It varies from person to person, but for me, personally, it's all about the mechanics, narrative, and the setting.  I've moved into minis-agnostic solo/co-op games; competitive games I tried a...

@William Redford  Ah, that reminds me.  It would be awesome if WGA did a Reiters kit.

@William Redford  I left all my Empire stuff in my Brother's house a few years back.  But I'll rummage through it the next time I visit.   If I have any of those shields I'll s...

I've seen a few folks around here talk about making their own wargames, and we know that WA is working on one or more of their own rulesets. So I thought it might be an interesting place to talk ab...

Were those plastic  Shadowkesh models ever released? They look useful for a varierty of things. 

Ok, that is... terrifying... I am picturing escaped mental patients... ala Silent Night, Deadly Night...  

@JTam The Fireforge Northmen have Sallet helmets... Open faced. I really like then as well. And these guys fit well size wise with the conquistadors. Having an upgrade sprue with some of these and...

For some reason I can only get one photo to save at a time

Got down to my last sprue of Einhenjar and  Ifigured I'd have fun. I ended up liking these so much I might have to pick up another box just to make the whole army themed.   Anyone k...

Been a while since we have seen any updates. The cavalry are in "additional sculpting". @Hudson Adams any additional sneek peeks you can share? Or any thoughts on how many guys you are gonna fit in...

So, the Conquistador cavalry and Landsknecht ogres will be part of this army. I am hoping i can make some pistoliers and/or outriders out of the cavalry.  I am also debating getting some of t...

I would love some landsknechts... Of course I would build yet another empire army with them... Fireforge, old GW empire and the new WA conquistadors all match nicely. The Warlord conquistadors and ...

Yeah... The old empire plastic knight regiment, the militia, the soldiers... I see all go for $100+ I need 10 of the older soldiers shields... (the ones with the molded lion faces)... to finish a u...

Now that I think about it, I may have a new in box, factory wrapped Empire Handgunners kit like that.  Except the box is in German.  Sigh... too valuable to use?  May just hold on to...

@William Redford  I really like sallet helmet. Why?  They look really cool. I think they possibly look coolest without the bevor.  Which combines poor visibility with half...

William Redford has a great thread here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/60988/my-first-conquistadors Looks like WGA Conquistadors are compatible with latest GW Empire kits....

@William Redford  Thank You.  Ah, I didn't realize one arm was molded on the body of these guys: My Empire handgunners are metal or these guys: Who have two arms. (Looking at th...

@JTam Sort of... The GW musket bodies have the left arm built in... so there is no real left arm for the muskets. The GW Muskets are right arms attached to the musket with a left hand attached to ...

@William Redford  Thank You. To clarify:  You can use two (left and right) GW musket arms on a WGA Conquistador body?

@Geoff Maybury @Frank Reischmann  Thanks for sharing these images/info.  I had no idea the Shadowkesh were so tall/big.  I kind of like it.  Certainly lends to their alienishne...

@JTam They seem to be a great match. I havent tried any empire heads yet, but may do so for my general. I have a ton of GW greatsword ... greatsword arms... So may do a unit of those in the future...

The pike block really looks the part! Great conversions. That helmet for the musket armed Soldiers seems like a good choice.  Seems like a solid I don't need as much protection, don't in...

Worked a bit more today. Blocked off the 30 troops for my swordsmen. These guys will be the elite unit in my army. Heavy armor and shields. There are only 2 styles of the armored body (1 of each on...

@Yronimos Whateley I'd be all for an over the top GI Joe game. Bot Wars is slowly becoming my favorite pick up game, and I 100% picked it up based on theming Edit: whoops hit send to early  ...

  I have a PDF with 8 pages, but I can not add a PDF here... I tried to rename it to JPEG, but that not work... I can make hardcopies tomorrow...    

I have a few pictures too...  ... and  last one...

@Red Bee   :D  I think you're right - if you zoom in real close, you can see the "Jon Deere", "Red Man", and "Bass Pro" logos on those caps!  My kinda army!  Here, hold my beer....

I`ve a six page PDF trying to send with this post, not yet quite got the hang of it, I need a child to do it. Geoff.

I love Iron Core the Leviathans, the Space maps, APC, all of it Itook it all in and coppied as much info on the worlds and creatures, from the forum as I had time. Then after making file coppies fo...

Starting to really look like an army.  Nice!

My Pikeman join the shelf. 

More work. Finally finished my Pike. Tomorrow I will start on my swordsman... Delaying my muskets as 2 part arms are the devil! EVIIIIILLLLLLL!!! Anyway the Pike were not that bad. The poofy arm p...

Even the exercise of thinking out a kit bash is entertaining. Say I wanted female Panzer Lehr. These legs: (Remove the center strap on the gators.) Maybe these torsos: (Anybody have a bett...

@Yronimos Whateley  I selected the first option.  As I do enjoy finding solutions to create different troop types or to create a pose I want.   However, option 2 is at least p...

They look interesting, looking forward to seeing a shot of the sprues. Hopefully we'll see an image of the other half of the starter set soon too.

@JTam   True. 😆

@Steven StGeorges  Lots of good ideas. The Land Speeder Scout transport variant is one of the coolest things GW has ever done.  Serious Little Bird vibes.   I picture Bulldog...

@Mumbleford Waits  He does have that corrupt official Boss Hog feel.  

Quick Update: Finished up the Warden Commander for the penal legion. He'll be a junior officer/lieutenant in charge of the platoon. I've always loved this scuplt; its so full of personality. For so...

@JTam   +1 Raumjagers could have something like some kind of Jump or Fly packs since they were paratroopers a long time ago... OR could have access to something like that Fast attack vehi...

@Grumpy Gnome  You don't like crew served battle rattle?  When you need a buddy to get into your sh*t, there is a problem. Have you ever mucked about with East German webbing?  It'...

I agree with your points yet again mate! When I was doing WW2 re-enacting Inreally grew to hate WW2 German webbing. 

I had a grouping of "a little different" ideas for classic fantasy creatures I was working on at one stage, and the dwarves featured. I wanted to see them fill a more early 1800's Western European ...

@Grumpy Gnome  Their P37 "basic pouches" seem a bit flat. I wonder if that is just the nature of the injection molded beast?   I suppose you could rationalize that Commandos wou...

Not papercraft related but cheaphammer. I am waiting for that particular kit , a Meng model unavailable here in Canada -at least from my retailers- for about a couple of years now. As seen there, ...

@Yronimos Whateley  Reference: So close, the answer is Mongolian ;) Hear me out.   The Hobgoblin Khanate is well established in lore: https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/w...

@Yronimos Whateley  Reference: This is interesting.  I'm reminded a little of this exchange in the "Who Want WW2 Axis Cavalry?" thread: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforu...

@Grumpy Gnome I buy sprues on ebay too... But for Wargames Atlantic Sprues @Lord Marcus offers individual sprues for sale on his store site.    Lord Marcus's Store

So, looking, I dont have the new Storm Giant either. If he is 5 inches that 127mm so he would only look small next to the mantic one... He iwould be a little smaller than the giant elephant guy bel...
