@Vitor Soares I really want both, but voted for the ogres as monstrous infantry is rare. Other than GW... no other monstrous infantry in plastic.

@Chris Pryme I had the exact same problem. If I didn't need that halfling cavalry for my army, I would have voted for the Ogres.
I am looking forward to the Dark Age Army Builder sets, and the halfling cavalry. Really curious on The Franks. Will have, of course, to buy the Ogres, the Trolls and the Treemen. Not my fault...
@Yronimos Whateley I would have thought that with rules hopping to be added "sometime", a fluff of more than "Two paragraphs" might have by know arrived. I`d like it a bit like how G/W, Mantic do t...
What's about Mark Mondragons "Shadowkesh"... they were the perfect aliens behind "Death Fields"... they are big... they are bad... and we can use them for Death Fields AND for the Iron-Core setting...
I agonised a bit over the fantasy. I really want Landsknect Ogres, but then I also want the Halfling Cavalry to 'complete' my Halfling force. It was close, but the Halflings won out.
Relevant to my interests. I'm not specifically aping Guard but couldn't resist a Commissar:
Very 40k feel to the sculpts.... which surprises me as I do not see any skulls.
Now we know what this sneak peak is from: Looks like part 49 on the above sprue.
Found this on Facebook: Facebook link Appears to be a Reptilian Overlord and WGA collaboration. There is no further information on the Facebook post. Reptilian Overlord is primarily a STL d...
The main reason that Panzer Lehr will look wrong for early war is their tunics, by the way. Which are double-breasted, same as panzer crews (which their uniform was based on). Heer tunics button up...
GEG did themselves no favours with the fairly basic painting done on their example figures, too.
Yeah, I imagine that there's a certain IP line that very likely gets crossed if they were to officially refer to these guys as "colonial marines" or "space marines" or "starship troopers" - I've be...
The Cannon Fodder, "Ooh Rah!", and Operators sets all sound like they'll be fun sets for near-future/cyberpunk wargaming, they'll make great soldiers for skirmishes against zombies and mutant apoca...
The Fantasy Giant Spiders are also aliens, with biomechanical sci-fi options. There was a poll a few months ago where WGA more or less asked for suggestions for alien factions - any time one of WG...
@Charles Tottington Ah, the classic butterface.
Osprey has a new relevant reference on preorder:
@Bill Thomas @Geoff Maybury Speaking of the Falklands, the latest issue of Wargames Illustrated has a nice article on painting British and Argentinian forces:
Very nice. Good job on the fancier hat too. Hopefully Death Fielda brings out a few more Command Squad/Heavy Weapon sets for making fancy characters with soon. Really like having unique le...
I like to think it's one of the "Humanity, F*** yeah!" type situations, where compared to most alien species mankind are ridiculously strong, fast, durable and powerful apex killing machines. &nbs...
@Geoff Maybury Its a Warmchine Cryx Kraken. A couple years back Privateer press was having a blind box sale where you got a starter set, a collosal and another unit or 2 for a steeply discounted pr...
@JTam aww. I guess those are cool... I just want more Death Fields
And the lizardmen. Also, there seems to possibly be an implication of aliens in the cannon fodder.
The classic Citadel Miniatures eastern hobgoblins are my perfect hogoblin. This is the style I'd like to see. They can be used for fantasy or mythic oni/dai-oni.
@William Redford Could you tell me what the Machine Creature? on the right of the Giant Snake, and Giant, is please? The one with the very big gun, and crab claws.
Good grief those faces are hideous! Well looks like the bodies can be used for other things (I hope).
@Wargame News and Terrain Comprehensive. Well researched. Well illustrated with built examples. The single best kit review I have ever seen. Well done. Thank You.
Review of the Great Escape Games female Gunfighters from the current issue of Wargames Illustrated:
I`m very guilty of Knowing little about these ranges, but the fact that the "Ooh Rah`s" are for deathfield, as made me have a look. The back lore is quite interesting, one thing that as shocked me ...
@Red Bee I believe the Valkir are the Valkir Heavy Troopers from the Iron-Core Universe. I liked where your speculation was going though....
@William Redford I believe "Modern 'Operators'" refers to just that..... modern "Operators". AKA Tier 1 "Special Forces" types. There's been some sneak peaks that appear to possi...
I'm a little underwhelmed by the female gunfighters too, as indeed the male box set was very good and allowed a lot of mix and match... the pistols arms seem a bit... well, okay, but nothing more a...
I was surprised to find wiki covers even ooh-rah and hoo-ah for the curious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oorah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooah I wonder if he term “Colonial Marines&r...
I think one of WGA’s strengths is their pricing. They trim costs by skipping things like instruction leaflets, shield transfers and bases which is a bit tough on new folks but really helps ve...
Like I said in the poll thread: I need all Death Fields! The Grognards and Einhenjar are so far my favorite sculpts and getting more of them would make me very happy. I would say I'd prefer to get...
Aside from the Conq cavalry, Ogres and female sets, I am kind of most interested in the army builder sets for Dark age and Rennaisance eras. I mean fantasy would be great too, but nothing has been ...
Cannon Fodder 2: Females T2 I will buy all female sets released as female bits in plastic are somewhat rare. Germanic Warrior Army Builder Layout I can use these in fantasy games... M...
@Red Bee I forgot Grognard Raptor Riders were an option. Now I'm wondering what Einjerjar calvary will be. And if all of the regiments can ride on any of the calvary options. @William Redford From ...
I wouldn't count the ogres out yet - a lot depends on how many votes it gets, and I don't think that a second- or third- or even fourth-place poll result necessarily write a set off from being rele...
I am interested in many things on that list... but am disapointed by the vote/poll. Why? Because it means that landsknecht ogres and Conquistador Cavalry arent guaranteed to be released this year a...
It let you vote for multiple in each category. I voted for "Ooh Rah" since I had no clue what it was and it was the only new one, But otherwise voted the same as charles.
I love all the Death Fields options, and will buy atleast one box of each when they come out. I bounced between Einhenjar, Grognards Raptor Riders, and Ooh Rah for a bit. Honestly, I don't know whi...
@Mark Dewis Where are the female gunfighters from?
So looking at the poll that released yesterday and voting on it, I have a few things to say. First off I am happy to see that Kobolds are an option in the poll, and yes I did vote for them. Second ...
The Treefolk sound like a barrel of fun - like the halflings, it sounds like exactly the sort of offbeat fantasy wargaming kit that almost nobody else is doing (I think Mantic has a set, but I wasn...
According to the latest update, there were some hurdles to clear as their USA manufacturing team caught up on a couple generations of experience with manufacturing that had been ceded to the Chines...
I am really loving the Ooh-Rah set. 👍 Lots of interesting titles scheduled for release. I have no idea when I am going to paint all these. I have been fascinated by the Sepoy Mutiny since I was a ...
