@Bill Holley actually the beauty of our kits is that we're not forcing you to do mono-pose figures. ALL arms will work with ALL torsos. Arm pairs are marked with R5/L5 on the frames. Heads fit on a...

First time caller, long time lurker. Straight up I've been lucky to find game makers, miniature makers and content creators that understand that the hobby is about being loose with rules and the p...
After watching Peachy's YouTube painting tutorial on these little guys, I decided to give it a go: More thoughts here (as well as a link to the painting tutorials): https://lecoqfou.blogspot.c...
@General_Mycroft thank you for the kind comments. If I recall, the other Orc characters were slightly bigger the wargs (or whatever they are called) are slightly smaller. I can post comparison pict...
@Brian Van De Walker A) Those robots look like exactly the sort of thing I'd imagine for that sort of kit in a way Wargames Atlantic should take notes of and B) I don't get what's so wrong abo...
if was to buy bolt action tanks for this, i'd probably use their Char B1's. always loved how that one looked. the resin marcher one is about the same price though, and comes with scifi bits already...
These guys look awesome! I had some great luck with buying an m3 grant platoon from Warlord. Cheap, cool design, easily kitbashed. Would probably fit the vibe quite well.
Oh for sure, quite a few of my kitbashing needs would be helped tremendously by a more fleshed out renaissance line. However, maybe this is just the type of setting I like more, but I've always lov...
the only WGA bits are the heads, but they did work out fairly well. they would have worked even better if i'd been able to remove all of the old super glue from attaching the previous heads (which ...
Oh, some of those bits look familiar, now I know where I got them from! I don't have more than a handful of them, and not everything looks familiar, so I don't think I ever had a full box - I...
Hopefully they will include instructions on/in the retail boxes, but until instructions are available at least digitally, that will leave those who just got the sprues via the crowdfund project out...
I think much - if not nearly all - traditional fantasy at least implies a dark age with a post-Atlantean,"post-apocalyptic" backstory, where some of your best weapons and armor are wondrous artifac...
WGA needs to get serious about providing some basic INSTRUCTIONS for their sets. A month ago, Max McD replied to another req for instructions, saying he was working on that... if they've been...
Guess these guys are retroactively WGA related. Salvage work on old Proxy imperial guard project from two decades ago. Wargames factory greatcoats, with WGA grognard heads (replacing some old metal...
I don't really think you can expect WA to be historically correct. WA's track record for historical accurancy is pretty patchy. WA's Late Romans are meant to be 284-476AD but many of the helmets on...
@Streetgang These are Amazing!! I am inspired! How did the other Copplestone characters, such as the Orc captains or fell beast compare up?
@Mithril2098 yeah, I've never been too fond of "anime" armor and its many impracticalities. it's funny though, I never drew that connection! I think one of the issues is also that fantasy kn...
@timbus the thirteenth i'm not surprised the barons war kits eend up looking archaic compared to plate armored figures. the barons war game is centered around the 13th century, which is a good 200 ...
Wow, the Mauler is THICK boy. Curious if I can make one longer with some neat mid-section 🤔
I've done quite a bit of toying around with the italian wars knight kits, and it's definitely the best you can get for a fantasy knight. The only issue is they're so tiny! Most of the time I'm tryi...
Wow! So it's not just the exact design I wanted, it's also the exact right size! It's kinda insane how perfect the timing is on these kits. Thanks for the pictures.
@Mithril2098 so its a "not-rhino" without looking like a "not-rhino", thats great. I am using it for non-40k purposes.
@timbus the thirteenth well, I don't know what to say since I actually can and have made near-future/cyberpunk like models out of ww2 kits (WA ones at that), though I admit it isn't easy and ...
Really looking forward to mine and getting a chance to experiment with them (but sadly no shipping yet in the UK/RoW regain)
@timbus the thirteenth as for the mauler.. https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1980/812570.page apparently it's about the size of the Genstealer cult goliath truck/rockcrusher...
the problem is that I am an absolute nutjob for medieval and medieval-fantasy armor. so to me, it's obvious that historicals don't work! but I don't think it matters much to someone who isn't...
Once I'm done with my current set of projects, I might need to pull the trigger on that army box. damn if they aren't some gorgeous models. Btw, would someone with the kits mind giving me some mea...
@Yronimos Whateley I set cavalry as my deafult extra sprue (I got extra sprues of everything damned related but I had 8 or 10 cavalry sprues that I was planing on converting to bikers, which I may ...
@Yronimos Whateley well, Late Roman, Viking era, medieval and Reni sets often are great for fantasy gamers since the basic default fantasy setting most wargamers think of is Europe from that year 4...
@danydag Its not a discussion it was a contest that WA has not finished the first round of voting for yet (look over the main webpage news articles in the top left corner), they have not posted up ...
i'm glad the Mauler went for a more generic scifi style, instead of the heavily worn look of the rest fo the army. it'll make it a lot more popular since it can be used with all sorts of scifi sett...
I hope we didn't break the Sprue Games by over-criticizing them - I was a bit critical of the submissions in some categories in general (without calling any submission in particular out), but I was...
Not to distract too mucy from a full-on fantasy knight set (a "death knight" set might be the best option there), but for most fantasy knight purposes, the Baron's War knights seem like a fine star...
I haven't seen too many topics on The Damned, and no reviews here yet, so I thought I'd open a topic up for these sets, since my crowdfund reward sets just arrived. Short version: most of th...
@Brian Van De Walker they're actually industrial grade, usually used for stuff like spray painting, spray insulation, etc., and in the recent decade have been used heavily by protestors around the ...
I don’t want to advertise for other miniatures manufacturers on the WA forum, but there’s a few modern/near future/sci-fi (both in metal and plastic) figures that could take advantage o...
Just realized that even if my sprue game gambit fails, those new egyptians are looking awfully shirtless.....
@Brian Van De Walker Sorry I missed that. Do you have a link to the discussion?
Yknow, I swear they showed up in vox populi at some point. but now that that's mysteriously vanished, I'm not really sure where they've ended up! If you're desperate I imagine it wouldn't be too ha...
Fair enough, I'm thinking of the perry agincourt miniatures where the neck is attached to the head. I seem to remember 28mm agincourt guys popping up in the sprue game, which wouldn't be my top opt...
this might require more effort than it's worth, but I wonder if, with the new standard proportions system, it could be possible to make it truly generic? like you have one sprue of "near future upg...
@Mithril2098 That sounds like something that should be in a proper set, like first responders or terrorists.
@timbus the thirteenth I get what your saying, but given my experience with tiny plastic knights, the simple way to do that on the manufacturing end with historical knight heads is to sculpt the ch...
@Brian Van De Walker Indeed. @Mark Dewis I literally gave weta workshop design as an example, spare me your snide commentary.
@danydag its been talked about already and why don't we wait to see how the sprue game plays out shall we?
addendum.. for unhelmeted gasmask heads, they should include some 'respirator only' versions. where they are wearing those half mask ones that just go over the mouth and nose, rather than the full ...
You point out to some interesting stuff here. Don’t just think of things that could be added to the figures but on bases or used with other scenery. They could be used as objectives markers i...
I could certainly get behind such a thing. I wouldn't have thought of cans and bottles per se, but the bottles would also make nice molotovs, for example! I've never seen any bits for electric to...
Hello, Would WA be interested in producing a plastic set for present days near future/Sci-Fi accessories? It could contain backpacks, pouches, holsters, cans and beer bottles, small barrels, lapt...
Fair enough, the only thing would point out is that most houndskull bascinets tend to come with integrated neck chainmail if we were to be historically accurate. It's an iconic helmet in the fantas...
