it!). Plus these minis could be used a...
Lower classes were more concerned with praticity than fashion, this was the primary reason for so few differences btw 13th till early 16 century. And some weapons employed by infantry (very well!) ...
@JTam You get the bike and foot bases Tam, and guess what thats part my X-mas present, from Eileen she saw your post went on and bingo. Waited for these sprues for along time, very suprised y...
Reportedly some folks made use of Zombiesmith’s Black Friday sale to procure some Quar Christmas presents for me.
@Mark Dewis Yes thes only time the Guards ever went into combat with bearskins was during the Crimean War. Although, my favorite uniform from that conflict has to be the rifle brigade which again d...
Public Service Announcement: The Warlord Black Friday sale is still going. The Biker Gang box is still in the clearance section for $29.00. That's a decent price. But Warlord...
Got a box in from Warlord from their Black Friday sale. They have free shipping to the USA at $80 now... And unfortunately $80 is way to easy to get to these days. Anyway here's the loot: The ...
Share your Black Friday / Cyber Monday hobby loot here. Live vicariously or help others to ;)
@Geoff Maybury There were some decent sales. On the other hand an item being 25% off now means it costs what it did a year ago (at least in the USA). The Warlord sale is still ...
My favorite design so far is from Crocodile games, followed by McDougall's fantasy/comic book amazons. I'd also be interested in the leopard-print amazons and the other Scythian type (I alrea...
@Mark Dewis Exactly. Considering Mordheim was a $60 game in a box 20+ years ago, $85 for the Kill Team starter set (game in a box) isn't too bad.
Absolutely hoping for WGA to do their Mercenaries and Militia. You already know from my review video how I think the Conquistadors are perfect for Mordheim, and these guys are literally an improved...
The weapons in this set are wonderful. I immediately saw potential for my Turnip 28 forces. Those rakes will make great Loper feet (my favorite force), and there's lots of Red Ribbon potential on ...
@Mold as it happens, the bearskin look is around for the Crimean war. What you're asking for are army fillers for the British foot guards (Grenadier, Coldstream and Scots).
@Lord Marcus Heads 21, 27, 28, 29, and 30 are missing from the presupported list. They are in the unsupported list.
So a while back I was working on ideas for a High Seas 28mm game with various races who fought battles on boats (like boarding actions). My thought for the elves was essentially Barbary Pirates mad...
For those that would have liked Sikh and Hindu heads, there is a problem that they did wear different style uniforms (tunics rather than jackets). Best done as their own kit, since you need differe...
@Mark Dewis I totally agree that's why I mentioned it would be more practical for the beginning half of the century. Although, I still stand by the parade idea because I think that would be cool bu...
@Alessio De Carolis yeah. It was just an idle thought. I'm pretty sure no tropical kit was issued for European use. You might get an eccentric officer - the Brits were nororious for that - or MAYBE...
@jon gawne Thanks for sharing your observations. Do you have any pictures of the event? That sounds awesome!
@JTam Wargaming the First World War is a niche as we both know. We don't really have any numbers on the overlap between Western Front and other fronts so we can only speculate but I can't imagine i...
"Age of Conquests" takes in the Crimean War and American Civil War, where massed ranks of musketry were still in use. There's certainly a post-Napoleonic niche for simple posed figures to bulk out ...
I think the army builder kits that Wargames Atlantic does for the Napoleonic period would work pretty well for the earlier part of this century. I think they could even release some miniatures in t...
@Alessio De Carolis oh, the old Wargames Factory Amazons are horrible. It's not even "proportions" - the poses are stiff and the armour manages to somehow miss both historical and fantasy use. I ha...
Tunics and hose are solidly medieval. Hemline is more kneelength for men; hose are individual and attached by ties to the underwear for males and with knee garters for ladies. Not much changes betw...
A few slightly later 1500's renissance peasents:
Looking at the German Peasants war/War of the snails (1520s) - a few seem to be in the 'medieval' tunics, but more seem to be in shorter tunics with hose
@Jay H. Fair!According to a commentator on facebook, the long tunics are 13th-15th C... So maybe tail end of early renissance?
@Xander Warren I have one, which is the only reason I know what they are lol I have no idea why these are marketed as "Renaissance" though, as you had inquired. Seems pretty "generic medieval" to...
@Jay H. I have several for the yard, and yes I assume it's a "tool" rather than a weapon
Apparently that "billhook" is called a bush axe, and is used to clear brush and such much the same way a machete is. ...I assume that's why a peasant is carrying one? Wow, learned...
seems good for light infantry figures or empire hunters
Very interesting! Are there any references for the costume, that make the figures notably 'renissance' rather than 'genericly medieval'?
@Alessio De Carolis It'd be awesome! Plus folks were asking for Renissance peasents, which they could also kinda work for
@Caratacus all new sculpted by Rob Macfarlane who also did Goths, Romans, Einherjar, Irish, Aztecs, Conquistadors, SAS, German Sentries and I think I'm missing some! And yes "Civilians" does...
Some new Last of the Mohican movie inspired minis on the way from North Star. https://www.beastsofwar.com/news/north-star-new-muskets-tomahawks-american-revolution-minis/
@Hudson Adams I like these actually, I didn't think of citizen levies as a possible interpretation of the Civilians theme. A very important (if not glamorous) component of not only Tudor armies for...
These aren't complete yet but give you an idea of what's coming:
A few have opened up if you want to lock in at the Founder's discount rate: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/WargamesAtlantic
Anvil Industry makes various heads' sets, they generally are heroic scale ,so don't think should be difficult find the right heads' type for these guys.
@Xander Warren These could be used for various scenarios, from renaissance to fantasy, plus imagine how well they'll merge with the WGA conquistadors or the other Frostgrave sets.
@Mark Dewis I don't think that pit helmets were given to troops in summer 1915, for the same reason that the "pike" was removed by the germans from their helms, they were higher than a service cap,...
@Mark Dewis For the height you're right, I was only speaking about a bit of realism in proportions, it's perfectly logical that a warrior race would feed their proles with the best of the best(spar...
@Caratacus FOr me, I think this is the place where they probably belong, as while I would love, love, love to see some good civilian choices in hard plastic.. I'm just not sure the market is there ...
@JTam @William RedfordWell done guys on the"BF" sales, lots of raving about how good they are this year. Stange I`m not being sinicle but "Personally I`m not seeing it" I know my suprise is somethi...
Civilians? Really? Like with the Landsknecht Ogre poll people seem to go for the weirdest choices on here. But then this is for 3D-printed stuff so if there had to be some, then better that they're...
