@Lord Marcus Yeah, I want to see how they look together. I have some of Mantic's Restic ogres, and they are one of the few mantic minis I like. (the others being the demon guys and girls) So if the...

@Berggeit I'll be including the other kits either is part of the main project or as sub projects. Speaking of 10 Foederati Numeri Infantry, awaiting the rest of their unit before being ba...
@Mark Dewis A couple of days ago I learned the one of the national symbols of Georgia is the butt plug: Questionable emblems aside, Georgia is a beautiful country.
You're a madlad. Good luck and be sure to keep us up too date. Are you only going to do the current available kit or wait for the army builder and the other kits too?
@William Redford there are photos out of mantics new plastics. Are you thinking of a direct comparison? Because I will get that for you as soon as both of them are available.
@Mark Dewis that is actually my hopeful intent. To sponsor a big game at a few convention's as a form of advertising (I'm a retailer and carry WGA kits) with a full legio in a solid color scheme, f...
A noble ambition. Display aside, Ancient battles were often small enough for this to be a practical thing. You could game a full legion against another one, or a suitable number of barbarians...
I also have a partial century of Comitatenses infantry painted
establishing an outpost 1:1 scale, 1100 miniature + auxiliaries roman legion project.
@Alessio De Carolis thanks for the kind words. Modern webbbing comes in a lot of shades, including camo in some cases. In this case it's science fiction, so I have a bit of latitude. Might e...
I'm a bit surprised about some of the part placement. It's possible this isn't the final layout. In particular we have four BFGs to three bodies. It would seem to make more sense to me that ...
@Steven StGeorges Berets were worn in WW2. Those heads would be fine for that era (and later).
@Mark Dewis and a pity Nick Lund did stop sculpting minis...
While performing my weekly mundane inspection of neighbourhood waste bins, I recovered a couple of tower fans, an pedestal fan, three alarm clocks and an old dvd player and put them aside in order ...
Clever. The WW2 looking Ogre heads (GI helmets and berets) will become useful trade items for people who might be doing projects of that era that involve fantasy or mad science elements. Or who wan...
@Geoff Maybury I will get a box either way, but I want to see how mantic's look. If I don't like mantic's then I will get the 3 boxes of WA
Could be tempted by these they do look good.@William Redford
@Red Bee Love em Red Bee, Truly "But I feel dizzy my head is spinning " why am I singing "I`m lossing control" Oh the rooms ssssssssppppping aaaaaahahhhh. Sorrry toooott mmmuch ASSSIDDDD.&nbs...
@William Redford I`ve been on the side reading this with a bigger and bigger smile developing, it`s been a lovely read guys Bill great collection, whats with this shame buisness guys, it`s a "Strat...
Very bright. Let's just change the heads (Tschakos, Mützen or Stahlhelme), weapons (MP 35 or 38, K.98k, P08 or P38) and colour of the uniforms, and we can have members of the Ordnungs or Schu...
I strongly support you, Dewis Jauna. Slouch hats and "lemon squeezer" (or trooper) hats would be welcome in the figurine world. There would be so many possibilities* ! *ie. : Australians, "Kiwis",...
@Atlas Allen-Manning Great minds think alike ;) Nice miniatures but they don't really fit the style I am going for. @Steven StGeorges Nice 👌 @Mark Dewis That is possibility indeed, I do kee...
@Red Bee Ha... from what I have heard of the spiders... yikes. Thats all you had to say! :)
@William Redford I fully understand. I have wanted an army of satyrs for ages, but I think I'd rather build two or three boxes of Spiders rather than finish the box of Fauns I have in my Pile of Pr...
@Red Bee I have wanted to get some of the fauns for a while but always talk myself out of it.
I got a box of the Fauns. I think they were a bit of a mixed bag. The limbs are very spindly, which made gluing a pain, and kit bashing a bit more limited, but there is a pretty good variety of bit...
Drowned Earth are doing a new range for the game,Large Dinos, as a center piece for each factor, The first shown is for the Artefacters. It will serves as a mobile camp, + research center,all store...
I like the full extra sprue... but am now worried about how many figues will be in a box. If its 12 figues. That is 4 body frames so how many weapon frames? and if its 3 body frames (9 figures) the...
@GreenScorpion DF Ogre heads looks like WW2/middle Cold War GIs (still wondering about those ones with beret... Vietnam Green Berets?).. so it could explain the clearly low-tech weapons depi...
@JTam Capitaine Conan is the second WWI Bertrand Tavernier ever directed, the first was La Vie est rien d'autre (1989), more a post-war with the story of the Unknown Soldier as a backgr...
@William Redford Indeed, all of RGD releases are available on their website: https://rgdgaming.com/en-ca/collections/all Hope Minotaurs are going to be available soon... I do enjoy their s...
The preview is up for the ogres:https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/landsknecht-ogres-preview The Death Field weapons are more modern than sci-fi which is a shame, but at least they are not ...
@Mark Dewis Good work, as I said in another post Stargrave's arms are very good for conversions, pity that they don't make a separate weapons' sprue. P.s. for webbing I normally use Vallejio's MC ...
Logically plastic kits are very costly to make, and WWI's aren't so "glamorous" as WWII's ones. The producers will always make models that will sell well, ipotethically one could try with paper mod...
@GreenScorpion I dont know. One of those "wars" was with a sort of WA employee but he said he was not speaking on behalf of WA only himself... and with no announcement of the sets by WA (like they ...
@William Redford On the ogres I am still waiting to see what comes out in terms of final parts, since things have often changed during the process. There are several options for bodies out th...
Puppets War has some some Gray Alien heads too ...
The more I look at these guys, the more I think "Cops". Baseball caps and some some peaked caps from the Bulldogs. Full tactical helmets for the SWAT guys. Hand swap in Glocks and such. I've got ...
I swapped out the arms on the leader: The Cannon Fodder left arm I used was a little skinny, so I beefed it up and added an elbow pad with putty. They've moved into painting now. I'll try to ...
@Geoff Maybury I always thought they had potential from the sprue images. it's 90% the strange shoulder pads on the arms, although pith helmets ALWAYS make heads look strangely proportioned and tha...
Yeah. I'd say your best hope from WGA is likely in the Mutiny range. There *might* be head-and-kukri options in WW1-2 sprues, though I suspect the Sikhs and Australians might get preference. ...
@William Ings I would really like ravens swarms + big raven with mount options and raven themed guys, similar to lotr last aliance numenoran with mounting option. 1x Slightly bigger raven in sprue ...
@GreenScorpion the big part was originally the Amazon and Scythian were going to be seperate boxes but RGD didn't think they would reach the funding level to reach both. So they then changed i...
@William Redford I recall there had been some changes to the offer in that kickstarter, but I hadn't realized that it was such a big change. You seem to have several interesting projects goi...
@Mark Dewis yeah, I like the cannon fodder 2 heads. I wish there were more heads with out helmets. Those heads will be used with my barbarians 2 when they arrive.
@GreenScorpion no.. no plans. In my defense the Kickstarter started at 3 boxes for $60. Reasonable... but then promises were made (to entice new backers) and the amount we were getting for tha...
@William Redford The bodies seem really nice, but if the arms are similar to the fauns and centaurs then I guess thin and fragile would be the best way to describe them. Those amazons d...
@Mark Dewis Great find,dam good article, love the officers biger cough, cough. and that Devils for fighting, sumed up nicely by todays infantry ,man saying no issues at 5` 3". Loved it like y...
That's our William - redeeming dodgy parts like the champion he is! WGA is starting to give Statuesque a run for its money as far as female heads go, though. The Cannon Fodder II ladie...
