Valkir was my vote, looking for them was why I found this website.

there are a lot of "28mm is [scale]" claims.. i've even seen some people sayingthey're 1/72nd.. and given i bought 1/72nd figures to play with like armymen toys growing up, that is way off.. (a 1/7...
They have appeared on the Vox Populi voting list. I would vote for them and see if they win. poll here

@Hudson Adams I noticed! That the chariots are already in production is a big part of why I'm hoping to see these; there's a "large" unit already available.The re-use of certain elements, I think, ...
@Brian Van De Walker Please note that I am not against historical fidelity and that at no time would I want these alternatives to be eliminated. If this set is concived as 16th century heavy cavalr...
Voited for Chinese Charoits and Cav, Valkir, and FPW Bavarians.
@Eduard Garfella I mean they are probably going to include the fully armored horse body on the same sprue, and even if they are not long spears like the lances just take up absurd amount of space o...
@Eduard Garfella Most of those will like not make it as is (ie half of them will likely be cut) same deal with the swords, even then I don't think its worth even considering given the space limitio...
The great General Corvatz and some of his comrades from the Estalian Liberation Front. "Oh, so you doubt the great Corvatz? *Laughs* Ignorant fool! I'm one of ...
@Hudson Adams voted for Valkir and Fantasy Trolls
@Red Bee Seems like this may be related.
unfortunately it is often more of a personal preference thing. in my experiance, 1/48 tends to look best with 28mm, especialyl the heroic proportioned ones. the hatches and doors look big enough fo...
Bronze Age will be coming in hard plastic one of these days! Unofficially the first bit of it is already out - the chariots in the Skeleton Cavalry and Chariots set were designed for the Trojan War...

not really, Panzer Lehr have a very unique uniform Gebirgsjäger would wear just the normal heer uniform and usually a lot of winter gear as well since they normally would be operating in moun...
When it comes to scale, is 1/48 the "best" option for Heroic 28mm? I'm wondering, if we had a solid scale to work from, if Wargames Atlantic would consider doing some cool "accessories" for s...
I'm going to do what I do best and revive a dead thread!I'd love to see more Bronze age sets, specifically cultures around the Levant:PhoeniciansCanaanitesIsraelitesPhilistinesRealistically this wo...
@Brian Van De Walker You´re right, but I think that in that frame, there are already many lances. To what extent does it make sense to have 14 lances for 5-6 bodies? And you leave other inte...
I am working on an early war german army and got the Panzer Lehr box to combine with the German Sentries box (at least for arms) to give them a few more active looking poses. However I have a lot o...
@Allan Lougheed yeah that one was already brought up, it also has quick start rules in the book which are easier to follow.
@Brian Van De Walker true enough, i just haven't had a chance to go searching for scifi specific stuff. hobbylinkjapan would probably be the best place to search for the anime kits, but i've mostly...
@Axel Schudak They didn't even really exist in western europen countries in any numbers of real note till wheellocks where a thing and I am pretty sure the Conquestdors never used any pistols...
@Mithril2098 Well, that is not totally the case, there are a couple of really cheap options for cool looking SciFi that are not really historical at all: Firstly you can actually build pretty good...
Stargrunt II is also worth mentioning. The rules complexity is on the high side so it's nothing like Xenos Rampant. But it can be used to model any kind of combat involving troops with firearms. I ...
> It´s not so fantasy I cannot subscribe to that. The era fitting for the fashion of these conquistadors ends around 1550, and while pistols did exist before the only showed up in sizable...
@Miyuso this is true, and if i find any I'll definstely point them out. But non-historical based designs are a lot rarer, especially in the more affordable price ranges. My selection from the first...
@Eduard Garfella And I must add, that this sprue has spears beyond its capabilities. Jajajaja.
The use of pistols in Spanish cavalery dates to the 16th century. It´s not so fantasy. In fact, in the conquistador infantery sprue they are missed. Thank you for including "montante" type ma...
I've made these from Real Estate signs in the past. It's a few cuts, some dowel, and some paint and done.
Was thinking about this. I've seen some interesting options from dollar stores that can be modified. The other thing is, what other designs could work rather than what looks like old Earth models? ...
@Jim Heath I think the dog is a better use of space than the fantasy pistols since WFB seems to be the main to only real reason people are wanting that anachronism, and thats honestly a terrible re...
You know after relooking at this, I really think you should just go with a "one of each type" approach instead of trying to be uniform with the weapons since each of the base torsos is outfit...
@Tobias Voss That is correct Entries for the Atlantic digital january painting contest go in this thread. The regular plastics contest thread was started by Karl.
@Lord Marcus Asking for a friend: Entries are indeed to go here, right? As it is so empty here :/Hopefully because everyone is still preparing their entries 🤞
@Mithril2098 I bought the British 7-ton Armoured Car a while back. It's definitely close enough for Death Fields, especially when you put your dudes on bases. It was a nice build, and it's going to...
The tamyia 1/35 Pzkpfw II makes a pretty good battle tank when outfitted with a bigger gun. They come fairly cheap for around 10-15 bucks

That camo pattern took an age to paint and fade.
On the death world of Haharrysun, Sgt Barnes moved stealthily through the undergrowth, his PSG3 sniper rifle at the ready.
@Hudson Adams thank you. Took quite some time to build it.
@Andreas Mayrhofer really loving the Star Wars troop transport - well done!
@Benjamin Hayward thanks mate. Very nice from you. Yes, storage space is a real struggle and my wife gives me the "look" every time I start a new project. But I'm a hobby butterfly and fly from one...
