@William Redford Got my shipment notice too. Must have been a big mail day at WGA. I was wondering which box was holding up the shipment.
Sneak peak from 18 MAR 22: The right thing looks like it might be more of the wolf / warg? posted earlier: The thing on the left is very interesting. Sci Fi or Fantasy monster cavalry o...
They even have scythemen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythemen
Got a notice that my Conquistadors and Aztecs have shipped!!!! Soon!!!
Update, 30 miniatures in the game. 18 Germans and 12 SAS.
Yeah there were definitely misteps on this campaign. The Valkyries are delivering before the Arivises but were not really shown or mentioned at launch. They have actual sprues of the Valkyries but ...
The first few days of the campaign were plagued with problems. Hopefully a lot of the people who passed early on will take a second look in the last couple days and decide to pledge.
@Yronimos Whateley That's quite the post Brother. Lots of good info there. I'll be honest, I'm a little emotionally exhausted post read ;) Thanks for the trip back into childhoo...
@david phillips I'll give it a try. The head is obviously from the Grognard kit. Cape from the Irish? A musket or rifle with spike bayonet on the base... Prussian? Not sure o...
Some nice inspiration here: 1920 Bitwa Warszawska / 1920 Battle of Warsaw Shame there's no subtitles. Still, it LOOKS good.
@William Redford Yeah, it's weird to me. There's complete nonsense that funds way faster than this. Hopefully everyone decides to sh*t rather than get off the pot this week and p...
This would be an amazing expansion. German Brandenbergers capture the Maikop oilfields from the Soviets with a mix of guile and direct action.
7 days left on this and still $9000 ish off. Not sure if this will fund. If it doesnt that leaves me more money for Bones 6, and Fireforge Samurai... but I hope this does fund.
Show her this: Problem solved.
Some great WW2 vehicle museum shots on this blog... https://trainstanksandplanes.com/history-on-wheels-museum/
I find the Naiads go well as low budget Sci Fi aliens. I just snip the arms off the crossbows, and a bit of the tip. I tried using one of the arms, reversed and glued near the trigger, ...
@Grumpy Gnome Yeah the Nemarti (GW) guys are expensive. I think on discount they are liek $45 for 10... I dont really like the more aquatic stuff in that range... like the turtle or eels or sharks....
Without any doubt, Hector, seconded by Sarpedon. Why? Because Hector is the human heart, the mortal man at the heart of the Iliad. He's not a demi-god like Achilles or Aeneas (or Sarpedon, for th...
I am not fussed about the veil and I have been trying to convince Mrs. GG we need a sprue of those desert warriors... so far she is not convinced. She is more a fan of the Valkyries. We still need ...
We have a bunch of those Mantic Naiads we won cheap on eBay. I thought maybe we could convert them to some sort of alien race for sci-fi gaming. The sculpts are again a bit soft/shallow and I am no...
@William Redford Yeah..... the Mantic sea people offerings aren't really inspiring to me.
Those Mantic plastic Naiads were first. As cool as those creepy things are, I think WGA would be missing a trick to release a box set of mermaids that didn't in some way resemble a pissed-off Arie...
Mermaids... now that really is “thinking outside the box”! I like it.
I would get a couple boxes... They would be useful in converting other minis in to females... and I can use them in RPGS... I have a couple boxes worth (though in the KS they came in clear plastic ...
Great topic! Here in the USA for a while there, it seemed like credit card companies were sending me unsolicited mail on a pretty regular basis trying to get me to sign up for their cards,...
@Grumpy Gnome I'm going to try the pen technique. Thanks!
@BS Kitbasher Ah, wasn't familar with Mantic's Trident Realms. Did they copy GW, or did GW copy them on this army? I think you're right that extra bits like crabs and squids could mak...
Maybe some Lovecraftian Deep One options? Seems like I've always found mermaids vaguely spooky, thanks to running into pictures of the Sea Bishop and Fiji Mermaid in old books before discover...
I'd get a sprue or two for sure. I'd get more if the sculpts are really exciting or they can be used to make alien conversions. Not only could they work for the Sea Elves, but also for ...
@Benjamin Hayward Similar to the coolest mermaid scene I know of, the one in "Pirates." (The Disney one, not the other film series.)
Personally, not for me, although I could see using them in a scenario where my crew is on a ship traversing dangerous waters and is attacked by hostile sea-dwellers. I'd want mean, scary merm...
@Miyuso With small pockets to glue in common diameter magnets in the torso and legs / tails?
Depending on equipment you could almost have a sprue with both fish tails and legs
Took the kiddo to see Mermaid Magic! at the local aquarium this week. It blew her little mind. And honestly, it was pretty cool for an adult. It's about as close to seeing a real ...

@JTam it's some usb camara it's the best i got but i'm not the best with technology. It's supposed to auto focus but I find it doesn't work great. let's try again
@Forrest Wentworth I mostly posted it do to the cool factor. I priced out a full blown module at around $6,000. Still, if you have more money than space it's a neat solution.
They just look so short and squat. It's not so bad on the ones covered in armor with helmets, but I'd consider most of these undesirable purchases. I felt pretty burned by the Mongols, ...
The GCPS sprue is very useful, since it gives you enough arms/weapons to equip them as Marines (open helmet) or Rangers (enclosed helmet, heavier rifle and jet pack). You also get a flamer and gren...
@Grumpy Gnome Good to know. Thanks. You paint the eyes? Impressive.
I love how they look glued bottom-to-bottom to make Sci fi barrels. They remind me of the conveniently phaser-proof storage containers from TNG's shuttle bay.
Another piece of really useful trash is the plastic soft drink twist cap (and the ring that attaches it to the bottle): For starters the cap itself is a pretty decent container for mixing a quic...
@JTam Wow. Ridiculously cool concept. But did you look at the price? Ouch. The little foldaway station by itself was almost $600.
