@timbus the thirteenth Oh, I could wax on endlessly about the differences between those, definitely not generic 😂. Yeah. That might actually not be a terrible idea at all. There's some stuff on all...

WHY WHY WOULD YOU PUT THE IDEA OF GORILLA BODY IN MY HEAD WHY WOULD YOU TEMPT ME WITH THIS MORE PERFECT WORLD

@Piisami I think the issue here is that from my pov, there's easily five different "generic" ranges: whfb, mantic, fireforge, oathmark, and mesbg. but also, I am not a True Dwarf Enjoyer, and so I ...

@timbus the thirteenth I'm open to that.  Out of the sets for the Damned Deadth Fields faction, some of the more interesting bodies were one-offs on the Command sprue, in the form of a robed p...

I agree with Brian - seems like Wargames Atlantic has checked a LOT of boxes for me with the Pulp Adventure product line's Surivors, Agents, Operators, and Zombies, the Partisans I and II sets, the...

I'm still up for something a bit more Rip Van Winkle than LotR or Warhammer, and I never was a fan of historical theming for fantasy "races" (the demand for "Viking", "Scottish", "Japanese" "Assyri...

Just some ramblings. I've gotten all of my dwarves and some of my orcs painted. There were some single models on the sprues and on a whim I decided to start putting all those on individual bases, n...

@Mithril2098 as timbus there pointed out it might not be a bad idea to do the sprue with a basic, universal, boring to some but popular among dwarf aficionados kind of bodies and equipment as a cor...

i wouldn't mind a few nods to Discworld dwarves if a kit gets done. they're fairly stereotypical on the whole, with their axes, chainmail garments, etc. but you could add some 'deep-downer' heads (...

@Stephen Chalkley there are quite a few options out there: Warmaster Historicals: older favorite with familiar mechanics to things like Black Powder, etc. Uses 40x20mm basing as provided in box se...

@Brian Van De Walker I won't say you're wrong since it's all an opinion, but I will say I disagree with you. Let's start with rehashing the fact that Oathmark are not norse, and neither are th...

I finished the 6 bases of Orc archers (front row behind the command bases) which effectively renders this project complete. The box provided enough figures for me to field: 6 bases of sword and shi...

I've often said that dwarves are somewhat like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. everybody knows what a pb&j is like, they're not hard to make, and you've eaten it a million times. but doesn'...

I'm gonna go against the grain here, and actually say that I think the best "generic" bodies might be ones that are really characterful rather than plain. when I think of the head bits I like and u...

@Brian Van De Walker Actually I'm new york! I need the bricks to throw at cops cops and the molotovs at cop cars lol.

@Piisami  Your so wrong on that😆.  Not only is  it over done (Em4 does norse dwarfs, oathmark does norse dwarfs, God only  knows how  many norse dwarfs you can 3D print out...

@Brian Van De Walker Oh, I disagree they're the same. Disagree hard on that.  Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion. Victrix heads sadly do not fit the Oathmark bodies, they're too small....

@Piisami Lets agree to disagree on weather they are boring or not😆, they are pretty much the oathmark dwarfs all over again with less options and armored up to be even more like dark age Northern E...

@timbus the thirteenth I see your from CA too😆...  Yeah all the "offical" boltaction sets I have bought outside tanks and some metal figures have been with kitbashing in mind. @jedifalcon222 ...

@Ilostmycactus Umm, while 20mm would be good for epic 10mm minis, 20mm rounds are  too small for 28mm figures (even for true scale ones like the LOTR minis GW does), should just be focused on ...

@Brian Van De Walker "The other issue that did come up each time this has been talked about which effects both the manufacturer and the model builder is  "what outfit do we do the genric bodie...

I'm a big fan of the (currently digital-only) Victorian police kit made by Wargames Atlantic, they're great for Call of Cthulhu style Gaslight and Jazz-Age pulp horror, in my book; Strange Plastic ...

The more I think of it, the more I think that, if I were to need to build an undead army right this minute, for a Dark Ages, Medieval, or Renaissance setting, I had mostly only WGA kits to work wit...

I may have preordered these ;-) What ruleset do you suggest I use for them?

i would like to see these as well, in part because a lot of games like Kings of War still use a 20mm square base as the foundation of their movement trays/multibases sizes, and with the new line of...

I'd like for 20mm Round Multi-use Bases to be released.  They fit within the already existing 25mm rounds, unlike the 20mm squares which would poke out the corners, and also allow troop facing...

@Brian Van De Walker the ones on the classic fantasy range. They're not boring, they're near perfect. A little smaller axehead, a proper crossguard on the sword and they'd be perfect. And a spear, ...

god, I love bolt action for kitbashing. thanks, i'll take a look!

@Piisami don't worry, I'm a kitbasher who lives in a tiny apartment, so resin and 3d printing are kind of no-goes for me too. I will say the wga digital dwarves look a lot like the oathmark heavy a...

@Piisami Are you talking about the Grimskald ones? because the WA ones are kinda of boring concept wise honestly, though I suppose saga players would love them. 

Just sayin', you make a set of plastic dwarves that look like the ones on Strange Plastic I'll buy two or three hundred at the drop of a hat. Would buy the strange plastic ones except I have a weir...

I think for armored undead certainly it would be a good idea to have it be an upgrade sprue for the regular medieval kits.   For the unarmored ones, basing off the existing skeletons, and jus...

@timbus the thirteenth there is a molotov hand on the new Bolt Action Soviet Army Infantry Platoon Sprue. The Bricks could probably be kitbashed from the new Bolt Action German Veterans Platoon whi...

I will say that skeletons are almost always coming a massive horde, so if you need to kitbash them together, you're going to be spending a Very Long Time doing so. With that said, I wonder if an up...

@Mithril2098 YOU'RE RIGHT GOD IS GOOD @Yronimos Whateley I just realized there's no arms for chucking molotovs, or bricks. For my part of the country, that's a glaring ommision.

"Can your cult summon its very own Endless Horror? ENDLESS HORRORS FROM BETWEEN THE STARS is a game of playing Evil Cults who have decided that the world needs to end, that the Things between the ...

@Thomas Johnson "Halloween Bestiary..." I think WGA did a fantastic job on the zombies kit, but before that appeared, I suggested a generic undead kit that I envisioned as sort of a set of bodies ...

Not to hijack things too much, but not sure I'll ever see a better opportunity to mention that the default Wargames Atlantic skeleton kit is an excellent source of skulls and bones to decorate base...

Can't speak much for other countries, but for armed civilians for a zombie apocalypse/Red Dawn scenario in the USA, these sets are pretty well-rounded and covered, with a few curious omissions that...

P90's are in the agentss kit aren't they? and they're cross compatible with the other kits. i've seen some rather good SG1 kitbashes using the operators and agents kits alreadly

@Mithril2098 you get the vision. @Chainface yeah sorry, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. I think the issue is that skeletons specifically are supposed to lag about an era 'behind' wherever they...

Falklands War British would be fun too. Also 18th century sailors and american revolution continental light cavalry and tarleton's dragoons.

I really like the awesome Survivors, Agents, and Operators but I feel like a simple upgrade sprue could expand their use beyond an american setting. My thoughs would be weapon upgrades sprues for t...

I think the debate between norman or saxon skeletons is kinda beside the point. In my theoretical sprue scheme, the norman skeletons would be in the medieval skeleton army builder set, while the sa...

for skeletons, mostly the use of kite shields instead of round shields.

honestly, I have basically no clue what the difference is between saxons and normans, lol. all I want is scale mail and curved swords, which to me is classic 'armored skellies' look. Its definitely...

@Brian Van De Walker honestly i think saxons would be slightly more useful, since if it's just sword arm and head swaps to fit to the standard bodies, you could use nasal helms and the round shield...

The main reason i suggested an upgrade sprue was because I assume it would be easier and quicker to bring into production. Personally I prefer the largely bare skeleton design, so armored bodies ar...

@timbus the thirteenth I think Norman skellies would be a better all rounder undead set than saxons, that said we are limited to one entry (mine was "basic armored torso body sprue" for General Acc...
