Sneak Peak for 12 AUG 22: Well, this is exciting.  Is WGA getting into the terrain game? Not sure if GW being about to do an entire season of Kill Team set on Space Hulks makes the timing ...

@William Redford  Reference the old Wargames Factory Amazons: I think the kit as a concept has incredible potential.  The execution was just lacking.  They just looked like awkward...

@William Redford  That was a pretty all encompassing list. I wasn't tracking then Malifeux (sp?) female kit at all until your above mentioned thread.  Shame they're all about 8ft tall.....

Oops.. Happy (late) Birthyday Mister

@H M after having actually looked at them, I don't think they're for me, either.

@GreenScorpion September... Hmm. I will have to save some additional moneys then as another kickstarter I am interested in is launching in September. (Dark Maenad) those will be SIOCAST though. 

The new Amazons from the Scythians kickstarter have not delivered yet, but I backed pretty big in that kickstarter so should have a bunch ... at some point in the future...

@William Redford According to the comments (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shieldwolf/war-is-coming-reinforcements/comments) Shieldwolf is relaunching in September, so it might be that those ...

I posted this in the goblin samurai thread, but it probably should be its only thing.  What multipart plastic female minis are there? And what are your thoughts. the mantic basaleans are list...

@H M The Idoneth deepkin female bodies do look like females. Which is good. The Witch elves/  sisters of slaughter are good too. As are the female torsos on the Shadow elves/ sisters of... som...

@Grumpy Gnome  Thanks! I was never stationed / trained at Yakima.  I mostly hear good things about being stationed at Ft Lewis, but I suppose no training area is entertaining. &nbs...

*And that's to say nothing of if you want lady figures more suited to warmer environs than the frozen city!

@Mark Dewis In terms of sheer amounf of dedicated parts, yes - but for me the quality of the female soldiers kit is somewhat lacking, and the models need alot of TLC to get them looking good. the F...

@JTam   Have you ever been to Yakima in Washington? I always wonder how much Afghanistan was like Yakima... and I hated Yakima.  Thanks for sharing the photos though, very interesting!

Still waiting on mine. Come on, Australian warehouse... 😒

RG-31 in Afghanistan circa 2007. RG-31 Nyala - Wikipedia One of the earliest and smallest MRAPs the Army fielded.   Still huge compared to HMMWV though.  This particular one...

@Geoff Maybury  I recently dug out some old Afghanistan pics.  Good memories.  No.  Not really. But I did have some good cat pics to share with you: For those curious...

Found it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144583152044?hash=item21a9d3d1ac:g:01wAAOSws8BimEbu This appears to be the manufacturer's link, but I can't open it at work: https://www.crocodilegames.com/sto...

Frostgrave is currently the best source for female 28mm parts, IMHO. Soldiers II, Wizards II and they're coming up on female Barbarians. It would not surprise me if a distaff version of the Knights...

@William Redford thanks - I've enjoyed packing character into them. Luxury of a small "army"! @JTam Scope is either CF or the DF upgrade sprue, I don't remember. Yes, playing the new Kill Team. I...

Ok, and sorry I brought your birthday thread down with depressing stuff. But i am glad you had an enjoyable Geoffmass holiday! and Many more to come!

@Geoff Maybury oh, and I love your 3 "doggos", Dinky is a fearsome Shepherd. :) We currently have 2 pugs. Zoey and Bimo. Both 17... which is ancient for pugs. 

@Geoff Maybury Yeah. Life has its challenges. I was in Indonesia when President Suharto was overthrown. There were armed groups sweeping the city. They asked hotels to give up any foriegners they h...

@JTam Than you our kid, these shots have been coppied to my growing file, would love a1/56th scale kit. I also took the ordinance cat from the previous file, so like "Dinky" I couldn`t resist. Than...

@William Redford God Bill I can`t imagine how that move was for you both, it shocked us here well away from the reality  and devistation. Sudenelly our world had become smaller and more darker...

@William Redford  I saw that movie.  Although I think it was called Prometheus ;)

@JJ McClure Thats pretty cool. It reminds me of (though not exactly) the movie "The Relic". The RELIC trailer Which was a pretty good movie. The plot being the ancient Incans or Mayans (or Oltec ...

@Geoff Maybury My wife is from Indonesia. there is a big ethnic chinese population which makes up a good portion of the middle class. Which is also why they are kind of hated by your average indone...

I went a different direction with the overall theme and name.   I went with more to the primal zerg/TNG "Identity Crisis" theme rather than go with the GW nids, starship troopers or the A...

@William Redford @JTam @Grumpy Gnome @William Redford @lauregami,thank you all, and if your names not here, its only because the damn page jumps up and down as you try to recall the names, plus we ...

@H M yeah the malifaux kit are giants. But the torsos and heads are good and useful in conversions. 

@William Redford I like those conversions, and think they have potential - but I'm not gonna lie, it's the female torso on the samurai body that really gets my attention. It works way better to my ...

Found this mini the other day: I wonder if one could create a kit that could build mermaids and gorgons via different heads (or hair)  and tail tips (tail fins versus rattle)?

Eureka Miniatures has these:

@fodzilla  Again, these guys look great.  Like all the models William Redford mentioned as well as the box operator. Are you actually playing the new Kill Team?  How do you like it...

@William Redford  Creative conversion!  Never would have thought to use the Cannon Fodder torso. That female Landsknechts is a big girl. Still, it happens.  I worked with a fema...

@Geoff Maybury  Posted some pics of a cool M-ATV MRAP for you: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/53697/museumhistoric-sites-displays-photo-thread?page=2 All The Best!

Oshkosh B'Gosh! The M-ATV. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshkosh_M-ATV The M-ATV is the smallest of the current MRAPs.  Although as you can see it's still huge.  It's also easily t...

Naval Museum, Varna, Bulgaria. Ordnance Cat:

@Mark Dewis the wargames factory numidians were a great set. The bodies were generic enough to be useful in a ton of things. If Wargames Atlantic made a generic body sprue like that, I would b...

I agree with the consesus that the WGF samurai are fiddly, but there are useful bits. Definitely keeping an eye on Fireforge, though. My best efforts with WGF Japanese were heavily converted warri...

@PEter GIlham I would prefer 6 or 8 limbs too. 

Made a captain for my female pikemen. This is a WA conquistador legs, a Cannon fodder 2 torso. and head.... the plan will be to paint the torso like a leather jacket and the zipper as chain mail be...

I seem to be the only one complaining that the prototype bugs have only got four limbs . It just doesn't look right . Apart from the fact it prevents them from using weapons,bugs are not bipeds,all...

@Brian Van De Walker Well, they definitely advertise them as 28mm. They have 2 official sizes, 28mm and 54mm. Now they also call their Anno Domini 28mm. And said during the KS that the pistol chick...

@William Redford Been thinking about the sprue thing, what about buying as a upgrade box. I know I have bought "box kits" that where just upgrade sprues for another set (and I am talking minis here...

@William Redford Actually, I think Hot and Dangerous may sell sculpts in both 28mm and 32mm versions for subjects, though this is based purely on ebay box pics.

@Steffen Seitter  I will give you that is the consesense because of Wikipedia agreeing on that and it not being worth fighting over. However your personal argument is not convincing for the f...

@Grumpy Gnome Yeah, I dont think I will bother with the WF Samurai anymore. Though some of their head options (the helmet crests) may be of use with the Fireforge Samurai. So I wont toss them yet. ...

I had some of the WGA Samurai... I also found them fiddly and often a bit stiff looking, like mannequins. So they went back onto eBay. Hence why I am curious to see how the Fireforge KS does. But I...
