So I originally thought this art depicted a Cossack in WW1.  But it is actually a Cossack in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05.   The fact he carries a Dragoon rifle is handy.&n...

So the trenches could be the height of WW1 "Taj Mahal" trenches - reveted with floor boards.  Or more hasty all dirt trenches. I kind of favor the all dirt trenches.  They can represent ...

Sneak Peek from Friday 4 MAR 22. Possibly a De Lisle Carbine for 02 Hundred Hours.  

@Cole Lassell  Enhance.  Enhance.  Enhance. Look at the bottom couple sprues on the right.  I can make out "German Sentries," some soft cap heads, a helmeted head or two, and ...

UPDATE As of March 3rd 2022 I have made my move to scotland and placed my order for 3 boxes of panzer lehr :P. Im also ordering all the other stuff I need from other sources, debating what coman...

@JTam those are space brits not the unseen 02hundred set. 

Ive had this issue since day one. I find just clicking on login again and then it skips the robot test and logs me right in.  Idk if its a issue on jsut chome honestly Ive been meaning to bri...

From what I recall of FB discussions both they and the romans were planned to have archers in the AB or as separate ABs even though in the Roman case at least that is almost on par with having a bl...

To be clear I do not think of any culture, of any time period, as "barbarians”.   There are however some actions or activities by some cultures I would consider barbaric.  All tha...

The bodies are surely do-able, with maybe a little scratch-building and fudging. I ought to try souping something up to see how close we can get with just regular wargaming figure bits. A box of ...

Close enough to work for me - I don't know about genestealer cultists or alien possessed (not familiar with the game), but I'd be more than happy to accept those alien heads as close-enough Klingon...

I have been having immense trouble logging into my account recently. It keeps sending me to the new account box after doing the robot test. Is anyone else having related issues?

@Julian Wensleydale @Miyuso   Interesting: They remind as much of "Alien Mine" as Genestealer Cultists. EDIT: Googled Alien Mine.... not as much as I remembered.  Actually not real...

Facebook Update:      

@Yronimos Whateley  Nice post.  Soaking in nostalgia time now.

@Brian Van De Walker  The tree isn't the hard part.  The hanging knights are.  Converting a true lolling pose is not easy.  We need slack arms.  Pointing toes. That being...

@Grumpy Gnome  Great run down on available trees, and fantastic blog! Thank You!

If the notoriously overpriced GW can sell this much trench line for $49.00. Or this for this: I have high hopes WGA could deliver an awesome product at half the price point.

Check out the colorful sleeve patches worn by the Cossack in the Polish-Soviet War, the horseshoe cavalry patch worn by the Red, and the Wolf patch worn by the White.   WGA could do an a...

Russian Civil War, Cossack fighting for the Whites:  

Kit would work for the Russian Civil War as well. While the majority of Cossacks were probably Whites there were Kubans in the Red Army.    

I love me some rank and flank, block units fantasy gaming.   However, GW is going to be reintroducing the Old World soon, and that's going to suck all the oxygen out of the room.  G...

If WGA did a rules set to rival Black Powder and similar I would suggest the rules and "codexes" be more prescriptive.   Black Powder is all "You can do this or try this."  "You can ...

I think WW1 is the most fertile area for new games rules.  Other periods/genres all seem to one or two dominant rules sets.  Additionally, WGA's WW1 miniatures are to my mind their most u...

If that is a De Lisle Carbine it looks like the barrel is too low on relation to the shroud. https://modernfirearms.net/en/military-rifles/bolt-action-rifles/great-britain-bolt-action-rifles/de-li...

4 MAR 22: Could be a De Lisle Carbine.  I would guess for Commando types in 02 Hundred Hours. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/58250/02-hundred-hours  

@Andrew Turner (who I guess isnt on this forum) posted the below picture on the Wargames Atlantic Legion facebook group.. Stating he was considering using the WA Conquistadors as Portugeuese and ha...

I was just thinking and wanted to see what other people are thinking. they announced the bases they will be selling a little while ago and I look forward to them. with luck, this means we might get...

@Brian Van De Walker I've got cold feet about 3D printers, too, except my worry is that if I figure it out, I'll n ver paint another mini again -- I'll just be printing new ones as fast as I find t...

@JTam I think the issue with the las rifles is they are love/hate design (which to be frank a lot of laser guns have), to me they  look a lot like the DKK las rifles. @William Redford Just t...

@William Redford Yeah backed that KS and waiting for it, I need go and check to see if the shipping got paid already and the "backer kit" thing stuff is finalized (thought I did it awhile back thou...

I can't help thinking that most of such trenches would be easy for even beginners to craft using traditional model railroading terrain-crafting techniques.  BUT... Maybe something that might ...

Good question, and I don't know. The upcoming (non-Army-Builder) Goths set was previewed a few weeks ago, and does, it seems, include at least enough bits to make 3 out of 5 of the figures archers...

Another opportunity for a series of hypothetical Wargames Atlantic head sprues....

@William Redford I am actually a little disappointed in them for going with the Sengoku era instead of the earlier Mongol invasions since they already have Mongols (just saying missed opportunity ...

Actually, that isn't a bad idea, though I am not sure historical trenches can be done as a cheap plastic kit as your still going to be paying $32-$35 a kit🤔 (thats a good price 25-40 infantry but f...

Sailing ship hat.

@JTam Actually the real question we should be asking you is why not either use the $10-$20 diorama trees kits sold in every craft store, get them online from such venerable sites like ebay, or mak...

I'm getting great flashbacks to the 1980s, and the DFC "green army man" style Forest of Doom playset... the forest was little more than a plastic play-mat, with a couple large sheets of 2-D cardboa...

@JTam Its sort of been done by mage knight:   That said I don't really see giants as a good "dual use as SciFi" set idea (at least not for mecha), golems on the other hand would work great...

OK.  This configuration makes the most "sense." Rockets on the shoulders.  Don't have recoil to deal with.  Only need room for one crewman.  Will need a helmet to protect gian...

@William Redford  Good call on the Volley Gun.

@William Redford  Very little difference between a Brazilian Carnival Parade and combat anyway.  They have some interesting Lizardmen prints as well. Also, the giant Axolotl is cool.&n...

Those are nice... but I dont have a 3D printer and the thought of one kind of scares me... :) Still I do like that these girls look like they could fight in a fantasy army or be part of a Brazilian...

Armored misslie gift giving robot santaclaus giant could be fun. Though I would rather mount the volleygun barrels instead of the Rocket battery. 

Thanks for sharing this, I'll definately be interested to watch that campaign and maybe contribute too

@BS Kitbasher indeed. But in the abscence of a WA kit, other multi-part sprue plastic sets are still good. :)  

@Julian Wensleydale those are pretty nice! I also like the bulletproof and Wasteland Survivor ones! 

OK.  This isn't a serious suggestion.  I just got carried away. The weapons platform on the giant idea got me to thinking.  And I thought "It would be cool to recreate the silhouett...
