Awesome! What's the mech from?
The "Uhlan" double breasted bodies would be awesome for steampunk conversions. Would probably be useful for Turnip28 and a lot of other games. Would provide a decent base for conver...
Conversely 1/56 vehicles look odd next to the 28mm Infantry. These seems like a chance for WGA to single handedly really improve 28mm 20th Century war gaming.
@Mark Hoffman 1/56 is the obvious scale, otherwise it will look odd against other manufacturer;s vehicles
With WW1 Russian troops on the horizon, now might be a great time to come out with WW1 German Cavalry to be their foils. Cavalry generally had an active role on the Western front durin...

@Hudson Adams Will you be doing another contest to mark the next member milestone?
@Sam Bellamy Ah, I forgot about Oberleutnant Gruber. I confess I was just going with the first super German sounding name that came to mind. I further confess that I someh...
@Brendan O'Connor I'm not worried about it. She'll only be this amazing age a few years. I have the rest of my life to putz about with little plastic and metal men ;)
@Mark Hoffman Excellent review of what's already out there. This is why I hope WGA makes kits in 1/48th. 1. I think 1/48 is better match for 28mm. Most 28mm figures at this poi...
Excellent idea! Shields take up a lot of space and sometimes you are going to use different shields anyways. -Elongated heather shield/ flattop kiteshield The others I can think of have been ment...
I use both 1/48 and 1/56 plus 1/50 and even some stuff that could best be described as “non-scale/other” along with a lot my historical figures for near future sci-fi and fantasy army b...
@Hudson Adams I am kind of tempted to ask for Warring States era tower shields to make Chinese Shield specialists troops. But since you guys are dead set on making Greeks, given one of the m...
I would like some more roman shields, more of the oval ones we have now as well as some scutum style ones to make earlier legionnaires.
War in the Vendée, rebels! Essentially 2 boxes, one for foot and one for cavalry. If they did Revolutionary French, it would be a cool and different opponent instead of the usual Paris Mob.&...
I switched to 1/48th scale after assemling a miniscule Warlord Games bren carrier -- and seeing other examples of 1/56th scale models (which are really scaled to maybe 22-23mm size). Unfortunately,...
@JTam thanks those are very kind words! I'm lucky that my kids are now old enough that I have regained hobby time, but I know exactly where you are coming from! It's hard being a parent to l...
I would absolutely love Vietnamese troops from the Indochina/Vietnam war era.
Shield sprues are great, I would expect them to be rather inexpensive so no need to put different kinds on the same sprue. I second the Idea of Sci Fi/Near Future riot shields also kite shields ...
@Corwen Broch Yes, I know that Rubicon have plans to release the Renault FT-17 in plastic, in 1/56 scale. Most of vehicles in the list that started this off are available in resi...
@Vane Dolenc to be honest, I think it's better to have them all the same. The exception would be if the shields are for a unit where variety is better, like goblins for example. Even then thou...
Oval dark age cavalry shields would be great. Another vote for Sci-fi riot shields here.
@David Musgrave there already is wood detail. We've only shown the fronts. ;-)
I'd love to see a mix of Bronze Age Mediterranean and Mesopotamian shields, especially Hittite,Canaanite, Agean, Lybian and Nubian.
The next question will likely be... “If WA starts doing vehicles, what scale will they be?” As for me, for now, it looks like my Warlord Games 1/56 vehicles will go on eBay in order to...
@JTam I must how ever protest. There is no way that Hubert Gruber is a Corporal, he is a Oberleutnant and drives a little tank.
@Grumpy Gnome Good point on the shields being slightly different sizes. But that might potentially mess with the transfers. Might be a necessary sacrifice.
@Corwen Broch Breacher shields for heavy sci-fi Infantry or Death Fields sci-fi Romans that would happen to incidentally fit Space Marines? ;)
Found this T-60 video. https://youtu.be/p7Ogo5y6m2s Really well done. It's in Russian but still worth a watch. These vehicles are usually maligned as completely inferior to the T-3...
@Hudson Adams trickier of you are looking to get the wood effect underneath - a dremel does a good job though
Kettenkrad, and German motorbikes and sidecars, including for Afrika Korps (different heads) would seem obvious small vehicles that are in demand and would suit plastic. For WW1 it would be gr...
@Mark Hoffman Rubicon are releasing an FT17, and you can gt them 3D printed. But its such a cute tank lets have more!
Breacher shields to fit Horus Heresy space marines
@Hudson Adams adargas. A sprue of adargas could make generic troops into Spanish ones for a nearly 600 year span.
Battle damage shields can easily be done with a razor blade/file/etc. And we will have transfers galore.
Excellent idea!! We need more options too. Norman type Kite shield, Heater shield, Egyptian shield, Different round shields, Oval shield, Roman Scutum, Simple wood or straw shields, ...
Will WA be selling shield transfers to match the specific size of these? Future shield sprues may benefit from the shields being more individualized and looking less Industrial Age mass produced. ...
@Geoff Maybury The sneak peak "tank"? Probably not. That's a solid roadwheel/idler versus the spoked ones on the Ontos: Sidenote: I can't think of worse vehicle to deploy t...
These are nice, but having some distressed/damaged ones would be preferable Kite and heater style, plus a plain wooden round style would be good. Egyptian themed ones or coffin type would g...
Perhaps classic Hoplons, Classical Celtic shields of various shapes, or maybe some age specific parade/adventurer shields.
Kite shields would be good. Also some variety on the sprue next time.
First up for shield sprues (actually 2nd up but that's a secret!) are our Dark Age Round. These are the basic wood plank with leather wrap-around cover that can be used from Germanics in BCE throug...
I say keep the archers seperate. You can always put a few melee bits on the archer sprue for folks who will only want one box for skirmish scale games.
@Geoff Maybury I hadn't considered that. The problem is I've already glued these guys (lizards?) to their bases. I'll definitely have to remember that as an option in the future though. ...
That frankly sounds great, a deal for x boxes of my own choosing..I would immediatly go for.Space Brits, Grognards, Conquistadores, Skellies, ... many things where I just need one box. In all hone...
@Forrest Wentworth Have you ever thought of trying transparent bases, used them in the past from Frenris Games. They come in all shapes and sizes and have the advantage of, whatever terrain y...
