@William Redford Boom! That's pretty impeccable logic. I favor the BIG Giant. It's kind of in the name.

Here are my conquistadors built for Freeguild along with a size comparison with (7th edition) GW artillery crewmen
I've got them on some 25mm bases built for Age of Sigmar. I've also got another side by side pic that I'll share here to the forums. Loving these models!
I'm currently assembling some Oathmark "goblin" wolf riders with their silly foxtail plumes, and I trust them even less than the tails on warhammer 5th edition elven horses. These connections howev...
@Blutze Because most people dont need 5 or 6 different giants for RPGs. Those that do can already find 5 or 6 different giants in Bones or other cheap formats already. People who plan on using 4 o...
@BS Kitbasher Ey, that's not a bad idea 😂 but yeah, people make them from matchsticks, cardboard, foam, greenstuff, resin, metal or 3D printed. It's not about the individual soldiers but about lar...
Talk about 54mm scale reminds me... to bring in the D&D 3.5 angle again (I seem to do that a lot): There is a number of creatures that either have their own size-increasing abilities, or could ...
Why would RPG players not want kits? If anything, variety in minis is more important there because they don't throw all "handweapons" into a single pile. Unless you want to just proxy everything, b...
@Mithril2098 I know my personal prefernce... would be the 180mm size ones... The reaper sized ones are good for RPGs... and are super affordable. I would guess that for RPGS most people dont need ...
The very end of his snout is a little weird, but other than that image #2 in William Redford's post is clearly lizard based. Honestly, I would be fine with some hint of dog simply as a homage to th...
I would second Tre manors stuff - he's even starting to sculpt digintally, which would help things a ton. Could you imagine a multi-part Tre kit? Where you could actually choose to NOT put on all t...
Got to play around a bit with the conquistador sprue. * The Pikeman is straight from the box. Will have a unit of 30 of these guys. * The female will be the officer for my pike... S...
@Olympian Gamers Agreed on the heads.
Certainly an orginal idea that hasn't been done in plastic before... why not?
How do 2mm infantry work? I don't think I could tell the difference between a 2mm Napoleonic army and a strip of Velcro hooks painted Napoleonic clothing colors and dry brushed Napoleonic hat...
Something with a distinctive style, like Mierce, Wargods of Egyptus, or Tre Manor's Red Box minis, gets my vote. If you're going to make plastics for another company, go for something that sh...
I've never seen that before - great stuff! Reminds me a lot of the changes my grandmother had seen over her lifetime - old enough to have grown up through the Great Depression, a world war, t...
I think the lizard men shared a similar difficulty to other early Wargames Atlantic sets: a big idea, fit onto a small frame. Compromises need to be made, and the biggest compromise was...
@Red Bee I find that people love finding something to grumble about - the spiders aren't that challenging to assemble and they paint up nicely. You get more than enough in one box to make a decent ...
Thank you for posting this - I'll definitely be getting a box of these, but I might have to do something about the heads - not sure what the reasoning is behind the "plug in" hair
As some of you would probably guess coming from me, I vote Mierce - their models are excellent-looking sculpts and their Darklands fantasy Dark Ages setting is a thing of beauty: But the...
6, 10 and 15mm are also used for infantry. Not many vehicles around between 3000 BC and 1900 AD. The great thing about smaller scales, particularly 6mm, is that they are easy and quick to paint and...
@William Redford I would probably buy them for the same purpose. The poses look very dinamic, and would fit the angry monks chasing the heroes.
@Travis Johnson I only have one TT Combat Carnivale Mini as I find them too expensive, even used on eBay, generally for my budget. Here is a photo for you though with a height comparison. I be...
Seconding Anvil & Crooked Dice. I think Brother Vinni has some great looking sculpts too and would like to see their stuff in plastic, but considering that a lot of it is in somewhat dubious co...
@Brian Van De Walker I get what you mean, just spears would work alright and people can use whatever left arms with extra shields if they really wanted to have a more traditional army. They could m...
@Steffen Seitter yep. they also used the recurve composite bow, which could produce a lot of power with less draw weight and size. by the 6th century, the Strategikon of Emperor Mauriceactually st...
@Simon Boulton i've got a fantasy army inspired by the Palmyrine Empire i've put on hold due to mini assembly burnout.. mostly because the Warlord Games Early Imperial Romans i got cheap to be thei...
to give an idea.. here is their old Storm giantess mini next to a 28mm figure. and this is their new cloud giantess mini next to the old one.
honestly, i think you'd get better sales if you did the giants closer to the recent Reaper Bones size of giants.. so you can fit two or three into a kit. sure they're smaller than the GW and mantic...
Time for an update! I've been able to grabsome more time to work on the lizards, and am happy with thier progress. I've made a final choice on shield design, a decision based on the combination of...
Please do not use the double blankets as shown. The basic uniform would be much more useful for several eras.
honestly, you could make dragon-men as a supporting kit for the Lizardmen, and take the same "cave people meets VSF" approach it has, with fairly generic 'barbarian' gear, but also some parts to ma...
speaking of 'fungal body horror', you could also take a tack similar to The Last of Us and have the fungal badguys being more of a "zombie" type enemy, looking like infected humans with fungal grow...
seems to me that if you do the tails as fairly generic and use clothing that covers most of the body, that in 28mm you could include both lizard and dog style heads as variants on the sprue.
15mm is closer to 1/100. 1/144 is closer to 10mm. 10mm is the scale of Adeptus Titanicus, Dropzone Commander, CAV, and at least one version of Battletech. 15mm seems to be the WW2...
@Hudson Adams I stand corrected.
I think it would be a fun and different box. Pulp sci-fi/horror mushroom-things? Reminds me of the William Hope Hodgson-inspired Japanese horror classic, "MATANGO: Attack of the Mushro...
The Release Schedule has listed an "Alternate Scale Test" for the last several weeks. I have no idea what that means - it can be read a few different ways. Seems like some of the more popula...
I kind of would like to see off brand 1/144 sci-Fi/modern troops to go with things like gundam kits.
Actually, given we are talking fantasy mushroom men here, all we really need is spears, single hand melee weapons and some claw hands. Maybe some sort of range weapon (for wizards staff just ...
The new line does seem to be named "General Accoutrements" and a link for it appears now on Wargames Atlantic's main page, and these would seem to be the things I know of that have been teased/reve...
Of what’s been mentioned Watchful would be my first choice (I know your doing warring states already but I would love to have more mix in options and their terracotta warriors would b...
Boxes. Pack mules. Ammo crates. Munitions piles. Spent bullet casings/ discarded mags. Barrels (wood, and metal oil barrels/ jerry cans) treasure chests. Market produce. Doors? Furniture, street de...
There a whole bunch of folks primarily making STL's and occasionally selling resin: Heresy Labs, and Anvil, ofc. Bob Naismith is still doing amazing stuff that isn't really available to those of us...
@John Eveson I may be one of a dozen people in the world that still plays Battletroops. Scatter terrain would be amazing for me.
@JTam Well if you are in the US I actually have some (read way more then I will actually use for my own undead conversions) plastic zombie arms and head parts I am welling to trade made by ...
@Jay Holman Yeah, no. Farmers, and for that matter civilians in general are not really "generic" and never will be. In the 17th-19th centuries alone they seemed to changed constantly and there are...
@Red Bee Pretty sure undead would just be classic fantasy, I think this range is more for things like every era horse carts, animals and generic terrain. Toy soldier wise at the very most I would ...
