@Grumpy Gnome Warlord actually supply metal sprues of Monmouth caps to add to any human models that aren't already wearing a headdress:

@Alessio De Carolis For the Death Fields sets MAYBE sci-fi crests and antennas to glue on the historical heads is the way to go. Certainly would have made more sense for the D...
@Caratacus Suitably well dressed and the ancient world are SEMI-incompatible. People showed a lot of skin. All the time. Why are you in combat naked? It's disturbing....
@Vitor Soares I think the RGD Amazons are Scythians (or are supposed to be).
I would prefer either fantasy Amazons, or Scythians.
US Army supply services can be less uniform than some folks might suspect. In Berlin 88-91 some of my platoon had the latest woodland camo kevla flak jackets but some, like me had the older, softer...
The "Fritz" helmet started to enter in service in early '80s, but f.e. in Lebanon marines had yet the old M1, probabilly it was widespread for the mid '80s.
@JTam great image, realistic armour, no fanservice, it has a retro-sci-fi feeling.
Bear in mind I am not quite old enough to have served in ’Nam.... The minis should work fine if you paint them in Woodland camo for up to mid-80’s in my opinion, for regular Army/Marin...
The wool Monmouth cap on the Warlord ECW sprue makes a fine modern day wool watch cap.
Guys the Rubicon figures that I`m using for "Nam", how versitile could they be as "Marines in Europe. How long could I stretch the time period of these with just painting schemes. I realized as I w...
@William Ings Good find - this is another Ancients faction that could do with some attention. I would have thought it would be possible to convert most Illyrian infantry types from kitbashin...
@JTam Bronze Age Terminator... that would be a fun game idea in itself. You thought it was difficult enough to beat him in 1984 with motorised vehicles, firearms and automated factory equipm...
@Mark Dewis That is indeed a cracking idea you have there - I was looking up the Perry AWI sprues only a few days ago as a possible idea for another project and noticed that, like Warlord's ECW spr...
Because the RGD set now exists I'd rather WGA focus on other things, but as the RGD ones are not the pinnacle of sculpting greatness, if they really wanted to make an Amazons set I'd rather they ti...
It looks like I've been found out but yes, Strike Witches was indeed, a major contributing factor but the real story is so much longer about how this became to be.But in the mean time, here are the...
@Steffen Seitter What was lost? Mastery of small machinery and computers similar to this: That allowed them to create self aware automated helpers like this: Unfortunately these mac...
@JTam that I do! I'll look that up. David M. Glantz's book is the main work on it; as long as this isn't too derivative of that it should be good. Seems to mostly be told from the German viewpoint,...
Googled "Space Amazons" to see what a Deathfields Amazon team might look like. This was the best result:
@Red Bee A touch of this then?
@Mark Dewis I think @Caratacus is the true zombie/skeleton pirate fan. But that's a fine idea. Labor and cost intensive for an army. But maybe for a regiment or a Mordheim...
Yeah, not sure how small Lizardmen is more verboten than human sized Lizardmen.
@JTam Just had a thought. The Perry AWI kits have that seperate hat thing they do on their older kits. There's some tricorns in those sprues I think - potentially they could be slapped on skeletons...
Slowly getting there, some more touch ups before weathering, but here you go:
Yep. Only the arms/weapons are Stargrave (Mercenaries kit, IIRC). Everything else is Bulldogs except the left arm on the leader, which is from Cannon Fodder.
@Selrahc Usually the GW products worth looking at are the skirmish ones, especially the starter sets. Subracting the cost of the rulebook (which is one area GW are generally the same price as every...
@Brian Van De Walker that is actually why i say the closer you can get to $15 the better. resellers always mark up their sprues, and if you want the product to be more attractive than just buying f...
Yes, the Historicans moves away from the Fall of the Roman Empire more to a transition period. The true Dark Age of Human History is the Bronze Age Colapse - we actual know NOTHING about which kno...
There are two trading marks of the Illyrians; The sica and the lack of belts. Most Equipment was Greek/Hellenistic as the largest influence on the Illyrians. Mixing in Norricum and Pannonian Celts...
I really like the RGD set (probably going to be my next set of theirs that I pick up), but, when I think Amazon I think Wonder Woman and crew with a more Greek Hoplite feel. As an added bonus it wo...
@Estoc this is a skink Good luck to any lawyer defending a tradmark based on short anthromorphic lizards.
I really like the more cartoonish proportions, and having the dog heads on the reptile bodies. It fits a lot of the older descriptions of Kobolds in D&D, while still being true to modern stuff....
@William Redford Same here mate. It is also the way I feel when I browse the Printable Scenery website... and I did not have much luck with the 3d print services Printable Scenery recommended....
There hasnt yet been anyway for me (as a non-3d printer owner) to get anything so I have kind of lost interest. This of course will change if and when prints are available for purchase. But right n...
both skinks and dnd's lizard kobolds have active copyrights as far as I can tell, using either of them might cause a lawsuit.
@Charles Tottington You're absolutely right that the dog head grafted on a completely reptilian body builder body looks like an afterthought. A cool idea perhaps to attempt to make eve...
@Mark Dewis Don't you have a particular interest in this fight? Brand new:
I've been listening to https://youtu.be/2QBA6ZPmj3Q while doing so.e chores today. I knew he had some connections, but it seems Pyrrhus was sheltered in Illyria as a child. I've been preparing som...
@Berggeit All the volumes I have are very well done. Here and there the translation to English isn't perfect but nothing inhibits understanding. Please post a review of the Jap...
That's so true, Anaia ! Mines and... sometimes mass graves. I forgot to specify the original use of the "sica" in mountain populations : a magnificent sheperd's and hunter's tool for cutting up an...
@JTam I sure will but certainly wait until the models are up for pre-order.
@JTam I did consider getting the Feudal Japan one from Painting War a while ago. So good to know they are good books.
@Geoff Maybury Which one is one of your favorite rules?
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Well, and the landmines.
@H M Lucid Eye really hit it out of the park with the Sea People.
@JTam They have been there for a long, long time though :(
@JTam Those Sea Peoples are exceptional, but they sure could use some Sherden allies... (wink wink, nudge nudge WGA ;)
