@James Cutts I don't know, the people who really like early Hellenist armies really want them, everyone else is like "there is more to the Ancient world than Greece and Hellenist states🤬" and almos...

Also consider the Frostgrave Demon Sprue. Suitable crossbows, three of the bodies have normal knees, usable hand weapon. Most likely just a source for bits, though. The other two kits are more suit...
@Brian Van De Walker I could see the Ooh Rahs getting a modern weapon sprue to expand use. There's really nothing in their heads and bodies that clashes (I've said before I'll probably get some for...
For that matter... the Oathmark Elves look pretty suitable for Dark Elf spearmen anyway. Their chain shirts look fairly similar to the older GW Dark Elf style. Use a single helm feather (or plastic...
The Frostgrave Cultist sprue with Elf headswaps (Oathmark spares are a source) should make pretty good Dark Elves. Has spiky crossbows, has a suitable spear, axe and sword. Has a decent amount of C...
This inspired me to try Cannon Fodder bodies with some of the Stargrave alien heads to make Saucer People. The jumpsuits will be silver and the skin likely green (making them grey is just going to ...
For those thinking this could be some sort of group*, sorry 😀 * Sadly not like the The People's Front of Judea, or was it the Judean People's Front?
For some unknown reason I recently decided to start up a Ancient Greece / Macedonian force for various games and in my quest to find more plastic minis stumbled on the post from last May on the Thu...
Oh, and the idea was also done with those RGD Gaming Centaurs/Fauns. The Centaur kit has some Faun sprues and the Faun kit has some Centaur ones. But a male/female CF kit feels like a much more nat...
Brave warrior... Facts first. The Hague Convention of 1907 allowed a neutral country to export arms and ammunition to any belligerent (art.7) and, if possible, to ensure equal treatment between th...
these look amazing, general infantry for various mercs militias and less advanced countries
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy So my initial thoughts favored your theory number 2. That being said, until your post I had no idea Finland had ever exported any. After your gauntlet throw I have...
@Geoff Maybury thanks! My thought process was that handles would be synthetic and not wood, then it was a short jump to fluro. I considered putting fluro strips on the miners, but the dusty and dry...
@JTam I wasn't awere GW still sells old Dark Elves. They are very expensive though for only 10 miniatures.
Thank you or, better, "milesker anitz" Geoff, for the expression : "You've got it on the nail" = "Tu l'as mis dans le mille". I love colourful ways of saying things, just because you don't hear th...
I am having a game published and it is currently on pre-order. It is call Obsidian Empires and focuses on warfare in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. As many of you in this group are aware, War...
Hey, my brother "Mescalero"... looking closely at the weapon, I have an idea on its origin. Now, let's see if you come to the same conclusion. Tu relèves le gant ? Do you take up the gauntl...
I don't know; while it does sound like a good idea, "sku bloat" is a real thing that should be avoided at all costs.
Bombshell Miniatures and Hydra Miniatures make some great Pulp retro sci-fi sculpts but I do really like the artistic flexibility with plastic multi-pose kits over metal.
@Geoff Maybury Right, but I was speaking about SEPARATE legs from the mounts, I know too well how difficult is to separate legs from a mount, with half bodies and legs conversions would be ea...
@Mark Dewis Some one was pleasently busy this weekend they look great Mark , I love the none combat nature of these. Plus the "Find me, glow in the dark handles", thats a bloody brilliant idea,I ma...
@Blutze Don`t know if you are aware but "Black Cat Bases " do a lot of hands with weapons and tools, weapon and tool spares . From swords etc, to guns and torches etc. all in scale with our figures.
@Blutze I could not agree more I played for ages Warewolf RPG the figures had 4/5? changes. Id settle for 3 if they did a real nice wolf /human say as in "The Underworld" films. Their are so ...
Love the vibrant colours you have a real painting talent and a steady hand.
They look really nice, congratulations.
The existing Deathfields support sprue might work.
@H M yeah but victrix stuff is so tall. Id like to use them for barbarians and the WGA stuff for the romans because you have the whole height difference steriotype, no matter how true or not that w...
Retro-styled Spacemen (and women) plus a decent range of Alien adversaries would be a bit hit with me!
It would be very appealing to those looking for a mixed force. I already have multiple boxes of both sets but for a new buyer it would be a good option. These are one of the most versatile sets th...
Good idea...
@Geoff Maybury Yes... thats all... 😁 This vehicle consists of many small parts, so you have to glue a lot together.I will give him the STLs and ask for a price, since I often place a bulk o...
@Brian Van De Walker I was specifically adressing H M's odd statement about Osprey. I'm fully aware that Turkish, Byzantine and classical armour scholarship goes back way. The Victorians were nuts ...
Nice recent write up on Winged Hussars and their use in "Pike and Shotte": https://warlord-community.warlordgames.com/forces-of-fame-polish-winged-hussars/
These are a great idea. The historical players should lap them up, and the crowd still playing WHFB could be a good market. It might be possible to do a combo kit with Conquistador cavalry? Cortez...
@Frank Reischmann While some folks find them perfect, I find them too big. And their weapons often even more so. Nor do they have a 50’s Pulp sci-fi vibe. And they are pricey. B...
Finished my space miners on the weekend. Cannon Fodder bodies, Oathmark Dwarf Light Infantry and Fireforge Folk Rabble tool arms.
@Nanashi Anon it might be good if you could edit your original post with the later suggestions, to have them all in one place at the top.
It would greatly surprise me if the Grognard cavalry riders were NOT designed to fit both Raptors and horses. It probably makes more sense to size them in CAD on the horse models first, then design...
A thought came to me on the weeked that it might be an idea to sell a box with 50% male and 50% female cannon fodder sprues. Perry do something of the kind with their Franco-Prussian Prussians - se...
@Ian if you mean the full masks ones, should work with most 28mm figures, since you don't have the face to check scale on, and it's an outsized hat to start with. Panzerlehr could be painted up to...
That is a loincloth, not a saddle blanket. And we've already had medium-sized infantry. Kroxigors proxygors? Hope they don't waste any sprue space on non-fantasy nonsense, I want some gear variety ...
Not for vampires, but for lycanthropes. And it isn't a timed transition, it is just three shape options - humanoid (or giant), hybrid (what you usually see in minis), and straight animal. One of th...
Given the particulary nature of Dark Elves' society That'll vary based on the setting. D&D drow are matriarchal, and also have highly genderized battlefield roles. Males train as warriors or...
Recently repaired some of my 5th edition elven steeds. Pin down the length of the tail, pour oodles of superglue into the body, slot in the tail and press the wire against the inside of the back. H...
Looks like the old school (very Reiter looking) metals are running $15 or more a pop these days. (Top used models.. of course there are no horse tails. Remember how you would look at the...
