I think I might use them as Fallout style Super Mutants with a little bit of conversion work.

As a further point... the allies had little to no need to develop anti tank guns in WW1, and so effectively didn't. The Germans only built 20 rather crap tanks, alongside some use of captured Allie...
Warlord designed their ECW kits to do double duty as 30YW, which is why there's a few head sprues.
I did some science and I reckon they're 28mm to the eyes, 32mm total, on 32mm bases.
Would LOVE a robot kit. Saleswise it may be a good idea to offer kit options to cover the Necron/Terminator look, though. Make the default guns a bit Necronish, have a skull head option. Kee...
Space kitties are all over the genre. You have Larry Niven's Kzin (which crept into Trek), Traveller's Aslan, C.J. Cherryh's Hani and plenty of others. An easy seller, I'd have thought. Three poin...
@Mark Dewis Hmm bugbear heads, lizard head... that would match the muscled frames. You have me intrigued sir!
Likely to match with current 40K standard, I'd think. I'm considering head swapping in to make big guy aliens. The hyper-Rambo look leaves me pretty flat, but stick on a Gnoll head or a Reptile ma...
@Mark Dewis I agree but... :) there are some scale variances in GW between 40K but also next to necromunda. While I am sure they will look fine either way, I am basically wondering if these will be...
I expect most of the liability here is with Reptilian Overlords. WGA are probably operating in Renedra mode - just manufacturing other people's projects. WGA will stock it and sell it, but any mark...
I would think they'd be fine. They're clearly designed as proxy Catachans, so I expect they're scaled to suit 40K pretty much exactly.
Body wise these work... Anyone know a good source of heads? Perhaps some spikey bits to add to them? Dont know how they compare size wise yet, but I think I may buy a set to make gang punks...
@Steven StGeorges no idea I haven't compared them yet
@William Redford Their Not-Sisters and their Not-Heretics seems quite interesting models ... but I would like to know their size compared to WGA productions and IF we could mix them with bit...
@Hudson Adams All of them? 😲 Sounds like that very moment of Doctor Who mythos
@Steven StGeorges I am wonder what the scale on these is. There are 4 to a sprue and only 20 to a box at a higher price than normal WA stuff. So... does that mean they are larger (more 40K scale). ...
@William Redford According to WGA statement ("We will be working with them to bring versions of their fantastic model sets from resin and STL file formats to on-the-sprue hard plastic.") and...
Now that the set has been officially announced, will we get an official subsection to discuss it and furture RO sets?
@Mark Dewis Yeah I figured each section could be expanded futher but the idea was kinda like a sampler platter of conversion options.
Got my dwarfs in the mail today. Only 6 to a sprue, and only ordered one sprue. Did a quick assembly of one. Shown here next to a halfling hand gunner and a human halberdier. Overall? I like them....
The FT is the best kit to do in plastic - it became the tank adopted by many nations postwar and it (or locally made versions) saw service in most interwar conflicts, even through to WW2. Soviet T...
Only the smaller end of field artillery would make sense. Heavy guns were positioned well back from the front lines and only vulnerable to other off-map artillery and planes. You need *rules* about...
@Mark Dewis yeah warlord does have plastic morions (I think one or 2 per sprue) in their ecw pike box. They also have metal morions with and without feathers and a more cone version (that I ha...
@Michael Scott Great name, by the way. I can see pieces like the French 75, the British 18 pounder and the German 77, but not much bigger than that. I think that the French 37mm infantry gun...
I do agree with you about being offboard, but the great war was the evolution of arty. The weapons used from start to finish changed greatly. Early war arty would be great to see, could still be on...
Geoff, don't forget that Curiassers were a thing in this era, and Perry have a good kit for those: https://www.perry-miniatures.com/product/wr-40-mounted-men-at-arms-1450-1500-12-mounted-figures/ ...
Excellent concept. Some of those - especially Elves - could justify a sprue of their own, if demand for them at skirmish unit or army level were there. Tails would be handy on the frame as well.
Beards can be filed off... Get to work with that Dremel! Also... I know anything pretty much goes as far as who wears what helmets in this era, but I tend to associate morion helmets with pike bl...
With all the wondeful things you've been doing, I'm glad that you chose the conquistador/landsnecht army.
You could probably fit a few more heads into there. Like the concept.
A self respecting gnome would wear shoes though... So either these are halflings with fake beards to instil fear in their enemies... or they are gnomes who dont respect themselves. I can actually w...
@Mark Dewis @William Redford We could just pretend it is a Gnomish Handgunner unit with an Halfing leader 😄
@Viking Cowboy There`s never enough variation in heads for conversions. Great idea.
@Mark Dewis @William Redford "HAR" But we be Conquistadores Halflings, do you know how long it took for some of us to grow them.😺
@Mark Dewis yeah. There is one morion head without beard. And the face is actually a little rounder and more "halfling" too. I am making a unit of 20 of these guys (12 done so far) and didn't...
One small niggle... with beards they are more Dwarves than Halflings.
Don't forget WA have horses as a kit now. Some of the Fireforge ones are handy as well. But... Perry always do wonderful horses, and are always superb value.
@Viking Cowboy I really like the ideia, and would definatly buy a couple of sprues.
@Viking Cowboy Great Idea, I would definitely buy that sprue.
@Steven StGeorges Yeah. I missed the Princess Bride reference. The Conq cavalry are definitely something I am looking forward to... but it doesnt look like they will be this year... as they were on...
To the suprise of nobody, the player races of [Your favorite TTRPG Here] are often times more interesting than the ones that have the most miniatures. We've all played a Tbaxi, or Dragonborn, or so...
@William Redford Argh a pity you did miss my Princess Bride reference... you know... Inigo 😞 Anyway, one more time you just proved the awesome compatibility and versatility of WGA sets. Qui...
@Steven StGeorges ha! In spanish class my teacher used to call me Guillermo... ahhh 30 years ago... :) and my mother's maiden name was Villarejo.
Very nice indeed -as usual, I think it is quite time for you to reconsider a name change, like Caballero Guillermo del Rojo Vado.. Awesome idea and conversion ... 👌
@Mark Hoffman That's great news that Warlord haven't ditched them completely and Skytrex has taken over their manufacture. It would have been a real shame to see such quality miniatures disa...
