you could easily do a whole sprue of animal head swaps.. felines, canines, birds..

it seems ot me that you could get a fair degree of customizability between trooper, recon, command, support, etc style suits by using a system similar to the warhammer 40K Tau battlesuits. have mos...
Oh man, there's so many great rule sets out there, I don't even know. Planet 28 and Stargrave are great, I've never played Rogue Planet, but want to give it a try. I almost never use the min...
Im not sure how I fall on it. On one hand, as I like building big units anything that reduces the troops in a box is not to my liking. On the otherhand more options are always good, and it means i ...
@Caratacus You positive on that? cause almost every time I think Warlord actually did their own sculpting on something it turns out it was someone else sculpts early and Warlord got the molding ri...
@JTam Could also do them as another "fantasy with DF parts kits". There have been quite few people asking cat themed fantasy beastmen.
I was thinking the Emirates of Hacan from Twilight Imperium.
@William Redford Not really a deal breaker for me, but if it was like the French infantry set (35 bodies on 5 sprues with 6 normal and one officer for a total 7 bodies per sprue) would actually be ...
@Stephen Rodgers If we are just talking boxart why not either both or a combination of blue and orange alongside a picture with a wide range of fantasy skin colors. @William Ings That would probab...
@JTam I think there would be space for lions and tiger heads in one kit, maybe gas masks as well. This guy is from League of Legends which would make a cool war game (Arcana on Netflix is based ...
@William Redford That's really nice. Thanks. I haven't been to the Black Scorpion website in quite a while.
@fodzilla What!?! That's worse than UK postage to the USA. Er, Sorry?
Sure I have a pic of both Perry's a Africa Corps and a WA Partisain next to a 1/56 plastic tank Warlord sells: Them next to a kitbash tank/tankette (Warlord's plastic Universal carrier is the ba...
@John Wilson sounds about right. I'm all for things like the webbed victims in the spider kit, and the egg sacks here; PERFECT for objectives!
Rules wise: stargrave, 5 parsecs from home, Xenos Rampant (Nov 2022), rogue stars, planet 28 Species: fish/piscean, dolphin/whale, wolf, winged dinosaur (pterasaur), big-eyed bushbaby, ape/monkey ...
@William Redford Tigers would have more cross over appeal: (Kzin) ..... (Kzinti)
I really don't get the fuss over the end of the weapon. You have to drill the barrels on every other mini ever made. The rectangle shape looks futuristic. Barrels ha...
@Alexander Mars I mean that's cool and interesting. Who would the target audience be for these? Rpgs? Or are there other table top games that these could be used for. I don't really pla...
I'm just going to share my personal opinion up front here, I am so tired of 40k proxy miniatures. I know a lot of people see Death Fields and immediately think IG proxy, and I can see that, but I a...
@JTam yeah locally it's similar, and postage from the UK works out at the sprue level. US though, for whatever reason... 😬
Valkir are simply the best sci-fi "knight" miniatures I've ever seen, I got my hands on a single DF Valkir model in a random bag of eBay bits, and have been hunting for more ever since. If a...
@Benjamin Hayward From a conversation on the facebook legion page, It seems the top may be smaller bugs (like the small spiders on the spiders sprue), bottom may be egg sacks and we have mele...
I think it might be Aliens:
"Bugs, Mr. Rico, $35 worth of 'em!" Looks like the giant spiders are about to get some back-up!
@JTam have you seen this mini from Black Scorpion? Imperial Captain
@fodzilla You're right. I had completely forgotten the new Krieg one was the same/similar style. What you say about shipping costs makes sense. Even here in the States I usually end ...
@Grumpy Gnome because that's not the design.
@Jayme Shaker Hi, most pictures of this project are gone and blown in the wind... but you can look here... at site 2 are a few images from that jet... https://www.tabletopwelt.de/ind...
@JTam Front right body looks like Frostgrave Soldiers
@JTam nice - looks like the Krieg one but not mid-reload. Unfortunately I'm down the backside of the world so my bits selection is a bit limited without shipping getting unjustifiable. If I do go f...
@Daniel Broaddus Where's the front right body from? And the left rear guy's tricorn? Thanks!
@Daniel Broaddus That team looks great. Really well done. I wouldn't have thought to use Grognards for Silver Bullet. But sure enough they look like an awesome French Napol...
New lore update, art, and size comparisons: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/06/30/lore-of-the-votann-the-anatomy-of-the-kin/ Dwarfed by a Primaris..... but then again so are humans. ...
@fodzilla The short barrel grenade launcher conversion looks pretty good. How many more grenade launchers do you need? The new Traitor Guard kit has a neat, smaller, take on the...
@Benjamin Hayward Got around to watching GI Joe: Retaliation. Entertaining. Shame Magic Mike was only in the film for a short while. Also, I love Titus Pullo as much as t...
@Caratacus Well stated. Well reasoned.
@Bonk they're one of those secret ones we just pop out with. There are quite a few of those coming along this year. ;-)
@William Redford Price is an issue we prefare the old cheeper cinema`s, they are quiter and most important, more comfortable. That being our priority issue over every thing. If Eileen and myself, t...
I like others agree with the @Grumpy Gnome, a Command Sprue with one or two 'hero' bodies and some different head and weapon options on it, as per the Gripping Beast Saxon and Viking sets and Warlo...
@Hudson Adams I couldn't find these on the release schedule. Can you give a rough estimate how long I have to clear my backlog and make room for the unholy amounts of boxes i'm gonna buy of these? :D
@Tim Dilbert Its the nickname given to power armour in the book.
Here's what I have to hand - Perry historic and WA WW1/2: I find Perry to generally be a touch slighter, with the feet particularly posed closer together, but not smaller per se.
I can actually read so I know you said Citadel paints. But if you want a guide to painting what I presume to be the inspiration for the Grognard's scheme in Vallejo paints.... here it is: ...
Besides hair, I'm sure there's people out there with the talent to turn the bald heads into various legally protected sci-fi "aliens" that are just humans in make-up.
@Mark Dewis That's a good point. But leader and troops looking very similar in history (at least until the the second half of the 20th century) or fantasy is RELATIVELY rare. Many historic...
With fantasy, or even historical kits where leaders are essentially wearing the same armour or clothing as the troops it's better to just add some bling options and make it one sprue. A few leader ...
From the look of it those have been painted black and then blue as highlights. Try Black -> McCragge ->MCragge with a touch of white.
What is an Ape Suit?
