@Selrahc Usually the GW products worth looking at are the skirmish ones, especially the starter sets. Subracting the cost of the rulebook (which is one area GW are generally the same price as every...

@Brian Van De Walker that is actually why i say the closer you can get to $15 the better. resellers always mark up their sprues, and if you want the product to be more attractive than just buying f...

Yes, the Historicans moves away from the Fall of the Roman Empire more to a transition period. The true Dark Age of Human History is the Bronze Age Colapse - we actual know NOTHING about which kno...

There are two trading marks of the Illyrians; The sica and the lack of belts. Most Equipment was Greek/Hellenistic as the largest influence on the Illyrians. Mixing in Norricum and Pannonian Celts...

I really like the RGD set (probably going to be my next set of theirs that I pick up), but, when I think Amazon I think Wonder Woman and crew with a more Greek Hoplite feel. As an added bonus it wo...

@Estoc this is a skink Good luck to any lawyer defending a tradmark based on short anthromorphic lizards.  

I really like the more cartoonish proportions, and having the dog heads on the reptile bodies. It fits a lot of the older descriptions of Kobolds in D&D, while still being true to modern stuff....

@William Redford Same here mate. It is also the way I feel when I browse the Printable Scenery website... and I did not have much luck with the 3d print services Printable Scenery recommended....

There hasnt yet been anyway for me (as a non-3d printer owner) to get anything so I have kind of lost interest. This of course will change if and when prints are available for purchase. But right n...

both skinks and dnd's lizard kobolds have active copyrights as far as I can tell, using either of them might cause a lawsuit.

@Charles Tottington  You're absolutely right that the dog head grafted on a completely reptilian body builder body looks like an afterthought.  A cool idea perhaps to attempt to make eve...

@Mark Dewis Don't you have a particular interest in this fight? Brand new:    

I've been listening to https://youtu.be/2QBA6ZPmj3Q while doing so.e chores today. I knew he had some connections, but it seems Pyrrhus was sheltered in Illyria as a child. I've been preparing som...

@Berggeit  All the volumes I have are very well done.   Here and there the translation to English isn't perfect but nothing inhibits understanding. Please post a review of the Jap...

That's so true, Anaia ! Mines and... sometimes mass graves. I forgot to specify the original use of the "sica" in mountain populations : a magnificent sheperd's and hunter's tool for cutting up an...

@JTam I sure will but certainly wait until the models are up for pre-order.

@JTam I did consider getting the Feudal Japan one from Painting War a while ago. So good to know they are good books.

@Geoff Maybury  Which one is one of your favorite rules?

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy  Well, and the landmines.

@H M  Lucid Eye really hit it out of the park with the Sea People.  

@JTam They have been there for a long, long time though :(

@JTam Those Sea Peoples are exceptional, but they sure could use some Sherden allies... (wink wink, nudge nudge WGA ;)

I agree with William. His (your) analysis is a good starting point. The Balkans are, from Antiquity until today, an ethnic mosaic. Finding the archetype of the Illyrian warrior is absolutely impos...

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Himself was his doom, trying to chomp too many european countries, ironically once he said : "With bayonets you can do a lot of things, except sit on them". Well in Spain happen...

In metal there are a lot of them, they lack in plastics, so Frostgrave-like range would be welcome, with different bodies and armour types, as in the pool I think that figures as depicted by classi...

@JTam Snap one of my favorite rules buying Viterex sprues from sprue shop to convert.

This looks like a good set and I like the background. I would get this set in a solid form (no 3d printer), though as I am not a fan of the mutations, I would hope to have enough parts to be able t...

@Selrahc "ONE DAY MY SON, ONE DAY" At least we can dream!!!.😭

I would get this, having neither cf box so far (monetary issues at the time), but with Xenos Rampant now released, who knows

@JTam Had some real good games, only finished because the two players with the bigest majority of figures moved to London with their jobs. Still got some bits hanging around in the shed, would have...

@Hudson Adams although I to haven't got into 3D printing at home I appreciate that this lets you produce some excellent line additions. As long as you have reputable third-party 3D printers in diff...

Wrong harness? No harness = scalpel 😆@JTam yes, I have "Anton" too, but now he has a Mauser 😇  Whatever the shortcomings of these may or may not be I'm just happy that there'll be a boxful of...

The evident theme leaders.

I quite enjoyed the Lost Regiment series and did consider a gaming project based on it, with using GW Kroot models for the Tugar.

@William Ings  Oh yeah, that's a decent signature weapon: Semi related: Find it humorous that in England a people named after a type of knife are currently trying to ban/control knives.

@Geoff Maybury  I recently read the first book in that series.   That's a great game idea.  Using 15mm humans and 25mm orcs is a really clever way to show the disparity in s...

@JTam from my understanding, they are known for their use of the Sica, a curved sword their blend of gear was mainly Hellenistic and La Tène. But also a fair bit of Thracian and later, Ro...

@JTam I would disagree, it was a world war afterall so ideally you would want to portray some fronts other than the west especially when it's the British. The Wolseley Helmet then opens up more opp...

Well lost my mind a bit but started a Trojan force this Black Friday.  (Still 30% off). All Lucid Eye Amazons and Sea Peoples (Lukka). I already had some Lucid Eye Amazons (to include ...

As I said previously the sun hats are fun and add flexibility to the kit.  But WGA's new STL line and the selling physical copies of the STL line changes the complexion of everything. &n...

I have these two volumes: Honestly I found them underwhelming.  Lots of repetition between the two volumes, typos, no individual miniatures taken from start to finish, only basic techniques...

Typical contents and details from a Painting War volume: More excerpts from some Painting War Napoleonic volumes here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/76696/napoleonic-s...

The "Painting War" series is a series of painting guides that I whole heartedly recommend.  I have several volumes and they are always packed with context, information on the conflict and unif...

@William Ings  Interesting.  Was there any weapons, headgear, or armor particularly associated with the Illyrians?

I almost feel "Naken Hellens" could be a box in their own right. Mainly for diorama and fantasy.

Some really nice painted Lucid Eye Amazons here on this gentleman's blog: https://mogsymakes.net/2022/06/26/greek-myth-amazons-and-ethiopians/ He also has a picture of the Amazons as depicted i...

I think somthing between the Foundry ones and the Wagames Factory (but better preparations) would look good. Some cake and some steak. I think it really comes down to what depiction of amazons we ...

Thoughts on Amazons?  What direction would you like to see WGA go with them if they did a kit? I think I'd most want to see female "classic" hoplites with linothorax (one bronze "muscle" cuir...

I wasn't too hot on the first episode of Rogue Heroes, but there's an animated series of Netflix (it's like comic book art style, with motion captured faces for the actors) called The Liberator, ba...

In plastic there is the RGD Amazons: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/80168/rdg-gaming-amazon-satyrs-and-scythians An interesting take.  I think they tried to get th...
