I would be more interested in Ogres... But since Wargames Atlantic is making Ogre Landsknecht i dont really need them... but at the same time they could add diversity to the group as a whole. Lokks...
If anyone ever watches this, who is your favorite character? Mine is the long suffering servant / ex-Soldier. I didn't count them, but I strongly suspect he quietly stacked more French bodies tha...
Interesting. Looks like an ogre to me. Even has the gut plate (tm).
Editing the title here as this has been relaunched. This was originally in the Rennaisance section as they have landsknecht-ish ogres... A dedicated thread was put in the off topic section ...
A head sprue with heads in M38 Panamka hats would be neat. Combine with M38 tunic bodies for adventures in the Stans or Operation Contenance - the joint English/Russian invasion of Iran in 1941....
Russian or not, the torsos seem perfect for Jedi or similar sci-fi characters.
I'm hoping to get into some fantasy wargames soon so I'd appreciate a decent horse kit that isn't closely tied to a particular era or theme. My first thought is that bare horses with optional saddl...
Some standing horses would be nice, but make them bare and do some seperate sadles and blankets and packs, even if they come in two parts for each one in order to get a decent fit onto the horse wo...
@Axel Schudak Thank You. Interesting.
Those bodies are surely "20th Century" russians. The "gymnastyorka" was the common smock of the imperial russian Army and uniforms and equipment of the common soldier didn't change much between 18...
@JTam >What would those look like? What differentiates them? Headgear and beards. French, especially Gascons, are reported with long hair and beards. Italians more clean sha...
@Hudson Adams I certainly need many of these to field units lingering around on a battlefield, and not all of them in full charge regardless of where they are. A look at the otherwise splend...
They would be useful - i have a large number made years ago (so more like ponies nowadays!) for some mongols, some with heads turning and other relaxed poses, brilliant - can dig them out and send ...
@Yronimos Whateley Kind of have to agree, in fact when I read and foolishly voted "with furniture" I was assuming (very incorrectly😆) that they would come with scenery bits like chairs, shelves, e...
Currently working on Wild West stuff and these would fit right in. Not sure how much of a market there is for period specific gear but bare horses would go well with most periods and locations
@Hudson Adams Lots of bayoneted rifles, swords, a pistol, looking great so far, I don’t really know what’s up with the bedrolls but they seem to be a touch unpopular in comments and fr...
I would like to see them made with bridles potentially already on but leave saddles, armour and tack on a separate sprue. As mentioned, it would meanyoy have a generic horse with the fiddly bits of...
Yeah, I am familiar with that comparison. However, it is one thing to see photos/videos.... it is quite another to see things in person. I will feel better when I have some WGA Italians to personal...
With furniture please! While blankets are easy to sculpt, bridles and reins are not! And they are time consuming and fiddly.
Vikings are toast with that armored car in the mix! Seriously though, great job.
I voted for bare! I would love them for a wild west stable. Also bare can be a horse from any era, ancient to WW2 and everything inbetween.
@Cole Lassell To be honest, I would say it is a general fiction trope based somewhat on history and myth, I know the US also had some girls crossdressing to fight during the revolution, and I beli...
Elaborated on the WW1/WW2 Cossack kit idea here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/49886/suggestions-for-new-soviet-kits (Entry 10 at the bottom)
@Don Williams I believe one kit could cover WW1and WW2 Cossacks. Maybe it could even cover the Russo-Japanese War? Need to research that. Check out the comparisons and thoughts ...
Echo all the above - bare horses because it leaves the most room for kitbashing. Most cavalry units in wargames are units of 12, sometimes less. An ideal box might be 12 standing/grazing ho...
10. Cossack Cavalry. This a complex subject. Every host had their own traditions. But in GENERAL Cossacks could be broken into two main groups. The Steppe Cossacks a...

@Hudson Adams Bare, but with tack sets produced as upgrade sprues
Bare horse standing or walking but also some form of option to add basis saddle, or furniture for pulling wagons so large neck collar and small straps that could be used as harness lines. May...
@Grumpy Gnome One more factor for your mental calculus. The Warlord metal Italians are the smaller end of 28mm. The newer WGA Italians appear to be on the upper end. Screens...
Generic horses, with separate releases for various historical era cavalry (ancient, dark ages, etc). You could then include the saddles with the riders.
How about cavalry for Russo-Japanese War? Cossacks could be used for WW1 as well
I think stationary horses would work well for things like the SS cavalry for bolt action, but this also means we need to know what type of riders or if any you plan for these horses.
I would be interested, but only a sprues worth. Don't think this would be something that would sell well in a full box. As others have said most people are just going to want a few.
I would suggest bare horses with furniture, blankets and saddles as separate parts on the sprue. If possible.
The latest teaser looks like a clear match with some Russo-Japanese War or WW1 Russians. The head that was teased earlier has the visor and cockade placed on the brim rather than the crown, but the...
I would be interested in a box. If the Sprue includes a running horse & a dead one; more.
I'm not sure I can see buying a box of nothing but standing, grazing, bare-back horses, but if you make them part of a larger set of some sort, that might get the most bang for the production buck....
The painted mini is a 28mm metal Warlord Italian Infantry... I believe. You know how eBay goes. The painting standard was better than what I expected from the auction photos.
Great. Now I can't shake the need to cover one with 1/48 tank stowage bits.
Bare horses minus any tack would be more versatile and could fit a lot more genres. Even if you did a basic, or generic tack set, they'd only be suitable for the timeframe of when that (or similar...
It depends on the price. They might be easier to justify buying per sprue for a specific project rather than per box with too many to use right away.
@OrlandotheTechnicoloured Dried "wet wipes" work well too. They evenly stretch to the sides and do not have a pronounced texture, which is good for scale.
Thay settles that: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/new-set-announcement-early-20th-century-japanese
@Grumpy Gnome The Warlord 1/56 is clearly too small. My guess is the too big Atlas brand model is 1/43. This supports the 1/50th and/or 1/48th being the sweet spot. What brand/what i...
@Grumpy Gnome white glue soaked tissue paper also works really well for simple fabric like blankets
