Quality post.
@William Ings Given how the last fantasy poll on the FB group had "I use historical scale minis for fantasy gaming" winning out not to mention almost everyone else doing plastic elves already...
When Blood Bowl resized the pitch in 2016, there was also a general increase in the scale of a Human sized figure. Likely because of the Age of Sigmar resizing, though Blood Bowl is only loosely co...
@Geoff Maybury it is, and thank you for the suggestion. I normally use toilet paper and white/ wood glue (elmers glue, I think you call it). It worked on some romans tents I di, tried it, it worked...
Oh, since WGA Goblins are cheap over at North Star today, it ocurred to me that with headswaps and a few guns they actually might make pretty good post-Apoc wasteland punks. Might need leg transpla...
Fair point about the science fiction angle, but you did include VSF/Steampunk. 😉 Any solidly historical look is frankly just going to be headswaps. So I vote for an upgrade sprue, or a style of Fa...

Harvester upgrade sprue or STLs would seem to be a no brainer. But also, any 'Nid player is likely to have, or be able to trade for, any amount of gun arms. Tyranid Warriors (which these see...
@Mark Dewis @Steven StGeorges @Vitor Soares(sigh😆) The Exodites are kind of copyrighted and the closest to them on this poll would be Wild Elves or Wood elves if extra SciFi bits where added🤔. ...
8 legionaries with Spears and shields are on the painting desk. Another 24 are primed. And I'm currently de-spruing the remainder of the sprues I own to see what I can make out of...
My first thought is I wish i'd gone with Harvesters since it was one of the names i rejected for my own submission, before settling on Reavers. Second thought is that I'm planning to combine the H...
@Viking Cowboy Yea, I can get behind this.
@Vitor Soares If thats a serious thought wrap the model in cling film, use paper to be the sadle shape. Then milliput the sadle over the paper, cling film will prevent any milliput addersion....
Bronza Age Elves. Kings who did battle with kings and emperors of the bronze age. Elves adorned in the fashions of Lagash, Umma, Ur, And Uruk knowing a language not spoken by man in thousands of ...
Honestly? I would choose, if I could, at least five different options. South east, Far East, Victorian, Ice Elfs, Exodites / Sci-fi,... But two are really up there for me. Amerindia Elfs and Step...
I like them. And certainly will buy them. And probably try to adapt a saddle to them 😊
@Charles Tottington I think that the weapons are for mainly supressive fire and flank protection with that chitin armour and those claws its slaughter time. They resemble the ST araknids and look a...
Holy Moly those bugs are huge! Really going to be hard to proxy them as Tyrannids. But really has me interested as to what WGA has for the Death Fields Game...... granted the fact there are only tw...
@William Redford Hmmmh. It would be better the other way around. They're not called oversized heroes for nothing. Good to know. Thank You.
@William Ings I like that. Warring states Chinese elves would be cool. I had planned on getting a box of each just because, but I would actually make an army if they had elf options
@JTam I like the Siocast. Good detail but doesn't feel fragile like resin. the shield wolf girls are a bit tall. They are 32-35mm where as these are 28mm. Though I think he lists them a...
For fantasy I think elfs based of a historical range, with enough heads to upgrade a historical kit or two into elfs would be cool. For example Warring States China, could have a fantasy elf comman...
@JTam yeah I am getting the garrison aravises army. I was planning on getting some goblins and valkyries too but will see how I feel when the pledge manager opens.
Well that sucked. His update notes sound hopeful though. How is the siocast? I was going to go with metal with my pledge but as you said it sounds like that option is going away. ...
@William Redford Ah, you are a gold level pledge. I'm silver so I think I will be getting a free desert ogre and snake sorceress. Which honestly is pretty cool. This...
With the Iternal Elf idea going through the ages it would be really nice to see some modern/Si Fi Elves that have glimpes of the past on some of their clothing remembering their vast heritage.
@Nanashi Anon You can make your own mohawks by buying cheep Eye lashes from pound stores and convert any head with cut portions. Also make great feelers uncut for carniverous plants. Oh and head cr...
I voted south East Asian as well, but Korean elves would be cool too.
South-east asia is a veritable untouched land for historical plastic kits. I would love to see the Khmer empire. I also think elves in the style of Joeson Korea or khmer would be exceptional...
@Mark Dewis Where is the challenge in that? :P @Steven StGeorges Former historical player? Next update might be tommorow. I've been de-spruing all my wargames atlantic romans to see what i have l...
Mark is right. Elves could be genetically engineered human/hybrids designed to live in Low-G or Zero-G environments. Thus they could be taller and slimmer than standard humans, with their facial fe...
@Brian Van De Walker but Death Fields is set somewhat in the future - Ooh Rah establishes that. Space Elfs can be advanced human colonists plucked from the tech wars of the 30th century or some suc...
They do appear to be harnessing the power!
@Steven StGeorges Not this time around.
@Brian Van De Walker 2nd post of the thread:
@Brian Van De Walker A mix of post-apo/exodite regarding Scifi and a mix of Mesopotanian/Desert + Nomad/East Asian for Fantasy... But Wild Elves in bikini could be fun too 😁
Oh, There's also a mohawk head on the Frostgrave Achipelago Crew sprue, and several on the Tribal sprue in that range (which also has somewhat bare bodies that could be converted to a leather look)...
@Mark Dewis Did you even read all the poll options?😆 (top one on the list isn't even middle ages🤣). Also given the Death Fields setting is SciFi and has clear theme going, beside being whole other...
@Steven StGeorges Oof, I should have added "state below" for other. 🤣 I well try to fix that. Edited: fixed, whats your "other"?
"Normal" pseudomedieval Elves are already pretty well catered for by GW and Oathmark and others. Although the same could be said for the Goblins, I guess. Unless you have a particular new look for...
@Brian Van De Walker 👍 Quite a nice pool idea Brian, I pick "Other" but lots of options were appealing to me like Desert, South East Asian, Steppe Nomads, Scrap Armor... so many amazing the...
In plastic, Em4 has some SciFi ganger types that would work, you could also mix the WA DF kits around with the Malstrom Edge Rebels and Northstar's sets. Those are the easy options currently on the...
Intro In case you couldn't tell by by the absured number of options, this is an unofficial poll since I don't work for WA and I don't know if they currently have any plans one way or the other on ...
The Death Fields upgrade sprue does have a few bionic left arms (as does Cannon Fodder II), which I guess is an easy option for models primarily armed with rifles. The Bulldog one has some bionic/...
I rigidly limit myself to Victorian Science Fiction, Blood Bowl, Traveller, Wild West, Medieval Fantasy, Pendragon and Superheroes. Unfortunately that last one blows things wide open because of tim...
Stargrave has some good heads. Some mohawks, several bionic eyes. Necromunda is probably the best range in plastic, but isn't that cheap. There are some good options in metal from bot...
@Brian Van De Walker Thanks mate... I've been partial regarding Reaper plastic minis because of the bending as said above. I did buy some -mostly in metal- but always avoid plastic ones with...
@William Redford The gravity thing sounds like it is more of a structural issue combined with the material used (there is a reason dragon’s are fantasy) so I doubt the ship is going have tha...
@William Redford Thanks for the insight. 👍
@Steven StGeorges on some of the earlier ones... no, its not enough. Some of teh weapons were super thin... But... if you have stuff like WA Irish or Conquistadors, replacing the weapons/arms works...
