@Grumpy Gnome The collar and the left arm are from the Einherjar sprue and it fits perfectly. I think it may have been designed to fit other WGA kits intentionally.

Well done on this model! The pieces look like they belong!
@Brian Van De Walker Very kind of you to offer but I have not decided on exactly which Sherman yet... I was thinking that since I am replacing it anyway to move up to a Tamiya “Easy Eigh...
@Grumpy Gnome No worries! You did not come across rude at all. Actually all the feedback is greatly appreciated. They do look a little different in person vs the photos and I'm pretty happy ...
They shall not pass? (Ils ne passeront pas). There's a board game with the name, but I don't know of any rules sets.
@Estoc Basically I agree with your earlier statement, or at least the logical conclusion that can be made from your earlier statement, they should try to do the vehicles to match up with the hist...
Even better than the Irish weapon options wise 👍 Really happy to see bows and slings. Especialy the second is hard to get despite being crucial type of weapon.
Awaiting the horse renders, I would add the armour as a separate like the Perry's have done with their Knights, I would add pistols and holsters and have top separate to bottom of riders body to ma...
@JTam cavalry releases could be reeeeaaally cool, Russian, German and French really come in mind, Russians and Germans extensively used it in the east, while the French, past the 1914 failur...
Nice touch with the fur collar. I recognize all the pieces other than that one. Where is it from? Removed from a cloak perhaps? Brilliant kitbash overall.
Well Americans aren't really a good competitor for a boxed set, they only saw combat in 1918, moreover for a boxed set, the second battle of the Marne in which the rock of the Marne fought was most...
Depends on the age you are aiming at I think. GW already works hard to capture the tween market. I recall using fairly robust 1/72 Airfix for my early childhood school dioramas. Soft, bendy plast...
I recently received 3 Warlord German halftracks, three different designs and all three with crew that are much smaller than Warlord WW2 plastic Germans. This has confirmed to me my decision to move...
Hopefully you have not found my comments presumptuous or rude in any way, that was certainly not my intent. I have found my figures look different in person compared to photographed so I sus...
@Brian Van De Walker absolutely, but for the part about the Serbs, they were equipped with French things from 1916, at this time pretty much all the military is wearing French gear, only the Adrian...
@Cole Lassell yes, but the most used ones in ww1 were those with rigid stripes, the others weren't as many
Including two hounds on the sprue would be great (like in the Dark age Irish set). Also two pistol arms for fantasy players. I hope the armour for horses is just optional. Not sure if we need th...
@JTam This page is quite interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_the_Ottoman_Empire It says: "The history of the military of the Ottoman Empire can be divi...
@JTam Nice Find! I looked online for some but apparently didn't look hard enough!
@Dalton McCormick I think these would fit: https://www.relicminiatures.com/product-category/transfers/page/2/ If you can wait, I think WGA might be coming out with their own: https://warg...
@Grumpy Gnome Great point, Ottoman siege artillery was a crucial factor in their dominance so that would be a great addition! I suppose you would also have the same problem of choosing which p...
Thanks for all the tips guys! I actually do have a few of the Army Painter washes, I used the Light tone (or maybe Brown tone?) to dirty up the sleeves and hem of the shirts. I didn't use the Dark...
@Estoc Ah, but WGA is a rules company. Or is about to be: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/50203/ww1-rules-and-miniatures-box-set (Four posts down). The idea w...
@Brian Van De Walker Quick question: why was I referenced/messegaged here? I wasn't promoting a listed scale, but rather an accurate proportion (which I shoddily calculated as 1/36 a year or...
1/72 Is far better for dioramas. And the "starter wargame for kids" concept is sort of difficult to pull off if you are A. Not a company that sells rules B. Not a company with products in b...
I would think WGA getting a big box contract and getting their name out there would be a good thing. Other sets they could do with a similar set up: Settlers/Pioneers. A covered wagon. Native A...
So who might get this? Not the harried Mom who wants preprinted figures and thinks perfection is the enemy of done school project. But the Dad who used to play Warhammer 15 years ago, or who thou...
Later, little thoughts percolated in my head. What if for instance WGA made historical Sprues packaged with a small paint set and a semi decent brush? Maybe partner with Army Painter o...
So there I am in Hobby Lobby. (For International members, Hobby Lobby is giant craft store chain that sells just about anything arts, crafts, and hobby you can imagine.) I'm in a...
I think 1/56 figs just look cartoonisly small compared to my figs. I use primaerly boltaction, Artizan and Empress mins. And when I put them togther some Wargames atlanitc of course. And i currentl...
@Slow Painter damn they look fantastic
@JTam ha! Ok, I laughed way too hard at that...
@Hudson Adams really nice to hear that, good choices make good products. As one of those that are waiting anxiously for the kit, ai can say I wanted it yesterday, but prefer to wait for a great kit...
@JTam Bro, another line of "already being done WW2 vehicles”, even if it is in a simpler 1/48 format, would not be bold it would be kind of boring and pointless (does the world really...
Love the idea, I have been using mine for Dragon Rampant too, and also for Saga and especially Oathmark.
i'd like mix and match too, but i can see why it would be more work and how it might mess with the economies of scale in other ways so if it could happen, excellent, if it can't oh well
Neither, they should scale to fit which ever kits the vehicles are meant to go with, i've got some rubicon 1/56 kits and while they're very nice they feel a touch on the small side compared to WGA...
@Hudson Adams Thanks! It's much nicer to have them all painted up like on the shop pages :) But if you ever wanted these without the watermark for FB or something - happy to oblige :)
@Mark Hoffman The FT is apparently in the pipeline in plastic from elsewhere :)
There's definitely a niche for decent scifi ish bikes, I always liked the ones from the old Battlestar Galactica series
The luxury here is it's open to so much interpretation, you could have massive things like Star Wars' dewbacks to Galaxy Rangers style horses and it would all fit in
Hi all been in the real world for a couple of days, after reading all of the above, for what it`s worth here`s my twopence. What ever scale your choise is really does`t matter, all you need to do t...
For the hollidays I bought several individual sprues of WGA and assorted northstar kits for some wild kitbashing. I submit to you my first space chimp. Feel free to post your own scifi kitbashes a...
A great start! I heartily recommend Army Painter washes. Not the dip but the ones you brush on. Dark Tone (a black wash) for the metals, Flesh Tone (a red brown wash) for the skin, Light Tone (a s...
Good stuff! We have tried to get comparison shots on each of the product pages as well - not every set has them. One of these days we'll start doing more.
Nicely done! I agree with JTam to try out some shading. You don't have to go for the full Army Painter approach there are lots of ways to go about it. Some people even use Minwax or an ink in Futur...
Now that we have the US operation sorted, we're about to find out how quickly we can go! Usually once something is done with engineering/layout and all that the actual tooling is about 10-14 days o...
Figuring out what's going to fit on the sprue and we went back and forth on how to do it a couple times. What we are going to do is have a separate shield sprue because those Dura-Europos shields a...
@Dalton McCormick They already look good! Forrest Wentworth is right that some washes or a dip is an easy way to make them pop. A dip and some shield decals and they would look awesome o...
