Dunno if I'd wanna buy two kits to build a single unit, and unfeathered shieldless mazticans are also kinda unlikely to show up in my campaign. But then again, this might still be cheaper than GW s...

Wargames Atlantic already makes medium-sized goblinoids though. I'll be painting mine in orange-brown-yellow-something as hobgoblins for sure. Granted, D&D 3.x is less specific about the gear, ...

Not sure if this is a fantasy perspective or a DM perspective, but I didn't have an immediately negative reaction to scared/fleeing civilians. Dark elves slaughtering recently captured slaves to de...

I hoped to use the plastic tubes that come as protection on decent paintbrushes for something, but at least this very clear one I tried didn't get glued with butyl acetate and instead got permanent...

A plume? A big one, like on the 6th edition empire knights or the current Perry men at arms. Alternatively, whatever big joustey crest belongs on a great helm... except a cludgy rural imitation of ...

@JTam Demigryphs can have full command. I am probably not going to do my bear unit after all though, as I dont think I will have shelf space... and you reminded me that I am only allowed one shelf ...

I almost forgot! Don't forget those gnome looking helmets or hats with hobgoblins. Makes them look all threatening and phalic.  The Samari helms are cool but this gnome looking thing is still...

I wanted to have a halfling general on a griffin. I got a wizkids griffon (it was cheap) and have been wanting to get some goblins to use the mount legs. Well I got a sprue (finally, had been consi...

Hobgoblins really do need some nice recurve horse bows, kris knives, and simitars. I do vibe with the Mongolian theme. One of the tics in my personal Fantasy lore is that Hobgoblins are the only Gr...

I dont really have a lot to add to this. I think mashing cultures is always interesting and would help people get a feel (imagined) for the culture of the Hobgoblins. Though I am sure there are som...

@lauregami If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... maybe you can hire the A-te... err Mustafarian flea riders.  These were the pre-painted starwars figure...

@lauregami I'ed rather have Three Wheeled Sail Skiffs or Dragon Knight Raptors then, Beetle Mounts.

@Benjamin Hayward I'd love a civillian box for modern, fantasy, and sci-fi, along with post apopcalypse.

@BS Kitbasher Link please since I can't access it from either Microsoft Edge or Firefox.

So in another thread hobgoblins got brought and I think they deserve there own thread. So lets start, now among the suggestions made where them Japanese (D&D style) or Mongolian (WFB), but why...

@Michael Scott  I am afraid Wargames Factory tried, and Warlord relased it and it was basically a miss and miss idea. First of all despite the appearance there are differences in kit. Second t...

instead of having multiple boxes for Modern Tier 1 Operators, why not have a single box with multiple options for heads / arms / weapons but leave torsos generic, can always add options into the bo...

I personally wouldn't mind civilians, but I don't know how well an entire box would sell. For me, they'd be objectives: captives that need rescuing, or I could run missions akin to the "terror" mis...

I don't see anything wrong with unarmed survivors in say... a zombie game or alien invasion. I get people are touchy about it the closer we get to modern time. But we see them in film, so why not ...

@BS Kitbasher I think you could definitely make a "civilian" kit - WA already has the French partisans and such along those lines already - without the "terrified" part. Battle scars/damage can be...

I think this is a great idea and would be a fun kitbashing experiment. The hooded/cultist gas mask heads from Anvil Industries I think could make a convincing looking Ash Wastes-type space nomad, w...

@JTam  I mostly agree with you, especially in the context of modern conflicts.  There will always be gamers who want to "add flavor" to their "extremely accurate" Waffen SS army, and I'm ...

It's a shame every company has a different idea of what a halfling should look like.  TTCombat's are a lot of fun, but they are rolly-poly cartoons compared to WGA's halflings.  Mantic ma...

I had to log into Google, and it took me to a Google docs version of it.

Is the poll still up because I can't acess it.

I mostly clicked on the gangsters and insurgents.   A modern military kit would be great, but only really useful for building modern or near-future military/mercenary minis.  Insurgents a...

@Steven StGeorges They have a bunch of male halflings, but the females are pretty much what i posted. I was part of their desert elves kickstarter. Female desert elves that were sort of egyptian da...

@GreenScorpion   I am talking about that Meng kit not the 1/100 one...  As seen on Meng website.. HERE Quite a lovely detailed model, scalewise with GW minis and vehicles... and way ...

Made another dollar tree run. Got 2 cool robot/mech/power armor guys, an alien monster guy, and 2 packs of spiders. The spiders are my favorite... 

@William Redford  Halfing Shieldmaiden walrus cavalry... whatelse?

I think models of civilians in a combat zone, behaving as civilians commonly do... as victims... is a potentially contentious set but it depends a lot on how it is used. It is the same risk of any ...

I'm pretty live and let live kind of guy.   I see plenty of kits and kit ideas that I'm not interested in and or don't like.  And I move on and don't comment because doubtless this ...

@Yronimos Whateley  Great roll up/analysis as always. There was a render or two floating around of the Conquistador cavalry.  I remember the horse looked small, but the renders are alwa...

@Brian Van De Walker  What? I imagine these men would disagree: That was a hard fight.  

@Frank Reischmann Hi  mate, poped on to have a look, no Leviathens, only a few figures, and the Gun Arm sets, so many traders brought them at rediculse sale prices, and quantities, that they`l...

They look really nice, congratulations. 

@JTam the woman could be holding any of a number Victorian era guns like a Pepper Box pistol: The Thompsons gun was real common not just in the states but overseas. It could be warlord Chinese ...

@Benjamin Hayward I have heard it both ways on the demand for real vs. strange real vs. Near SciFi, there where some good arguements for real modern (60's to present) of  course the guy making...

There are a lot of good ideas in this poll. I'm a fan of historical-fantasy and near future sci-fi. Most companies put so much effort into developing fantasy and sci-fi setting, just for fans to c...

@William Redford Ah, Rogue Roomba:

@Brendan Flynn Same. And I think it would make a certain GW army more popular, at least amongst those who dont soley use GW models or play at organized events that restrict outside/non GW models.

Oh, I forgot about TT combat. They look pretty nice. You said they dont fit size-wise? Thats a shame.  halfling-ladyfolk link shield-maiden- link shield-maiden-walrus-rider-queen- link shi...

If you are looking for miniatures for Barsoom you need to check out Bronze Age Miniatures in the States.  I have the whole of the Tarks collection which are magnificent miniatures (and properl...

Yeah, I think that pretty much cements it as at least one gangster/bootlegger set (a male gangster set, and maybe a female one, if we aren't looking at a cowgirl set as would have been my first gue...

I would love to see a multi part large giant rivaling the gw and mantic offerings.  These lend themselves to conversions of all sorts, including shoulder howdahs, hip platforms, and massive ca...

Reaper would have been my suggestion as well:  their halfllings and gnomes include some great options now, with the recent Bones 6 Kickstarter adding some more great gnomes and haflings to sta...

@Stephen Sutton abstracted movement and shooting sounds good for keeping games thematic. But some of people are turned off by having to buying pre-made battle mats or having to dedicate fields to s...

@Benjamin Hayward  Exactly!   The cheesecake can be fun for me, and fantasy/sci-fi literature has a long and fine tradition of it that I'd much rather uphold than lose, but there's p...

Lets be clear. I love Mad Max as much as the next guy. But there is a big difference between Wastland Brezerkers and Sand Nomads. Even if Shanty Dwellers, Survivalists and Sand Scavangers blur the ...

Great conversion and kit bash, I love it.  This may be a way of using up all those left over bits in the Aztec sets.
