@Yronimos Whateley  Just saw that Crooked Dice is having a Kickstarter for some nice retro sci-fi minis. (Nothing scarier than skull faced troopers emerging from Uranus.)   Does t...

@Grumpy Gnome  That rings of truth.

Great write up.  Good points/feedback. Well done on the putty work on the back.  I hope you will be able to post more pics when you get paint on them.

So, let me first start off by saying I really like the over-all design of the lizardmen. I like the asthetic, and I like how they are a very different take on the concept from Games Workshop. It's ...

For reference it would seem GW went with giant eel mounts for their cavalry.  

Mermaids riding fast, strong, and intelligent dolphins as mounts seems like a good fit. For the purposes of a kit, I'm envisioning the mermaids riding atop the dolphins sidesaddle.   An int...

There's the classic Sea Horse mount. And I see why it's popular mount in fiction.  It's literally called a "Sea Horse." That being said (and I hesitate to inject "realism" into a discuss...

@William Redford  Such a good film.

@john Sullivan  Bit of a shame, but I think they are committed to the double bedroll.  (I would have gone with one).  I ASSUME these are being painted for the box. https://wargames...

@JTam well... :) in d&d anyway its "merfolk". Its funny i just re-saw Zoolander this week... :)

@William Redford @Blutze   Please no MerBros.  It's in the name - MerMAIDS. Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.  Merman Pop!  MerMAN!

I do hope they get rid of at least one of the bedrolls. Both gone would be better.

Decided to use the helmets again in conjunction with some reservists to make Persian Riflemen  

@Blutze Yeah. We discussed a bit about empire ogres in this therad:  discussion about empire ogres I think that the kit would be more useful as mixed gender... but wonder if it would make t...

@Blutze well... they did have a recent price hike... The last new kit I got was the Blissbarb Archers for Slaanesh... Retail is $55 for the 10 guys (I think technically 11 as they come with a litt...

Off hand, I can't see it being a roaring success, but on the other hand I didn't see the demand for Landsknecht Ogres coming either. In Warhammer, ogres have been stereotyped as mercenaries for ...

I suppose I could use them in RPG's but dont play many low level games and while a kobold individually can be powerful, you still dont normally find something like that in numbers... There's an ...

A giant war crab would be pretty awesome.  That last crab model with platform that you posted is boss. Good substitute for this thing: The mount clearly gets its own attacks.

J Tam, i am waiting for my new Panzer Lehr figures to arrive and it is great news that you have come up with some designs on weapons packs. I purchased some French WW1/WW 2 figures and they were ex...

My first reaction for the one on the right was also "Oh, more of the warg!"  But yes:  the ear does look different, as does the... fur?  Scales?  Flames?  The further away ...

Crustaceans are naturally armored, so I think would fit well for beasts of war.  Shrimp/ Prawns as cavalry or chariots... Crabs as monstrous cav or crewed beasts...

Just as a thought exercise, if Mermaid Infantry was successful, what war machines or mounts could be made? For mounts and/or chariots how about something prehistoric? For a cavalry mount how ab...

Being also a fan of Mierce Miniatures, this is a great ideia right here.

Kobolds, either in sprue or in regiment, would interest a lot of people. However, I don't think WGA has this in the works.

If Wargames Atlantic made a similar set would it be in the reneissance range or a new asian themed range? 

I'd love to use Kobolds instead of goblins for Kings of War personally.

I am a big fan of Mierce Miniatures’ gorgeous but horrendously expensive Darklands Range, particularly these lads: I’d love to see Wargames Atlantic make an affordable multipart plas...

Greetings fellow Wargames Atlantic enthusiasts! I have been highly impressed by many of Wargames Atlantic’s plastic kits thus far, and am eagerly anticipating those yet to come! Most recentl...

@William Redford  That was my rational. If you using them for your own undersea skirmish game or what not you want them swimming. If your getting regiments worth your probably substituting ...

@William Redford  Oh Wow, Those are pretty legit. Makes me want to play Blood Bowl. But I think your right.  The poses of the minis are such that it should be relatively easy to...

Cute aztec cheerleaders   Considering getting these girls. with the Aztec box a weapon swap shouldnt be too hard...   Fantasy football team kickstarter

The mount vaguely reminds me of the things Nazguls ride.

Will there be Japanese in greatcoats to follow?

Seven models for 50 bucks? Amateurs, they still have a way to go to be as big a rip off as GW.

I've seen WGA brought up in a couple of discussions about the prices of the WizKids Kobold kerfuffle. I'm low key hoping that one of the surprise future releases will be kobolds to take advantage o...

@Charles Tottington I would support WGA making kobolds, but I have never been interested in them personally. I suppose I could use them in RPG's but dont play many low level games and while a kobol...

@Charles Tottington Yeah the GW guys have some fluff that allows sharks and eels to fight on land... if you can get behind something like that, then they can fit fine... if you cant and "magic" isn...

@JTam Lovely yet deadly at the same time.

So.... for any of you guys who saw the prices for Wizkids Frameworks Kobolds and how little you get in the sprue. Do you guys think a Kobold box (and I mean reptilian Kobold) would be a good idea f...

I'm guessing I'm one of the few who'd totally go for a regement of Mermaids. Obviously an option for legs+tails would be a must for battles that don't take place under the sea. You could even add a...

I was all like, "Wait, more translated than Kafka's Metamorphosis?"  Turns out that was originally written in German.

@Jon Birkinshaw  Thank You. Also, I didn't know who Svejk was until now.  Thanks.  The more you know.

They're West Wind G-SHS4 Germans in Forage Cap.

The ear looks different, and appears to be lower on the head.  It looks like a werewolf from an 80's movie.  Or like a White Lion of Chrace, with the pointed humanoid ears.   the o...

seems like a fine idea i might even buy, but i don't see swimming figures being used much. Maybe like sea monster figures legs work better

@Brian Van De Walker think archers were far more common in a late Roman army than black Napoleonic rifleman! They deployed them behind the spear armed infantry so they could shoot  over t...

There is still the usual “last 48 hours” rush to come in. Over the years I found on average 33% comes in the first 48 hours and 33% in the last 48 hours with the rest dribbling in durin...

Surely a dinosaur of some kind?

@JTam  Its hard to hand over sword, bow or axe over the internet, but you have my envy... 😎
