Agreed, Grumpy. The roleplayers and the diorama makers will love them. Plus... there's often a need for bystander or objective markers.

Sculpted a larger peak on the cap as@Estoc  suggested, I think it's passable. Thanks for the advice.

@William Redford, my statements about WGA were made knowing things they have done elsewhere. I have no issue with them making kits that are offensive. If they want to make naked girls with guns or ...

As Mark raises the Stug-Kickstarter he shows a 3D-printed model of it so I think there are STLs for the rest of the big guys...  I would pay 50€/$  or more for a STL of any of the v...

@William Redford Like Bills post, I agree with you it`s to hard to read emotion on these forums. I to read posts by Jtam and Yronimos, I don`t Know either, but really wish I did, these are people, ...

@Bill Thomas Oh yes I relate to that we had a lovely guy, Andrew, ex para, loved Falkland games, and he was their. Used  to play in 20mm with Platoon 20, and Airfix polythene civilians, and ra...

Looks awesome, man!  If you didn't tell me what it was, I'd immediately recognize it as a commissar, so mission accomplished!

@Brian Van De Walker I think Big Boi is talking more about the specialists/command models and force orgs (multiples of 5 per unit, single model characters, etc.), which are shared by many other sys...

Look pretty good. You might want to sculpt a bigger hat though, and maybe a more ornate coat.

I hate the idea of $30 a model so I made my own, how do they hold up so far?

I got one a little while ago, It's been fun to tinker with. I'm still bad at it, I don't get much time to use it. So far I think this is my favourite. I got it from Janovich's Patreon, he makes th...

@Lord Marcus Thank you so much for your advice and expertise! This is exactly what I needed - more information about the hobby and the material itself. It's good to know that I was overestimating ...

Some minor updates this afternoon! I haven't done any priming yet, because I got sidetracked experimenting with Milliput for the first time. I decided to try and make some banners from them. While ...

@lauregami  I have been diving headlong into the hobby, to the point where I am seriously considering investing in some kit for a 3D resin printer I've been keeping an eye on (the AnyCubic ...

After re-reading your OP, in my opinion you should veer away from trying to make your armies/squads "game agnostic." Instead, figure out what kind of gamer you are, because that's going to determi...

Civlians are cool with me; a number of games out there I can think of use "gen pop" as problem generators... and the Falklands, ooh, I'd be all over that... SAS for a "Pebble Island Raid"  and...

@Benjamin Hayward Really nailed the "Elephant In The "ROOM" " I`m convinced at times that peoples intent can in no way be interprited, sadly at times, and "Offence" is seen, were none was intended....

@lauregami Your post is full of the joy of begining, I don`t want to tie you down. Allways go with what you fancy to build and to paint, that way with shows being undiscided yet, the pleasure will ...

certainly - a space legionary is useful for so many things: -40K -Star Trek Mirror Universe -Pre-Arrakis Atredies house troops (at leas tthat's how they look in my minds' eye) -Foundation (Who ...

@Brian Van De Walker There are enough major revivals (9th age, Warhammer armies project) that are popular enough that you could find a community in most cities for it. all that aside even with KoW ...

@lauregami I am going to put this in a larger informed post letter but for now here's a very short story. Many years ago, as all gaming groups, we amassed loads of different figures, time periods, ...

@JTam Brought two reading books for "Ghost A" and very much enjoyed them, so it`s pulling at my heart strings, Just that dreaded "Time", loads to do all ready.  I`m  really enjoying both ...

Same! Also looking forward to a legionary style death fields release one day. Who doesn't love that aesthetic?

@Brian Van De Walker I hope the camp followers are not monopose.  It is great to see WGA making this set. I think it will sell well but admit I may be wrong. I trust WGA have done their ...

Thanks for the kind words :) In the meantime I finished some ranged troops and also some more warriors with halberds. Still need to base them, but after that I will post a few pictures of them.Also...

@lauregami  You should talk to McDougall, his website is here. That said I would veiw it as more of hobby thing unless I was going the  sculpting new stuff on patron route or a very acti...

@Yronimos Whateley I think its a terrian/diorama kit with soild pose nappy campfollowers doing laundry, which I am still wondering why they would bother with when female partisans of the era would ...

@Big Boi Hmm, I actually would not bother with WFB as a model since it is still dead and KOW pretty much replaced it as the go to mass combat ruleset, and thats a better ruleset from what I can see...

I have been diving headlong into the hobby, to the point where I am seriously considering investing in some kit for a 3D resin printer I've been keeping an eye on (the AnyCubic Photon Mono 4K). I'v...

I agree with @Estoc deciding the size of force that you want is the firt step. making a miniatures agnostic army for a small skirmish game and for a mass battle game are two different experiences....

I know its a ways off but what about safavid persians? they would make a great opposition force to any ottoman box and persians are ever overlooked. light cav with guns and bows, light infantry wit...

@Brian Van De Walker Actually yeah, most cataphracts that are out are too blatantly roman or byzantine to be used as a Sassanid army. as far as just horse archers go I feel like this box would be a...

@Yronimos Whateley I really like the style of these just class, the washing line is great survivalist back yards, why is the shoe on the sock???

@Danforth Laertes Thats not bad, depends on your aproach to the rear, if shes to be a solid top, with open troop firring stations or WW2 style of open top . You could make a ball turret for the sid...

@Geoff Maybury yup, seen and it looks lovely with all the weapon options but I fear it will be too small for the rest of my collection :( @Grumpy Gnome I feel ya as I buy sprues from Slogger too......

Updated the US sci-fi light infantry https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3187118144940734&set=pb.100009277404708.-2207520000..&type=3 with the latest two teaser pics.  

Someone on another forum suggested an idea that came to me independently while they were making it; slice off the top of the rear section and put some railings on it. This ties in with the overall ...

Speaking of US light infantry (or maybe near-future faction?), here's this week's sneak peek:   That's a curious mix of stuff! We've clearly got some sort of modern/near-future military (...

@Geoff Maybury That is an interesting idea - I hadn't considered raising the front up (because it is already fairly high and to raise it would make the vehicle less streamlined). But it's an intere...

@Danforth Laertes I like it, I think that it works very well, what  I think it needs, is the front GW  machines roof, should be raised to meet the hight of the rear. Then a T piece gridin...

@Grumpy Gnome @Bill Thomas  Rubicon are going to town on this vehicle, at this moment and it looks as if she will be a real bueaty, in perfect 1/56th scale. See all the tech drawings and detai...

I am not sure if I don't need to remove all of the rear section above the mudguards and then rebuild / replace the whole of the bodywork. Right now the main issues (as I see it) are the twin view p...

@Ethan Gilbert I have been thinking about it maybe the best way to do them is  wokou style for infantry and fantasy Silkroad bandit style  for the cavalry (which would be mongols anyways)...

I had hoped to have a batch of 5 bulkier troops done this weekend with the larger torso copies based on the torso I sculpted, but I got sick earlier this week and I am still in the recovery phase, ...

@Ethan Gilbert Yeah they would be pretty fun, and they fullfill the bare minum of having a Saga board. They should probably start with the armored cataphracts. Particularly if they add this crossb...

Perfect ork truk, oh, wait you want it for space french, hmmm, @Grumpy Gnome and @Benjamin Hayward Have the right idea about adding greenables (packs, armored plates, etc.), the double driver view...

I agree with@Benjamin Hayward . Adding fuel cans, tools,stowage bags,etc will help the back half look as detailed as the front. The additional viewports work for me but I can see where they ma...

Well, take for example having to pay VAT now on some things coming from the UK to Germany, including gifts. Ebay is now 20% more expensive and that does not include the usual 6 Euro handling fee th...

As mentioned before I think that going in on the Sassanian empire would be a great option. As WGA focuses on cavalry sets, it would be really cool to see some light horse archers or even cataphract...
