WW1 Dough Boys also should included the option on brimmed Hats. Nice would be Gun Sets like the french 75mm model 97 Field Gun or the german 7,7cm FK08 Field Gun. An oddy could be the Renault FT ...

We had requests for a comparison to the Warlord Landsknecht set. I did a quick photo shoot (with an extreme closeup hence the fuzziness). The landsknecht puddle base is about .5mm taller than the S...
A "siege weapon sprue" with some weapons and sprues with different crews from different periods of antiquity could work for some sets?
The release schedule lists "Alternate Scale Test"... https://wargamesatlantic.com/pages/release-schedule Hm... let's speculate what this could be...
Movies for flavor/inspiration. Wholeheartedly recommend the original Soviet Classic "The Dawn's are Quite Here." A small female ADA unit engages German paratroopers. https://youtu.be/dfftHK...
6. Females There was a significant number of females under arms in the RKKA. Many were in direct combat roles. A box of female RKKA Soldiers would be welcome.  ...
I have read numerous criticisms of the Northstar giant wolves/wargs bring “too chunky”. I picked up a sprue of Northstar Goblin wolf riders without the wolves intending to put them on G...
I'm an ex Space Wolf player, so aside from LOTR my image of what Wolf Cavalry look like is on the space viking side......now I'm thinking of the possibilities of Eisenkern Wolf Cavalry (legs are al...
@Vane Dolenc reasons to compete! 1. I can't find the plastics on north star's own fantasy section of site. 2. The oathmark goblin riders are intended for a mass battle game, while WA's stuf...
A giant wolf is a giant wolf. It's ability and aggression amplified by size. They're still wolves though. They'll have a strongly bonded and well structured pack mentality and coo...
Might not be what you want to hear but North Star makes pretty good plastic goblin wolf riders, why compete? Make a wolf chariot.
I picture them more exaggerated than the picture, like a wolf that's taken a lot of steroids and is very angry.
@Yronimos Whateley Thank You. Are you tracking the forthcoming Escape From Stalingrad Z? It looks pretty interesting. There's also a Bolt Action skirmish rule set called (if I rememb...
@Brian Van De Walker *Shrug* My conclusions were the opposite. I think "Winter Soviets" are covered with a good kit that can represent RKKA forces from at least 1941 to 1945. There a...
Tbh that pic right there; wargs are just another name for very large and evil minded wolves as far as Tolkien's works.
When you think of Giant Wolves/Wargs that Goblins would ride how do you picture them? Post up your favorite images!
A lot depends on how close to modern stereotypes you go, which seems to be what standard kitchen-sink fantasy is running on: exaggerations of exaggerations of exaggerations of templates set m...
The scale does go a long way toward dictating what is practical for female characters. "Realistically", women wouldn't stand out very much from men characters, after you've added combat armo...
@Yronimos Whateley I don't know "cohesive Creatures of the Night set with flexible, interchangeable bits", sounds a lot like it could be a box of different sprues for making a collectio...
For the robes/capes/etc., I can't help thinking that one or two historical/fantasy "townsfolk" sets that could be kit-bashed into heroes (or which, better still, include some sword, mace, and other...
@Ben Saunders Zombies are always a thing, anyone else beside cannon fodder you want to add (like space dwarfs, Space Germans, Space French or those space Brits). Maybe some non-human undead parts s...
@Benjamin Hayward Clearly you have only looked at the risen female heads from Anvil and have not discovered the Fireforge peasants’ girls which are little too mannish face wise if you ask me...
Seems to me like a cohesive Creatures of the Night set with flexible, interchangeable bits, in a style that hasn't already been beaten to death by all the other manufacturers making generic zombies...
Great overview! For my part, I think a Russian/Soviet Partisans set would be my multi-box must-buy set. The French Partisans have supplied so many great multi-use figures and bits, I'd be gl...
I don't game in Death Fields per se and don't have anything to do with 40K, so for my purposes a main army box (or occasionally two, as in the case of the Cannon Fodder set), a heavy weapons/comman...
I went with "Vietnam War", but I'd rather see that expanded as a broader "Cold War" line that (depending on interest) could ultimately include Korean War Koreans and Americans, Afghanistans and Sov...
@Yronimos Whateley ... are you trying to summon the Spanish Inquisition over here? 😄
@Mark Hoffman Sounds like a couple heads with EGA helmets for flavor would do the trick.
@JTam I've read that the Eagle Globe Anchor insignia affixed to the helmet was pretty rare during the war, it was more common post war. It wouldn't be difficult to remove with an Exacto kni...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher Nah, WA could make them in 2 gender separate sets (or at least sprues) and should due to proportions since we are mostly talking historical scale fantasy sets here. An...
Pointy eared female heads that actually looked female?
@JTam I think it’s actually a fairly well covered topic, at least for the summer months. Plus anyone who wanted to build a summer army probably bought 3 to 5 boxes of the WGF figures during...
@Grumpy Gnome The French and Indian War is a fascinating subject. Damn those were hard men. I might also want to game LTC George Washington, Daniel Day Lewis, and Robert Rogers VS Fre...
@William Ings Well as someone who is also more of a collector/model builder, the popular game system used aspect does tend to control what gets made. While a number of people did ask ...
@Ben Saunders I've seen some pictures of Death Fields parts mixed with WW2 French somewhere. The differences weren't obnoxious. Maybe a conversion kit could cut the difference be...
@Brian Van De Walker Slightly off topic, but I believe Northstar said they're already working on female barbarians for their Frostgrave line.
So what do guys think of Boers for the Boer wars, etc.? Should they be done as partisan style sets (male and female), or is that not really needed? What kind of guns and other weapons would they ha...
I like the idea. A small(ish) 'upgrade' sprue could transform an existing kit into a second use. GW have done it (e.g. turn Imperial Guard into Genestealer Cult) and we've seen one example from WGA...
a zombie kit from WA which would be sure to scale correctly with their other kits would be brilliant for kitbashing I like the idea of zombies as an upgrade/conversion kit, but could it ...
Well maybe alternate heads with the EGAs on the helmet. That EGA is going to be pretty minuscule in 28mm though.
@Mark Hoffman Thanks Brother. So it sounds like one WW1 American Infantry box set can cover the Army and USMC. I'm aware of the differences between USMC and Army webbing in WW2...
@Mark Hoffman Thanks for the in depth review! My thoughts on the PSC Infantry set was based off pictures. I do have the PSC 28mm Soviet antitank gun and heavy weapon sets. I improve...
@BS Kitbasher While I tend to agree about the marching pose laser rifle (though I have heard some asks for that), I do think making nappy ABs more kitbashable so it can be used for other things b...
@JTam You beat me to the punch. I was going to mention the PSC Russian infantry in summer uniforms in 28mm. Their molding is all over the place with that set. Some poses are okay, so...
@JTam The equipment was the same for both the Army and the Marines in the First World War. That did change for the Second World War. When the Marines uniforms wore out,they wer...
@Mark Hoffman WW1 USMC is outside of my area of knowledge. What were the differences between WW1 USMC and Army uniforms and equipment? Your comment above makes it sound like the...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher You make me wish I had picked my forum name better.
Forgot about the available PSC 28mm kits. They do a pretty nice heavy weapons box, a light antitank box, and an Infantry box. The heavy weapons and antitank gun boxes are decent as plastic heavy ...
