@JTam specifically replying to this image: Gods but I miss that shield. I had a whole unit of lion shield swordsmen painted in altdorf colors at one point. I wish I could find a copy ca...
@GreenScorpion Very nice indeed... I did recommend Meng's Wart toons range in my "Papercraft" thread... those are really nice scalewise models that could mix with any W40K army. I am...
I would like to see SciFi-Lizardmen... ;-)
@William Redford Actually our kid its definatally the place, if you look at my facebook post, I to would love to see those type of modern. If you think how many films and series, inspire our playin...
@Geoff Maybury I know its not the same topic, but I would love a set of Underworld style modern monsters. Like an RPG character from the old World of Darkness game. Were-wolves (in human and hybrid...
Loving it mate! I definitely need to do that.
Sorry for the potato pics... I have been trying to do this on my work breaks. :)
Here is a couple more pics. Next to a regular aztec and a GW lizard man.
@Steven StGeorges Thanks, my miners were meant to represent a mix of normal humans with multi-armed mutants that were common in the lowest levels of the mines of Airom, so the GSC models were ...
Got a sprue of lizardmen in the mail today. Decided to try a lizardman with some aztec arm. also shaved teh back of his head and added an aztec headress. \
@Grumpy Gnome Hi all, Tam. thanks for the starter, I`ve just put in the forum at least 3 sets what ever they chose to model first. Adversery, (good or bad) ,defendant (good or bad), and the v...
A set that could make classic Rainbow 6 style figures would be nice. The 6:Siege minis from that kickstarter showed that the series is quite a distance from its roots.
Well, I ordered the box of WSS artillery, 3x 100mm bases, and a sprue of horses, lizardmen and goblins.. and all are out for delivery. The Lizardmen, I am going to see if i can combine with the azt...
@Grumpy Gnome What would make the scientists insane on the sprue? just the faces/heads? Or will they have butcher knives and jars of their own urine? I am intrigued, and now want insane scientists....
Somali pirates immediately come to mind... that said, some great suggestions so far! Most important, please consider making both genders. I would like to see more common national units tha...
Grim times when the Army Times can be so off target on military matters as in the opening of that article. The Army is surprising me with going back to Battle Rifles but I do not think it will be ...
Yeah, I like all of it. Not the best timing for me, finances wise, but otherwise great stuff!
@Hudson Adams I would recommend reaching out to Johnny Fraser-Allen. I think a partnership between you would be beneficial to both. https://www.printablescenery.com/product-category/...
Really interesting read: https://theaviationgeekclub.com/heres-why-the-b-29-could-have-had-a-higher-loss-rate-than-the-b-17-and-b-24-over-germany-in-1943/amp/ Well thought out, well researched, w...
Well the big thing is people where asking for was knights and rangers for “fantasy” in the “what fantasy sets next poll”, meaning we will probably get them eventually anyway...
@Joe Dog Great idea to include wheels and tracks. The old school Rino is perfect example of what a miniatures games model should be. That thing was like six main parts? Ideally the s...
I hate working with resin.Metal is okay in single piece minis.Hard plastic is easiest to work with, and cost effective (if the sales numbers are large enough to justify the set up costs).A partners...
Like I said on Facebook: 2 sets: Yakuza and Japanese SAT with cyberpunk bits in each, covers survivors and what you actually need for outbreak cops and both should remain simple enough to not end u...
We already have adequate lizard alien invaders with the lizardmen set. I would love to see some Yom Kippur War infantry and armed civilians for apocalypse survivors.
@GreenScorpion Very good work indeed.. the Brood Brothers box is quite a very interesting set of bits and since it does include an Heavy weapon for the same price a must-have. Cannot...
@JTam "The generation ships is interesting. And their ancient history falling into myth is as well. Not as excited about the cloneskein thing. Although I suppose it gives them ...
Part of me thinks that WA uses them as they dont provide actual bases with the kits. So the minis themselves are not usable out of the box. With the puddle bases they can be used (i am not s...
@Blutze Yeah. That one. :) I did end uo buying on ebay for $33... $11/cannon I guess is not that bad... But I think the set went for $20 when originally released by WGF
I've seen the argument that "rounds look better" before, and I don't think I agree. For using the same mini on different sizes though, I have a big creature coming up that goes on a 50mm square fo...
While I'm dumping images, somebody needs to explain to me why puddle bases exist. Like, this looks garbage (one a little more than the other): And you can still kinda see it even after decoratin...
@JTam I love the idea of the Bren Carrier based light AFV.While they are available as model kits, model kits tend to be too flimsy and fiddly for tabletop gaming use.I would love to see some light...
If you're worried about sleeves, you don't need to swap the entire arm. You can drill out a closed fist (or cut off the weapon and drill out whats left) and stick an existing weapon through the hol...
Not sure how magnets are supposed to test steel for being stainless. All iron alloys are succeptible to rust, just to varying degrees, and all (at least all normal widespread) iron alloys attract a...
To set some context, I like to convert/mix kits and also to write so it is natural that my conversions influenced a book series I recently wrote and the books influenced the miniatures that I have ...
Preorders up! Starter Box I like the add on objectives and casualties:
PMC takes the crown for me. Most versatile of all. And I agree with William, it would be nice to have both female and male mini's. Perhaps something like the Canon Fodder kits. Were arms and gear a...
Later update on this: https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/05/10/shooting-farther-with-more-punch-the-army-finally-found-an-m4-and-saw-replacement/ Article starts dismally with the autho...
@Hudson Adams Geoff Maybury started this excellent thread: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/61959/today-and-tomorrows-war It has lot of good ideas on modern/near futur...
Definitely SEALs, Delta, etc. I'd also be interested in some PMCs to use as mercenaries or the resistance for an alien invasion.
I would be interested in gangs... Think Necromunda but more so the original necromunda... basically gangs that you would see in contemporary times, or 80's inspired. Gang members that are generic e...
Assuming we are talking post cold war to near future..... Everything! Seriously though, we are totally starved of anything modern/near future. The closest we come at the minute for near futu...
What kind of sets would you want to see as part of a Moderns/Near Future range? Delta? SWAT? Cartels? FFL? Yakuza? Royal Marines? Zombies? Lizard Alien Invaders? Rioters? Meal Team Six? Let us know...
@lauregami Such excellent setting ideas! I envy you having a regular gaming group. Right now it is just Mrs. GG and me for our gaming but we wished we had a regular gaming group. Before Littl...
Excellent work! I'm a bit the same - most of my miniature making enjoyment come out of kitbashing. I'll often buy a kit just becauseof a cool combo with parts from another kit. But then I ha...
@András Csaba Horváth I didn't realize there was a great helms on the sprue. Wargames Atlantic did a great job with the Halfling kit. Thank You for the feedback on Saga:...
@William Redford Thank you! That giant scorpion looks great! I may very well convert a goblin into a scorpion rider. Gabby the Gnome I think would also be a good starting point to create a model fo...
More Lore.... The generation ships is interesting. And their ancient history falling into myth is as well. Not as excited about the cloneskein thing. Although I suppose it gives the...
@lauregami The setting sounds cool. I am a big fan of blackpowder in fantasy. It took some convincing but my RPG group is now as well... or at least tolerates it well enough. Giant S...
Thank you for the kind words, everyone! I'm sure I'll have more updates as I keep building the minis, and I hope to do the hobby veterans here justice. My prior experience working on larger model k...
