@JTam   I even quit playing an Empire army -1990 I think, the sole soldiers I still have are the 4043 Mounted Knights -the Imperial Guard back then- with the Imperial General (the famous one ...

@JTam   Indeed a Pony version of Sleipnir could be a good idea... 

@William Redford  OK.  So there is evidently two rough sizes of Warhammer Empire miniatures. The beautiful early metals and these plastics are roughly the same size. The 6th Edit...

@Steven StGeorges  I don't think the Einherjars would be much into cavalry.  Vikings were more "dragoons" if you will.   But if they did.....  8 legged horses?  Fast...

@Steven StGeorges the one musket I assembled wasn't as hard to find the corresponding left arm as the pikes and halberds were. So I am hopeful. :) I can't wait for the cavalry either. I sent@H...

I would say it depends entierly upon the game size. small, independent model proper skirmish games are best when fast and easy to learn, with thematic scenarios, but a grand tactical game is probab...

@Geoff Maybury Try linking the url or sending screenshots of it.

@William Redford  As part of some DFG KS in 2015 (?) as far as I remember it. Plastic or Resin do not know... but since WGA is going to release them -and the feral ones, just wait and check t...

@JTam   Indeed the Storm variant is my favourite model amongst the range.. and according to blogs and dedicated websites like dakkadakka, can be easily converted for SM, IG or whatever. Stil...

@William Redford  Very IMPRESSIVE work Mister Redford... Always glad to see such devotion. I was planning to buy some conquistadors to depict Estalians during some Lustrian expedition and was...

@William Redford that's 100% the vibe I was going for with the Axe and dagger fellow. 

Once upon a time, I should have replied: the best set of rules -read balanced. For instance, I played Fantasy Warlord instead WFB (just cause of Initiative rules) or Alternative Armies' Firefight i...

@JTam No worries. You found them larger? I think they match pretty well with the other empire units. Here is one next to a greatsword... and the unit I made. There are 20 in this unit... but I wou...

@William Redford  No worries.  Also, no promises.  I didn't get many of those guys back in the day as I was poor and also turned off at how ginormous those guys were compared to all...

@Cole Lassell  Hi Brother, glad you resurrected. Reference the missing Tiger: Shipped to Germany, or somewhere else in France for depot level repair or rebuild?  Just a guess.

I have to agree with @Benjamin Hayward  @Grumpy Gnome,  so many games exist in so many sizes and genres and styles because they all appeal to at least some audience.  Or in other wor...

My thoughts echo those of@Benjamin Hayward.  What I like makes a good wargame for me but it may not be a good wargame for someone else.  For example I favor the Toofatlardies games, so ...

Ive been dead for abit. but Ive seen lists like that and I cant trust them, the panzer lehr is rarely properly documented but the majority of this list does match what Ive seen.  My issue is ...

@JTam  yup, that's them. Thank you sir. 

It varies from person to person, but for me, personally, it's all about the mechanics, narrative, and the setting.  I've moved into minis-agnostic solo/co-op games; competitive games I tried a...

@William Redford  Ah, that reminds me.  It would be awesome if WGA did a Reiters kit.

@William Redford  I left all my Empire stuff in my Brother's house a few years back.  But I'll rummage through it the next time I visit.   If I have any of those shields I'll s...

I've seen a few folks around here talk about making their own wargames, and we know that WA is working on one or more of their own rulesets. So I thought it might be an interesting place to talk ab...

Were those plastic  Shadowkesh models ever released? They look useful for a varierty of things. 

Ok, that is... terrifying... I am picturing escaped mental patients... ala Silent Night, Deadly Night...  

@JTam The Fireforge Northmen have Sallet helmets... Open faced. I really like then as well. And these guys fit well size wise with the conquistadors. Having an upgrade sprue with some of these and...

For some reason I can only get one photo to save at a time

Got down to my last sprue of Einhenjar and  Ifigured I'd have fun. I ended up liking these so much I might have to pick up another box just to make the whole army themed.   Anyone k...

Been a while since we have seen any updates. The cavalry are in "additional sculpting". @Hudson Adams any additional sneek peeks you can share? Or any thoughts on how many guys you are gonna fit in...

So, the Conquistador cavalry and Landsknecht ogres will be part of this army. I am hoping i can make some pistoliers and/or outriders out of the cavalry.  I am also debating getting some of t...

I would love some landsknechts... Of course I would build yet another empire army with them... Fireforge, old GW empire and the new WA conquistadors all match nicely. The Warlord conquistadors and ...

Yeah... The old empire plastic knight regiment, the militia, the soldiers... I see all go for $100+ I need 10 of the older soldiers shields... (the ones with the molded lion faces)... to finish a u...

Now that I think about it, I may have a new in box, factory wrapped Empire Handgunners kit like that.  Except the box is in German.  Sigh... too valuable to use?  May just hold on to...

@William Redford  I really like sallet helmet. Why?  They look really cool. I think they possibly look coolest without the bevor.  Which combines poor visibility with half...

William Redford has a great thread here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/60988/my-first-conquistadors Looks like WGA Conquistadors are compatible with latest GW Empire kits....

@William Redford  Thank You.  Ah, I didn't realize one arm was molded on the body of these guys: My Empire handgunners are metal or these guys: Who have two arms. (Looking at th...

@JTam Sort of... The GW musket bodies have the left arm built in... so there is no real left arm for the muskets. The GW Muskets are right arms attached to the musket with a left hand attached to ...

@William Redford  Thank You. To clarify:  You can use two (left and right) GW musket arms on a WGA Conquistador body?

@Geoff Maybury @Frank Reischmann  Thanks for sharing these images/info.  I had no idea the Shadowkesh were so tall/big.  I kind of like it.  Certainly lends to their alienishne...

@JTam They seem to be a great match. I havent tried any empire heads yet, but may do so for my general. I have a ton of GW greatsword ... greatsword arms... So may do a unit of those in the future...

The pike block really looks the part! Great conversions. That helmet for the musket armed Soldiers seems like a good choice.  Seems like a solid I don't need as much protection, don't in...

Worked a bit more today. Blocked off the 30 troops for my swordsmen. These guys will be the elite unit in my army. Heavy armor and shields. There are only 2 styles of the armored body (1 of each on...

@Yronimos Whateley I'd be all for an over the top GI Joe game. Bot Wars is slowly becoming my favorite pick up game, and I 100% picked it up based on theming Edit: whoops hit send to early  ...

  I have a PDF with 8 pages, but I can not add a PDF here... I tried to rename it to JPEG, but that not work... I can make hardcopies tomorrow...    

I have a few pictures too...  ... and  last one...

@Red Bee   :D  I think you're right - if you zoom in real close, you can see the "Jon Deere", "Red Man", and "Bass Pro" logos on those caps!  My kinda army!  Here, hold my beer....

I`ve a six page PDF trying to send with this post, not yet quite got the hang of it, I need a child to do it. Geoff.

I love Iron Core the Leviathans, the Space maps, APC, all of it Itook it all in and coppied as much info on the worlds and creatures, from the forum as I had time. Then after making file coppies fo...

Starting to really look like an army.  Nice!
