If we want it to be forward compatible with the Saxons, Franks, etc. you need enough of the right head types in the box so they can pair with the main box. Ultimately you'll be able to mix and matc...

@Hudson Adams I looked at what you preveiwed. You can sell this with just the helmet headswaps and probably should  since it would still represent all the tribes, it will save space and give m...

@grahamThe Goth's have a fur cape and a sheathed sword with resting hand and pointy hand, in my book that counts as your officer (used that to add a hobgoblin warchief to my grey pile). That said ...

@Mithril2098 hopefully 20, but it is power armor and a lot of bits.

Wonder how many bodies per sprue, and how many per box.

Ok, I have no idea why they put this weird filter on the promo image, it makes my head feel like melting. Here is a clear photo:

@Brian Van De Walker . There are parts of a command set on the Goth (and late Roman set) in the sense of a standard, horn etc. There are no specific officer type bodies with better or more ornate a...

Looks pretty well and detailed honestly. I think a few details to close it's scale to 28mm like accessories, switching barrels to smaller ones and other tidbits (Night Shift on YT is pretty good at...

I just built a 1/35 Tamiya Stug IV to use it as a heavy sci fi Tankhunter. Here is it pictured next to a Ironcore Stormtrooper. I think it works as a 40k style superheavy tank  

So, what's my point?I am ok with 48 bodies.I would actually hope for more: 30 bodies in tunics to soak up Goths, and 20 with integral left arms to soak up Irish.If we're working with a figure of 6 ...

04 - Persians Now, with WGA Persians we're pushing into fringe armies, alt history and outright fantasy.But they are an integral arm kit, and worth mentioning too.The box contains 40 models, 5 bod...

03 - Dark Age Irish Probably my favorite soak up kit from WGA, DA Irish has 6 human bodies plus 2 dogs per sprue. Those bodies come with integral left arms, and have fewer right hand option...

02 - Late Romans in Lorica Hamata   WGA suggest to mix Goths and Late Romans to get armored Dark Age Warriors.Let's compare Late Romans with Goths.At 4 models per sprue, 24 per kit, Lorica...

01 - Goth Warriors Sprue     When assembling Goth Warriors, one sprue yields 5 complete models. We have about 30 leftover bits - depending how many extra bits put on those bodies,...

Alright, might be a bit long-winded.Bear with me, there is method to my madness, and a point to my ramblings.First of all, the blurb on the pre-production page says "at least 48 bodies".I know we t...

Sorry for noticiting it so late.But I see people are still struggling with Conquistadors, so here's my take on them.I made up the diagram BEFORE getting the actual sprue, so it might be a bit off.S...

I never shot a whole army picture of my Empire guys.But this is what they looked like a couple of years ago.I added more units, and branched out too...I also mixed Conquistador and Aztec bits, to c...

I kitbashed mine from Warlord and Perry bits.WGA Conquistadors arms/heads were too large for my tastes.^_^  

@Hudson Adams  Also by your first point, what makes an army builder isn't necessarily massive numbers of models, it's more that very simple models which may only have 2 or 3 parts are inside ...

@Hudson Adams  Good to hear. Carolingians and Ottonians is my big vote. I want these boys following Otto I to the Lechfeld, and then his son to his disaster at the battle of Stilo

Swords&Pistols confirmed. Machineguns, rifles, launchers and flamers from generic set of Valkir confirmed. All classic helmets in the sets. Good set. Will get ...a few of them

@Andreas Mayrhofer Well, 3 of the sets got reached, we will see how thing go with them later on.

That all said - we will be including (if they all fit) 5-6 options of 8 heads each (40-48 heads) on the frame. This will allow you to build these as a variety of tribes and nations for the Migratio...

LOL you'll just get extra shields! We're not GW or other corporate game companies that require everything to be sliced and diced and commoditized until there is no joy left!  48 ibecause ther...

@Brian Van De Walker    I was going to reply with something like "they seem dead set on 48 and it's because that matches up with the dark age shield sprues that they'll just throw into ...

My biggest hope is, that this Kickstarter is so successfull that other factions get some plastic love too. Especially tje Holy Roman Panzergrenadiers and the japanese Heishi Troops right up my alley

Kit afftected: Black Brunswicker Hussars Part/s affected: Horses Scope of issue: Holes in file. Gaps between saddle blanket and horse.

i figured since the sculpts were updated and all new sprues being made, a few extra arms might have been snuck on over and above the normal guns for the trooper types. a pistol and a sword would le...

@Big Boi I don't think thats a good idea, honestly the more weapons and heads on this as opposed to bodies, the less its an AB and the more its just another general purpose dark age warrior set tha...

@Drangir Are you refering to the grenade launcher and flame thrower? cuase everything we have seen thus far is just weapons from the regular valkir box. While they are labeled as "heavy troopers" f...

@Hudson Adams No archers is fine, but can I request some javelins and slings in this? I know the Goth box exists and has slings but theyre small and can fit on a sprue 😁

WGA I just have one request (I understand the irony of that statement since I've made mltiple requests connected to this set here and on FB) Can we please get a variety of weapons, especially jave...

@Mithril2098 on the contrary, all the sneak peeks shown heavy trooper gear only, but there's still a lot to discover on the matter (especially after the fact that a decade passed since the last rel...

i'd hope at least a few of the melee options on the sprue. even if not a main part, enough game systems give squad and unit commanders pistol+melee loadouts that i'd expect at least one set to the ...

Yeah, I mixed the names up - we could see heavy troop gear, no support variety.

@Drangir It looks like it at least has the "big rifles" from the normal 20 figure set originally, so its likely they have the "not bolters" and other weapons from that set as well, I would be more ...

Pre-order in 8 days AAAA Are they will be support kind only? Or we can count on more weapons types in the sprue? More Iron-Core was announced too aaaaaaaa

Kit afftected: Black Brunswickers Infantry 2 Part/s affected: Body06 to 09 supported and unsupported Scope of issue: The tassels, belt etc on the officers body are floating in mid air. I think th...

@graham Well there is a command "banner" and musician arm in th Goth set,  yeah there are no armored bodies for them but you could use the Romans for that (fact is outside of missing axes, the...

@Hudson Adams So I am guessing light infantry is one?

Must admit I'm a bit confused what the Dark Age Army Builder really offers that is new over the Goth set. The Goth set is just a single sprue replicated 6x to give you 30 figures. It's offers no co...

Not for a bit - there are 3-4 frames depending to finalize.

Cool idea!

A half-sprue upgrade to use on regular human deathfields figures, perhaps?

So when will these guys be up for preorder?

@Yuber Okami Wouldn't it be easier just to paint the micenian/Trojan war STL print outs up as ghosts? That said I get the feeling its doable (seen other digibashs) and acceptable with the STL files...

@Hudson Adams Personally and I could be wrong on this but I just don't really see a 48 figure set of identically dressed genric European guys as being much of an AB to add to that 30 figure Goth se...

This box will be 48 figures. And again, we don't really care what other companies are making. Our focus is always on expanding the breadth and depth of our own catalog. 

@Brian Van De Walker Only if you want to and can, of course! We'll obviously only get some games tested, but a few is better than 0.

I am once again calling for the release of contenental troops. The "Dark age army builder" works fine for levy but there should be a box of armored infantry which could work as carolingins, ottonia...
