Female Soviets in Space! for Death Fields. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44330/comparison-shot-and-sneak-peek-all-in-one?page=2
One thing that I like about the stargrave/frostgrave kits is how they have female variants of some stuff but they don't force excessive female traits into the bodies/armour. For example, the Starg...
Looks good. However she seems very capable of defending herself as "Cannon Fodder" 😄 Best regards, Andreas
Boob armour has its place. And that place is basically alongside six-pack armour with moulded pecs and nipples. 😁
@Battle Specter BEM = Bug Eyed Monster. Old term for the sort of alien critter you find in 50's science fiction B movies @Grumpy Gnome Animal heads are dual purpose for Fantasy too. ...
@Mark Dewis Not a bad suggestion for kit bashing Soviet Naval Infantry but I still think a full plastic set would sell well.
Right now I am rather preoccupied with Quar... so I would love to see the Quar range grow beyond what has already been shown. Particularly civilian models, sailors and aviators. And female Quar as ...
Child soldiers, because the extreme deseperation and fighting to survive instead of win makes for an interesting, if horrifying, force on the tabletop and would be good for conversions into less ho...

The Naval Brigade hats aren't terribly different to the Prussian Reserve caps with the brim removed. If you stuck those on 28mm plastic Russian infantry and added some neckcloths with putty you cou...
Plastic Trojan War Infantry kits to compliment the announced "Trojan Chariot" kit. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/59614/the-trojan-war-iliad-odyssey
Another of the Cannon Fodder II minis I did, I actually did this one before the one I entered into the contest but as it was almost exactly like one on the box art I didn't want to use it for my en...
@De Bairead just got to say great job on that Irish warrior cape
@Geoff Maybury where did you put it on facebook?
@Paul Cziganj Didn't you mention come converting a plastic female gun slinger to a Soviet Soldier previously? Please post pics if you get a chance, would love to see how that turned ou...
@Joseph Wright Warlord Games sells the old Wargames Factory Orcs in plastic... Which have a semi-similar look it you need to scratch that itch now.
@Mark Dewis Generally, when I think of fantasy, I think of the stuff that hits more at an eye candy level than Scifi. The two can mix, obviously, but I don't see boob armor being a thing. Generally...
@Paul Mitting I agree on the better tech Alien options. GW's lines are kinda played out. Like I mentioned, everything is humanoid or Bug. I'd like something different. Some stuff I've seen other co...
All power armour is fantasy. Try not to forget that. As far as the pseudo medieval stuff goes, also a little hard to reality check, though at least you can touch base with the re-enactment communi...
I have a need for big Felinoid and smaller Canid aliens for Traveller. I suspect Spacenam with headswaps will fit the bill for the former. Some digitigrade legs in the right size would help (althou...
I have to agree that the figures being crafted by WGA look awesome, but actually gettting my grubby mitts on them has been problematic. Only Games have definitely dropped the ball and I can only ho...
I'm always up for a decent Alien kit in hard plastic. The current Harvesters look great but I would like something more "high tech" as opponents for my humans. A big passion of mine has always been...
@JTam I would 100% buy multiples this set and replace my current GW Lord of the Rings orcs if it was in plastic. 100%.
General question, and probably posted already, but what are some things people would like to see in the miniatures community? The gaming community? What models get your goat, and youjust have to le...
@Mark Dewis I've noticed it too, but they're still out there. I'm not entirely opposed to it, I just find as I get older and (hopefully) wiser, I find realism trumps fantasy. But everynowanthen- I ...
I imagine you could put a hole in the hand using Blender, then just print it. Some sets have seperate polearms and/or hands that are already open. Match the haft diameter and you can go with any op...

That's definitely one of my favorite things to do with multi-part plastics! South Tellarian Liberation Front regulars in the new uniform (mostly Warlord stuff, with some Great Escape Games) S...
@JTam That would be a grand idea ! The cavalry kit itself could perfectly cover the 1905 to 1945 period (Russo-Japanese War, WW1, Russian Civil War, WW2) with the right choice of heads. Short Mosi...

Made a major ommision. Chinese cavalry. The Nationalists started the fighting with 9 Cavalry Divisions. Unsure how many the Communists / other factions would raise. Regardless ...
One reason I think the two "Secret Sets" might not be Female French Resistance: The previous "Secret" sets were actually pretty secret. There was one peak of a backpack prior to the J...
@Caratacus Horse cavalry being over in WW2. Well yes and no. Paralleling WW1, Cavalry saw some use in the early war in the West and remained active in the East the entiret...
@Grumpy Gnome Cool link and project. I personally wouldn't have named it the "Angry Dragon". (Find it on Urban Dictionary if you're bored).
The hole in hand and wire weapons seems like a really good solution for the most vulnerable of weapons - spears, pikes, and similar. As noted there is no ideal solution for other weapons. ...
@Alessio De Carolis Is that (Ladies of Mandrigyn) a decent read? I popped over to the Wiki: White Dwarf reviewing external publications. Different times. I think the "...
Naturally, if printed in the right scale , they could pass for Landmates, the mechs seen on Appleseed manga and anime, where the pilots sits in them and use the arms with a servo mechanism, at leas...
On "The Ladies of Mandrigyn" by B. Hambly, the protagonist, a mercenary captain, had to train a bunch of females (long history...), and he found that an halbard is very useful for a female fighter,...
@Steffen Seitter The Hittites were a real "super power" btw the 15th and 13th century B.C., it's very probable that Troy, if not an outright vassal of them, was an ally, so their weapons and tactic...
The problem could be solved by using the arms from Cannon Fodder's sprue, plus a bit of GS, effectively the body armour seems a little bulky, but then I saw on Andor those wear by CorpSecs, a...
@Grumpy Gnome I don't read the books, but from the various descriptions they seems more similar to the fanatical zealots that were the teutonic knights, so, if Frostgrave's knights heads are compat...
@Ben Zed In Dune's universe Emperor Leto prohibited personal shields, so allowing the return of modern warfare, also if on Arrakis you couldn't use them, bcz they attired the earthworms. Energy wea...
@Mark Dewis Exactly, either Frostgrave and Stargrave avoided too skimpy outfits, in Stargrave the female have an "Aliens" vibe with pratical outfits/armours. The only feminine armour I recent...
