Here are old WGF Persian based ninjas I did back in the day, prior to green stuff:
Gray For Now Games posted this size comparison: Warlord Games's "Blitzkrieg German" on the left, Gray For Now/WGA minis center and right. While the WGA offering has more realistic proportions, ...
Reference: Well, let's take a look: Looks fine to me. Reference what's "going on at the front." Looks like a common white light/IR light/visible laser/IR laser combo. The Army is...
@Grumpy Gnome Reference: Great ideas. A guy chucking a drone in the air would be cool. I like a lot of the ideas from the fantastic Eisenkern Command Set. Particular...
@Grumpy Gnome Reference: That is based off the premise that the Grognards and Bulldogs are "cultural paradies" which I don't think they are. The kits are "semi-historical" and refle...
Poll results update: Not surprised by the Sci Fi results. Both those sets promise to be amazing and have broad appeal. The fantasy results make sense to me too. The Landsknecht Ogre...
I love how the Marines look, I find the guns a bit bulky for my preference. Oddly enough it's the same with Cannon Fodder, guns are just a bit too bulky.
A 1:35th scale Lorraine 38L (much incomplete and converted) as a Chimera equivalent.
@Grumpy Gnome that is a very interesting take on how history is made. Dark, but interesting. And I think I probably lean more towards that take. fir the record, :) I don't think Somali ...
@Frank Reischmann Actually they along with Eisenkern are an older than WGA concept developed by Mark Mondragon for his company DreamForge games but didn't really make it into the hard plastic stage...
I believe from earlier discussions that the magazine on the rifle is for the grenade launcher rather than the rifle itself. That could have changed of course. Most of the front bulk is I believe (...
Fascinating discussion folks. I will admit that as much as I think the Conquistors are interesting, I do not find them as cool as I did in my youth. I was once very mislead in the understanding of...
FYI @Wargames Atlantic, I need to know when these are coming because imma need A METRIC TON.
@JTam that's ok. Our opinions are what make us. Disagreeing is part of that. My opinion, normal people are driven in to non normal situations everyday. From a mother fighting off a bear to sav...
@William Redford Have to disagree with you. Some men are braver and more driven and they make "history". There are indeed a lot of "normal" men and absolutely no "history" would ...
The Conquistadors were certainly not the good, guys not even from the perspective of the spanish. They wiped out a society of scientists (The Inca) for basically no reason and ruined spain's econom...
@JTam normal men did this everyday. And continue to do this. The world is made of normal men. The fact that they do extraordinary things is what makes history. And any person has it in t...
Reference the natives thinking the Conquistadors being discredited: Google search You'll see there's plenty to suggest it's nonsense. There's some links to papers in pdf format. It wi...
oh and the dogs. The natives had dogs. Small 6-8 pond creatures that were kept as food and sometimes pets. The Spanish dogs were not comparable and weighed up to 250lbs. The natives did not believe...
@JTam Somali pirates attacking unarmed people and stealing from them is something the conquistadors did as well. the part about comparing them to Spartans making your case... well your ...
Wait. You think Somali pirates are cool? I mean to each his own, but they made a South Park Episode about how lame they are.
The fact that you CAN compare Conquistadors to the Spartans or the defender of the Alamo pretty much makes the case. Bravery is largely divorced from intent. (I'm not saying Conquistadors we...
@JTam :) I don't know if it's beyond despute and you can put that spin on a lot of aggressors. Somali pirates, drug cartel, etc etc. do I think they are cool? Yes! Individually we're plenty of...
Sail across a giant ocean in a rickety wooden boat. Land on a strange new world. Attempt to conquer an entire continent. Battle extraordinary numbers. Cross hundreds if not ...
@John Wilson Fair enough. A pilot mini would actually be awesome. It's worth noting that nowadays the vast majority of rotary wing aviators have ditched the pistols for PDWs ...
@Estoc @JTam The "Men of insane bravery and unimaginable fortitude" part. I will admit, that is not really something I associate with conquistadors. I always picture them as using trickery and supe...
@JTam Original Messsage.
@JTam Those pistols are going to be very useful, head swap and these are marine pilots. They will also be useful for those using them as Police/Corporate Security in Cyberpunk games and I'm sure th...
@William Redford LOL.
Umm Lieutenant... what do those Pulse rifles fire?
Yeah... I like that guys... a bunch of boxes for me... 👍
@Brian Van De Walker You are right... I expressed myself wrong... (can I say that so?) Please note: I don't use Facebook or Twitter... and all the other scab. If there is a background from...
Reference: The weapons look great so far. it would be nice if this guy had a slung rifle, or the rifle in his weak hand: This is probably more pistols arms than one needs: (Pistol...
This set looks awesome. You can do Aliens, you can do near future, you can do 40K with it. Awesome. I'm not sure how you could make it more "American" and I don't know why ...
@JTam Ok, I guess that leaves me out... at least if what my wife says is accurate.
I do have questions about the rifles barrel area...is it twin barrels alongside each other with the rifle barrel on one side and the grenade launcher on the other? Or are those supports, honestly r...
The 1986 movie "The Mission." I saw this too long ago to give a decent review of it. I do remember the protagonists forego defending an incredible natural obstacle/chokepoint where ...
@William Redford I dont think it needs anything, honestly. Although I wouldn't turn up my nose at optional parts I could use on other figures. Cowboy hats for instance are useful for Rangers in pos...
@Grumpy Gnome Like I said on Dakka. I hope THIS set doesnt get more over the top american changes. This one does a good job of capturing the Aliens/Starship troopers/Cadians feel. I hope it stays t...
I've been waiting on these from the first teasers so I'm glad to see how they turned out.
@JTam Yeah. The Sprue here says Firelock LLC 2020. Wargames Atlantic did say they had worked with Firelock. So not sure...
@William Redford Great shots of the "Militia" sprues. I do notice that the sprues from the Gray For Now / Wargames Atlantic collaboration "02 Hundred Hours" sprues have "Wargames Atlantic" ...
@Estoc The "Jindaro" episode? There is NOTHING about it that's historically accurate. But it captures some of the sense of wonder, mystery, danger, and horrors the Conquis...
@Hudson Adams Based on all the reactions I have seen, as well as my own. I am betting there will be. I am not a modern or scifi gamer really, and you have me excited for this set. So that probably ...
@William Redford will be a second set if there is demand
Yeah, these look really good. I dont know what I will use them for, but I definitely want a box. I do hope we get some female heads so I can add a Vasquez to my unit.
Yes we're giving Graham a couple months to get the game out and established and then we will have 2 30-figure sets for them.
Are these going to be availabel here? I really want some of those German Shepards.
