@JTam Sort of... The GW musket bodies have the left arm built in... so there is no real left arm for the muskets. The GW Muskets are right arms attached to the musket with a left hand attached to ...

@William Redford Thank You. To clarify: You can use two (left and right) GW musket arms on a WGA Conquistador body?
@Geoff Maybury @Frank Reischmann Thanks for sharing these images/info. I had no idea the Shadowkesh were so tall/big. I kind of like it. Certainly lends to their alienishne...
@JTam They seem to be a great match. I havent tried any empire heads yet, but may do so for my general. I have a ton of GW greatsword ... greatsword arms... So may do a unit of those in the future...
The pike block really looks the part! Great conversions. That helmet for the musket armed Soldiers seems like a good choice. Seems like a solid I don't need as much protection, don't in...
Worked a bit more today. Blocked off the 30 troops for my swordsmen. These guys will be the elite unit in my army. Heavy armor and shields. There are only 2 styles of the armored body (1 of each on...
@Yronimos Whateley I'd be all for an over the top GI Joe game. Bot Wars is slowly becoming my favorite pick up game, and I 100% picked it up based on theming Edit: whoops hit send to early ...
I have a PDF with 8 pages, but I can not add a PDF here... I tried to rename it to JPEG, but that not work... I can make hardcopies tomorrow...
I have a few pictures too... ... and last one...
@Red Bee :D I think you're right - if you zoom in real close, you can see the "Jon Deere", "Red Man", and "Bass Pro" logos on those caps! My kinda army! Here, hold my beer....
I`ve a six page PDF trying to send with this post, not yet quite got the hang of it, I need a child to do it. Geoff.
I love Iron Core the Leviathans, the Space maps, APC, all of it Itook it all in and coppied as much info on the worlds and creatures, from the forum as I had time. Then after making file coppies fo...
Starting to really look like an army. Nice!
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....

@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 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...
