I would also add that there are a LOT of Dark Age kits out there already. WGA, Victrix, Gripping Beast and more.

Oathmark Human Infantry have some potential that way:

@JTam Well, two months of that was the delay that everyone suffered when they relocated their operation from China to the US. But the US warehouse was stocked by June and the UK one by July. It's j...

Hi Mark yes it's been a bit frustrating as it's taken a while to get space to get them there. We were bumped a few times but the second flight is booked in for this weekend hence moving it back a b...

Yea dark age generic bodies similar to the wga goths would fit well with the contents of my bits box.Perhaps jazz them up abit with the odd vests/jackets/robes/tabards one might wear as an alternat...

Five months?  Frustration justified.

Shipment today from Black Pyramid Gaming! Black Pyramid Gaming is in the UK, and I am in 'Merica!  But the ordering was uneventful and the shipping speed good.  Moreover, the shipping ...

I've got some good shots of the Musée de l'Armée and the Imperial War Museum from 2019. Also from the battlefield tour in Flanders.  I'll try to upload trhem on the weekend.

Just got to get this off my chest. But the time for shipping from the Australian warehouse keeps being put back and back and back. I've had and paid for Boxers and Bulldogs on preorder since March,...

@Brian Van De Walker Ugh those starship troopers bugs :(Used to be a licenced game with those as a plastic sprue kit a long time ago. Hesitating until they blew out of my pricerange is probably my ...

This one supports the club idea as well:   This, and the earlier painting appear to be depictions of the Battle of Turin 312AD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Turin_(312) Note t...

Brian,go look at a praying mantis. It walks on four legs and the other two legs are adapted to catch its prey. But still six legs making it an insect. And I will keep moaning if I choose to! 😡

@Brian Van De Walker first of all, I honestly really liked your answer. Thank you for such a complete answer. My ideia (proposal) is very simple. Some bodies with tunics, just like the ones in the...

@Mark Dewis Actually I think @Hudson Adams answer that the knoby thing was a club is right (in a massive part because he know the research put into this set, but it also sounds like a weapon adapti...

@Vitor Soares@William Redford  Actually, “historical proportion” female sets for things like "Dark Age working women" and/or fantasy kits might be the smarter route for female min...

@PEter GIlham 🙄those are arms or if you must be specific some sort of evolved mandibles, not legs and they never walk on them😒.  In the case of space bugs and arthropod multipart models in ...

Did it.

@Mark Dewis Most Gundam kits are 1/144 (at least that is how they are sold here in the States), still can work. Even seen some Ork Kitbashs. Edit: But I really would look at the MODEROID 1/35 OBSO...

@Vitor Soares Actually I would say it’s mostly just an Anglo Sphere people problem. Particularly Americans and British whose only real window into foreign cultures is Hollywood and whose mai...

I found an Australian stockist for Pocket Titans, who have them on discount: https://www.mrtoys.com.au/our-offers/hot-clearance-specials/pocket-titans-series-1-assorted-42647.html AUD$12 each and...

Checked the poll results today.  Was genuinely surprised by the strong showing of the Hungarian cavalry.  Interesting.

These came in today: Quite pleased with them.  Will use them for clue markers.   For scale: Also saw this "storage book" at Hobby Lobby the other day: Just about perfect ...

Fun!

Having pretty much EVERY component on a seperate sprue cannot have been very efficient in terms of mold layout. Unless maybe the initial production had particularly small equipment? In any case, ma...

Or, this: http://erminestreetguard.co.uk/optio.html Optio's staff with silver ball? 

The wikipedia does mention the version with a knob, and suggests that was the more common form.

Salut à tous, As I am (sometimes) French, I allow myself to react to the first photo. Objectively, it is difficult to identify exactly the rounded headgear worn by the two men. All black A...

Vine stick for centurion and a club used by legionaries against cataphracts among other things. 

Dust Tactics has some neat walkers you might like. The company went under, and you can usually find them pretty cheap.

My take on a couple of points here. #1: Courage for me is mostly knowing what you're facing, and doing it anyway.  I'm not really sure that applies to the average conquistador. Blundering int...

I agree with Mark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine_staff

I'm converting mantic halflings with Wargames Atlantic parts. Mainly from Les grognards  

I was a bit disappointed with the lady gunslingers, especially the heads. But they aren't that expensive, are standard 28mm scale and do have a lot of useful parts. Head swaps from other kits go a ...

Yeah... I'd have thought you could get the same effect with plastic rod for much less risk to fingers.

The wand is a command baton of some sort, I think:

Some random thoughts generated by the POW pictures. 1.  It's conventional wisdom that one should ditch your helmet if you're trying to surrender.  The first few minutes at the point of c...

Can anyone help me identify what these objects are? They both are on the Late Romans sprue.      

That weapon looks great! I would mention that spade grips and bipods are two great flavors that GENERALLY don't go great together.

After completing the survey you get a discount voucher and some free downloadable articles:

@Mark Dewis yeah I remember on the old wgf forum, the reasoning for the amazons was so they could sell sprues easier. But they probably realized the profit vs effort was not worth it. Or the a...

@William Redford on the other hand, if we want a head sprue and a body sprue, it would make sense to design and market those together. Maybe as two frames with the frames also sold seperately? On ...

Would love this. "Modern civilians" is still pretty much only covered by the old WGF Apocalypse Survivor kits that can still be gotten from Warlord (but you need to search the website. Project Z ha...

@JTam  Always a pleasure my friend ... while I must confess I am still amazed when looking at Napoleon's funerary rotunda, quite an impressive architectural work of art. Vigipirate had been ...

I'd love some generic bodies for NPCs, hostages, etc. I keep looking, but so far, nothing has hit the right spot.

@Vitor Soares Yeah, I would buy these.  I would want something like the old WF Numidians. something that would not look out of place with different time periods heads or weapons. A female set...

As the title sugests, I would like to keep this suggestion in our colective minds. A box just with simple male and female generic bodies would be a great deal. Most of us have a ton of spare parts...

@Paul Cziganj  Looking forward to it.  As you may have noticed in that other thread ;) the WW2 Soviet Army is of deep interest to me....

@Steven StGeorges  Great pics.  Thanks.  That is how a SOLDIER'S tomb should look.   Why was the facility at Vagpirate Red?
