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.
I'm just about finished with painting up my second box of Tirailleurs depicting early war (France 1940) units.These are truly amazing miniatures, with so many possibilities for variation in poses a...
Late Romans were often local recruits. A bit of Germanic height may not be out of place.
Cat's out of the bag: I might pick this up... Will depend on if the associated book miniature is awesome and if I can get a signed edition..... Anyone have thoughts on the current editi...
@JTam oh, I think your post is HIGHLY relevant to the conversation, and I almost 100% agree (I don't think the Sisters are that bad. They only share legs and cloak with the Shadow Warriors. And the...
They look great. Thanks for posting these.
Also, the original author and artist Russ Manning only died in 1981, so trademark and corporate IP ownership issues aside, the earliest Magnus could become public domain in the US is 2051. That's w...
Not particularly relevant, but I always thought the old 4th Edition monopose plastic High Elf Spearman and Archers looked better and made better units than their replacement plastic regiment set. ...
@Estoc Unlikely. The original run of Magnus was 1963-1977 and Jim Shooter purchased the rights in the 1980s, then managed to keep it in publication on and off through the 90's and 00s. Dynamite Ent...
I think the Games Workshop Dark Elf plastics look excellent. The Corsairs and Cold One Riders in particular are great. Now the High Elf Shadow Warriors/Sisters of Averlorn kit is...
@Brian Van De Walker I agree they don't look that great, but it's 80% the chunky weapons and hamfists doing that. It might be interesting to see them made up with Oathmark Elf arms (anyone that's m...
I'm pretty sure that he's in public domain now.
