"The Lost Continent" (1968) - a desultory tramp steamer full of dangerous explosives is stranded in a "lost continent" of deadly man-eating Sargasso Seaweed with the wrecks of antique sailing ships...

I agree with @JTam - looks like a fine homage to the Aliens Colonial Marines, by way of "heroic" 40k proportions. I'm not sure that's meant to be a rail on top of the handgun, but a barrel shroud...

These look fantastic!  I haven't tried kitbashing those apocalypse survivor bits to the Wargames Atlantic Afghans yet, but I have kitbashed them onto Eisenkern figures of all things, and can c...

I think they look fine, and they look like they would be broadly useful for a variety of sci-fi purposes other than Death Fields Raumjager, such as Eisenker, as mentioned by John WIlson.  The...

The old Catachan Codex was a really nice little booklet. I'm not saying if you Google "Codex Catachan PDF" you can download it... but you can.   It had interesting stuff on making jungle ...

Well, currently we have for all total death fields kits: US marines (WIP) Frenchmen Germans Brits Viking Dwarves (Transhuman) Landsnecht Ogres (Transhuman) (WIP) Whatever the cannon fodder a...

What exactly is a source book? I'm unfamiliar with the term.

I have to agree that I thought Top Gun was a great movie. I remember loving it as a kid, and that seemed to be a pretty common opinion. I havent seen the new one, and while I probably will at some ...

@Benjamin Hayward @Danforth Laertes  What! What! What! ;) The F-14 cures ED in men and infertility in women.  This is science.  

Top Gun is a terrible movie. Top Gun: Maverick is very good.

Thanks for the quick review mate. Sorry to hear it was not your cup of tea. Sounds like it would not be mine either.

I'm not a fan of the original, but this is a phenomenal movie!

Nice to have two bites at the cherry, so to speak. Cheers Guys

Hi all this is out my comfort zone, but I`d hate any one to be in the same posistion I was in the other day.  Sunday after a lot of thought I ordered the wargame Black powder Red Earth, peopl...

I don't think it looks that bad. And this is only the early concept. The screaming heads do look off though.

In sci-fi I voted Grognard Raptor Cavalry. I like others am interested to see what WGA mean by 'Raptors' here. I hope they are not direct Velociraptor carbon copies, because we already have Warhamm...

@Battle Specter  Reference: I think this kit is a pretty firm homage to the Colonial Space Marines from Aliens. (Which is awesome).  Consequently the equipment and armor is taking its...

It might be there is no plan for anything other than a series of models that can be used as proxies for Warhammer 40K Imperial Guard . . . rules writing is hard and it is the thing people...

Complaint 3 on the way the combatant is carrying the weapon particularly in conjunction with the perceived recoil: This guy is shouldering his weapon a little awkwardly.   But frank...

Reference rifle complaints, let's take a look at the rifle and address them point by point. Complaint 1: Because 40K.   A more detailed answer?  Because anything that can prox...

I really like this set only thing I`d like to see implimented, is scaled down a bit weapons. Want to really make my day scale a set to World at war scale, to go with Iron Core etc.

I'd been planning on using these with the Eisenkerns due to them both being germanic factions.  Left to right.... Missile Launcher, its been suggested that they stick a shield on the front t...

I think they look alright, except for the mortar. That looks off some how.  And the heads, I am not a fan... but that is a purely aesthetic opinion. It is easy enough to kitbash convert with ...

I keep hearing positive reviews. The original is a classic as far as I am concerned to hear it has surpassed that is a pleasant surprise. 

@JTam Agreed on the pistol comment. Also, I really feel like we'll be a little farther than slightly better Kevlar helmet in 200 years. Why aren't these guys kitted in light powered armor? Then the...

First thoughts- they look great. Rolled sleeves? Check. Disgruntled look? Check. They look like peeved Devil Dogs who are missing out on some sweet libbo and are gonna take it out on someone as a r...

Are you ready to take the highway to the danger zone?  Are you ready to take an explosion of awesome to the face? Then take yourself to Top Gun: Maverick. I just saw it in IMAX and it was ...

@Mark Dewis  Fantastic post.  Fact filled.  Well reasoned.   I appreciate the info. I found an account where an aviator describes being forced down among the trenches wit...

From Facebook: ...... Damn.  I don't want to be a Negative Nancy but these look awful.  Like really bad.  They look like 1977 Star Wars Stormtrooper weapons that got rejec...

Nicely done conversions.  They look the part.   Thanks for sharing them.  Like the unpainted picture showing the parts and green stuff and the picture showing the subsequent pa...

@Mark Dewis the dark age Irish have a ton of interesting bits, but keep in mind they don't have any left hands (or arms) since those are molded to the bodies. 

If you want your lizards with spear and shield, or sword options but don't like the tribal or Aztec look, consider pretty much any kit with bare arms. Among the WGA kits, there are some suitable ar...

These are an old Wargames Factory project, using their Persian bodies and weapons from the Female Apocalypse Survivor kit. The latter is still available from Warlord Games under their Project Z lin...

Here are old WGF Persian based ninjas I did back in the day, prior to green stuff:

Gray For Now Games posted this size comparison: Warlord Games's "Blitzkrieg German" on the left, Gray For Now/WGA minis center and right. While the WGA offering has more realistic proportions, ...

Reference: Well, let's take a look: Looks fine to me. Reference what's "going on at the front."  Looks like a common white light/IR light/visible laser/IR laser combo.  The Army is...

@Grumpy Gnome  Reference: Great ideas.  A guy chucking a drone in the air would be cool.   I like a lot of the ideas from the fantastic Eisenkern Command Set. Particular...

@Grumpy Gnome  Reference: That is based off the premise that the Grognards and Bulldogs are "cultural paradies" which I don't think they are.  The kits are "semi-historical" and refle...

Poll results update: Not surprised by the Sci Fi results.  Both those sets promise to be amazing and have broad appeal. The fantasy results make sense to me too.  The Landsknecht Ogre...

I love how the Marines look, I find the guns a bit  bulky for my preference.  Oddly enough it's the same with Cannon Fodder, guns are just a bit too bulky.

A 1:35th scale Lorraine 38L (much incomplete and converted) as a Chimera equivalent.

@Grumpy Gnome that is a very interesting take on how history is made. Dark, but interesting. And I think I probably lean more towards that take.  fir the record, :) I don't think Somali ...

@Frank Reischmann Actually they along with Eisenkern are an older than WGA concept developed by Mark Mondragon for his company DreamForge games but didn't really make it into the hard plastic stage...

I believe from earlier discussions that the magazine on the rifle is for the grenade launcher rather than the rifle itself. That could have changed of course. Most of the front bulk is I believe (...

Fascinating discussion folks. I will admit that as much as I think the Conquistors are interesting, I do not find them as cool as I did in my youth. I was once very mislead in the understanding of...

FYI @Wargames Atlantic, I need to know when these are coming because imma need A METRIC TON.

@JTam that's ok. Our opinions are what make us. Disagreeing is part of that. My opinion, normal people are driven in to non normal situations everyday. From a mother fighting off a bear to sav...

@William Redford  Have to disagree with you.  Some men are braver and more driven and they make "history".  There are indeed a lot of "normal" men and absolutely no "history" would ...

The Conquistadors were certainly not the good, guys not even from the perspective of the spanish. They wiped out a society of scientists (The Inca) for basically no reason and ruined spain's econom...

@JTam normal men did this everyday.  And continue to do this. The world is made of normal men. The fact that they do extraordinary things is what makes history. And any person has it in t...
