My Pikeman join the shelf. 

More work. Finally finished my Pike. Tomorrow I will start on my swordsman... Delaying my muskets as 2 part arms are the devil! EVIIIIILLLLLLL!!! Anyway the Pike were not that bad. The poofy arm p...

Even the exercise of thinking out a kit bash is entertaining. Say I wanted female Panzer Lehr. These legs: (Remove the center strap on the gators.) Maybe these torsos: (Anybody have a bett...

@Yronimos Whateley  I selected the first option.  As I do enjoy finding solutions to create different troop types or to create a pose I want.   However, option 2 is at least p...

They look interesting, looking forward to seeing a shot of the sprues. Hopefully we'll see an image of the other half of the starter set soon too.

@JTam   True. 😆

@Steven StGeorges  Lots of good ideas. The Land Speeder Scout transport variant is one of the coolest things GW has ever done.  Serious Little Bird vibes.   I picture Bulldog...

@Mumbleford Waits  He does have that corrupt official Boss Hog feel.  

Quick Update: Finished up the Warden Commander for the penal legion. He'll be a junior officer/lieutenant in charge of the platoon. I've always loved this scuplt; its so full of personality. For so...

@JTam   +1 Raumjagers could have something like some kind of Jump or Fly packs since they were paratroopers a long time ago... OR could have access to something like that Fast attack vehi...

@Grumpy Gnome  You don't like crew served battle rattle?  When you need a buddy to get into your sh*t, there is a problem. Have you ever mucked about with East German webbing?  It'...

I agree with your points yet again mate! When I was doing WW2 re-enacting Inreally grew to hate WW2 German webbing. 

I had a grouping of "a little different" ideas for classic fantasy creatures I was working on at one stage, and the dwarves featured. I wanted to see them fill a more early 1800's Western European ...

@Grumpy Gnome  Their P37 "basic pouches" seem a bit flat. I wonder if that is just the nature of the injection molded beast?   I suppose you could rationalize that Commandos wou...

Not papercraft related but cheaphammer. I am waiting for that particular kit , a Meng model unavailable here in Canada -at least from my retailers- for about a couple of years now. As seen there, ...

@Yronimos Whateley  Reference: So close, the answer is Mongolian ;) Hear me out.   The Hobgoblin Khanate is well established in lore: https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/w...

@Yronimos Whateley  Reference: This is interesting.  I'm reminded a little of this exchange in the "Who Want WW2 Axis Cavalry?" thread: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforu...

@Grumpy Gnome I buy sprues on ebay too... But for Wargames Atlantic Sprues @Lord Marcus offers individual sprues for sale on his store site.    Lord Marcus's Store

@Yronimos Whateley  Going to try adding the Imperial Guard pilot from the 80s IG landspeeder , since I recovered a couple of that vintage vehicle, stripped and dissassembled in some long forg...

So, looking, I dont have the new Storm Giant either. If he is 5 inches that 127mm so he would only look small next to the mantic one... He iwould be a little smaller than the giant elephant guy bel...

And here is some photo shop based on the pic of teh new cloud giant vs the old, with my pic of my old cloud giant vs the Mantic one...  and my Imperial giant (3D print) next to the Mantic Gia...

Definitely not 2/3's though... but even 2/3rds would look small

@Mithril2098   Yeah the pictures I showed were kind of blurry... but I actually own all the reaper bones giants except the new cloud giantess. Her height is listed at 4.2 inches or 106.68 mm....

Another info drop, this time on Beasts of War... https://www.beastsofwar.com/modern-warfare/grey-for-now-show-02-hundred-hours-sas-plastics/  

@Brian Van De Walker That black powder Elf looks great, except maybe for the bayonet.  I seem to recall WGA showed an elf preview sculpt awhile back but it never went into production bec...

I think it might be smarter to do a spellcaster sprue/kit with options for druids, they are not exactly a box onto themselves subject.  That'd work too. The current warrior boxes don't have...

@Yronimos Whateley Solomon-Kane style 17th Century fantasy is an excellent idea, that's something that still hasn't been covered much in wargaming but has a lot of potential, and would definitely b...

Sounds like I missed an elf preview! Weirdly, D&D style lawful evil hobgoblin armies always seemed like a natural enough subject for a wargaming army to me, but one that always seemed to take ...

@Yronimos Whateley  Awesome.  

@Yronimos Whateley They actually have plans to do an elf set so a head sprue isn't needed, though it looked really LOTR generic, so maybe some parts to do something like this out of the box would b...

@Mumbleford Waits  They look great!  I'm excited to see this project progress. Are you going to do explosive vest "demo charges"? That's a great source of inspiration: Remember that...

I'd forgotten all about the snow speeder - seems like it would absolutely make a generic space-army's attack or fighter-bomber, scout craft, escape pod, target for sabotage/theft, etc.! I keep won...

@William Redford you did notice that i said that their newer stuff is bigger? and provided an example of their new cloud giantess vs the old one? from your picture, your collection is mostly their ...

I'm afraid I can't help much from first-hand experience with that kit. That said, the Einherjar - as "space dwarfs" - seem to be a little shorter, so that might be a "small" problem (forgive me!),...

@Erebos Hammerhand Thanks! I was definitely inspired by some of the older GW books and minis. I'm especially thinking of the 3rd Edition City Fight cover art by Kopinski.

52 kits a year would be amazing - for that to be a goal, suggests that Wargames Atlantic forsees having plenty of ideas to work with over the course of at least one year, which is really exciting! ...

@Yronimos Whateley  Utterly my mind, O Fire of Unknown Origin..  Those model sets are fairly way economical than ones you could download from Genet -excepted the landspeeder or any othe...

Kitbashing for me, too.  Like someone else said above:  that's part of the fun of a multi-part wargame kit like those that Wargames Atlantic makes.   I'm surprised there doesn't se...

Glad you liked the ideas! I think that if there were to be any fantasy upgrade sprue to do first, it would probably best start with some Elf and Hobgoblin heads:  not a very exciting foundati...

Papercraft seems to me an economical and sadly under-appreciated option. That AT-AT and AT-ST sound like they're in a perfect scale for use alongside 28mm minis, and would be far cheaper in a pape...

If you can get both options from the same set - and I think it can probably be done:  the costumes aren't very different, aside from different headgear optons, and the distinctive cloaks over ...

@William Redford  I would actually like stuff to make up the uniformed sets from the WW1 and Imperal conquest for industrail fantasy.  So I am thinking: Head swaps with goggle (human a...

    Hello folks, how compatible are Einherjar arms/weapons with the other DF sets?  I plan on building a Guard army utilizing all the other kits but not sure if the space dwarves wil...

@Grumpy Gnome  Not the Tomorrow War my dear Gnome but the Forever War.. 😉 Mmm comparing Euroland tastes for Realism (so cynicism and pessissism) over US Positivism/Optimism is like comparing...

@Caratacus Well, that is why I did suggest making both of the sets more usable for black powder/industrial fantasy at the start of my comments as well as making most of the bare head options human ...

@Blutze Ok, that is a cool weapon... so yeah I am with you. I had googled A926... and all i was getting was what looked like a car stereo... :)

A specific pollaxe. THE pollaxe, really. This one. Though I think I'd be fine with anything that is axe+hammer+topspike. Its just that I want this character to be wearing late 14th century transit...

I've always seen the bleakness in GW's settings as a sales thing, lowering the hurdles of entry: In the grimdark of the distant past, it doesn't matter what army your buddy is collecting because ev...

@Blutze what is an A926? 

Flails, of varying sizes and chain lengths. Lefthanded pistols (especially wheellock and other early stuff), both for dualwielding with a handweapon and for going akimbo. Skulls and zombified hea...
