Found this brief review of Wargames Altlantic's French Infantry 1916-1940:
Firelock posted an update... They are still in track for Aug-November... They showed a sprue shot of their Militia set. These are rumored to be made by Wargames Atlantic, but no confirmation still ...
@John Wilson Thanks!
@Yronimos Whateley Mantic upped their prices recently, I was lucky enough to buy several of the old GCPS boxes (that came with 5 sprues, metal commander, 2 mortars and 2 HMGs) at a discount as they...
@JTam I bought a few sprues in a sprue sale and just got around to using them. They suffer from very fragile legs in the sheep and pigs. They really need to come on a base, due to how thin and frag...
@John Wilson Super Mutants... brilliant idea! 👍
@Grumpy Gnome Looking forward to those raptors, both the riden cavalry, and the wild. Note feed your raptor, least it feeds on you, late cavalry byline.
@John Wilson Reference: I have a sprue of the Warlord farm animals I got during one of their sprue sales. I haven't done anything with it yet though. What makes it a poor effort?&n...
Modern Operators, Brought Black Powder Red Dawn so it`s a no brainer. Iron Core Valkir, got the bird transport. Ooh Rah , can`t resist Farm Animals Eileen would be very sad, if ididn`t, and they...
Another lore update. This time on travel sized abomination thinking machines. (Isn't that one of the robots zipping about during the Anakin Vs Kenobi lava fight?)
@John Wilson Hit the nail right on the head, look really good for anyone out the Vat, or wired, "Long live Shadowrun". So many conversion possibilities for these boys, wonder when?
I almost thought for a moment these were the previewed kit I'm assuming are "Ooh Rah!", but yeah, these are definitely something else entirely. Very interesting - I wonder what else (if anyth...
I'm not on all the social media for Wargames Atlantic (I'm canceled from Twitter and Facebook), so it's possible some of the fluff has gotten by me, but as near as I can tell, Wargames Atlantic are...
Well I found my Super Mutant types, they also might make good ogres in shadowpunk games.
Cannon Fodder females, I've a load of the males so I'll be picking up a box at least. Great vault dweller types for fallout games or as hazmat teams with spaceship helmet. Cannon Fodder command an...
@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...
