@Yronimos Whateley Different strokes, I suppose, but I got an overdose of the whole subverting the tropes / complexity of characters / moral greyness/relativism in fantasy thing somewhere back in t...

man, I've been getting back into 80s psychedelic fantasy aesthetics recently and god damn those designs scratch an itch. I've always been really fond of the little knights from Joust, with all the ...
@Piisami "That's probably an issue with most truly weird beasts, they have the feel of bad guy mounts...." They can come across as bad guy mounts. And why not? If you ask goblins and o...
Love how this range is developing, Orcs, Dwarves and Skeletons available now. With Ogres, Skeleton cavalry and Elves on the horizon. Plenty of units to recreate the armies of Middle Earth and some...
It looks like the beta rules aren't up anymore, does that suggest the next edition is on its way?
Yes loads more on the way from Lucas at Piano - he's sculpting away! And of course we also have Atlantic releases coming for the Sharpe game later this year to help flesh out all the units you'll n...
My Damned order arrived yesterday so I was clipping some sprue, and I was a bit confused by the little flames I was snipping off untill I realized I was clipping the female sprue; it's a problem my...
am i the only one who's a little more cautious about this? napoleonics have about a million excellent ranges, and i'm not really sure what wga can bring to the table. normally this wouldn't be an i...
i'd assume that this partnership is in part to help WGA fill out their Napoleonic range faster. since that's not gotten a lot of attention in the Sprue game polls or the older fan voting system, bu...
My question is, to not bury the lead, are we going to get more ranges and options than just fusiliers in greatcoats? My post-pandemic painting project has been finishing my 28mm French army.&...
@Yronimos Whateley Not going to lie twilight 2000 seemed like the postapoc setting that deserved more love than it got and I think it would be a great war game today as it was, even if it is althis...
God mate sorry to here about your eyes, really glad they are fine now. Nothing as bad for us but time took Tia, and Dinky from us Nala survived "Cancer" and I`ve lost the support needed for my ...
Welcome back, I've been missing you, too, wondered where you'd gone to! I was out for most of a year for a series of eye surgeries where I'd gone blind, I can see again now, and I'm healing u...
"Real World, Com " has played havoc with the lives of our family, but that's for another time, I`ve said before how much just being able to converse with you lot is good for this old farts brain ce...
since its been awhile since i did one.. anupdate. still no new starter, so my guess was wrong, but apparently the delay stems from WGA setting up and working out the bugs on their dual production ...
@Lord Marcus we meet again! Im the crazy guy that just got 12+ single sprues from you a few weeks ago! Talked about.getting back inro the hobby again. Thank you.for those instructions....
@timbus the thirteenth aye, come on classic fantasy dorfs!
the wait for the classic fantasy listings is killing me over here 😭
@Mithril2098 Given the context that it is and idea submission, "tells us anything else" seems to pretty clearly to me to mean "tells us anything else about your idea" i.e. the sales pitch par...
iirc it was labelled "tells us anything else", and in a place usually used on submission forms for unrelated comments/messages. so i took it as a general message field for feedback, and not present...
@Lord Marcus Yeah post those in PDFs on the digital download section, the mauler and cannons for sure need it and consider it for the new Ironcore sets.
@Mithril2098 Given the historical version is likely going to look the same as thier male counterparts, I agree, there isn't even a good reason do them or more Vikings for anything really. That said...
@Piisami Real moutian people have used wheeled carts, etc. since before the bronze ages most likely because they where in contact with civilizations that did, the only notable real world exception ...
personally i kinda wish they'd included a "desbribe your idea" field with say, a 300 character limit. (comparable to a twitter/bluesky post) to make it clearer to WGA what was being suggested, and ...
We are chasing down directions for the mauler - will update when we have them ready. - Max McDougall, Wargames Atlantic.
oh my goodness I've forgotten to update this. The legion now consists of: 100 comitatenses infantry with spears 100 romanized foederati archers 100 foederati infantry with melee weapons 40/100...
old thread but i will say i think sci fi diving suits, bioshock style, are making kind of a comeback. trench crusade has a navy faction that dresses like that, necromunda has a new oceanic styled l...
I know this is a pretty old thread, but since it's relevant I thought I'd share! This is a platoon of snowy tanks for my grognards/cannon fodder mixed army. they're a 1/35th e-100 stug model, with ...
The damned: I need assembly instructions for: Particularly the vehicle, artillery and heavy artillery. I was worried about asking for a while in fear of sounding dumb. But i have no earthly idea ho...
@Mithril2098 Yes, if they use wagons then it is very appropriate. However, I'm not sure they would use wagons. Wheels are a good way of conveying things, but not the only way. They could use beasts...
@Piisami They are still a fantasy race so doctriane need not be based on real world history in any shape or form, and I vote no to saxon anything for the same reason I am opposed to Vikings in fant...
they live in mountains, but pretty much every version of dwarves also includes crossing other regions to travel to more distant dwarf settlements in other mountain ranges. as well as trade with sur...
@Mithril2098 yeah, war wagons are cool. The only issue is that dwarves are a people of the mountains. Wagons don't do well there. And they're not really an active warfighting thing, rather they're ...
@Mithril2098 Most of the WW2 model vehical kits out there have 2+ ways of building them, that is probably the way things will work.
@timbus the thirteenth almost for sure.
@thomas lapoint I would rather just have the earler Mongolian invasions samurai and foot troops.
@Mithril2098 Not going to lie, I think they should just have steamtanks and skip domisticated animal, but if your going to do them wagons and hodaws would be the fun way, I just don't see dwarfs as...
the whole sprue game seems a little messy thus far. i'm betting that they got a little overwhelmed by the amount of submissions.
@Piisami i agree, horses look weird with dwarves. i think part of what makes dwarves fun is their practicality. every dwarf should look ready to fight, eat, and mine an ore vein at the drop of a ha...
@Yronimos Whateley yeah, as it turns out the damned heavy infantry have the exact head i'm looking for! with the scavvies as a base, i should be set. thanks for the help. generally i agree that ge...
Personally I'm inclined to say dwarves shouldn't have cavalry. instead, if they're fighting on the surface, they should have war wagons or something. Maybe channel some hussite ideas, with armored ...
@Yronimos Whateley personally, I favor non-horse mounts for dwarves. Something off with the aesthetics of horses+dorfs. The yak is now my favorite, elephant was in pic because I was using ai tool t...
To start off, I want to say I am extremely happy with the recent release of lightly armored ashigaru. The addition of unarmored and Dō-maru armored archers and heads wearing happuri motivated me to...
I don't think that a conversion kit for non-WGA vehicle models would sell all that well. That said, you could easily do a WGA vehicle kit that includes two or more ways of building a tank.. one wit...
Actually given we are talking dwarves, you could turn the elephant/mammoth/big monster into walking tanks with cannons or ballistia howdas.
@Yronimos Whateley Given comments I think Hudson/Tony is burned out crowdfunds forever with good reason. Honestly I think they should do things like bikes, cavalry, specalists, vehicals ,etc...
@Yronimos Whateley Yeah, I think its actually just the first round of voting and only one catagory will win, I voted for Shaolin monks because they seemed the most fun and a number of the other opt...
The war "Oliphaunts" have been a fantasy classic since at least Tolkien's day, at least. Exotic cavalry of various sorts are at least as old as Lovecraft's Dreamlands, where zebras and weird ...
The turrets probably aren't THAT big a problem: I've transplanted turrets between tank kits lots of times, even mounting 1/72 scale turrets on 1/35 scale tank bodies and that sort of thing.&n...
