@JTam bro, you are so wrong on that (if button counters can count they will🤣). Most likely though it really is one those "each weapon and armor piece  is unique to the fighter" things since ...

@Brian Van De Walker - I gotta agree completely that including a handful of cyberpunk heads in any modern/near-future kit, from Yakuza to operators to civilian anything would surely satisfy a LOT o...

@Yronimos Whateley  there is no need to attack people for what they think about one of the options in the poll. There are plenty of reasons why someone may find "Terrified Civilians (no weapo...

i mostly picked the 'third world' forces, with a few near future things i thought would sell well. pretty much every moderns ruleset i've heard of in 28mm has focused on peacekeeping ops, anti-ter...

@Grumpy Gnome That actually looks exactly right (or close enough for me). So Decline and Fall.

Great catch, Grumpy - that looks a little closer to me than any of the alternatives suggested for the Mystery Puttee - I don't think anyone has suggested Romans yet, and Wargames Atlantic does have...

Screaming helpless civilians?  I didn't vote for them, but promoting and celebrating atrocities is not really the first place my mind goes.  Maybe it's a generational or cultural thing, b...

@Geoff Maybury  Ha, after the first day,  the survivoirs would likely get weapons real quick (of course a lot them would be "dated", melee or likely explode in their faces🤣): Also it ...

Wastelanders are great, be they inspired by Mad Max, Wasteland, Fallout, Stalker, Metro 2033, Deathlands, The Walking Dead… Lasgun weidling people wandering the wastes makes me think of Dune...

@Blutze   That guy is on preorder this weekend.  Ouch.  The answer is $50.00.

I'd really love some Cyber Punk options and Police options. I really want to kit bash a cybernetic-poloce force for Death Fields and name them Coppers.

@William Redford  The head ornament being huge in relation to the wearer is actually a huge bonus ;)  I would totally use it. The importance of a character is in direct relationship to ...

@William Redford I hate you! 😝 I've been trying to find those mechs and crawler monsters and none of the Dollar Trees in my area have been getting them in stock!  

Another weekend, so more work... I started on another unit of Arquebusiers. This will be another 20 man unit in 2 ranks of 10.  @JTam had me looking through my bits box... and I found WGF Nu...

@JTam Sort of. The helmet is actually about the exact same size... But... the Head ornament would look really huge compared to his tiny halfling body... so I dont think I will use it.   I d...

If you still have a gas stove without an electric lighter (or one that works consistently) you might use matches. Matches are really useful building materials if you have the patience to use them, ...

Drones would also be a great addition to these kits.  Both flying and ground varieties would be very much welcome!

@Steven StGeorges I have tried using bluestuff for the initial torso mould I have created based on a simple torso I sculpted with greenstuff, but it didn't work as well as the two part silicon putt...

Whilst still having a little time before I cook tonights meal, Civilians in whole would be nice if the set had, Male, Female, Children, in all types of poses, even sitting down ( car drivers). The ...

@JTam Gota think that the quote is more akin to a film or book. The civilians running from the zombies or aliens and is a way of simplifing the fighting man, and the non combatant. I actually want...

Demon worshiping cultists/renegade militia.  Pls and thank ;)

@William Redford  Winning! Is that helmet roughly the right size?  You got Halflings vs. GW heroic so it's hard to say without actually comparing.  

Unarmed civilians made me think of operation last train and similar where the games are focused on saving civilians from aliens (or zombies, mythical creatures etc). I never made any connection to ...

I went with the armed civillians for stuff like partisians and modern styled fraeteris militia. And also power armor and all varieties of alien, I actually voted for a lot of stuff that I forgot th...

@lauregami Thats is part of the reason why I voted Yakuza and skipped all the "civilians", but mostly I figured having a cellphone pose arm and a couple of free hand arms and your done with unarme...

@JTam  guess what I found in my bits box! :)

@JTam "German Nun Paratroops of course" Sorry couldn`t resist.

@Eric Howanietz Oh, I think those are macedonian helmets, which are actually a Hellinist Western thing they exported everywhere. Also no offense but I am tired of stolen scrap gear goblinoids, besi...

I was working on a Gripping Beast Late Roman yesterday and noticed it had leg wraps with bows like the WGA sneak peek leg wraps.  

@Yronimos Whateley  The front handgrip, drum or box magazine, and cooling fins designate the original models c.1921-42. The military adopted this pattern in 1928 as the M1928A1, with the simp...

@Charles Tottington    link to the Google doc?  Here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeip3MrzjJPjJRYdxEGFy4MIcY7cbNM9wJ6-cqOOQhuIRWz4g/viewform?fbzx=-7964966999195317727...

@William Redford  That's already looking pretty boss. @Blutze   Great ideas.   It's a shame there isn't a zillion of these sprues floating around everywhere anymore: The neck...

Hmm. IDK. Maybe. Are the lizards stable by virtue of tail?

Fiddly as they are, they are the cheapest artillery on the market There's a cannon without any crew in Black Scorpion's pirate line that sells for 5.5€. Missing all the crew and terrain bit...

Having only looked at the images on my local store's website, I think the shieldmaidens are supposed to be female dwarves. May end up talking a greenskin coworker into getting the bolt thrower and...

Dunno if I'd wanna buy two kits to build a single unit, and unfeathered shieldless mazticans are also kinda unlikely to show up in my campaign. But then again, this might still be cheaper than GW s...

Wargames Atlantic already makes medium-sized goblinoids though. I'll be painting mine in orange-brown-yellow-something as hobgoblins for sure. Granted, D&D 3.x is less specific about the gear, ...

Not sure if this is a fantasy perspective or a DM perspective, but I didn't have an immediately negative reaction to scared/fleeing civilians. Dark elves slaughtering recently captured slaves to de...

I hoped to use the plastic tubes that come as protection on decent paintbrushes for something, but at least this very clear one I tried didn't get glued with butyl acetate and instead got permanent...

A plume? A big one, like on the 6th edition empire knights or the current Perry men at arms. Alternatively, whatever big joustey crest belongs on a great helm... except a cludgy rural imitation of ...

@JTam Demigryphs can have full command. I am probably not going to do my bear unit after all though, as I dont think I will have shelf space... and you reminded me that I am only allowed one shelf ...

I almost forgot! Don't forget those gnome looking helmets or hats with hobgoblins. Makes them look all threatening and phalic.  The Samari helms are cool but this gnome looking thing is still...

I wanted to have a halfling general on a griffin. I got a wizkids griffon (it was cheap) and have been wanting to get some goblins to use the mount legs. Well I got a sprue (finally, had been consi...

Hobgoblins really do need some nice recurve horse bows, kris knives, and simitars. I do vibe with the Mongolian theme. One of the tics in my personal Fantasy lore is that Hobgoblins are the only Gr...

I dont really have a lot to add to this. I think mashing cultures is always interesting and would help people get a feel (imagined) for the culture of the Hobgoblins. Though I am sure there are som...

@lauregami If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... maybe you can hire the A-te... err Mustafarian flea riders.  These were the pre-painted starwars figure...

@lauregami I'ed rather have Three Wheeled Sail Skiffs or Dragon Knight Raptors then, Beetle Mounts.

@Benjamin Hayward I'd love a civillian box for modern, fantasy, and sci-fi, along with post apopcalypse.

@BS Kitbasher Link please since I can't access it from either Microsoft Edge or Firefox.

So in another thread hobgoblins got brought and I think they deserve there own thread. So lets start, now among the suggestions made where them Japanese (D&D style) or Mongolian (WFB), but why...
