@Steven StGeorges Interesting trailer. Unfortunate thumbnail though.... Looks like something that needs a Brazzers logo.

@Caratacus Number of bodies and weapon options. ABs should have more bodies with less weapon options and the standard boxes should have more weapon/pose options with less bodies.
I'm not sure if I brought this up before ;) but some 28mm plastic Viking Shield Maidens would hit the spot. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/57522/what-dark-ages-sets-would-...
@Steven StGeorges I have... Though I preferred the Ventrue... The example in dark ages where they would trap enemy swords by letting themselves be impaled with them...
@William Redford A Brujah my friend... if you ever played Vampire The Masquerade. Let's hope that movie is going to as be good as the13th Warrior, the awesome Valhalla Rising or the Last Ki...
The Dream Forge Blog site is still up. http://dreamforge-games.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-state-of-dfg-as-business.html?m=1 Interesting stuff. Learned a lot about plastic kit making. Ei...
@JTam Just cause of your posts about Mordheim: Lustria - The Cities of Gold, I am thinking to add some Amazonian/Lustrian territory to my Scifi campaign setting.. using Stargrave rules to p...
I am a huge fan of 1969 Play Dirty, with 1970 Kelly's Heroes and 1969 Battle of Britain, I am watching once a year -quite a guilty pleasure I have to confess- the movie based on the exploits of uni...
So it's evidently a miniseries, Band of Brothers style? Based on this book: SAS: Rogue Heroes Book
@JTam GW is GW: we are mere mortals -and walking purses- to her. GW is known to defend her IP whatever the cost: remember the Pauldrons or the Space Marine case ? Problem is most of all WF...
It looks good. The director's done some of my favorite recent movies, so I'm looking forward to it.
I think it's just a humorous more or less coincidence. For those that didn't watch Trueblood, Alex Skarsgàrd plays a old Vampire / former Viking who goes by the name Eric Northm...
@JTam True Blood reference or same character? I'll admit i thought the same thing when i saw the trailer.
Not going to lie, this looks pretty good from the trailer. The Northman Trailer Staring The Queen's Gambit: Bjork!!!: Nicole Kidman as Hamlet's Mom: And even more starring Alex Skars...
@JTam while they didnt redo models for AOS, most of the stuff they have released is not really similar to the old Warhammer Fantasy stuff either. Stormcast... Ogre sized guys in full armor... Nema...
@Steven StGeorges What I was trying to say with: Is that there are a lot of minis from WFB that survived the transition to AOS all the way to today. Empire State Troops. Empire Gre...
@JTam AOS did start with "You-could-use-your-minis" (excepted if you are playing Bretonnian and Tomb Kings) slogan... to appease the raging droves of WFB fans. AOS should be understanded as...
A new production "SAS: Rogue Heroes" is coming out. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10681111/SAS-Rogue-Heroes-trailer-new-drama-Peaky-Blinders-creator-Steven-Knight-released.html ...
@Steven StGeorges I'm not sure that's necessarily true. They haven't redone all the old Warhammer Fantasy Battle miniatures for Age of Sigmar. I don't know why they would redo them fo...
the shields and heads adapt fairly well, but the arms come with the fact you will have an extra armored arm which might work well with scrap themed units which is what i've been doing but not neces...
@JTam They are going to redo (or "update" in GW slang) every single model ... since GW do not own IP over the Perrys' creations and GW want to attract Total War players to her customers bas...
@Yronimos Whateley So more like Aly Morrison's C36 Hobgobelins mixing various elements from Far-eastern countries -Mongolia and Cathay?
@JTam Such models could be adapted to any setting thanks to ... WGA upgrade sprues... 😁
@Steven StGeorges You know they're good when they get a nickname like that. https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2017/08/12/reiters-in-french-service/ (The "caracole" - method of delivering vol...
@William Redford Thirty six or so Pistoliers romping around the battlefield (harassing, misdirecting, getting in opportunistic flank and rear charges) would be awesome.
The Dark or the Devil's Riders as we French used to call them during the Wars of Religion could be a nice addition to any historical AND fantasy army. A MUST-HAVE.

@William Redford Try any second-hand websites -depending where do you live. I managed to buy a couple of Kharodran Arkanaut Ironclad NOS for 80$CAN each instead of 160 each but they ar...
To think of this race feral or Full Blood in combat imagine 8-9ft gaint with the speed of a cheeta gliding on scates. D20 system they would be total death at close range and those Lances fire a pul...
@Estoc We are trying all ways, sadly it could be my lake of computer skills.😕
@JTam Hi guys, strugling to get these eight pages, I`ve got them on a PDF and it looks like its going to be a swine to do. I`d say that Frank Reischman and myself have the same one of us mus...
@Stephen Sutton I agree with you. Which is probably why I don't generally get excited about dwarves. Either they look like dwarves and there are already a ton of them out there... or they don'...
I think if you stray too far away from traditional viking-style dwarves then they're not really dwarves any longer, and they become "what if X-but short?", which is gimmicky and likely to appeal to...
This would easily be a 3 box purchase from me... definitely need some pistoliers.
First thing first, never played a wargame... yet... but what I am looking for in games is that they aren't overly complex, that is as close to 1:1 and have some story/aesthetic. I can forgo 1:1 wh...
Well, I am currently very interested in Pike and Shot warfare and they would certainly be great for an Conquistador themed Roguetrader Warband I am planning
honestly, i would hope that the game focuses on slightly smaller forces. platoon sized forces which the minimum sized force for can be built using a single box, and a large army would use two boxes...
@Steven StGeorges Strange. The link works for me. Not sure what is happening there. It's the "Reiter" thread I just started. It's at the top of the "Latest Topics." ...
@JTam Err... thanks for the link .. but
@William Redford That painted horse though..... Also, speaking of Pistoliers: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/65470/reiter-aka-schwarzreiter I ran a lot of...
@JTam Mordheim transposed to Lustria? Thanks for the hint JT, downloading everything at the moment ... will take a look later. 👌
@William Redford My Knights were a bit older than the models you played.. I succeeded my Sanity Check when the 4th ed Reikguard was released ... cause they were very nice models, like...
@Steven StGeorges I remember that diorama... I also remember the white dwarf that had the old metal pistoliers fighting the lizard men as well. It really was a great theme... and got me to buy...
@JTam I did have 25 or so reiksguard foot knights in metal... and while my other infantry came with 20mm square bases, they came with 25mm square bases. They were not that much larger than th...
@Steven StGeorges I hadn't heard of the "feral ones" so went on a quick Google safari. And it looks like the Shadowkesh were plastic:

@Hudson Adams Reiter would be great. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/65470/reiter-aka-schwarzreiter
The Reiter or Schwarzreiter (Black Riders) were a specialized cavalry type that fought across Europe from the 16th to 17th century. Wearing 3/4 blackened armour and equipped with multiple pis...
