Looks like the Space Dwarf space is going to get a bit more crowded. Squats are back I wonder if any of these will be worth proxying for a death Fields games?

personally, i'd love to see something akin to the West Wind Production metals, but in plastic. Roman legion dwarfs, Selucid pikemen dwarfs, assyrian dwarfs, etc. or maybe desert dwarfs...
@Yronimos Whateley For me, "Dwarf Adenturers" always brings these guys from Time Bandits (1981) to mind, and it's always a bit sad to me that nobody ever makes any dwarf adventurers quite like t...

Well the good news is that if you can hang on just a few years longer they'll both be replaced ;)
@Grumpy Gnome I'm not necessarily right, and your not necessarily wrong. Again, it's hard to reach definitive conclusions on a 15 second video devoid of context. Hand and arms sig...
@Yronimos Whateley The Raumjäger kit more or less has G36s. I wonder how those arms fit on other WGA kits? They seem a lot squatter than later kits.
@Benjamin Hayward Indeed, Ink is one of my main problem actually. I think I found out a solution: using Staples/Bureau en Gros' printer service on demand. But I still do need to ask for info...
Its my wife's birthday (actually it was yesterday... yes April 1st). She went to Philadelphia to eat some Indonesian food. I recommend the Gado Gado and Sate Kambing. She went with her friends thou...
In my experience, papercraft isn't as cost-effective as I thought it would be, and it's because of one thing: INK. There's a video on YouTube that lays out how nefarious printer manufact...
Those look nice, and scale wise the fit at least on the photos. I remember Paper/Plascad Hammer, I think I stilll a Tank laying around, but the trouble always was that it takes a lot of time...
@JTam Another convert! Maybe @Hudson Adams can give us his opinion on the matter?
Trying to crack the 28mm vehicle issue is a reoccurring nightmare no matter the setting. Aliens is still one of my favorite “go to” military sci-fi movies of all time. I wish Cameron a...
I hear you mate. I like some of the old White Dwarfs for Middle Earth Battle Strategy Game Battle Companies campaign scenarios.
@Geoff Maybury "Just think how long Hummers and Bradleys have been around and we are syill waiting on plastic 1/56th, Rubicon are striking a head but are 70`s 80`s. I think we need some new Moderns...
@JTam Great reply mate! That was why I wanted to hear your opinion in particular. You make some very fair points. Points I failed to voice as part of my context. For the sake of this d...
@Yronimos Whateley You're right to mistrust anything related to the fighting in the Ukraine. The Russians are long time masters of misinformation. (During the 1939 invasion of Po...
Re: being a gun-guy - guilty! I'm a terrible shot, and wouldn't want lives to depend on my being able to hit a target, but I did get hooked on the flood of inexpensive surplus weapons t...
I remember hearing the bayonet charge a couple decades ago, and it impressed me - both for the surreal image of an old-fashioned bayonet charge at the end of the 20th Century, and for the kind of g...
This might actually be a bit of a game changer: https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/01/19/get-ready-for-computer-assisted-shooting-with-the-armys-new-optic/ But again, you could bolt ...
@Yronimos Whateley Ref: I can tell from this and some of your other posts that your a gun guy. I fully agree with you in the above. There has been no significant firearms adva...
@Steven StGeorges Ah, of course. Thank You!
@JTam FG stands for FrostGrave mon cher ami... the Cultist set is one of the most used for kitbashing over the community.
@Eric Howanietz Well timed idea. Lots of exciting things afoot for wastelands nomads types. And if nothing else they are good for ambushing starship landing crews and sticking spa...
@Steven StGeorges What are "FG" cultists?
@Yronimos Whateley Great post and ideas as always Brother. Reference: The British Army conducted successful and well documented bayonet charges in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Britis...
@Grumpy Gnome I don't really like Monday morning quarterbacking these kinds of clips. They lack context. What kind of troops are these? When was the last time they slept?&n...
@Red Bee LOL. Battlefield success guaranteed by their "Git ere done" mind set.
I don't know, looks like Fishing hats, Beer Helmets (the beer bits aren't glued on yet) and truckee hats to me. My guess is that we're going to get a redneck Death Fields army.
I don't know if it was just propaganda or not, but I seem to remember hearing that it wasn't that long ago that a British unit in, I think, Iraq ran out of ammo, and ran one of the most recent bayo...
@Yronimos Whateley Boonies (top row) remain popular with military forces today. The sunglasses/eye protection being worn make the heads a better fit for the modern era than Vietnam.&...
@Caratacus - I think Wargames Atlantic was the company who started the halfling bandwagon: I'm pretty sure WGA's halfling set was released long before Mantic's. The previews I've seen ...
A prosaic suggestion : a sprue (if not a set) of arms with open hands for customisation and other nefarious purposes.
I am still quite a devoted fan of Perrys' 80s/90s Citadel dwarves. Liked the style, the mix of various stereotypes (Dwarves with Norse or Normand helms, and more Renaissance ones for example) and t...
@Grumpy Gnome ..Internet is our best friend -and External HDs- and wife's, I am not going to argue about. But I am still pleased to browse old issues of WD for instance not looking for somet...
I used to read White Dwarf back in the day. That and Dragon Magazine. More recently Wargames Illustrated. But really the internet usually scratches that itch for me.
I was thinking that optics are an advancement on individual issue small arms... but this video I just watched reminded me that even if you have fancy optics you need to know where to point your wea...
Karl also mentioned the Conquistador kit was a big surprise hit for them. He seemed to recognize this was due to cross over appeal as Empire troops for Warhammer. This gives me h...
@Red Bee GW and Warlord have hundreds if not thousands of products. I think WGA can juggle 75ish.
@Berggeit "A pile of shame does not exist. All I see is a pile of potential!"
We got 320 grenade launchers (which are sh*tier than the 203s they replaced, but that's different rant) Now that is a rant I do wanna hear. I was under the impression that for basic usage they a...
52 kits?! That sounds like an inventory nightmare! Don't get me wrong, I'd love it, but I hope for everyone's sanity they are counting reprints in there.
@JTam The 'Handbrake Turn' was my favourite part 🙃
A pile of shame does not exist. All I see is a pile of potential! I am looking forward to getting my hands on the Conquistadors for a Rogue Trader project, once I get some other projects out of the...
@Grumpy Gnome And reassuring to know there are others who have similarly large (or larger in your case) piles of shame as me 😉
Well, we are talking about crustamen instead of just giant crabs. That means these are monstrous humanoids with above-animal intelligence and not mindless vermin, and the one on Ethan's image is ev...
@Blutze Would Crabmen have or need gear? I mean they are already armored and don't they generally have claws for hands?
@Geoff Maybury Check out this film Vexille from about 7:00 to 12:00 for some near future high tech warfare. https://www.funimation.com/shows/vexille/vexille/Uncut/?lang=English ...
@Grumpy Gnome "Shelves of future potential." I like that. A lot I now have a closet of potential. Your spouse sounds like a true blessing. Some wives would forbid a...
