@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...

More pics

I Saw another good conversion by @Lucas Williams on Facebook. It was a halfling with a Conquistador head and arms.    I had previously made some halfling handgunners based on a great co...

@lauregami I was trying to get into mecha/gundam models for a while but nothing was cheap enough. until now... on a similar note, some aliens encased in life-supporting armor would be... wait, th...

@Caratacus  Skytrex carries the old Warlord WW1 line of tanks.  Rubicon have been focused on WW2 vehicles, but have started  to branch out , and have started a line of Vietnam War ...

While not all of the older Wargames Factory figures are of the same quality, most still retain a certain “mannequin” look to them. In this case some are perfect for background in a Fall...

@Grumpy Gnome Thanks pall I had a look and found 3 more would have chosen quicker if I`d seen these before. Even more into it now, game as a section on salvage and finding supplies, + Alien Tech, t...

I've been off-line since the 9th, so seeing this picture this morning was a pleasent surprise. Fingers crossed we're still on for a 2022 release 🙃 

@JTam Cheers Tam, yep the Commando, would have loved a real one, have to seatle for 1/56th and Rubicon. Major "Brain Fart" on that machine could not think of the name. "DUH" . Will dig out the old ...

@Mark Hoffman As I said at the beginning of the thread, Warlord have ceased production of their WWI tanks, but Trenchworx and Brigade Games (and Phalanx Consortium @JTam ) are still making theirs, ...

@Mark Hoffman  It would appear that Phalanx also makes a Mark IV (Male) in 1/50th. https://www.thephalanxconsortium.com/british-mark-iv-male-tank.html  

In most 28mm games artelliry would be offboard or mostly just terrain. mortars and machine guns would be good for emplacements and heavy weapon units, but larger guns wouldn't see much use on the f...

I would prefer it to be be seperate but just voted for the vampires.

The best thing about alternate history is it's alternate. If your computer gunnery interupts the franco-prussian war, germany would be in a different state in 1915-45. In addition, revolutions may ...

Any classic WOTW martians would be nice. Might be more classic fantasy though.

Yeah, there are two threads I made about this before. The moderators said it was from the service used.

It sounds nice, especially if the models could work as elite units or standard units with different parts.

This page: https://us.warlordgames.com/collections/french-indian-war-1754-1763 Edit: small mistake - while the WGF kits were pitched to be usable for 1754-63, their main focus was 1776-83. But th...

Weren't the old Wargames Factory Revolutionary War kits (especially the Indian one) designed to go cover this as well? Warlord still publish them.

For eastern monks, I find the Perry Anasar Warior kit invaluable (note the upper right pair and the bodies with the shoulder wrap): Some of the Afgans (WGA or Perry) also work as the basis of ...

Having said all that, a kit with robed figures is a great idea. I'd mix it up with medieval, science fiction and occult options. Wizards, monks, cultists, Jedi and ceremonial guards. 

Actually, most of the good bits are on the command sprue. If you source those instead of the general kit it might be better: Fireforge do sell this sprue seperately at ten Euro. The Teutonic one...

Some of the bodies on the Frostgrave wizard sprue will make servicable monks. Plus the Vicrix command sprue guy (who is on several of their dark age command sprues).  The Fireforge Templar in...

Are there any other manufacturers of 1/50 scale WW1 tanks out there? The only ones that I know of are all in resin. And all  are in 1/56 scale- Warlord, Trenchworx  and Brigade Games. HLB...

@Geoff Maybury  Awesome Brother.  Thanks for sharing about your vehicles.  Very cool stuff. Are you referring to the Commando? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Gage_Comman...

Today I managed to finish painting another batch of miniatures, this time a group of dwarves mounted on giant spiders and their dwarvish infantry support.The high temperatures and the fires in the ...

@Geoff Maybury Yeah, I am still going to get the Conq Cavalry when WA releases them. But I am thinking I may buy a box of Perry (12 riders) to make 2 units for my Landsknechts. Since they are not a...

@William Redford Cut down on waiting Bill, also give you the opertuinity to create some very special unique figures, also the same, on foot and horse, if you should so wish.

Preview link Fireforge announced this will stark next week! Looking forward. 

So These have started showing up on ebay. Just ordered the above sprues. Enough to make 6 arquebusiers. I had backed the kicksterter but only went in for a $1 and never upgraded.  I am lookin...

I think a cool opportunity for a robot sprue would be to kitbash them with an existing sprue to create cyborgs. I think I saw some cyborg parts on the female Cannon Fodder; if that's a popular opti...

@fodzilla Nice war band , great priest, not a bad price set either.

It's not a full kit, but there's a monk on the Victrix Saxon Command sprue if you just wanted to build the one character. https://www.victrixlimited.com/en-au/products/late-saxons-anglo-danes  

@Benjamin Hayward Eh, seems we all like "Weird Wars", American Civil, WW2, Korea, Nam, are my dabbles.

@Carsten Ohlsson Good thinking with the animal masks, a versatile set right through to Si/FI.

@Viking Cowboy Yea thats the thought that made me think of it to begin with. If youre in northern europe around the 900s sometimes vikings happen and the soldiers are away, so the monks must try to...

@Carsten Ohlsson I'd probably throw some bits from the Dark Age Irish kit on them and have them try to defend themselves against vikings.

Phalanx Consortium makes a resin 1/50th FT17.  Hopefully this marks a shift to 1/50th by more manufacturers.   Blood and Valor

Took a very long time but I updated my blog, included a post on these guys here.   https://ninety-nine-projects.blogspot.com/2022/07/turnip28-fodder-and-brutes-for-45th.html

Yeah, some simple medieval robbed figures would be great. Tho, do please make any iconography a separate bit, like crosses. It makes things easier for conversions. I would expand on the idea by sug...

Good Idea. I would kitbash it and build futuristic Space Crusaders.

Saw this excellent conversion on Facebook by @LucasWilliams. Comments state that they were made with Perry's War of the Roses light cavalry. May have to try this.
