This is an excellent idea. It has potential to be a cross genre Sci-Fi/Fantasy set as well, like the Lizardmen. A few gun arms, a few improvised weapons. Some head options and mutated arms. Odd mut...

I'm fully in favour of plastic gladiators - heaps of conversion potential there. But you may have missed the Wargames Foundry range: https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/gladiators &...

You could even mold the left arm on to most of the bodies (like GW Empire crossbowmen) if one desired.  Provides more fluid poses.  Adds simplification.  Gets a rid of the seam where...

Did a bit of research.  I believe all major types of gladiators can be done with one sprue. All the gladiator types are variations on a theme. Almost all types follow these rules:  L...

@Brian Van De Walker The second idea there sounds like a great one. Maybe with some bald heads, "barbarian" heads, and generic hoods alongside galidiator helms, with javelins, shortswords, pistols,...

All the different orange juice or iced coffee lids are great.  Check out Stokk iced coffe, which has lids with more classical arches rather than gothic, and another orange juice (Minute Maid?)...

Quite proud of this one. Tropicana Orange Juice caps: Make perfect Imperial gothic scatter terrain. You might want to sand down the raised "Tropicana" on top, and/or glue on a disk, or m...

@Yronimos Whateley  Come on, you can't just tease a story like that..... ;)

Makes me wonder if there is a market for box of multi-part plastic generic scientists, engineers, doctors and technicians.

@Yronimos Whateley Did you just mention Baltimore randomly? Or are you connected to Baltimore? Just asking as I am here in Maryland. Not Baltimore... though I used to live in Baltmore County. 

That's fantastic, @JTam ! Wish I could go into the whole insane story without derailing the discussion, but several years ago I found out the hard way that the Appalachian hills have a much bette...

@Yronimos Whateley Utterly my mind, and with all those little pieces of hard plastic, one should be able to recreate HIM: Klytus is already available from Crooked Dice (RIP Peter Wyngarde by th...

I suspect you would start with unarmored male gladiators as a box, then expand from there. Some of the armored types you might be able to kitbash in the meantime.

@JTam These images you shared makes me hope to see some affordable Werewolf and Minotaur minis from WGA.

Paldroons/shoulder-armor definitely help "sell" a variety of different minis, starting with sci-fi, and going on to heavily-armored fantasy paladins and other warriors, and moving these days into t...

Unbelievable how good they are painted... 😍

At that price, I'd go for pre-paints, or HeroForge to build and pose exactly the character I want.  For minis I'd assemble and paint myself, Reaper "Bones" PC and other character minis at Kic...

@Brian Van De Walker Yeh, I am not sure why they think they can justify this price... other than (people will buy it... so charge what we want!" and unfortunatelt that is probably true... at $10......

Mark did Pdf`s, and other forms of weapon explenations, for all his work sadly, my brain can`t remember it all. Which is why I wish to rebuild the "Lore", one of the things that I "Half" remember, ...

More supplemental metal minis: Looks pretty good.

@Benjamin Hayward Good question, most strickly RPG players/GMs seem to prefer prepaints,  and the D&D brand is probably why its costs too much.  

@Brian Van De Walker well we don't NEED IT... but... ok.,,  I guess we don't... :(

Actually SafeHaven Games had a KS for a ruleset, miniatures, and supposedly even a cool arena model. Tragically it didn't launch due to lack of apparent interest. That said as a subject, it would ...

for what it's worth, I think the heads/faces on Wizards 1 and 2 (so male and female) as well as the male knights are fantastic. - The knight's set even has one of my favorite head bits currently ou...

Definitely something that should be on any SF booster sprue. that AND LEFT HANDED PISTOL OPTIONS!!! (With corresponding non-weapon right hand ones). (edit) Actually, I see that North Star have don...

@William Redford Warcry's models are quite rare I may confess. Only seeing some for a few hours before they just disappear in smoke... to reappear on ebay or whatever-buy-me.com. Some folks are mak...

One hack I used to do was to snip the cotton bud ends off used cotton wool earbud sticks, leaving about 5cm of perfectly good ~3mm polystyrene tube. Literally thousands of uses. And helping to keep...

@Yronimos Whateley  We have a few Domovoi in my house:  

I have not seen it yet but the trailers look good.

Update: https://coffeeordie.com/tom-hanks-wwii-sequels/ Did anyone see "Greyhound"?  

@William Redford  35?  Ah, shame.  I think at this point 32mm can work.... but 35mm is a bridge too far.

@JTam These are nice. But 35mm. I had looked at these back in the day... but felt they were too big. They are lovely though

These are the beautiful if a little pricey resin miniatures (assuming resin) I was thinking of: https://arenarex.com/ They have some free rules to download too: https://arenarex.com/page...

@Grumpy Gnome I dont mind the male faces. Though the Oathmark Human soldiers kind of look goofy. 

I like many of the faces on the North Star Frostgrave/Stargrave/Oathmark sets. 

@Geoff Maybury  The Boyes rifle is a good analogy/source of inspiration too.  I just went with the Soviet equivalent as they were by far the biggest (And probably longest) users of the ...

@JTam The Broken? No, I have looked a couple times. They have some neat robots I am kind of interested in.    So, speaking of which.. I was living in Indonesia when President Suharto w...

@JTam  I have heard good things about the Maelstroms Edge minis, just have not managed to find any second hand yet here in Germany. I wish I had grabbed some before Brexit.

@John Wilson  Not bad.....   Thank You for the tip....

@JTam Thats true... back in the day that was a lot. Now, its like... half a tank of gas...

Anyone have experience with these miniatures? They look suitably Waste Nomady.... https://www.maelstromsedge.com/medge/store.jsp?p

Two hundred ninety dollars is a CHUNK O Money.   Maybe if it goes for $250 from the online stores I can kind of rationalize it.  The GW big boxes are the only time their prices appr...

@Steven StGeorges Indeed. Though I am still looking for the Red Harvest Barbarians. When they announced that set, EVERYONE complained about how bad (or not human) the barbarians looked... So I figu...

@Grumpy Gnome @William Redford  Second or even third hand my friends... A lot of buyers are going to quit -as usual- after a few weeks, so to sell their minis (primed or painted) asap. 

@Grumpy Gnome saw this price rumor on Dakka.  Necromunda Ash Wastes €225 £180 $290* Dustback Helamite Riders €37 £28 $47 Tactic Cards €13.25 £11 $16.50 Orlock ...

@H M yeah, i dont do many scifi games, or at least not that often... hopefully the female cannon fodder are succesful so WA makes some more female sets.

@William Redford I would get them for that purpose, but sadly I have no use for the bodies and guns. I'm hopeful that  a "tribal woman" set that I pitched in one thread or another a while back...

The Panzerjagers are something of a missed opportunity since the don't have the assault rifle/gl shown in the art work. I'd have taken the opportunity to give more of a variant to the Stormtroopers...

Thank you my friend your scource of Knoledge never lets me down amazing insights, I too was thinking along the lines ofthe british Boyes, not having a total Kill, more a cripple wound. I love the E...

GW has surprised me by making something I like. Too bad that I expect the price to be prohibitive. I have already started trying to convince Mrs. GG...
