I think all of those clearly show halfling cavalry.

White as in racially, is what he's trying to say I think. Ethnic russians vs the culturally rather different cossacks.
@JTam I agree with you, the image on the right could be a fantasy troll maybe, or a dual purpose kit. The napoleonic one is definitely a Spanish Grenadier, the death fields heavy weapon is pretty c...
Sneak Peak for 16 SEP 22: Perhaps L to R: Deathfields heavy weapon, the top of the power armor/light mech kit, Grenadier (Spanish???), Magic Mike performing on Halloween. The last o...
Honestly, things are changing, but very, very slowly... The Spanish forces of police are now regionally organized and "la Guardia Civil" is very close to our French "Gendarmerie". Soldiers are now...
Thank you very much, I've finally got some painted up and ready to go
Paul Cziganj is right. Making French "gendarmes" is a very good idea. This uniform, with the collar "saxe" or "demi-saxe" is valid from 1916-18 to 1945-48 : first, "bleu horizon", then "bleu de Fr...
@Alessio De Carolis Whites? Not the Reds? The Ukrainians were always "Little Russians" to the Russians, but I'm not aware of any particular ill will towards the Cossacks from the Whit...
@Andreas Mayrhofer As someone who prefers the Prequels to the Originals (let's not talk about the Sequels 😒), I 110% approve of this project. A great idea to use the Eisenkern models as Clone...
Anyone have any experience ordering from Elite Wargames and Models?
Well, the late romans could work well for an Arthurian scenario, either historical and fantasy, and it's possible mix various boxes from the same period, don't forget that, contrary to common belie...
Nice stuff, expecially the last ones, adding shoulders & knees/elbows pads made from GS could add more hard sci-fi feel to these minis
Well, it's a little ironic that Ukrainian (!) cossacks are showed as Russia's patriots, knowing how they were despised by "white" russians (not the RCW political faction), being generally employed ...
the dogs are very useful. First non-undead I ever finished painting. And uhm... I don't remember if the ghost dog or the skeleton rat (from the Kings of War skeleton sprue) was the first overall...
Heh. I like to joke that I'm playing with play-do when I do a greenstuff session. And I'm pretty certain that a significant portion of the buyers for this stuff are adults who actually want to play...
It's the Tiger King! That he may be, but a rakshasa he ain't. Gotta have the hands the wrong way around. At that price range, Dark Sword Armory has a ton of beastfolk adventurers. Otter clerics...
The thing with "monster mounts" like raptors is more that if they are useful as models in their own right, selling boxes of them on their own makes sense. This, plus swapping riders from one mou...
@Paul Cziganj These are my first 3D printed miniatures. I wasn't aware how fragile they were. But forewarned is forearmed. Thank You.
@Miyuso This looks like a great game for an eight year old: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/79816/necromolds-great-intro-miniatures-wargame-for-kids
https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/59797/show-us-your-youngsters-painting-projects I think a lot of us would like to get our kids into wargaming. Well I found a great gate...
Ahhh. That takes me back to when the old WGF forums got spammed by porn bots...
@JTam A humorous event that the care home should not have had to apologize for if the attendees were ok with it. But not proof the nation truly cares for their veterans. If the nation was bey...
@OrlandotheTechnicoloured I think you may be in luck. Last weeks sneak peak:
@Mark Dewis Sure they both have their pros and cons. (And if you think halberds look cooler that counts as a valid pro.) I just really like the near auto delete of the strength 6 hits...
@Mark Dewis I hope you get chance to give it a try. It's light hearted fun.

@Geoff Maybury I think they coined them Dinosauroids. https://unbelievable-facts.com/2015/08/dinosauroids.html
Was cruising the Westfalia website Thanks to @William Redford and saw this: It's the Tiger King!
@Grumpy Gnome I really enjoyed "1612." I just rummaged around for my copy and couldn't find it.... maybe at the Mother in Laws? Annoying. Anyway, a good historical film wit...
@Mark Dewis German cavalry was active throughout the war on the Eastern front. Great opponents for the upcoming WGA WW1 Russian Infantry kit.
The thing with "monster mounts" like raptors is more that if they are useful as models in their own right, selling boxes of them on their own makes sense. For the cavalry side of things, unless yo...
I still have high hopes for a WW1 German Cavalry kit. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/51683/german-cavalry Adding some Death Fields parts like exploding lances and cyborg ...
@William Redford That would certainly work. I probably wouldn't call them upgrade sprues per say. I would call them "Grognard Cavalry," "Raumjager Riders," etc. Beca...
@JTam Don't forget those S6 attacks are wounding T4 on 2+ anyway. Against almost all troops (who are T3 or T4), Ogres with halberds will do better than ones with 2H weapons. So it's not a silly cho...
You could always have a small selection of basic legs with pants & boots, or light armour (greaves and knee cops). Add in a couple of futuristic armoured options and you could cover most humano...
Plenty of histoical examples of ladies cross dressing to fight, but as many from comic fiction. Crossdressing is a staple of Shakespeare, as well as Opera. And operas based on Shakespeare 😉 I'll d...
@Geoff Maybury my proposed bikini ladies plus spare lizardman heads gets you that 😉
@JTam from the upgrade sprues! :) but yeah. Its pretty much the idea of the hourse in the General Accoutrements. But with the idea that riders would come, Just not the need for a full box of 1 type...
@Brian Van De Walker yeah, I think we're on the same page, but just mixing up our terminology. Obviously we differ about our "barbarian" tastes. But I think the Frostgrave kit does zero in o...
The problem with mounts alone is where do you get the legs for your riders of choice?
@William Redford Cheesy answer... but a hybrid course of action would probably be best. Initial kit should have riders of some sort. But the riders should come in two piec...
@Mark Dewis The Irishg were the first full WA kit i got. (I got haflings first, but just a free sprue from the Survey thing a couple year back). Now I have: Irish Aztecs Haflings Cannon ...
Mark Copplestone is my current favorite sculptor. He really gets what needs to be ruggedised and what can be kept in scale with 28mm metal. And such clean lines!
Cross-compatibility between mounts and rider legs would be ideal. We already have goblins that can ride spiders, and may well be able to ride the raptors. Has anyone tested the goblins on th...
@Steven StGeorges I imagine accessory sprues must be something that's difficult to design. A full kit has a marketing identity and a target demographic, but an accessory sprue has to be something t...
@Steven StGeorges minis from from Northstar and Coppelstone were some of my regular buys and absolute favorites, until last year, of course. Not what we are talking about here, but I love, love, l...
+1 'Cause of Mister JTam, we are all now wishing for a multi-genre Polish Winged Hussard box.. so riderless exotic mounts will be more than interesting (as separate sprue or even as a box) in orde...
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy "Ah Noir Désir" ... I do remember when Bertrand Cantat was walking around with his friends on Rue Sainte Catherine when still almost unknown excepted for the local...
We know that Raptor cavalry are planned. Do you think it would be better if the initial release was just riderless raptors and then "upgrade sprues" could be released to add riders from different f...
