@William Redford Thanks for showing me these size comparison pics! That is surprising, I thought Mantic Salamanders would be the same size as GW's Saurus Warriors, but they are considerably wider....

Really they are on the small size for mostrous infantry, but look closer to that than regular infantry. They could not fit on 25mm or even 30mm bases... maybe 32mm but with the wide stance i kind o...

@Caratacus They are lacking height wise, but are much broader than regular infantry. I use rounds, and put mine in 40mm like the Ogre Bulls. Here is a couple I had made as "not draconians" for my ...

@William Redford I looked at the Salamanders, and the ordinary ones you've posted are decent and look similar to the Dyndraig, but are infantry rather than Monstrous Infantry (Monstrous Infantry be...

@JTam you got most of it the rifle is also grognard, the cannon looking thing on his face is an arm meant to attach to a weapon from einherjar, and the staff they are attached to I think came from...

I don't think i'd be too invested in a kobald sprue I normally use goblins, and the reptile sprue tends to be close enough. could be fun if they did, but i'd rather they make something else

@William Redford I don't at the moment - you see I bought just a couple of lizardmen sprues off a seller on Ebay to test out how much I like them before making the plunge on a full order, and as a ...

@H M Do you have a pic of an unenhanced lizardman next to one of your guys? I Had considered getting some lizardmen for fun but just havent gotten around to it... In your army are the lizard gusy w...

Mantic has their salamanders, which is one of their kits that I actually think is oretty good. I got them in the kickstarter so I dont know how the retail kits come. But the ones i got were loose i...

Some WIP shots of my Stallenberg 'Kriegers'.  Commander, Commissar Lord, Commissar (based on the one from WD 149 cover) and Lieutennant Vets/Grenadiers Close up of the Sgt and another d...

@JTam Certainly! Hard to say on when eactly that will be, as a couple of the character pieces are taking a while to find the right bitz for, and then once they are found doing the right sculpting ...

If this set is meant to specifically be Irish Cavalry, then it should feature entirely unarmoured bodies, the only cavalry that the Dark Age Irish fielded were the light Ridire, equipped with javel...

@Grumpy Gnome That is a good point, and such a kit would present a good opportunity to include options for Kroxigors as well as Dragonborn/Dragon-Men, though my concerns are that to include both Az...

I certainly agree that only changing 25% of the sprue to fit each of those three factions was a very poor idea from Gripping Beast. The Picts version is definitely the best version of the kit, as ...

Sassanids are a major faction that haven't yet been blessed with a plastic kit or two. I'm unsure on the full level of differences their units would have had in comparison to the Achaemenid and Par...

Excellent points. I think some sort of follow up support box would sell well and address those issues brought up.

GW Kroxigor are also in demand... and expensive.

Hobgrotz are generally cheap right now on German eBay, I suspect similar prices on the British and American ebay lists. I was going to say Reaper has Kobolds pretty well covered (we just got a bun...

@Yronimos Whateley  Just saw that Crooked Dice is having a Kickstarter for some nice retro sci-fi minis. (Nothing scarier than skull faced troopers emerging from Uranus.)   Does t...

@Grumpy Gnome  That rings of truth.

Great write up.  Good points/feedback. Well done on the putty work on the back.  I hope you will be able to post more pics when you get paint on them.

So, let me first start off by saying I really like the over-all design of the lizardmen. I like the asthetic, and I like how they are a very different take on the concept from Games Workshop. It's ...

For reference it would seem GW went with giant eel mounts for their cavalry.  

Mermaids riding fast, strong, and intelligent dolphins as mounts seems like a good fit. For the purposes of a kit, I'm envisioning the mermaids riding atop the dolphins sidesaddle.   An int...

There's the classic Sea Horse mount. And I see why it's popular mount in fiction.  It's literally called a "Sea Horse." That being said (and I hesitate to inject "realism" into a discuss...

@William Redford  Such a good film.

@john Sullivan  Bit of a shame, but I think they are committed to the double bedroll.  (I would have gone with one).  I ASSUME these are being painted for the box. https://wargames...

@JTam well... :) in d&d anyway its "merfolk". Its funny i just re-saw Zoolander this week... :)

@William Redford @Blutze   Please no MerBros.  It's in the name - MerMAIDS. Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.  Merman Pop!  MerMAN!

I do hope they get rid of at least one of the bedrolls. Both gone would be better.

Decided to use the helmets again in conjunction with some reservists to make Persian Riflemen  

@Blutze Yeah. We discussed a bit about empire ogres in this therad:  discussion about empire ogres I think that the kit would be more useful as mixed gender... but wonder if it would make t...

@Blutze well... they did have a recent price hike... The last new kit I got was the Blissbarb Archers for Slaanesh... Retail is $55 for the 10 guys (I think technically 11 as they come with a litt...

Off hand, I can't see it being a roaring success, but on the other hand I didn't see the demand for Landsknecht Ogres coming either. In Warhammer, ogres have been stereotyped as mercenaries for ...

I suppose I could use them in RPG's but dont play many low level games and while a kobold individually can be powerful, you still dont normally find something like that in numbers... There's an ...

A giant war crab would be pretty awesome.  That last crab model with platform that you posted is boss. Good substitute for this thing: The mount clearly gets its own attacks.

J Tam, i am waiting for my new Panzer Lehr figures to arrive and it is great news that you have come up with some designs on weapons packs. I purchased some French WW1/WW 2 figures and they were ex...

My first reaction for the one on the right was also "Oh, more of the warg!"  But yes:  the ear does look different, as does the... fur?  Scales?  Flames?  The further away ...

Crustaceans are naturally armored, so I think would fit well for beasts of war.  Shrimp/ Prawns as cavalry or chariots... Crabs as monstrous cav or crewed beasts...

Just as a thought exercise, if Mermaid Infantry was successful, what war machines or mounts could be made? For mounts and/or chariots how about something prehistoric? For a cavalry mount how ab...

Being also a fan of Mierce Miniatures, this is a great ideia right here.

Kobolds, either in sprue or in regiment, would interest a lot of people. However, I don't think WGA has this in the works.

If Wargames Atlantic made a similar set would it be in the reneissance range or a new asian themed range? 

I'd love to use Kobolds instead of goblins for Kings of War personally.

I am a big fan of Mierce Miniatures’ gorgeous but horrendously expensive Darklands Range, particularly these lads: I’d love to see Wargames Atlantic make an affordable multipart plas...

Greetings fellow Wargames Atlantic enthusiasts! I have been highly impressed by many of Wargames Atlantic’s plastic kits thus far, and am eagerly anticipating those yet to come! Most recentl...

@William Redford  That was my rational. If you using them for your own undersea skirmish game or what not you want them swimming. If your getting regiments worth your probably substituting ...

@William Redford  Oh Wow, Those are pretty legit. Makes me want to play Blood Bowl. But I think your right.  The poses of the minis are such that it should be relatively easy to...

Cute aztec cheerleaders   Considering getting these girls. with the Aztec box a weapon swap shouldnt be too hard...   Fantasy football team kickstarter

The mount vaguely reminds me of the things Nazguls ride.
