esinkern stormtroopers,one has ooh-rah arms and gun,heads are from anvil industries

yeah, my knowledge of american colonialization wars mostly starts and ends at "it was bad", so i kinda forgot the average iroquois would be dead or on the wrong side of the continent. with regards ...

@timbus the thirteenth To be honest the number of films I have seen where the Amerindians are "villains" as opposed to "tragically bad communicators who get the short end of the stick" is kind of s...

I received my armies today (in the UK). Wow. Lots of guys to paint. The painted army examples look to only use the rectangular bases, yet there are some small round and losenge shapes bases. What a...

@timbus the thirteenth they are indeed dice frames (from Pendraken). The rules I intend to use are Fantastic Battles by Nic Wright. In his game mechanics, bases have a factor called "resolve" which...

@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, I don't disagree. This is one of those topics that's really weird because most of the conversation around it comes from white people. If it were up to me, I'd avoid the w...

These guys look clean as hell! bit of a dumb question: what are the little square holes in the back right of every base? they look like dice holders. either way, thanks for posting these guys look ...

Using the holiday break and copious amounts of dry brushing and inking, I finished all of the Boneblades, with the exception of the command stands. Nine total bases of sword and shield armed skelli...

@timbus the thirteenth in any case, yeah  a cowboy/gunfighter set should have big knives where ever they are. With argentinian gauchos I would want Bolas the throwing weapon.

@timbus the thirteenth Actually, making more correct native cultures I think maybe a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" issue at worst  to a "either way is good" if we are talking about t...

@Yronimos Whateley If you go a lot further south, to a more esoteric historical area, you'll find argentinian gaucho. Basically an offshoot of cowboys, but with a couple interesting quirks. Namely,...

@Mithril2098 Umm, Bro you just gave a darn good reason to do an Afghan style bulk cowboy/gunfighter set with a mix of rifles and hand guns.  why bother with a seperate "civilian militia/posse"...

In my book, a ~20-24 figure box, like the Survivors (24), Agents (24), and Operators (20) is going to be fine, even for skirmish games:  that's enough figures for two opposing gangs of gunslin...

Id like to ask what the little chain stick looking things are supposed to be

I don't see cowboys selling in large bulk.. mainly because american west centric gaming with cowboys/gunfighters tends towards small skirmish level rules. Large games in the genre/setting tend to ...

@timbus the thirteenth Hmm, I don't know I can see it getting bulk Historical plastic and selling quite well for a couple of diffrent things and it likely wouldn't hurt the "fun bits" to much if yo...

@timbus the thirteenth Hmm, given the number of people that play middle earth and generally use just GW models and that most people who really want Norse Dwarfs already have a pile of metals, magit...

@Stephen Chalkley Apart from Test of Resolve, see above, I plan to use Sword and Spear (great initiative rules, every decision matters) and Midgard (for Heroic Hollywood Henry). Three great sets, ...

@timbus the thirteenth Effective, sure. My personal favorite is probably the descriptions of their ways of war in the MERP rulebook Moria, with the decisive infantry advances and very nice descript...

Hell, I love magitech and I can get behind these dwarves, so long as they get some extra bits. I think in order to make tech work in fantasy, it needs to have a really strong visual identity and ae...

My main issue is that cowboys don't feel like something you'd need to buy in bulk. GEG being focused on bits and details is probably a better idea than having lots of bodies. ~20 models would be ni...

@Brian Van De Walker Again, that is quite simply your personal conception. The myth is not begging it, it is not asking for it, the thought would never even pass for many, possibly most people. Tha...

@jedifalcon222 Only in the white people countries,  I am sure the Koreans on both sides of the north/south boarder still remember them like it was the more important than the  blitz in WW...

@timbus the thirteenth Dang, guess its a general blue state need thing then.😆 @Yronimos Whateley Actually, on rare occasions Russia, China, etc. other user find ignored piles of SKS and sell them ...

I'm not picky, anything historical and specific is OK with me, but I'm also OK with a broad-strokes fantasy any-tribe suitable for "Hollywood" western gaming. I'm sure that wild west gaming takes ...

@Mithril2098 Well First they are too focused on the "western film" options for firearms as they are missing pepperbox pistols, derringers pistols, several types of rifles, etc., they have no coonsk...

@Nathan Ward Lol, "Is it just assumed that they are already casualties?" 😆 Good one. I think they will get around to it at least for STLs.

@Yronimos Whateley the Vikings never dressed remotely like any of those dwarfs, like the closest was the first one and it was more like a crusader era men at arms than a viking and maybe the dated ...

If WGA's other sets are anything to go by, you can start with a better price-per-mini:  a box of GEG's Gunslingers contains only ten figures, while WGA's Survivors and Agents sets, with a simi...

@Piisami Magical craftmen that make things like flying ships and magical boars is a concept that is at least begging hard to be given a magitech treatment if not inspiring it to a degree that deman...

What can WGA do that Great Escape Games' "Dead Man's Hand" plastic sets don't?  

@Hudson Adams Yes please make a box set.

I would like to see 28mm cowboys in plastic. 

I'm MASSIVELY oversimplifying, I know its a lot more complex on both ends. Ultimately it helps me to group up different aesthetics by what I most associate them with. By a "dnd" dwarf I'm secretly ...

@timbus the thirteenth "dnd-style dwarves tend to have that big round cylinder helmet and plate armor...." Really?  Maybe that's a 4th/5th edition thing?  Seems like most of the D&D ...

If you are doing Korean war don't forget the Glorius Glosters as one of the boxes. The british contribution to the korean war is easily forgotten.

These look amazing thank you for the photos

Any plans to do a digital set with Austro-Hungarian and Italian officers? I just downloaded the Austro-Hungarian infantry and then realised that there were no officers or NCOs to lead them! Is it j...

@timbus the thirteenth Close, something like that. Proper Fantasy, to me, is a vaguely dark ageish aesthetic. Some mix of early dnd art, Larry Elmore, that kinda stuff. The most proper version has ...

@timbus the thirteenth Definitely. The puddles vary a little in size. I got some unpainted, unbased orcs and a 25mm round handy and tested, 3-4 sit comfortably, I can cram 9 orcs onto this bad boy ...

@Piisami Okay, so if I'm getting this right, I think the problem boils down to dnd versus lotr. dnd-style dwarves tend to have that big round cylinder helmet and plate armor, while lotr-style dwarv...

Looks pretty neat! I was thinking of picking up some azincourt and some skellies myself so I could play aos on vacation. You think it would be possible to cram a couple onto a 32mm round?

From the left to the right, 10mm base, 12mm base, 15mm base and a monster on a 20mm base for comparison. I definitely think the 12mm base is the correct size for these, 10mm doesn't fit much more t...

@Yronimos Whateley I proposed a "Basic Armored torso body in historcal scale" in the sprue contest for General Accoutrements, which if I have my way would be the "armoured cuirass over buttoned tu...

@Brian Van De Walker No, that's just not true. They are definitely craftsmen, but magical craftsmen. Not technology. Arguing they do magitech is just plain false, not supported by anything, an opin...

@Piisami well you and others may not like it, but no the the last paragaph of my comment is 100% true if you believe Dwarfs came from the old pagan Norse myths and not from late Middle Ages Christi...

Managed to paint up the majority of a sprue of the Boneblades (I didn't paint the command stand yet).  They paint easy and they paint quick. Very pleased with the results and look forward t...

@timbus the thirteenth well, since you asked, I'll ramble. Whfb: this is a weird one. Very much their own thing, the newer sculpts, doubly so with the AoS factions. The warriors are approaching wh...

believe me i get it. im a knight fan so i've gone on several rambly rants about how sallet helmets and azincourt bascinets OBVIOUSLY have different vibes, leading to the average person looking at m...
