@crispin vasquez do you receive any error message? Have you tried opening with lychee slicer or chitubox?

@William Ings you call that a skink?! THIS is a skink! These kobolds look like they traded their traps for whey protein powder and never looked back. Though, maybe if we just printed them with ...
@JTam that's with Cannon Fodder arms (male) as that's what I had.
Mercenaries and Militia + the bits from the expansion (below) for me - no need for not-las guns; or put them out as an addon sprue a bit like the cannon-fodder gun sprue....
@Geoff Maybury Warlord's had some really nice Black Friday through Cyber Monday deals this year. Stock levels ARE strange this year. The grocery store shelves are looking ...
@Geoff Maybury This is a newish book: I don't have it, but it looks like it might be idea for your needs.
@William Redford Hi`ya Bill , nice to catch you, good to see you are still enjoying the girls. J-Tam sent for some goodies from Warlord Games. a Black Friday deal next thing theres some whooo`s and...
@Mark Dewis Spliff or Cuban rolled on the thiewwes of maidens etc,
The Coven Sisters look incredibly good. But the GW ones are sublime. There was decades were plastic Sisters would have crushed it in the market. But that window is perhaps closed....
Well the Catanyans of course ;) Actually that would be fun. But more seriously, the Mercenaries and Militia: Make this in plastic and print money. Sure, throw in some laser rifles so t...
I think member @Lord Marcus sells these: A nice example of what more "fantasy" Amazons could look like.
Out for the fighting season. In for the harvest. Wasn't that the cycle for a good long bit of human history?
Thanks@JTam . I have added a few more useful links above. If anyone has anything they think should be linked, please let me know.
@Charles Tottington Until two days ago I didn't knew about this terrible movie, but I knew about Dahomey's amazons ferocity and cruelty, plus they were the slavers in that region, but logically fro...
@Alessio De Carolis I am not an expert on African warfare but the wiki would suggest it was French successes with bayonet armed melee fighting that decided the battles... not “mode...
@JTam yes. Both kits are very nice and mix well with each other. The barbarians have very nice posing and the weapons are great. Punch daggers for right and left hands are awesome. There are a...
Good paintjob...
Coven Sisters sounds as a good idea for me... but with additional more femalelike heads...long hair, hair brais? and so on...
issue with unsupported parts of the grognard sergent. unable to open with microsoft 3d builder
Again not sure if plastic or resin. But pretty awesome:
@William Redford @Mark Dewis Did you get the Stargrave or Frostgrave female mercenaries or barbarians in hand yet? Thoughts?
Still waiting waiting.....probably wont come till the new year by the looks of it. Haven't left the US yet so add a month for shipping, another month for Oz Post and these should arrive aroun...
Personally, I'm interested in Coven Sisters and Gene Tyrants making the grand leap to plastic models. The Coven can be another plastic alternative to sisters like Shield Wolf or the Panzerjager. Wh...
@Brian Van De Walker somehow a lot of us forgot that. One set of each sprue would give 11 figures; a 50/50 box isn't actually possible - you'd need to either have two or three sets of sprues for th...
It's easy to get a six pack by casting it in bronze. Middle aged Roman generals knew that trick too 😉 Back breaking labour aside, the average farmer doesn't map to warrior class. Almost always, ou...
@Alessio De Carolis Yeah Dahomey would actually make great villains. Especially the evil amazon elite. I mean, they kind of remind me of the Warhammer Dark Elves since they were slavers who held li...
@JTam Oh these would be perfect for a sci-fi team of amazons in death fields.
That one smoking appears to be drawing on a MASSIVE spliff. Not casting any shade - very historically accurate - but if they intended it to be a Lucky Strike they really screwed up the scaling...
Just be aware the Mordheim stuff is a bit chunky; GW were going through a patch of plastics being a bit larger than intended at the time (also seen in the 6th edition box Empire troops). Since late...
Mark does well to clarify. Magellan was surely a great sailor, but his "second" managed to complete the voyage, from the Philippines to Spain, with a reduced crew, in more than difficult conditions...

@Mark Dewis 1. The unknown is always more terrifying than the known. What courage is needed to sail into the blue unknown where it is impossible to know if you will find land aga...

@Caratacus Reference bulky and or "ripped" minis. I think there is a happy middle ground. Just as female models should be recognizable female from tabletop distance, the males should ...
@H M Reference: I did not know that. Fascinating. Thank You.
@Mark Dewis I usually find a bit of surgery/scraping is required on the head that the separate hat is INTENDED for to make it fit right. But you are absolutely right. Eas...
@Mark Dewis The most important thing (at least for me) should be realistic proportions, female bodies are normally shorter than male ones, so these hypotethical minis should be a little smaller tha...
(All that said, there is a very clear trend of Byzantine and Islamic armories influencing each other, and both being influenced by Turkic tribes in the era of weaponry, though again the weapons the...
@Brian Van De Walker It doesnt help that you keep shooting yourself in the foot with arguments that seem to pull everything eastward; like with armor design you state that Byzantine armor becomes i...
@Grumpy Gnome Thanks for the link, nice snipets. with that one cheaky note "landfill" what a plonker. So many go the ERDL, route, it looks promissing.
@Geoff Maybury Actually I think it would work better if they triedputting scales on the dog head and maybe added some horns (1 to 3). After all gnolls, werewolfs, etc. are proper canine men e...
@Caratacus I am actually okay with the " Ripped Hollywood Stuntman" look for history and fantasy as long as it isn't going to the absurd "2000 A.D./TMNT comicbook" look like the SciFi heroic ...
@William Ings Maybe, but Byzantines are a cop out since their own armor is clearly more influenced by their Eastern and middle Eastern neighbors at the points your showing then anyone in europe exc...
@Mithril2098 Actually its 30 figures for the male set, 24 for the female set. Both sets cost $32 to $35 normally.
@JTam They are supposed to be, and to be honest a lower "zeroish" amount of hellenist elements and even greater focus on the steppe nomad aspect would make me happy. Same deal if we are...

I know it's not the intended topic, but I would be very down for some Dahomey Amazons 😁
