@Brian Van De Walker  Original post details the differences between "German" and "Hungarian" Austrian Infantry and how Perry and Victrix only make "German" Austrian Infantry.

@JTam Actually Victrix already does Austrians, as does perrys. So its not really that big a gap and the only issue with them is they are all marching pose sets.

Oh, prices vary on ebay, Amazon, etc. from merchant to merchant. Likewise some merchants maybe part of a larger group either testing new products sale ability or dealing with overstock orders, so s...

@Magnus Guild  I think kaskett wearing heads would make the miniatures suitable for the French Revolutionry period.  I'm sure there must have been some uniform detail changes but the jac...

@Steven StGeorges  No Mecano?  Why not?  I know nothing about them.  I do remember this song from the mid 90a in Germany... But it may or may not have been this version on the ...

@Magnus Guild  Good Stuff!  Appreciate the advice. Please post your Gringo 40s unit if you get a chance.  Would love to see them.

@Yronimos Whateley  Still glad to meet another Orphaned Land fan ... 😁

@Geoff Maybury  Metric over Imperial, good old question still alive and kicking over here -with the addition of the former French Royal System close fo UK Imperial. I was born in a country wh...

@JTam  No no no Mecano allowed... 😅 Regarding Retrowave... no a big big fan of Gunship but Carpenter Brut, Perturbator to name a few.  I do prefer the Midnight's Nocturnal. https://ww...

 Amen, yes to that and  while ww are about how about some from the French Revolutionary period,both Austrian and Hungarian. A potential army builder?  Grenzers also welcome.

 A brief amendment to the above: heighten the helmet with furry aventail with modelling medium of choice. When dry: paint it red and you have a Bashkir ready to go(paint the rest of the figure...

@Caratacus I tailored this idea for current set size WA politics. For smaller boxes they could cast as easy to break on 2 or 4 parts frame. Or in case of scrabs, be a frame with bigger scrabs for s...

  Congratulations, on discussing on producing- a Bashkir, equally valid for the Napoleonic  Wars.  The Gringo 40s are beautiful figures anf I, indeed, have a unit of them. The Firefo...

To me at least, they look good for general fantasy purposes as any kind of "Great Southern (Mediterranean) Empire" type thing. Like i could imagine those guys, though perhaps with different helms ...

@H M haven't seen ep 4 yet. But visually ep 3 was good.  as far as minis. I can see the appeal. I would likely buy a box. Who is the target for this? Is it just lotr players? Merp rolepl...

@Alessio De Carolis  No doubt.  There's significant danger of fratricide among well trained troops under good conditions.  With partisans fighting in desperate conditions wearing ca...

@Caratacus I feel like there is good design space to offer "light/medium" (except not really) infantry in the style of the Jackson trilogy Numenoreans, and "heavy" infantry in the style of the Amaz...

@Rondaros A'terac  Makes sense.

I would prefer sculpted but decals might work.

Archon has been linked to Prodos, a company in the past with a less than sterling reputation. However, it seems Archon has learned from the Prodos mistakes. 

Both the kingdom of Arnor and Gondor were originated by Numenor, so at least for their early years, the troops could pass for either. Naturally a plastic multi-pose boxed set could be very useful f...

With captured germans' uniforms surely there was the danger of (not so) "friendly fire"!  

It is always time for that. 😊 Most people I know of are converting Victrix Norman Kits to have Numenoreans, with great success, so a dedicated kit for a "high human" realm would probably be very s...

@JTam decals would be better than having to paint them... At least for me. 

@JTam exactly. You can see it in a lot of Republican Spanish, French Resistance and Italian Resistance fighters.

@Blutze My idea to deal with 40 vs 25mm bases is to make swarm parts so they can be glued as bigger or smaller groups to fit both sizes, plus it adds more random look or they can be used as terrain...

Certainly a good idea for a multitude of game systems and factions, though personally I'd say it would be better to have a smaller, cheaper box of each swarm type, so that someone specifically look...

I have no interest in Amazon's wokefest TV show, but some Numenorean-style humans would be a great idea given the only GW models are four slightly-different monoposes packed in with a load of equal...

@Grumpy Gnome  Archon is a new kid on the block isn't?  They have some nice terrain.. and a decent price point.

@Davy Jones  Was not familiar with this troop type.  Appreciate the post and pics.   The Balkans is an exotic place.  Really like the distinctive shields.

Out of curiosity what's your take on trouser braid/knots? Some miniatures mold the detail on, some don't. I wonder if little decals would work?

@Grumpy Gnome @Vitor Soares  Thank You. I think it would be a really cool kit that actually covers a real (and significant) gap.

It might be worth pouncing on making some 'Not-Numenoreans' depending on how people feel about Amazons LoTR show by the end of it's season. So far I've seen mixed opinions about the quality of the ...

Some good bats would be welcome. Maybe some flying swarms incorporated into this idea/kit: Creatures of the Night Box Kind of like this classic... But taken to Eleven....

@Vitor Soares Good point. The AK helped themselves to entire warehouse worth of German kit right at the start of the Warsaw Uprising if I remember correctly....  

Italian wars/Battle for the balkans(WIP name): stradiots/eastern european light cavalry This kit will be useful to portray the famous and iconic light cavalrymen of the balkans and eastern europe...

Something that strikes me whenever I look at swarm minis on offer and compare them to what I need, is that apparently most fantasy wargames run them as a 40mm square base per "creature", whereas in...

Well we are talking rides. Heh. Actually... @Hudson Adams could you take care of that spam link further upthread? I guess we shouldn't have spammed it out so quickly, leaving it as the last post...

Box for swarms of flying animals, for example: - one or two swarm parts for ravens xor crows and two single of those birds - two or three swarm parts for bats and two or three single of them (pro...

@Geoff Maybury I would gladly send them but, in my recent experience, sending anything to Albion is nigh impossible. I tried to send some wine to my compadre and a book to my god daughter, for her...

@Geoff Maybury I guess it's always a "grass is greener" thing. Other than crabs nothing really stands out food wise. But I guess that's all relative. We are like 1.5 hours from Philly, thst ha...

@Viking Cowboy I tried to find some as who doesn't like discounts, but I am still seeing the $35+ on pike and shotte. Maybe I am searching wrong.

@Mark Dewis Last 3 are my favorite Ithink you nailed them pose wise and the tack.

@Blutze  Every bloody rider in the Drowned Earth is molded on his beast what plonkers . I thought that stoped after the Rifts metals way back. No figures for me I`ll make me own, one of the pl...

@Mark Dewis Well we are talking rides.

It`s only, my extraders brain , but I think selling power is in effect, the pike and shot, never sold the volume, of fiction or WW2. Also at times it was better discounted, particulary against say,...

@JTam @Grumpy Gnome I`d love to see correct scale brick work sheets, like plastic card but say1/8" thick,then some concret sheets same. Roof tyling, and windows, doors and wooden sheets that would ...

I think some or most of them should be wearing pants and overalls, so I can use them as Spanish Republican Milícias. 😊 Re using parts of uniforms was standard for partisans, so I have no pr...

@JTam really nice presentation, as usual. Some really cool units.
