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...

Sprue layout is a challenging balance act. Getting just the right amount of different parts to satisfy the biggest number of customers must be quite a headache.  One of Wargames Atlantics&rsq...

@JTam yeah, but I do not know WHY you were talking about Africa. I certainly did not bring it up and the pictures I posted were not from there (although the East African campaign is in itself a goo...

@Alessio De Carolis the height thing is a bit of a straw man argument. Yes, the average woman is shorter than the average man, but only within a given population.  The average female height in...

@JTam the Cannon Fodder conversion is really exciting. Fodder are the most versatile range WGA make, IMO. Having conversion kits ready made makes them an even better value to me. This is what I wan...

@Mark Dewis  I was talking about Africa. Which is a niche of a niche of a niche. Gallipoli and surrounds is a niche of a niche. But back to the original question.  What do you think t...

So civilians won. This is the preview: @Red Bee  Bottom, middle row?  I think it's angry monks.  There was a monk looking robe teased two weeks ago I believe.   Looks...

@William Redford  She should be available soon.  This posted 27 NOV: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/11/27/sunday-preview-warhammer-40000-battleforces-and-necromunda-goons-and-...

@JTam Palestine is not Africa (although there were battles defending the Suez canal in 1915-16), and it was hardly a fringe campaign. It was the primary theatre in which Turkey participated.  ...

@JTam Do you know when that Escher special character is supposed to be released? I cant find her at Forgeworld or Games Workshop.    I did get the plastic Jain Zarr kit on the Saturday ...

no, while i have been in the lower, restructed klevels of douamont, it was a WW1 "underground fort" wargame. (with zombis!) . altough I have also done more than my fair share of WW1 reenatments in ...

I'll admit the botched backdraps do iritate me. I mean, it's just plain wrong, an it bugs me when I see it. I'm also confusaed why there are no E tool carrers.  Those need to be on the ASAP li...

@Mark Dewis honestly, these heads just feel super "generic draconic" to me. I don't hate them by any means. D&D5e has their slim snouts, Pathfinder has their broad snouts, everyone else has som...

@Desmond Woolston Kobolds update has been confirmed. supported and unsupported zips are now available. Re: alien heads: It looks like supported files are present. Could you please clarify?

@Desmond Woolston updated on kobolds as of 2 minutes ago.  We apologize for the mix up. The team is checking the alien heads now

@JTam in many times and places. But most typically in premodern times it was supervising slaves, serfs and proles during the harvest rather than doing the actual plowing. That is NOT to say they we...
