closeup of the heads
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...
This is an interesting article, too: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31023270 Recruitment minimum height of 5' 3" was increased to 5' 6" (average male height of the time) in September 1914 in a...
@Geoff Maybury I take the point, but relative height depends a lot on era. The average British soldier in the 19th C was about 5'5", only a couple of inches taller than an average Gurkha at 5'3". I...
@William Redford So quite a good deal 😁 I am waiting anxiously for your next creations, keep going Guillermo el Estajanovisto. 👍
@Steven StGeorges a ton...:) but it was another Kickstarter thing where I got 10, 12? Boxes of the infantry and 4 boxes of cavalry. The infantry came with enough weapons to equip all with eith...
@William Redford Indeed Statuesque heads are a must-have.. only need some Valkir bodies to replicate a Sister of Battle conversion seen on dakkadakka some years back. Mmm regarding Fi...
Thread made me think of the Heroscape gorillantors.
The Amazon bodies are nice. I am not thrilled with the heads or weapons. But... they look nice with statuesque heads and Fireforge weapons...
@Mark Dewis Not to be taken as an insult, as these guys are larger than life, but i think they are smaller in stature on average, as in Rubicons Marine and Vietcong. So althought their are some ver...
My good fellows, To Don Williams : The conversion is very pleasant and pretty well done. Moreover, bare feet are not a real problem for ancient civilizations, by good weather, on a soft or slipper...
Solid idea. And a REALLY easy painting stage 😁 Frostgrave temple dog minis aside, you may find some small enough but cheaper online from Chinese charm jewellery makers, or craft shops, or New Age ...
@William Redford And you just added another level to the Pile of Shame... the Basement. Next step is ordering some Billy shelves from Ikea... and assembling them 😅 Oh my... FG & SG stuf...
I play Oathmark a lot and it sounds like a great idea and also a good army list .
@Grumpy Gnome granted, I am no expert, and you could shoot it either way. But here, it is in the Physical Education curriculum, and they always teach it with the arrow on the inside Either w...
@Steven StGeorges I had the Dwarves and those were an excellent design. (Mine went towards a Mordheim gang). Still have a few of the heads and weapons. I had the Orcs too, and those were NOT suc...
I think whether done as historical or Death Fields, Ghurkas are best done as an expansion sprue since they really just need heads and Kukri to distinguish them from British troops, as the above pic...
@Steven StGeorges ... um... the basement. But not sure in what context yet. I am not sure what I will be using these for. I am contemplating a fantasy army using firforge bits and Scythians. But I ...
@William Redford Thanks for the DD link... and .. mmm... where are you going to store all those 600+ new minis by the way? 😅
@Steven StGeorges HA! yeah... just got to make sure my wife doesnt find out... Anyway, I assembled some. Link to a post where I posted some pics on Dakka Its easier to post multiple pics on Dakka,...
@JTam Most of Jon's observations are quite relevant and I think he's talking about some reenactment at the Fort during commemoration of Battle of Verdun. As I said above a lot o...
@William Redford "600+ minis... don't know what I was thinking." You do deserve the title of Miniature Stakhanovite of the year regarding your past doings and upcoming ones 😁 Now com...
My goodies arrived. 14 boxes. 7 amazons, 6 Scythians and 1 Satyr. Won't get a chance to really dive in until this weekend but will assemble a couple after work. 600+ minis... don't know what I was ...
@Mark Dewis For sure, Plastic tooling was super expensive but look at the very first hard plastic minis GW ever designed: Psychostyrene Dwarves and Drastik Plastik Orcs, then 1987 WFB regime...

@JTam Very nice job they`ve made there.
@JTam Very nice those would sell. Nice to paint great to see.
@Mark Dewis Sorry Mark me to I`m afraid. Love the top shots, god I never brought the "Bulldogs" I`d so looked forward to them, untill that "Heroic scale". Your conversions make them worthy of...
