Oh... i accidentily cut the Grognard Raptor cavalry... But I want them too. But will likely try to put conquistadors or Aztecs on them.
German Sentries World Ablaze I want the german shephards Secret Set Shhhh 2 can keep a secret if one of them is dead. Warring States Infantry First Empires I like the idea I h...
Should be streaming today. Someone without small children watch it and tell me if it's good ;)
The Galil is a neat weapon, but it might fit in better with the "modern" set. As mentioned, used in South Africa, Israel (obviously), and strangely pervasive in Central and South Ameri...
Sneak Peak for 28 OCT 22: Left is a strange mix of archaic and modern... Deathfields set? Right - Vivandieres? Female French Resistance? Certainly not smuggling documents...ju...
If I well remember the S. African army adopted the Galil, Rhodesia's army had the FN Fal, I read that the former wasn't very popular with ex- rhodesians soldiers because they reputed it too light a...
Interesting piece, it seems the same UFO from an old TV serial, "The Invaders".
I'd opt for any of the Asiatic/Turkic themed elves, or maybe Bronze Age. But lamellar or other 'exotic' asiatic style armours would lok rather good.
@Davy Jones With an introduction date of 1972, I believe for the Galil, it might be a bit late but yes it is a weapon commonly associated with conflicts in Africa and it does look cool.
Hydra Miniatures also do some cool Pulp retro sci-fi “Greys”... but in metal. They lack the versatility of a multi-pose plastic kit. https://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=2_...
The sampler idea has merit. 6 male and 6 female CF at, say 60% cost of a 24 figure box?
How about the plastic bag with stapled header that some companies use, rather than a dedicated new box? They could even make the option only available as an online order via their website to keep c...
doing a third box might be tricky sales wise, since it takes sales away from the two dedicated boxes. (and i suspect the male only box will be the most popular anyway, given the general mindset of ...
Thank you everyone I really appreciate it a lot 😉
@Alessio De Carolis jumpsuits are mostly modern or science fiction, where gender differences are less important. Naturally this would not replace the existing two kits. But is more for when you nee...
Awesome saucer! Very Project Blue Book. I'll keep it in mind if plastic plates and random packaging plastic doesn't cut it.
For opponents, I have two boxes of Warlord Games blitzkrieg Germans to paint. They're nicely sculpted, but somewhat smaller in size and limited with poses. Having just received a box of WA's ...
@William Redford I know it's tough to get friends into a new game. Many times, it helps if you already have two or more armies ready to play for them to use. Luckily the plastic kit put out by War...
The biggest problem was that Dark Elf Swordsmen were about useless. Really? In 6th and 7th edition it is the other way around. These guys are supposed to not die, so the additional point of armo...
@Mark Dewis The late Roman armies would have been a grab bag of absolutely everything and everyone in the Empire, and the the three tired system in use you've have troop pools of local garrisons, m...
@James Cutts I too am HUGELY looking forward to the thureophoroi- just as much as the late legionaries actually. I'm hoping that early 2023 both of them might get released - the few previews for bo...
This weapon might be a bit too late in the centurt for this kit, but i always saw the Galil or Vektor R4 as a weapon used by the mercenaries in africa. It seemed to be IMI's attempt to create a 5....
I have played it a lot, and completely agree with James Cutts. It is a good system and anything that will bring more interest and attention to Ancients is a good thing.
@Mark Dewis good thinking.
It`s the top half of our chicken feeder, with no chicks now, I`ve kept it to use as a Saucer,13 1/2" Dia and inner 4 1/2 " Dia made of hard impact poly plastic very usable Cost about £8 - 75 ...
A mixed box of either male & female sprues would be welcome, also because you don't need so much female figures (or males' ones, if you're planning an amazon brigade!). Naturally it could be a ...
@Mark Dewis I have just the saucer for you, and not to pricey, with your talent it`s a no Brainer, I`ll take a photo. By the way i think these are brilliant your cannon fodder delights never cease ...
@Mark Dewis Well when I thought of Magnus it had 5 of our requested items at least, so I decided why not, 1. Robots, 2. Apes (Gorillas), 3. Civilians, 4. Cultists, 5. Mixed rescue groups with...
@James Cutts Thank You!
@Geoff Maybury Well, Magnus was not so much ahead of his time as one of the last gasps of the old Burroughsian style of unbeatable hero. He fits in perfectly with Tarzan, John Carter, Flash Gordon ...
@Alessio De Carolis UFO aliens with hair? How unevolved! They already lack the masculine second set of eyes and have pleasingly feminine cleft craniums... 😉
The existing edition is a pretty solid set of "ancients" rules in the usual Priestley warmaster style. Not the most indepth but easy, reasonably quick and fun to play. The cover a huge period too, ...
They have a Stuka Zu Fuss version.... And a 8 Rad! Also a MK IV chassis...
Well that didn't take long: Found on AliExpress....
Wow, your right, those ARE separate torsos and arms for the Sisters of Averlorn. That makes it even more WTF how bad they are. Right about the same time GW released this High Elf...
@Brian Van De Walker I have not seen those before but they do look the part and are a good price. If I did not have a load of Mantic Mars Attacks Martians I might grab some of those, even thou...
Beautiful, I'm waiting to see them painted, can I suggest to add a "ponytail" with GS to the females figures, to distinguish them more from their male counterpart?
Well done, a lot of french troops were from the colonies, also before 1940's disaster, after the bloodbath of WWI France was very short on manpower. These figures are well detailed, expecially in t...
@Grumpy Gnome Hi pal film noted will be pleased to take a look not tonight thought Eileens Birthday we are going for a meal so Love to all I`m off to do the jobs. Cheers Gang.
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy You are very wellcome "our Kid" (black country for a brother not of family) once again great to have you on the forum.
@Estoc So mate whats your`e favorite "Robot"
@Mark Dewis Nice one Mark so the rights could be an issue might be still worth a post of some mech pics showing how the many varied designs come from standard head, upper torso, hands and feet. Nev...
@William Redford Hi Bill , I think i`m right, in 1 the neck blow is an open hand, 2 he thinks is a human or Cyborg, so he can`t use his full strenght,hence fists, 5 the death blow to the neck...
Cannon Fodder bodies, Stargrave heads and arms. These get silver jumpsuits and green skin 😉
@Grumpy Gnome I know this isn't multipart, but have this little green fellows come across your radar? Seem like they would work great for retro and generic SF, I am thinking of getting some.
This set would work nicely for the Siege of Jadotsville. A decent film based on a real incident which is an all too forgotten part of history. It really caused me to rethink my view of the UN and t...
The kneeling figure with the VB mortar is is also Crusader.
