@Slow Painter  Nice conversions! I never knew the reason for pedicures till now: The hazard stripe chain sword looks GREAT on the second model.

I love kitbashing. I am very, very, very limited in my sculpting skills, so the more bits I have, the better.   I like putting things together and ending up with something completely diffe...

It should come as no surprise that I have spent a lot of time thinking about Gnomes. I am inspired by a lot of different Gnomish influences, including World of Warcraft. So steampunk tinkering is s...

This is a request to all you Iron Core Fans and I trully belive their are a lot of us out there. Mark Moondragon had a dream to creat a Universe of models and fiction for those. He was one person w...

You are excused my friend, god they were a trail. have you any more of Marks Info files, from the old blog?. Not all of mine made it to this computer, the old site although still up, but is missing...

@Caratacus the Hittites actually look really good for gnomes.  So i will give my vote for that... but...   if i were to suggest I would either go with a French, 3-musketeer theme. Kind...

@William Redford  https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/67272/gnomes @Grumpy Gnome I think you'll like this too

As the result of discussion on this thread https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topics/index/44361/dwarf-ideas with @William Redford, I have developed this separate thread to discuss the...

With North Star, Fireforge and others, there's a serious glut of inexpensive plastic humans, dwarves and elves out there. And as others have said, most historical pre-modern kits are good for human...

Right now, Space Westerns are pretty well catered for, and you have an easy mashup with parts from the Dead Man's Hand kits. Robots or would be top of my list, though Space Kitties or Space Dogs w...

Anyone using CAD to sculpt can move to hard plastic relatively easily. The sculptors that still do it by hand may not be able to convert as easily - my guess is that Hasslefree, Copplestone and Fou...

@Geoff Maybury  Added some Stryker and MRAP photos here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/53697/museumhistoric-sites-displays-photo-thread Though honestly I think they ...

More Germany..... Strykers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stryker Stryker VS MRAP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_MaxxPro  

That's true - I think I just trend towards the conservative in thought about smaller games companies, and what they can invest in. But WA now having thier own means of production should help that a...

Some more stuff: Frostgrave barbarians, Stargrave gun arms, WGA Lizardmen heads for some tough looking alien goons: Heads from the Frostrgrave Barbarian sprue on Stargrave Crew. In my Traveller...

Thank you. Cannon Fodder bodies, Stargrave Crew heads and arms. Shoulder pads are from the Panzerjagers, the star badge is from the Dead Man's Hand Gunfighters. Barely visible on their rear left be...

@Mark Dewis those are awesome. 

The Space Cops I made up last week:

I like the Stargrave kits. They suit general SF gaming - I'm mostly using them for the Traveller RPG - but you have to consider how young Stargrave is. The three kits issued at launch are basically...

@Brian Van De Walker style wise, sure. I would still argue they are more similar than not, even down to the aspect warrior training camps vs the elves units (lion, Phoenix, etc) but again that...

@William Redford Bro, I own examples of both and the 40k elves are very clearly space Japanese (they have Katanas, nagitanas, shurikan gun and samurai flags, not to mention the body hugging armor),...

@Caratacus Actually VSF /steampunk gaming tends to be more in the mid19th to early 20th century (mostly Victorian and early Edwardian same time frame as the Sherlock Holms stories) and so too are...

@Brian Van De Walker  The only non traditional dwarves I ever really liked were the Gully dwarves from Dragon Lance... but like I said, I'm not really passionate on the subject.   Now ...

@Benjamin Hayward I agree they should be done with cross genre gaming mind, I also feel the same way about the other classic races (ie the WFB/LOTR races) particularly since blackpowder fantasy set...

Oh and I do enjoy some Weird West dwarf... Reaper produced one model I am using with very light conversion in my neo W40K setting.. the famed Olav Gunderson Dwarf Gambler

Kickstarter link This looks really awesome. Figured someone might be interested. I know Paolo Parente had some of these characters in a guest box In Zombicide Black Plague.., which i do have and t...

@Benjamin Hayward  As a matter of facts, I do like the WFB 2nd Dwarves because they were supposed to be quite a motley race depending of the human civilization they lived close to. So: Kar...

@Caratacus ... :( we were promised a gnome thread... I see no gnome thread! you tease! 

The balancing act is that the dwarves would need to be unique enough that it would give people a reason to buy them over whatever is already available, and be something that people would ...

@Steven StGeorges those alpine gnomes are interesting. Undead gnomes too. :)

.. and speaking of Gnomes, just pay a visit to Old School Miniatures and be amazed: https://www.oldschoolminiatures.co.uk/alpine-gnomes-3-c.asp Oh and check their Chaos Dwarves range... so funky ...

@William Redford  No trouble about Mr Redford. They are awesome sculpts when compared to old C Series or N14 Ogres. The Mongol look was already part of the latter by the way, mixed with some ...

@Steven StGeorges The GW mongol ogres... I actually like them... I know, I know... I am not sure why i like them, but I do... :(

Japanese Dwarf? Like that one taken from DakkaDakka forum I think Citadel released a Ninja Dwarf too...  Could be interested in a Japanse Dwarf army...  @William Redford  But O...

@William Redford It'll be easy enough to make Gnomes distinct from Halflings (beards and normal sized, booted feet rather than pudgy round faces and unshod Hobbit feet), Dwarves less so, but pointe...

@Caratacus Oh, and I voted for Landsknecht ogres. As to why? The idea does seem absurd, but I remember the old GW empire army book had an option for Ogres. The thought of brutish ogres serving in ...

@Caratacus Now gnomes would be fun. But they would have to be distinct enough from dwarves as well as WA and Mantic's Halflings. You should start another thread with your ideas for gnomes. Maybe ma...

I like my Dwarfs (with Warhammer Fantasy Dwarfs being my first ever miniature army and Middle-Earth Dwarves also having a big place in my heart, I would be a hypocrite not to say it), but I honestl...

@Grumpy Gnome Aha, I've noticed Koyote's Irish chariot was made for use in the early Dark Ages/late Antiquity, i.e. Arthurian era, for use in SAGA's Age of Invasions rules. That makes sense gi...

@Lord Marcus will probably need 2 more boxes, but not anytime soon. But when I do, it will likely be from you. 

@Caratacus I actually havent given it much thought. I have a box of Irish and still have 2 full sprues left. I didnt really have a purpose for them when I got them, but the models look great so i ...

@Brian Van De Walker All that sounds good. But, would wild west dwarves or Japanese Dwarves be attractive enough that people would buy them? Or buy them in the numbers that viking dwarves would be?...

I am not sure about historical accuracy but if you like coolthentic Irish, I would recommend looking at Koyote’s work over on Lead Adventure. His WGA Irish may be of particular interest here....

I'm pleased these have finally been released. I'm not fond of the Imperial look of some of the heads, but I'm sure some of the heads have helmets that are closer to the Iron Hills Dwarves from the ...

@William Redford Which faction do you intend to use the chariots for? Because I think only the Picts still used Chariots by the time of the Dark Ages/Early Medieval period. I thought the Irish only...

@Brian Van De Walker I think that makes more sense given the whole premise of those firearms was to allow the Lizardmen to be customised to be enemies in Colonial-era warfare for games like In Her ...

@Brian Van De Walker Thanks for clarifying, I'll certainly be interested to see the full extent of these differences when the Army Builder set comes out.

@H M GW haven't done very much for their Empire range at all since AoS came round, and given Cities of Sigmar is just a 'catch-all' army list for all the legacy Fantasy stuff that they're not inter...

@William Redford Thanks!

do you happen to need more conquistadors?
