@OrlandotheTechnicoloured I think you may be in luck. Last weeks sneak peak:
@Mark Dewis Sure they both have their pros and cons. (And if you think halberds look cooler that counts as a valid pro.) I just really like the near auto delete of the strength 6 hits...
@Mark Dewis I hope you get chance to give it a try. It's light hearted fun.

@Geoff Maybury I think they coined them Dinosauroids. https://unbelievable-facts.com/2015/08/dinosauroids.html
Was cruising the Westfalia website Thanks to @William Redford and saw this: It's the Tiger King!
@Grumpy Gnome I really enjoyed "1612." I just rummaged around for my copy and couldn't find it.... maybe at the Mother in Laws? Annoying. Anyway, a good historical film wit...
@Mark Dewis German cavalry was active throughout the war on the Eastern front. Great opponents for the upcoming WGA WW1 Russian Infantry kit.
The thing with "monster mounts" like raptors is more that if they are useful as models in their own right, selling boxes of them on their own makes sense. For the cavalry side of things, unless yo...
I still have high hopes for a WW1 German Cavalry kit. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/51683/german-cavalry Adding some Death Fields parts like exploding lances and cyborg ...
@William Redford That would certainly work. I probably wouldn't call them upgrade sprues per say. I would call them "Grognard Cavalry," "Raumjager Riders," etc. Beca...
@JTam Don't forget those S6 attacks are wounding T4 on 2+ anyway. Against almost all troops (who are T3 or T4), Ogres with halberds will do better than ones with 2H weapons. So it's not a silly cho...
You could always have a small selection of basic legs with pants & boots, or light armour (greaves and knee cops). Add in a couple of futuristic armoured options and you could cover most humano...
Plenty of histoical examples of ladies cross dressing to fight, but as many from comic fiction. Crossdressing is a staple of Shakespeare, as well as Opera. And operas based on Shakespeare 😉 I'll d...
@Geoff Maybury my proposed bikini ladies plus spare lizardman heads gets you that 😉
@JTam from the upgrade sprues! :) but yeah. Its pretty much the idea of the hourse in the General Accoutrements. But with the idea that riders would come, Just not the need for a full box of 1 type...
@Brian Van De Walker yeah, I think we're on the same page, but just mixing up our terminology. Obviously we differ about our "barbarian" tastes. But I think the Frostgrave kit does zero in o...
The problem with mounts alone is where do you get the legs for your riders of choice?
@William Redford Cheesy answer... but a hybrid course of action would probably be best. Initial kit should have riders of some sort. But the riders should come in two piec...
@Mark Dewis The Irishg were the first full WA kit i got. (I got haflings first, but just a free sprue from the Survey thing a couple year back). Now I have: Irish Aztecs Haflings Cannon ...
Mark Copplestone is my current favorite sculptor. He really gets what needs to be ruggedised and what can be kept in scale with 28mm metal. And such clean lines!
Cross-compatibility between mounts and rider legs would be ideal. We already have goblins that can ride spiders, and may well be able to ride the raptors. Has anyone tested the goblins on th...
@Steven StGeorges I imagine accessory sprues must be something that's difficult to design. A full kit has a marketing identity and a target demographic, but an accessory sprue has to be something t...
@Steven StGeorges minis from from Northstar and Coppelstone were some of my regular buys and absolute favorites, until last year, of course. Not what we are talking about here, but I love, love, l...
+1 'Cause of Mister JTam, we are all now wishing for a multi-genre Polish Winged Hussard box.. so riderless exotic mounts will be more than interesting (as separate sprue or even as a box) in orde...
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy "Ah Noir Désir" ... I do remember when Bertrand Cantat was walking around with his friends on Rue Sainte Catherine when still almost unknown excepted for the local...
We know that Raptor cavalry are planned. Do you think it would be better if the initial release was just riderless raptors and then "upgrade sprues" could be released to add riders from different f...
I was so young ! Manowar... The Triumph of Steel, 1992 : Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in 8 Parts, Spirit Horse of the Cherokee, The Demon's Whip and Master of the Wind (very good ballad). I've seen...
@Steven StGeorges that would be cool. I wonder if they are still considering the addon sprues. I'm curious as to how well the first one sold.
@Blutze I'm not sure? :) I've never actually played ogres... I did buy the last start collecting box... which was for AOS or at least branded as such. So I am guessing they are. Honestly I was...
Regarding the Weapon question... mayhaps -I just say mayhaps- WGA could release, as part of her General Accoutrements, additional sprues of optional guns, special weapons and other goodies for DF a...
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Manowar... wow didn't hear that name for about... 40 years. They were quite popular with Yngwie Malmsteen amongst my friends during high school... while I was still loyal...
I definitely like the look of this more than I did the render; to my eye the cloth below the hip-straps looks much more like part of a single contiguous garment that it did in super-high resolution...
@Vitor Soares ... rules were a mess, but minis were awesome, thanks to Coppelstone.
@Steven StGeorges could not agree more. Rogue stars is one of the few rule sets I regret buying.
@Vitor Soares Indeed my good friend... unlike Rogue Stars for instance, quite a major disappointment.
@JTam Eiffel 65.. oh my!.. Carla Bruni. 😅 I am fond of music since ... my childhood so the late 60s thanks to my elder brother. So I am listening to mostly everything excepted for FM trash,...
Eh, on one hand, these 3D printed soldiers are great and give you lots of options, but on the other hand, they're excessively flimsy: even in foam trays, they often break (especially their guns). ...
Are mournfang even actual Warhammer stuff? I should probably hunt down some more 8th edition pdfs, just for conversational reasons. And maybe for the crafting/painting sections. That one is sadly m...
Chuck Berry (Johnny B. Goode) With this one, like so many other covers, I prefer the version I got used to first. Judas Priest's, in this case. An exception are Knorkator's and JBO's covers, but...
Kitbashing Dragons/Chasseurs Portés would yield better results by mixing French heads, arms and guns with the bodies of the WW1 German kit. The D/CP uniforms didn't have prominent pockets li...
Speaking of WW1 Russians/WW2 Soviets, apart from the officer figure, the WW1 Russians could also do great as WW2 Soviets in M43 uniforms, the ones with the shoulder boards. You just have to use WW2...
Funny topic, JTam jauna (Mr JTam)... I'm now 50 years old. And "Sad but True", the fact is that "we're all living in Amerika" (Wunderbar, nicht wahr ?). For me, it's Metal on the beaches (Bathory...
@Grumpy Gnome If being done totaly realistic ,yes please mixed box with young. Though I would love to see a set of female Dino /Human, half beasts. Way back some scientist chap, built alife s...
@Steven StGeorges one of the best rule sets ever. In my humble opinion.
@Vitor Soares Totally forgot to order The Men who would be Kings... thanks for the reminder.👍
@Brian Van De Walker There are some tribals, either male and female, on Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago but there's only a male plastic set (for now)
On my Stargrave troopers normally I add shoulder pads made from GS, they give them a more "hard sci-fi" look
