@Hudson Adams About that I had thought, couldn't grandscale Dragonmen and Dog Beastmen double as 28mm kolbolds, (I mean most of the Kolbolds I have are 15mm).

@Steven James No, Hudson has point that is how horses run.
We might be making a good few fantasy sets over time!
@Hudson Adams I love where you're going with the orc teasers! Looking forward to these!
I really like the possibility of building 10mm mass battle armies for Middle Earth! I've been using/learning a game ruleset called Fantastic Battles that I really enjoy.
I think these would work for Warmaster Revolutions and Fantastic Battles. I don't think I would play Aztec lizards but these are two rulesets where you could use Aztec lizard men. I also thin...
@Yronimos Whateley There is only one Hard 28mm plastic set for Native Americans sold by Warlord, they however where for Woodland Amerindians that fought in the AWI, not very Wild West like persay.
Yeah, and in some ways, this kit kind of feels like we're not getting the full sprue it deserves. I'd have to compare it to some of the newer kits by WA to see if it really is smaller, but it...
Looking at the sprue to make that pose one would have to do the following: 1. Cut out the rifle arm by the bodies. 2. Cut that one piece by the elbow and wrist. 3. Carve out the tiny bits of pla...
I like the Dead Man's Hand sets for what they are, but they really do have a chunky, doughy look to them, and are a bit short compared to WA's figures, I think - Dead Man's Hand figures compare clo...
The treaded box-on-wheels is a classic! I considered making some of my own from small-scale model tanks (I was guessing 1/144 might work, but never got around to taking a chance on one), but ...
Thanks! Fireforge it is - I definitely chucked the box and stripped the sprues for parts as soon as I got it, then promptly forgot who made the set! Fireforge's Mongols are a grea...
I'm certainly no expert, but what I've seen of most of the standard-issue fantasy fare - including dwarves and elves - is that they all seem likely to have started their folkloric careers as the st...
Honestly, treaded boxes with miniguns would be cool.
I like to see Wargames Atlantic just get the Japanese range right. Need a box of cavalry with the various arms and the horo that could be attached or glued seperately. The horse pose in the samurai...
A backpack or shoulder mounted modul could fit in as well, maybe with an "rotatable" tip with different tools or weapons. Robotic arms you can find in production lines come to mind... Instead a ba...
@Yronimos Whateley Yeah the gasmasks really are fun and work great for fantasy as well, I kinda of wish they had done something similar for the Goblins though they are good enough the way they are.
@Yronimos Whateley Nice conversions, by the way the only 28mm steppe warriors in plastic currently are Fireforge's Mongols (your model's base body), RGD's Scythians, and Victrix's horse mounted Scy...
@Steffen Seitter If that is truely thier first mention on record, I doubt dwarfs (as we know them anyway) have any real relation to the old Norse myths at all then. I know that in Norway they hav...
@Charles Tottington there actually is, Rangers of Shadow Deep is in the same monster hunting ballpark and uses the same mechanics as Frostgrave, one can even make arguements for Frostgrave itself a...
Exactly - cyborgs are a natural adjunct to the android/robot concept. Even something as simple as including among the robot heads some half-organic heads with enhanced eyepieces or whatever c...
I couldn't agree more that we need Robots and Andriods. I would also go as far as saying we could have the Frame/Sprue design so we could make Cyborgs with other WA releases. Now that would be ju...
Yes, thanks, that’s the one "sniper/active" pose i wanted. I tried different options but almost destroyed the model so i gave up and went for the non-ready posture.
Great idea! You might find some of Reaper's older "Bones" plastic minis useful for this purpose: the older plastic Bones figures are generally pretty inexpensive in Reaper's online stor...
By the way, I can't resist adding that I REALLY appeciate that gas masks and rifles of different types were included in this set, when it would have been extremely easy for WA to have simply made i...
I don't have any inside information, and I'm going to guess that you're referring tot he figure on the far right of this picture: I don't think the part was included in the final set - none of t...
That’s my Alchemist army so far, for the game Hobgoblin, at 3000 points. We can see here : artillery (narrow), chariot (wide), heay infantry (wide), monster (narrow), beast (wide), monstruou...
@Tchey the cylons in Battlestar Galactica could be a good startingpoint too 😄 Or a mobile suit...
I’m still a very novice with miniatures and this kit, but i see my lizardmen more like elite troops, stronger than average human soldiers, faster, deadlier. Kind of Predator-like. In my army...
Hello, Would be neat indeed. I would prefer "humanoid" robots, so kits are more compatible. So, more like prosthetics limbs, not much wheels etc. But a tripod or other weird shaped, yes. Maybe on...
Hello, I’m trying to make a sniper lizard, but i can’t find any body+rifle fitting in a firing position, from the sprue. They are all, it seems, only holding the gun in non-ready way, ...
A neat addition to the space bugs could be some infected troopers. Slowly overtaken by parasites, their appereance changes to something bug like. Bug like heads, clawed arms (maybe an extra arm or...
Well, I've got a LOT of painting ahead of me, NOTHING is done except forone vehicle which is about 90% painted, and i haven't completely assembled most of these vehicles yet, so there's a couple ve...
I don't know about anyone else, but Wargames Atlantic lizard men with batteries of those old medieval Chinese-style rockets seem to me to go together perfectly. Some handguns to go with the long f...
There's a lack of robots indeed! Also for designs you could go wild, mono-wheel-legs (or tripods!), arms with various tools attached or build in weapons!
Robots and androids seem to me like a sorely under-served topic in these sorts of hard plastic kits, I'd definitely get behind seeing more of them! There are a few bits and bobs that I know of out...
I'm loving the airship gunner idea! I'd probably be happy enough with simply the guns and crews to buy the kits eventually, but filling out the sprues with accessories, command and support charact...
Hey all, I would suggest that robots and androids would be a good addition to the Death Fields and Iron-Core sets. Not only that they could be used for interesting game setups, the spare parts wou...
There are some gas mask heads with helms from ghe WWI German set, and the gas mask heads without helmets/caps from the WWI Russians, which would make excellent "generic" Death Fields heads of this ...
The oldest depiction on classic "Dwarfs" is in the middle Period Medieval Poem Nibelungenlied (Song of the Nibelungs) which is from christian Germany. In the NIbelungen, Dwarfs are depicted as smal...
@Brian Van De Walker brotherhood of the wolf probably isn't completely historical, but it was close enough (based on my own studfies of the period and when i watched the film), and honestly did the...
@Brian Van De Walker You've brought up another issue with the whole Medieval Fantasy Monster Hunter idea. The two biggest games we can think of that are Monster Hunter focused are not set in that t...
honestly, a lot of people have been asking for more deathfields upgrade sprues. the one we have mostly is more guns, with a few extra heads. it would be nice to have one with backpacks, pouches, an...
While I'm ranting, female heads for the rest of the sci-fi range would be awesome 3D printed. Raumjager, Grognards, Ooh-Rah, and Bulldogs would also be enriched with some female heads.Everybody lik...
Something just struck me today that would be super useful. A heads pack.I bought a set of the generic #27 head from the Ooh-Rah frame to use on Raumjagers bodies, as they are one of the few head op...
If I get them, mostly Airship gunners to fight my lizardmen, I figure they are going to half sprue the HMG teams together so not a lot of space there. I more looking forward to the Japanese right n...
@Steffen Seitter Perhaps, however most of the classic D&D style fantasy races (or at least a good chunk of the ones that were known about before the AD&D Monster Manual😆) have o...
@Mithril2098 Actually, I am pretty sure that style is pure Hollywood wardrobe with no research, it just fits.
@Mithril2098 I have no idea ! But thanks for asking. It’s for the game Hobgoblin, miniatures agnostic Rank&Flank game, from the creator of Gaslands, Mike Hutchinson. In my mind, it&rsqu...
