@William Ings I like that. Warring states Chinese elves would be cool. I had planned on getting a box of each just because, but I would actually make an army if they had elf options

@JTam I like the Siocast. Good detail but doesn't feel fragile like resin. the shield wolf girls are a bit tall. They are 32-35mm where as these are 28mm. Though I think he lists them a...
For fantasy I think elfs based of a historical range, with enough heads to upgrade a historical kit or two into elfs would be cool. For example Warring States China, could have a fantasy elf comman...
@JTam yeah I am getting the garrison aravises army. I was planning on getting some goblins and valkyries too but will see how I feel when the pledge manager opens.
Well that sucked. His update notes sound hopeful though. How is the siocast? I was going to go with metal with my pledge but as you said it sounds like that option is going away. ...
@William Redford Ah, you are a gold level pledge. I'm silver so I think I will be getting a free desert ogre and snake sorceress. Which honestly is pretty cool. This...
With the Iternal Elf idea going through the ages it would be really nice to see some modern/Si Fi Elves that have glimpes of the past on some of their clothing remembering their vast heritage.
@Nanashi Anon You can make your own mohawks by buying cheep Eye lashes from pound stores and convert any head with cut portions. Also make great feelers uncut for carniverous plants. Oh and head cr...
I voted south East Asian as well, but Korean elves would be cool too.
South-east asia is a veritable untouched land for historical plastic kits. I would love to see the Khmer empire. I also think elves in the style of Joeson Korea or khmer would be exceptional...
@Mark Dewis Where is the challenge in that? :P @Steven StGeorges Former historical player? Next update might be tommorow. I've been de-spruing all my wargames atlantic romans to see what i have l...
Mark is right. Elves could be genetically engineered human/hybrids designed to live in Low-G or Zero-G environments. Thus they could be taller and slimmer than standard humans, with their facial fe...
@Brian Van De Walker but Death Fields is set somewhat in the future - Ooh Rah establishes that. Space Elfs can be advanced human colonists plucked from the tech wars of the 30th century or some suc...
They do appear to be harnessing the power!
@Steven StGeorges Not this time around.
@Brian Van De Walker 2nd post of the thread:
@Brian Van De Walker A mix of post-apo/exodite regarding Scifi and a mix of Mesopotanian/Desert + Nomad/East Asian for Fantasy... But Wild Elves in bikini could be fun too 😁
Oh, There's also a mohawk head on the Frostgrave Achipelago Crew sprue, and several on the Tribal sprue in that range (which also has somewhat bare bodies that could be converted to a leather look)...
@Mark Dewis Did you even read all the poll options?😆 (top one on the list isn't even middle ages🤣). Also given the Death Fields setting is SciFi and has clear theme going, beside being whole other...
@Steven StGeorges Oof, I should have added "state below" for other. 🤣 I well try to fix that. Edited: fixed, whats your "other"?
"Normal" pseudomedieval Elves are already pretty well catered for by GW and Oathmark and others. Although the same could be said for the Goblins, I guess. Unless you have a particular new look for...
@Brian Van De Walker 👍 Quite a nice pool idea Brian, I pick "Other" but lots of options were appealing to me like Desert, South East Asian, Steppe Nomads, Scrap Armor... so many amazing the...
In plastic, Em4 has some SciFi ganger types that would work, you could also mix the WA DF kits around with the Malstrom Edge Rebels and Northstar's sets. Those are the easy options currently on the...
Intro In case you couldn't tell by by the absured number of options, this is an unofficial poll since I don't work for WA and I don't know if they currently have any plans one way or the other on ...
The Death Fields upgrade sprue does have a few bionic left arms (as does Cannon Fodder II), which I guess is an easy option for models primarily armed with rifles. The Bulldog one has some bionic/...
I rigidly limit myself to Victorian Science Fiction, Blood Bowl, Traveller, Wild West, Medieval Fantasy, Pendragon and Superheroes. Unfortunately that last one blows things wide open because of tim...
Stargrave has some good heads. Some mohawks, several bionic eyes. Necromunda is probably the best range in plastic, but isn't that cheap. There are some good options in metal from bot...
@Brian Van De Walker Thanks mate... I've been partial regarding Reaper plastic minis because of the bending as said above. I did buy some -mostly in metal- but always avoid plastic ones with...
@William Redford The gravity thing sounds like it is more of a structural issue combined with the material used (there is a reason dragon’s are fantasy) so I doubt the ship is going have tha...
@William Redford Thanks for the insight. 👍
@Steven StGeorges on some of the earlier ones... no, its not enough. Some of teh weapons were super thin... But... if you have stuff like WA Irish or Conquistadors, replacing the weapons/arms works...
@William Redford Thanks Guillermo... I like most of Reaper minis, but still afraid about the bending of some elements like weapons, not sure a bath in pretty hot water then another in icy on...
@Lord Marcus Quite a glorious project my good Lord. As a former historical player, I was used to paint big armies with other members of my wargames club for conventions or events like open ...
Well... this launched yesterday... and was cancelled today. The creator basically said he was warned that fall kickstarters dont do as well, and as it was slower than previous campaigns he realized...
@Steven StGeorges the two white one. They are the older bones material so likely Bone 3 or 4? Bones stuff is great. The older bones white stuff is great for conversions as its super easy to cut... ...
@Nanashi Anon Both Paul and Alessio (Croocked Dice is even offering MadMaxian models.. so double the fun) do provide you with pretty good advices ... but in case just check that link for alt...
@Brian Van De Walker Mmm the couple of Reaper Minis on your pic are from Bones range?
@Geoff Maybury My niche is actually in touch with reptilians (lizardmen mostly), dinos should have been part of the fun but alas too many ongoing projects and not enough time to make them a ...
Croocked Dice make some post apocaliptic survivors & mutants, for metal figures, naturally you can mix bits from Stargrave/Frostgrave or modify with GS some Cannon Fodder's troopers.
@William Redford EH Bill, thats a future project for sure, a removable gun platform for a "T-Rex ",best of both worlds, beast, and attack Dinno.
@Steven StGeorges Thanks our kid, I love your modelling you`ve got your niche and it`s brill, if you change your mind you know you`re wellcome.
@Vitor Soares Yes but thats a good place to be my friend, Eileen and myself are still lost in Fantasy and unsure what gene.
Glad to hear others like the suggestion. In terms of design, industrial enough to look scientific, obscure and weird enough to be mad science would be a good place for them to be so they could fit...
Personally, I would have been okay if they just had extra bits that made guns and melee weapons look SciFi once attached them, but this looks like it well work .out okay
The Necromunda range from GW offers plenty of shoulder pads and oiled muscles but the prices are hard core!
Bandits from works like Mad Max, Fist of the North Star, and Fallout all have a pretty unified look: Leather or shirtless with random bits of metal (especially shoulder pads) as "armor", and lots o...
@JTam Pretty sure the thing on the sprues is a horse tail because RGD's Satyrs are supposed to be two legged horsemen, not a butt plug.🤣 You can tell if you look at the hornless heads😉.
@William RedfordActually I think the real reason is RGD made the arrangements with the Chinese factory not WA in particular, otherwise they might have been made in the USA (I don't think its bad bl...
A sprue of mechanical / cyborg arms and heads would be excellent for making all kinds of kit-bash figures. A few torsos and legs would allow full body conversions but I think "bolt-on" additions to...
@Mark Dewis I wouldn't go that far. I know the scifi bits will be really popular and sell more boxes, which means WA makes more money and are more inclined to make more stuff I like. So... ;) ...
