"Beastfolk" is probably a good name for these. And I'm not sure anyone is really doing them in cheaper plastic. Frostgrave has the Gnolls, but those have very distictly Hyena heads. I would ...
I have to admit I hadn't taken in that there are 10 wolfhounds in the kit. I reckon I'll pick a box up at some point - I've probably got enough "Dark" Age minis really, but these do add variety and...
Defiance games folded before the Power Armor figures got much further than a WIP early 3D art file. and the original artwork was by flyingdebris, so you may want to direct inqueries about that to h...
So if the kit included Death Fields sci fi parts like cyborg horse heads and explosive lance tips.... And if the "lobster" thigh armor was part of the torso and not the legs......  ...
the more lightly armoured pancerni would also double as kossack and tatar noble cavalry.
@Davy Jones And a couple of those baller fur hats:
a good mix a plate, scale, chain or segmented mail would be good, as well as helmets.
winged lancers or winged hussars, doesnt matter, just get the lads with wings.
@Don Williams Thank You. That's a superior review. I believe the author posted a review on the WGA Aztec kit here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/74577/plastic-aztec...
Yeah this was part of one of the polls. I voted for them... I would get a couple boxes. In the Midgard campaign settimg, Zobeck has winged lancers. I would definitely have a place for these.  ...
For anyone considering purchase of the Dark Age Irish Warriors box, this review offers a very thorough look as well as a close up comparison with Gripping Beast plastic figures. You'll see the rang...
@Vitor Soares Same here, always loved the look of that particular unit... could be quite a good addition to any scifi/fantasy or historical collection.
Preview link This is relaunching this month.
I agree, it would probably be a big selling kit, not really for me, but I can see it.
@Grumpy Gnome "On Saturday I'm willing, if you'll only take the shilling, to make a man of any one of you." ... but I do prefer "Dulce et decorum est. Pro patria mori." a poem written ...
@William Redford Did you email Eureka/get a reply yet? I need to email them about this mini: (Miniature painted by Ty Chapman). I can't find it on the website.
A thread for Winged Hussars: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/79751/polish-winged-hussar
@Davy Jones @Blutze There's always a place for more Landsknechts. There's a huge ready made audience Thanks to Warhammer. Even 1/5 of the plastic Landsknechts market is st...
@William Redford You Know Bill, we think quite alike, with our RPG`s and figures, it certainly would be nice to see some Moreau`s around,they are in my D-20 Modern RPG. I`ve only scratched a ...
@Andreas Mayrhofer You were in the Heer? What time frame?
@Andreas Mayrhofer The weathering on the gunship looks really good. Really like the picture of the gunship set down with the troops deploying out of the side door.
@Geoff Maybury Yeah. I would likely buy a box. I can use them in RPGS. From Wild shaped Druids, to awakened animals or animal companions or even as a Proxy for things like Vanara. And by Proxy, I r...
Just recentlly whilst looking at The Drowned Earth, and The Dead Earth, plus a couple of others. I`ve been amazed at the use of "Genectic Animals", for want of a better name Moreau animals, in new ...
@Grumpy Gnome Had my first look at the PDF rules, 85 pages form a 190 Hardback. Not bad, the sad part is the rules are infull and good, but it`s the major fluff thats missing and you`d really like ...
@Grumpy Gnome as a former Infantryman I second that
Modiphus wise, yeah pricing is a problem (along with them being all resin at the moment for me at least) which is why despite being a huge fallout fan I've not bought into Wasteland Warfare. Havin...
@Grumpy Gnome unfortunately, very true. And I come from a family with a lot of people in the military.
Almost every nation only pays lips service to its war veterans. I am sure there must be some nation that takes care of them but I can not think of any off the top of my head. Certainly the US and U...
High price and the 32-35mm scaling is a problem with Modiphius. Fallout gaming is a sure win with the popularity of Fallout and the Post Apoc genre but I think folks want cost efficient 28mm figure...
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy You make some fair points.
@Mark Dewis I am very keen to see your Green Martian conversion!
@Mithril2098 Yeah, if the barrier to entry were lower I could see a tabletop fallout game gaining a much larger following.
Here are various general science fiction projects of mine that I used the original Cannon Fodder kit for, getting their distaff reinforcements:
Battle of Khotyn (1673) Khotyn. Khotyn is located in what in now the Ukraine. I was fortunate enough to visit Khotyn Fortress a few years ago:
Some extra bits in the kit and it might be able to work on Death Fields/Sci Fi too. Maybe some mechanized horse head bits too.
A Polish Winged Hussar kit could pull double duty for fantasy. Warhammer Fantasy Battle Winged Lancers: Gryphon Legion: Particularly with Old World Fantasy Battle Redux on the horizon....
The Polish Winged Hussar is an iconic troop type. Their distinctive look, sheer pageantry, and remarkable combat successes made them a legend. https://www.wearethemighty.com/popular/winged-h...
Three hundred and thirty nine years ago today, the largest cavalry charge in history broke the back of Turkish forces besieging a starving Vienna. At the fore of the charge was Polish Winged ...
@Steven StGeorges Maybe I used the wrong term here: By "AI" I meant the opponent is primarily controlled by rules ala Warhammer Quest. So I'm envisioning a game primarily for solo o...
to be honest, i'd love dinosaur kits. but the question would be how to do them. what dinosaurs, how customizable could you make them, what size of dinos could you fit on a single sprue and how man...
Size comparison with a Brigade Games ""Spanish Rebel Command I" set.
@Grumpy Gnome Some lads would be good there as well. I'm working on convering the Victrix naked fanatics to Barsoomian types. Dammit, we need a sword and raygun booster frame! (However,...
@Mark DewisDewis I live in a volcanic island, so even the construction sand is a nice mix of several sizes, with colors from deep black to light grey. It makes basing a lot easier, let me tell you....
Ultimately, the question for each voter is this: Are you going to use them? I have active use for legendary medieval (King Arthur and Charlemagne), general science fiction (Stargrave, Traveller), V...
@Vitor Soares Yeah. I used to use Spackle, and it's good. I find it a little more fiddly to apply, but it probably dries better, and doesn't shrink. My one complaint with the air dry clay is that i...
