My two main games are Battletech and Battletroops. I don't use WA minis in Battletech obviously, but death Fields and Iron Core have made it into Troops. Troops is a really methodical slow game pu...

At first, a quick look at very ancient manufacturers still into the Lead thing: ... Alternative Armies https://www.alternative-armies.com/ are still producing very old-school models -including so...

@Grumpy Gnome The new version of power armour in Fallout 4 was one of the ways they improved on previous games. I completed the base game and some of the DLC a while ago, I've still got to go back ...

I will admit that when I played Fallout 4 (justbover 1000 hours play time) my character practically lived in his power armor. Fallout 4 has some real issues but some bits, like the power armor, are...

You might find some of the work regarding Sludge on this blog interesting in relation to this project. Some cool photos of converted Napoleonics. https://leadballoony.com/2022/03/28/sludge-part-2/...

On exoskeletons, I like Fallout 4's version of the power armour frame  being an exoskeleton that the user operates rather than wears. In effect its a light vehicle rather than a suit. 

I'd suggest picking up a copy (or just watching the cut scenes on youtube) of Call of Duty Infinite Warfare. Its got some good stuff such as combat robots and some poor such as space carriers (w...

I guessed you guys would all have some great info, and you have, what ever real items come in the near future to real war fare. Ijust hope that Wargames Atlantic read our posts and think, yes we ne...

I await the Halfling Cavalry/Command set. Also the Landsknect Ogres. The current plan is they will be a mercenary unit alongside my Halflings (with possible potential to expand into their own army?).

Information overload is potentially a real problem. As the available information increases I expect there will be a lot of trial and error needed until the "right" balance can be found. I dont have...

I thought the night vision goggles we had back in the day were game changers, then I got to use the thermals in the Bradley and I was stunned by their capabilities. That was 20 years ago. I can not...

@JTam I think improvements in protection will come through a couple of ways. One is better and improved Materials that improve protection without increasing weight. The next thing could be improv...

An interesting observation about supercarriers and hypersonic missiles. I find it hard to imagine them going the way of battleships but then I was an advocate of retaining a couple of battleships f...

@Caratacus   Great points in the first paragraph.   I think this could be a successful line for WGA.  It's basically a completely uncontested battlefield if you will. Good po...

@Charles Tottington  You're Welcome Brother.   Also, fresh off the presses:

@Brian Van De Walker oh that would certainly be great! But given the choice, I'd rather they first explored some more niche corners of the period model-wise (Ottomans, Balkans, etc.) before circlin...

Fair enough.  It's hard to say if exo skeletons will be practicable on the future battlefield. That being said, exo skeleton development is pretty far along in the U.S.  As I mentioned, ...

I agree with most of your points but not the Exoskeletton. Allthough a really cool and classic sci fi trope I am very much dubious about its actual value on a real world battlefield. Not to say tha...

@John Eveson  Thank You! Pics of Krieg Halflings?  That sounds epic.

Some people are predicting the demise of the tank.  (The USMC recently divested themselves of their armor.)  I think this is premature.  The balance between tanks and anti armor syst...

Technologies most likely to be seen in near future conflict. 1.  Aerial drones.  We are witnessing a revolution in warfare currently. 2.  Hypersonic missiles.  I predict the d...

Thanks for showing me.

@Forrest Wentworth I hadnt really considered 20mm. Though if you are, the puddle base on the bodies definitely wont fit on a 20mm... so would have to be removed. Actually, one of the body variants ...

@Andy Smith I can take a look this weekend if I get a chance to work on Stuff. On a guess I would say 30-34 mm.

You are so right, I`m waiting on Shadowkesh for IRON CORE. Modern, Farm Animals, and Robot /Drones. Oh boy at my age (67) you wonder if you`ll live to see em "joke", let alone paint or play with th...

I want Spiders, Lizardmen, for fantasy, and  new comming Modern figures for D20 skirmish and zombies.

The picture is from Outside the wire, and with the following, have given me soom good ideas.

At 67, I've been wargaming one way or another, for at least 62 years, gone from Cowboys and Indians, to Space Invaders. I have used, coins, draughts, and any thing else available to represent what ...

Yard ago I tracked down TSRs Warriors of Mars to complete my OD&D era collection. I've not really touched it since then. This is really making me want to dig it up and see if anything is salvag...

@JTam 'Miniature Wargames' Jan 2021 (issue 453) my bad, it wasnt Spiders it came with, it had a free sprue of Halflings, I converted mine with some of the WW1 German bits and made Krieg Ratlings f...

@William Redford That is a great looking start to an army.  I wish these kits had been around back when I played Warhammer Fantasy.  And I should really finish up my current KoW projects ...

You get my vote for Trojan War Bronze Age models, they'd certainly fit well alongside the Bronze Age Egyptians already in production and they are a fascinating subject that has not yet been recreat...

Glad to see the parts don't look too out of place on Landsnehkts, the box i've had kicking about for ages might finaly see some use!I know they said the pikes are 50mm long, how much of that actull...

Finally, for flavor or inspiration I have to recommend "The Brotherhood of the Wolf."  Set a little earlier than the Napoleonic Wars it still has a bit of the flavor you are looking for. ...

Arguably, it's steampunk, just 20 years earlier or so. You might be able to use a handful of the Wild West Exodus figures although they are on the large size. (Sidenote: Neugebauer's websit...

A cool idea/setting.  Sounds like a lot of fun. Your idea of using Grognards seems like a really good one.  Very few changes necessary really.  Grognards work well due to the...

I have one too!  Is there a club we can join?

@Yronimos Whateley@JTam   Yes it clearly demonstrates that it is NOT warring states at all since the only thing the warring states feet have in common with the mystery previewed mini foot is ...

Hey guys so on the Warsurge Discord I'm a part of one of the members suggested a Science Fantasy Napoleonic War setting. Like Konflict 47 for the 1800s. I'm asking you guys if you can think of any...

Display on the Patriot Missile System in the Gulf War: Relic from the 507th Maintenance Company: Incredibly good write up.  I used to give a block of instruction based off this rep...

New speculation: the next Einherjat set will include a mug of beer on the sprue, and the next Raumjagger set will have a frankfurter. Please.

@Red Bee Ideally, given what they are based on historically and what is in the sets: The Bulldogs never have enough ammo and tend to rely on bayonet charges with initial covering fire more due to...

@Grumpy Gnome Completely unrelated to this thread but We also need a "laugh" button. @Yronimos Whateley Barsoom huh. Yeah I could see that working out with WA's stuff.

@Yronimos Whateley Same on the Boxers, next pay check and its order time. Them and Warring States Chinese are the big waits for me. I would also like to see more of the Ironcore stuff and the WW1 a...

@David BraultHmm, I would like to see some hand axes and wheel lock pistols for Knights of Malta crewmen, and maybe some enclosed helmets and combination firearms. Doesn't have to be a set I would ...

@Brian Van De Walker I second everything this man just said! And vote to elect him president of new ideas for kits for Wargames Atlantic.  Long live our De Walker overlords! and I look forward...

@JTam Interesting thought, but I would rather have fox eared girls with nine tails, Chinese wuxia amazons or even totally goof ball sexualized  hopping Vampires for warring states if we are ...

@Red Bee Thats true... as halflings in my game are small but on 25mm bases...

Depends, do you want to represent their reach, or their size? 25mm might be a nice nod to the surprise that their kids that they are fighting.
