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... ;) ...
I mean... we all KNOW the modern bits are really there to tempt 40K players to buy the box. But the reason for the American flavour of those heads could well be the Spacenam kit. Catachan Jungle Fi...
@Steven StGeorges and the kit will let you achieve that concept. But there are other people with different ideas, and WGA is in the business of flogging as many kits as possible. Aside from anythi...
You could always claim your legion has been *very* naughty and had to be decimated a few times...
I don't have those sprues, but do have some Warlord GI's I could test on. AFAIK all the Bolt Action range mixes and matches pretty well. Perry also do Desert Rats if you're mostly after shorts and...
Criminals or slaves with the brains replaced with robot ones, and other bionics as required. I kitbashed some bionic space pirates a few months ago, and when I got around to paint them I suddenly ...
This could be a good idea for an upgrade sprue, since it translates reasonably well across the range. Perhaps the teams sometimes run out of reinforcements mid-match and must improvise with crude c...
@Geoff Maybury My good friend, I will be pleased to follow such a project but I cannot be part of it thanks to my pro agenda, cardboard model kits I still need to assemble, minis waiting to ...
This funded and ended today. Some nice freebies unlocked too. Including a trio of arabian ogres.
Quite a pretty good idea... could be used for various projects and conversions like a team of soldiers based on Marvel old cyborg super-soldier Deadlock 👍
@Geoff Maybury I looks like an amazing project, but not really my cup of tea. I wish you luck and am anxious for seeing what you will do. Weird wars are a curiosity of mine, but I am now too deep i...
@Mark Dewis Okay complete misunderstanding over here... The Ogres were human Lansquenets, let's say mercenaries from Switzerland fighting François Ier at the Bataille de Marign...
@Geoff Maybury hmmm. It does sound fun. Maybe I will go see what Dinos the craft store has this weekend. I do have the reaper trex and triceratops...
Victrix beat WGA to the punch for unarmored late Romans, though that probably wont stop me getting a kit (or at least a few sprues) for WGA unarmored guys - I'm hopeful that WGA will feel the burn ...
@Mark Dewis Mark do these scale nicely with ours could I get my Drowned Earth Malita from them they look great.?
I've an undead army (in a box) made up of mainly sedition wars techno-zombies, that I'm going to have to get around to working on, I've been planning on using them with other boardgame cyborged ali...
@William Redford Cheers Bill want to give it a go?
If you want to come along on the journey with us, find your own dinno and I`ll show you with photos and verse how to build one. You will need to get ready with the following items. Super glue PVA g...
@Geoff Maybury Cant wait to see more DINO goodness.
I joined this Forum approximately 10 months ago, and those that know me, are familliar that I sold my collections of ,AvP,Starwars, Startrek and Starship Troopers, Zombieside etc. Every thing that ...
Genuinely curious as to when the Merovingian Franks will release now, as it's been well over a year since we saw the CADs.
@James Brown Works for all time periods too, good for Gothic ,Punk, any thing really drop an arm or leg onto a WW 2 French Partizan and you`ve a mad German science experiment. Think you`re on to a ...
And just for fun... here is an all fantasy set with some female torsos... :)
