@Brian Van De Walker Being British I view the 'Dark Ages' period as being from the separation of Britain from the Western Roman Empire in the Fifth Century AD to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, whi...

@Caratacus I think the Samurai KS was supposed to start sooner but they delayed it stating they wanted to deliver the Dwarves first... I wonder what they will do if the dwarves now are delayed pas...

you mention terrain in your speculation what I would really like is some hexagon locking tiles like heroscapes did before they went under. if they shrink them into roughly the 25 millimeter size th...

i do like this idea

I certainly hope they get on and finish the Dwarves before they release these, I personally found the Dwarves to have way more potential. 

My votes would be Ground Zero Games updated to true 28mm and Anvil Industries. Pig Iron do also very interesting ranges that would be awesome in hard plastic!

Looking good, and good to see that they can be easily kitbashed with other sets.

@BS Kitbasher I imagine the Mamukill charging at the fields of Pelennor. (Lasercast, from whom the first two pictures come, is actually planning to create some large elephant/mammoth in the future)

Frostgrave has half-giants now as well. I think there is a market for giants of all sizes but guessing how many of each will sell is difficult. It really depends on how well the aesthetics of the...

I am surprised they did not fund. Hopefully they will listen to feedback and reorganize the relaunch. As for Reaper Bones... Mrs. GG and I are big fans. The quality has steadily improved and we wi...

@William Redford we need face reacts😆

@JTam Actually I think its like GG said they need a fresh KS to fix the miss steps problems. That and shipping is high.

Those are almost adorable, like armies of Weebuls marching off to war.  I imagine they make chittering little meepmeepmeep noises as they kill and die.

@Brian Van De Walker I understand what you mean with the lizardmen, I suppose I find the muskets to be really weird because I don't play any pulp Victorian games. That might just be a me thing but ...

@Ethan Gilbert @Yronimos Whateley  Hmm, I actually have to disagree with you about the lizard men. In fact I would say the only thing the lizard men really didn't do well for me is ironically...

@Brian Van De Walker it's funny you mention half giants. I just bought the old dnd darksun box set printed as a hard back book from drive thru rpg. Which of course has got me looking for half ...

@William Redford @Mithril2098 @JTam   Actually I think desireable size depends on the race of giants you have fluff wise and weather you have things like half giants in setting, not mention w...

@JTam  yes. Early bones was a softer white material. Very bendy and not great on detail. Having said that, things like giants and ogres and larger medium creatures like bugbears were pretty go...

@William Redford  Want to find out more about "Bones 6," but afraid to Google that.

@Daniel Broaddus Are your units going to be a mix-mash of weapons (like the old Empire militia)? Or are those pictured above from several different units?  I am thinking 30 pike 30 sword an...

@JTam  yeah. But it frees up some short term money for me... with Bones 6 at the end of the month and Fireforge samurai in may. This will get relaunched. And the shield maidens and goblins did...

Well that sucked.

Those conquistadors really look fantastic, can't wait to get mine. And great to see what they can mix with the older GW kits that were a little more historical-oriented despite being fantasy. Now ...

@William Redford  Boom!  That's pretty impeccable logic. I favor the BIG Giant.  It's kind of in the name.

Here are my conquistadors built for Freeguild along with a size comparison with (7th edition) GW artillery crewmen    

I've got them on some 25mm bases built for Age of Sigmar. I've also got another side by side pic that I'll share here to the forums. Loving these models!

I'm currently assembling some Oathmark "goblin" wolf riders with their silly foxtail plumes, and I trust them even less than the tails on warhammer 5th edition elven horses. These connections howev...

@Blutze Because most people dont need 5 or 6 different giants for RPGs. Those that do can already find 5 or 6 different giants in Bones or other cheap formats already. People who plan on using 4 o...

@BS Kitbasher Ey, that's not a bad idea 😂 but yeah, people make them from matchsticks, cardboard, foam, greenstuff, resin, metal or 3D printed. It's not about the individual soldiers but about lar...

Talk about 54mm scale reminds me... to bring in the D&D 3.5 angle again (I seem to do that a lot): There is a number of creatures that either have their own size-increasing abilities, or could ...

Why would RPG players not want kits? If anything, variety in minis is more important there because they don't throw all "handweapons" into a single pile. Unless you want to just proxy everything, b...

@Mithril2098 I know my personal prefernce... would be the 180mm size ones... The reaper sized ones are good for RPGs... and are super affordable. I would guess that for RPGS most people dont need ...

The very end of his snout is a little weird, but other than that image #2 in William Redford's post is clearly lizard based. Honestly, I would be fine with some hint of dog simply as a homage to th...

I would second Tre manors stuff - he's even starting to sculpt digintally, which would help things a ton. Could you imagine a multi-part Tre kit? Where you could actually choose to NOT put on all t...

Something with a distinctive style, like Mierce, Wargods of Egyptus, or Tre Manor's Red Box minis, gets my vote.  If you're going to make plastics for another company, go for something that sh...
