@Nanashi Anon RGD's Faun's (whole sprues of females) and thier new Amazons. You mentioned Warlord Games Female Female Survivors, but those are not really in print and were done by another co...
@Hudson Adams love the idea, honestly. It is a great way to make a kit that "goes further". Congratulations.
Most of these (i.e. Flintloque) are really just head swaps, though. The closer the setting steers to the historical look, the more this will be the case. Unless the elves are significantly shorter...
@Hudson Adams Indeed. And removing the slashings from the pants isn't a massive bit of conversion if that's the look you need. Either cut them off, putty them up, or a bit of both.
@Mark Dewis you can floppy hat and feather them up too if you want more of a landsnecht look or paint the clothing more muted to have them blend in as regular troops too.
Sweet. Good to see those parts in place. I wasn't sure if the Landsknecht bodies would look too out of place with the more modern parts, but they look pretty good.
@Nanashi Anon Defintely women. And there are some female heads on the Stargrave Trooper sprue, because a woman in heavy body armour only looks different if she has her helmet off. There's ...

I should have remembered Gunfighters II. I wasn't sure if those Folk Rabble were women or just robed men.
GEG Plastic Gunfighters II Fireforge Folk Rabble AND the Living Dead Peasant version of the same models. 2 out of 6 of the figures on the sprues are female (also some useful noncombat arms). Shie...

@Jonathan Udbye you are speaking my language... you had me at rapiers
Ok. Hear me out here. Three musketers style elves. Rapiers, epees and matchlocks.

@Alessio De Carolis https://youtu.be/ryBdaLX1GtA I'll be give this one a try... Thanks.
@H M yeah. Its pretty telling when the 2 highest results in the poll are "Wood Elves and High Elves". So basically the standard vision for elves is what people want. I mean, that is what would prob...

@Geoff Maybury I enjoyed the first season of Shadow and Bone. I thought it was interesting how technology was making the battle wizards increasingly irrelevant. The old veteran s...
@Mark Dewis I can't agree. If your sole definition of cavalry is conducting charges than, yes, horse cavalry ended shortly after the Napoleonic Wars. Rifles put an end to ...
@Alessio De Carolis Definitely. And awesome pic! Any WW1 German cavalry kit would have to have the gas equipment...
@Brian Van De Walker From experience, many wargamers on a whole tend to lean towards more conservative ideas in so far as desire for products go. I think there is a certain degree of 'people don't ...
@JTam WWI's german cavalry such as these: from an old movie "Fraulein Doktor", they've a primitive anti gas protection gear
Kinda hard to decide as they all seem good. But personally, we don't see many Arabian style or WW2/ 1 styles. So those might make a good change.
I agree to this...
Please Matthew if you could spare the time could you do a "How I painted the Harvesters" post for us to get your brilliant Hues. Very sorry spelled your surname wrong.

@JTamThese would make great SI/FI as well for "Shadow amd Bone" which I`m gettin, more drawn to as our fantasy choise.
@JTam they ARE mounted infantry. But mounted infantry on occasion in the modern era did perform charges on horseback. Beersheba is a prime example, but the Australian Light Horse were definitely mo...
@Mark Dewis I would agree all WW2 horse Soldiers are MOSTLY mounted Infantry. There are too many documented cavalry charges to say they were "just" mounted Infantry. I largely agree t...
The trick is that 28mm WW2 gaming is very focussed on infantry squads plus a few vehicles. Tactically you're as likely to see "cavalry" dismount to fight on foot with their guns (all WW2 horse sold...
If there was a WGA WW2 German Cavalry kit and a WGA WW2 Soviet Cavalry/Cossack kit with separate legs and torsos one could also do some easy and awesome Cossacks in German service bashes.
@Mark Dewis The fact that's there is ZERO plastic WW2 cavalry is vaguely baffling. Any WW2 cavalry kit would be popular and would serve as a far better basis of conversion to ot...
@Hudson Adams Its a good idea but you'd need to make it so that the people who buy models don't feel left out. Maybe have a myminifactory page as well as on-site selling. Like a with t...

As the Second World War left so many nameless and faceless victims, on all sides... giving names on the anonymous actors of the time is important. Thank you, "adiskide" (friend).
Make the legs and torsos separate to aid conversions. Include a more elaborate leader torso and a female torso. Print money.
