You know guys I have been thinking since it has been brought up time and again, why not have the Dwarves and Gnomes be combined into one "fantasy shorties" (probably better titled short folk)...

@Grumpy Gnome ..Even worser my friend: Votann are now the arch-nemesis of Necrons.... just as planned.
@JTam Funny fact is the Cannoness is based on a famous John Blanche artwork from ... 2nd ed: GW just do keep pleasing veterans and bringing back grognards.. after the Squats and the Ash Nom...
Oh wow, I wasn't even thinking of GW's character minis, I was just thinking of the rank-and-file plastic troops, which are bad enough, but nowhere NEAR the price-per-mini we're talking about with t...
@Daniel Lillis they already do human skeletons, short race skellies might be a good idea though. Actually given how kolbolds are rather varied in their depictions, while they should have some tras...
But as a company, they still have to create those moulds. That might partly account for the ratio between troopers and heroes, but it does not account for the ratio between GW and WGA. Main reas...
Before a few years I has found this german project called "The 1st Galactic Ironcore Expeditionary Force"... but most of the pictures are gone... a great painter and so much ideas... https://www....
I`m realy looking forward to that part, with these new ones The grey colour was one force, the green another, and I`ve seen some really amazing urban camo.
YES. And I for one would not at all complain about a Death Fields or Classic Fantasy set of characters dressed in these sorts of elaborate, fancy robes, either, to add these sorts of collars and o...
@Berggeit A good point. But substitute "Tiefling Thief" for "Commissar" and "D&D with minis" for "Imperium" in your statement... and the statement is still true, the mini is just 10 do...
Although the single character miniatures of GW are very expensive (and a lot of their stuff in general) there is a reason for that. How many people are going to buy that commissar? Only people that...
I suspect GW is setting a standard other companies want to emulate thanks to GW publishing record profits year after year.... but GW rarely gets my business. Thank you WGA for making product...
@JTam Yeah, some of G-Dub's prices on special models is downright obscene. Their detail is nice, but so is everyone else's these days. I'll still pick up some GW stuff here and there o...
Wow, Wizkids kobalds are that much, they have not hit my area yet but they are coming. To tell the true I may buy one set but right now it's to high a price for me. I would love to see WGA go down ...
@Yronimos Whateley Reference: Amazingly, this still doesn't come close to GW pricing. Here's a single sprue human sized character with limited equipment choices: You can...
So, I got a different movie review sent to me from my coworker (who saw it with his wife): (Translation: It was extremely good.) Another write up on how metal this movie is: Metal as F ...
@William Redford Nice! The gladiator kit could be executed in much the same fashion. With the saved space you can throw in a tiger ;) Alternatively, one more unarmored body would let...
@JTam the dark age irish have a left arm molded with the bodies as well... this may also free up sprue space for additinal items.
This is an excellent idea. It has potential to be a cross genre Sci-Fi/Fantasy set as well, like the Lizardmen. A few gun arms, a few improvised weapons. Some head options and mutated arms. Odd mut...
I'm fully in favour of plastic gladiators - heaps of conversion potential there. But you may have missed the Wargames Foundry range: https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/gladiators &...
You could even mold the left arm on to most of the bodies (like GW Empire crossbowmen) if one desired. Provides more fluid poses. Adds simplification. Gets a rid of the seam where...
Did a bit of research. I believe all major types of gladiators can be done with one sprue. All the gladiator types are variations on a theme. Almost all types follow these rules: L...
@Brian Van De Walker The second idea there sounds like a great one. Maybe with some bald heads, "barbarian" heads, and generic hoods alongside galidiator helms, with javelins, shortswords, pistols,...
All the different orange juice or iced coffee lids are great. Check out Stokk iced coffe, which has lids with more classical arches rather than gothic, and another orange juice (Minute Maid?)...
Quite proud of this one. Tropicana Orange Juice caps: Make perfect Imperial gothic scatter terrain. You might want to sand down the raised "Tropicana" on top, and/or glue on a disk, or m...
@Yronimos Whateley Come on, you can't just tease a story like that..... ;)
Makes me wonder if there is a market for box of multi-part plastic generic scientists, engineers, doctors and technicians.
@Yronimos Whateley Did you just mention Baltimore randomly? Or are you connected to Baltimore? Just asking as I am here in Maryland. Not Baltimore... though I used to live in Baltmore County.
That's fantastic, @JTam ! Wish I could go into the whole insane story without derailing the discussion, but several years ago I found out the hard way that the Appalachian hills have a much bette...
@Yronimos Whateley Utterly my mind, and with all those little pieces of hard plastic, one should be able to recreate HIM: Klytus is already available from Crooked Dice (RIP Peter Wyngarde by th...
I suspect you would start with unarmored male gladiators as a box, then expand from there. Some of the armored types you might be able to kitbash in the meantime.
@JTam These images you shared makes me hope to see some affordable Werewolf and Minotaur minis from WGA.
Paldroons/shoulder-armor definitely help "sell" a variety of different minis, starting with sci-fi, and going on to heavily-armored fantasy paladins and other warriors, and moving these days into t...
Unbelievable how good they are painted... 😍
At that price, I'd go for pre-paints, or HeroForge to build and pose exactly the character I want. For minis I'd assemble and paint myself, Reaper "Bones" PC and other character minis at Kic...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeh, I am not sure why they think they can justify this price... other than (people will buy it... so charge what we want!" and unfortunatelt that is probably true... at $10......
Mark did Pdf`s, and other forms of weapon explenations, for all his work sadly, my brain can`t remember it all. Which is why I wish to rebuild the "Lore", one of the things that I "Half" remember, ...
More supplemental metal minis: Looks pretty good.
@Benjamin Hayward Good question, most strickly RPG players/GMs seem to prefer prepaints, and the D&D brand is probably why its costs too much.
@Brian Van De Walker well we don't NEED IT... but... ok.,, I guess we don't... :(
Actually SafeHaven Games had a KS for a ruleset, miniatures, and supposedly even a cool arena model. Tragically it didn't launch due to lack of apparent interest. That said as a subject, it would ...
for what it's worth, I think the heads/faces on Wizards 1 and 2 (so male and female) as well as the male knights are fantastic. - The knight's set even has one of my favorite head bits currently ou...
Definitely something that should be on any SF booster sprue. that AND LEFT HANDED PISTOL OPTIONS!!! (With corresponding non-weapon right hand ones). (edit) Actually, I see that North Star have don...
@William Redford Warcry's models are quite rare I may confess. Only seeing some for a few hours before they just disappear in smoke... to reappear on ebay or whatever-buy-me.com. Some folks are mak...
One hack I used to do was to snip the cotton bud ends off used cotton wool earbud sticks, leaving about 5cm of perfectly good ~3mm polystyrene tube. Literally thousands of uses. And helping to keep...
I have not seen it yet but the trailers look good.
Update: https://coffeeordie.com/tom-hanks-wwii-sequels/ Did anyone see "Greyhound"?
@William Redford 35? Ah, shame. I think at this point 32mm can work.... but 35mm is a bridge too far.
@JTam These are nice. But 35mm. I had looked at these back in the day... but felt they were too big. They are lovely though
