Kitbashing for me, too.  Like someone else said above:  that's part of the fun of a multi-part wargame kit like those that Wargames Atlantic makes.   I'm surprised there doesn't se...

Glad you liked the ideas! I think that if there were to be any fantasy upgrade sprue to do first, it would probably best start with some Elf and Hobgoblin heads:  not a very exciting foundati...

Papercraft seems to me an economical and sadly under-appreciated option. That AT-AT and AT-ST sound like they're in a perfect scale for use alongside 28mm minis, and would be far cheaper in a pape...

If you can get both options from the same set - and I think it can probably be done:  the costumes aren't very different, aside from different headgear optons, and the distinctive cloaks over ...

@William Redford  I would actually like stuff to make up the uniformed sets from the WW1 and Imperal conquest for industrail fantasy.  So I am thinking: Head swaps with goggle (human a...

    Hello folks, how compatible are Einherjar arms/weapons with the other DF sets?  I plan on building a Guard army utilizing all the other kits but not sure if the space dwarves wil...

@Grumpy Gnome  Not the Tomorrow War my dear Gnome but the Forever War.. 😉 Mmm comparing Euroland tastes for Realism (so cynicism and pessissism) over US Positivism/Optimism is like comparing...

@Caratacus Well, that is why I did suggest making both of the sets more usable for black powder/industrial fantasy at the start of my comments as well as making most of the bare head options human ...

@Blutze Ok, that is a cool weapon... so yeah I am with you. I had googled A926... and all i was getting was what looked like a car stereo... :)

A specific pollaxe. THE pollaxe, really. This one. Though I think I'd be fine with anything that is axe+hammer+topspike. Its just that I want this character to be wearing late 14th century transit...

I've always seen the bleakness in GW's settings as a sales thing, lowering the hurdles of entry: In the grimdark of the distant past, it doesn't matter what army your buddy is collecting because ev...

@Blutze what is an A926? 

Flails, of varying sizes and chain lengths. Lefthanded pistols (especially wheellock and other early stuff), both for dualwielding with a handweapon and for going akimbo. Skulls and zombified hea...

I have at least one friend who has written professionally for GW... I think writers sometimes go “off script” and insert their own brand of 40k into the lore. So there are contradiction...

@Grumpy Gnome  Vivid and sound post my friend, with IRL examples, so a vibrant post. The Lamenters' do cherish every single imperial citizen, they are willing to sacrifice themselves in orde...

So, Reading @Brian Van De Walker  and @Yronimos Whateley  thoughts on Fantasy rangers, it sounds like an upgrade sprue similar to the scifi one would be a great addition to change the rom...

I guess a lot depends on what the people who were polled had in mind with their answers - seems like a lot of times, the popular poll results are for an inexpensive and very specific alternative to...

@Brian Van De Walker I'd personally rather WA focused more on other fantasy races than humans right now, we're not exactly short of fantasy human kits from other manufacturers. However, some of th...

Good work! Nice Color scheme for your imperial guard overseers. Black and red is a really decent Classic.

@Steven StGeorges  When you said my earlier post was vibrant, what exactly did you mean?   I think you are making the same mistake I made in my youth and the same mistake@Caratacus &nb...

Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster. My pandemic project was getting back into painting minis, and my latest task has been putting together a penal legion using the excellent Cannon Fod...

Heck yeah.  

@Grumpy Gnome  I don't tend to like using extant non-gaming settings for gaming. The factions are usually limited and the setting often has a completed arc that makes the game either feel poi...

As to the rangers, I have several thoughts on how they could be done: A. WA just does the elves and adds some human or hooded heads(simple). B. WA just makes a ranger themed customization sprue f...

So awhile back on FB group WA posted yet another “what fantasy subject should we cover next” poll and the top two where knights/men at arms in first and rangers second which means 2 or ...

@JTam Thanks for sharing these!

As a matter of facts, there are Good guys within W40K -at least according to Codex and side-stories.. (who just say Iliyan, Illie for friends, Nastase, former chief psyker astropath??) "FOR THOSE...

Kitbashing is the reason that sprue-minis are so fun! It's hard to look at a bin of left over heads and limbs and not think of what you could do with them. Especially with WA not having a game yet ...

That is another problem for me with 40K, the whole promotion of the “ends justify the means” morality. Same problem I have with the TV show 24 hours to be honest. WWJBD seems to be some...

On Grimdark, I feel like it works when the story is committed to it, such as the Vaults of Terra or Inquisition War series.  It also works when used as satire, such as in the Ciaphas Cain book...

@Brian Van De Walker  Kim Newman's Jack Yeovil's Road 666 series (Comeback Tour is still ma favourite one) is quite a classic -for an OOP but so promising game and setting, the very past of W...

I like kit-bash... I have created one scout-troop (more to come) from Raumjaeger (body), rifels (cannon fodder) and heads with caps from original Iron-Core box for my "V. Kaiserjaeger RKG"... thes...

@William Redford Loving it mate!

I would respectfully disagree with you@Caratacus . I think you are making what GW said fit your narrative. There is no hope for redemption for the Imperium. It is not merely flawed and no hope rema...

Ok, 1 more. This is a Wrath of kings robot with some GW bits and a Raging heroes pilot.

@Brian Van De Walker I can certainly see where you're coming from, even if I don't fully agree with you. On one hand you are right, the death of Warhammer Fantasy did give other fantasy games room ...

Same. I love taking different kits and making something new.  Here are just a couple... Bones are really easy to convert. The Afro guy is just weapon swaps with Escher parts. The Ogre has a G...

@Blutze Hmmm, or it could also be that crabman just gets spawned out the dungeon core like that😉. Don't really see how that fellow could tie that cloth on otherwise (well unless its a werecrab) le...

I enjoy kitbashing to make converted models. Since I am not a skilled sculptor this allows me to lean on the professional sculpting skills of others yet still have the freedom to create some of my ...

@Mithril2098 actually desert theme arab/beduin influences or Turkish Ottoman dwarfs would work great and actually be a buy for me in plastic, most people are going to want some sort of gun option ...

Well this is semi-interesting: I've been pretty underwhelmed with the Stargrave plastics.   But maybe some of the sprue will be useful for bashing with the female Cannon Fodder. ...

@JTam  The US Army... finding ways to suck the joy out of hiking, camping and target shooting for over 200 years. Hoo-ah! 

I have found the basis for the Inquisitor conversion:

Nobledark... First time I think I have heard that. Interesting concept and how I originally saw the Imperium of Man I suppose. But GW just kept going further and further down the grimdark road so t...

I am not on Facebook either, thanks for sharing those cool photos.

@Charles Tottington  Good for you.  It's a sh*t platform.

@Grumpy Gnome Honestly I wouldn't mind Warhammer 40k toning down the Grimderp. Preferably have it Nobledark with satiracal elements, where while you do have good members of the Imperium, they often...

@JTam Oh, its facebook. Don't really have an account nor do I plan to.

@Grumpy Gnome  Looking back there has been some great opportunities.  I guess if you stay in long enough there has to be some highpoints among the relentless pounding by the big green we...
