@Mark Dewis Nope, with so many ancient civilisations out there still lacking plastic box sets, there's no such thing as enough love for Ancients.
I heared now from multiple sources that WLG are strongly hinted Republican Romans and Carthaginians on their last Open Day - I hope for Epic Battles.
mantic ogres are more classic fantasy barbarians. Asymetrical scraps of metal plate over leather harnesses, exposed arms to show off muscles, etc.
@Geoff Maybury That's a neat scenario and a great concept. I did get your PM. And found the Dungeons and Doggos miniatures. Really neat, and really cute. Thank You!
@William Redford I don't think the Mantic Ogres really match the Landsknecht vibe either though. More of a Cabbage Patch / Garbage Pail Kids vibe really.
@JTam I have seen a couple wizkids female ogres. And Atlantis miniatures has some females but none really match the landsknect vibe.
And if female Ogres really are your fetish.... The old metal Games Workshop has to be floating around on Ebay from time to time. EDIT: I remember the combat rolling pin, but I also remembe...

Some parts of the Perry Ansar Warrior kit could be used for Judeans. In particular there's a bearded skullcap head and simple tunic bodies with bare feet. Add a belt, sandals and the Tzitzits and t...
I'll likely get a sprue of Conquistadores for experiments soon.
@Red Bee GW's old warmaster and Epic lines were a nominal 10mm, which may fit with 6mm depending on manufacturer. At the very least, Warmaster humans might proxy as 6mm Ogres and so forth, bu...

Ok. So the Ogres are coming in December. Time once again for some unit planning and to look for some alternative models to use with them. I have some plans on using (maybe) some Mant...
Exact Steffen... sorry. It's sometimes a bit difficult for me to stay focused in English. This language is far from natural for me. Edit ?

You know who has a signed by Rick Priestly rulebook coming? This guy. https://us.warlordgames.com/collections/hail-caesar-2nd-edition
I have the feeling WLG could bring Infantry & Cavalry with seperate shields. I'm not sure how WLG would fix the untercuts on the backsides when shields are part of the Stripes. I also think th...
@Caratacus the upcoming Egyptians and Chinese aren't enough?

@Geoff Maybury What's a "Last Train" scenario?
@William Redford Maybe use one of these at the front of the airship in lieu of a Great Cannon? Nice price for one sprue. Female crewman too. Maybe use the profile of the old Dogs...
@Joshua Qualtieri Please try to make them 28mm as well they`re really inviting.
Wow who knew? Elves and their diversity was such a termoil And heres me out on his own all I wished for was Elves for today with a hint of their past Heritage? " I`ve had that have I not😭😕😺

@Hudson Adams That brings the Afghans nicely into the 20th century without a doubt. Bring on those "Opperators".

@Steffen Seitter I think it is a great idea.
So a key feature of these Epic minis is that they are in strips. I wonder if one could sculpt the shields of the shield wall connected/overlapped so as ONE shield decal could be placed across the ...
@Steffen Seitter I think it's a great idea. The Warlord Games' "EPIC" games have really captured a lot of attention. Partnering with a ruleset to produce a box set would b...

@Alessio De Carolis Pretty much yes and yes: https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-trending/fedayeen-darth-vader-helmets/
@Brian Van De Walker but really did they had such an helmet? It's the first time I see it, very strange, perhaps some Iraqui higher-ups was a sci-fi fan?
How about the following? Wargames Atlantic Team up with Producers of Historical Tabletop Rulesets and bring something similary to Warlord Games "Epic Battles" Range? Warlord Games Epic Battles AC...
You know once these guys are out, I think it would cool if they did some STL Iraqi Fedayeen helmets for a little Cobra action.
@Mithril2098 Given the asking price of the individual sprues on ebay and elsewhere I would say $16 at best, but $18 to $20 is more realistic given how things are right now.
