parthians in plastic would be new! I second the idea of plastic artillery, there is a desperateneed for it
@Patrick Stoddart At least one of these spoked designs belongs to a legionary unit so that distinction wouldn’t be accurate
Agree with Brian Van De Walker. They really liked the great coats:
Again, honestly I think the Oathmark guy is the only one who looks out of place.
Here is another scale shot. WA irish, Oathmark Human Soldier, GW great sword, WA irish, Fireforge Northman, and Frostgrave female soldier.
The Oathmark guys are a little rounder and more comical than classic GW, But both scale well with Fireforge, So should be fine. Edit::The Oathmark guys... the heads seem very large, even whe...
Is there so much difference in scale between the Grognards and WW1 French miniatures? I think someone posted pics somewhere.... off to look.
@Yronimos Whateley
@Dalton McCormick Reference 1/56 versus 1/48 it's all I the eye of the beholder........ But in my experience 1/56 is just too small for 28mm. (I should do up a post with comparison pi...
@Grumpy Gnome Yes, this was at Campbell. He would always talk about how the Berlin BDE was the real 502nd. In between talking about Reforger, "Wild Chicken," and frauleins of cou...
Looks like a good model. Resin can be a bit more brittle than many hard plastic kits but with careful handling you should be ok in my experience....as long as you are not trying to do any convers...
@JTam Air Assault out of Fort Campbell? I was 4th BN, 502nd in Berlin.
I purchased 2 of these ballistas from a seller on Etsy and plan to create crews from the Wargames Atlantic Roman box. Anyone else use 3D printed models? I've heard they're more fragile than the typ...
@Estoc Not really, currently they are working through getting the original Eisenkern's back into production. New sculpts and new sprue layouts, no mention has been made of the support weapon set, ...
A standard FT 17 with a sci-fi upgrade sprue would probably be the best way for WGA to sell it. They could do the same thing with the Ketternkrad for the Germans and the Bren Carrier if they make W...
Maybe WGA could make a standard FT17 to support their WW1/WW2 French Infantry kit. And sell it with a second sci-fi bits sprue in a different box to support the Grognards. I vote...
A little sci-fi FT17. How would you sci-fi up/ modernize an FT17 to survive on a far future battleground? Smaller modern track links. Bigger, updated engine which causes changes...
@JTam Yea I saw his walker, its pretty awesome looking, but I was thinking the FT-17 as a regular tank would probably appeal to more people since its more "grounded" Some Einherher Bikers on soup...
Looks great so far. Looking forward to pics as painting progresses. Are you going to add heavy weapons?
Einherjer need Trikes. For reasons.
I really like the sci-fi FT17 idea. Did you see Pzkpfw Steves' awesome FT17 Sentinal here?: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44411/my-grognard-vehicle-3d-models Also of cour...
I realize there is another thread about tanks but wanted to make one more focused on the possibility of lighter vehicles. I personally would like Death Fields to focus more on skirmish gamep...
A typical WGA box seems to be roughly five of one sprue, with that sprue having five to six bodies for approximately 30 human type figures. Let's pretend we can get seven bodies on the sprue ...
Well, that's another thing I didn't know I needed till now ;) Looks like a fun rule set. I picked up Warhammer Ancient Battles a few months ago just for s*** and giggles. (Well actually bec...
Got a new reference book - "Officers and Soldiers of the French Army 1940" by Jouineau. Maybe these pics will help:
Exactly, JTam, regarding not letting scopeof the subject be a deterrent. Consider fantasy wargaming: that's a pretty broad topic right there, one that is limited only by the imagination!&nbs...
@Yronimos Whateley Not what I have been seeing on the FB group/page, the Shadowkesh for example only had a KS exclusive handler sprue and WA preveiwed some more beasties to go with them and there w...
Agreed, Brian: that might be the best idea, a sprue of orc heads! Dark Ages figures of all sorts are a good match for orcs, I think - the Irish and Goths look like great bases for more primi...
@Yronimos Whateley To me the best looking classic Tolkien style good human soldiers in plastic are probably the Normans by Conquest games and they probably look great next/opposed to WA's Goblins ...
By stopped production I meant new things. It's all re-release from the old company.
I'm not necessarily the target audience for these, but I think I'd prefer a main box with a good variety of heads and melee weapons (axes, swords, clubs, etc.), and then a generic spear-and-arcery ...
Frostgrave plastic figures mix well with Oathmark figures, so I think they'll both mix-and-match about equally well with the Conquistadors. You can tell that the Conquistadors do have more realist...
@Hudson Adams Personally, given how you've been doing fantasy thus far unless you already have renders, I think you should just do Orcs as a head swap sprue for your historical kits with various h...
@JTam my friends want to use the old warhammer historical rule set. I think it is called. "Over the Top?"
@John Wilson You`ve , now just thrown a curve ball, I thought I`d got em through "official" posts. like the trolls etc. So we will all have to hope and see. Fingers crossed all.
A believable "Alien" perhaps a bit like Battle LA, none human but farming humman parts for their drones.
@Yronimos Whateley WA have said they are only doing Iron Core infantry sets (resculpts and different sprues to the originals), however they have also said they aren't planning to do any vehicles bu...
I've heard that only some of the original Iron-Core sets would be reprinted by Wargames Atlantic, but I don't think that was an official statement directly from anyone in the know, just a rumor, an...
That's good to know as I intend to buy several of these sets in order to flesh out my Calpe Reserve battalions. I did a similar thing with Warlord plastic Landwehr and Calpe. If Perry comman...
@Chris Pryme Leave the Pelisse a separate bit I can glue on the shoulder ;) Although maybe leave the Hussar look for Grognards cavalry and have the Bulldog cavalry have a more of a 1800s, s...
Bulldog cavalry. Later Hussar style frogged jackets, but leave the Pelisse in the barracks.
@Tomasz Mankowski Reference "Renaissance" era Eastern European troops you of course correct on the huge amount of research needed. But I think that's true for almost any historical sub...
@Stephen Sutton Less spikes :) I was thinking of their depiction in the Iron Druid series. Particularly after the Aelfar and Dwarves started throwing in together.
@Grumpy Gnome My first squad leader was a Berlin BDE guy. This was when I was in 2nd BN, 502nd Infantry.
@Geoff Maybury They are WA (mainly from their weekly email) official teasers put together. All the teasers pics I've posted have been of official WA teasers, I'm just not part of WA in anyway...
@Grumpy Gnome Ah the penny drops and I see, yep, seems we both think the same of the New Twilight 2000. I bet the original gave you hairs on the back of your neck at times, plus a real sense of ult...
@Battle Specter Yep, but you know what, it was the friendship and the people that i miss, so it`s nice to have one back in our group. Keep in touch, let us know from time to time, what you wo...
Oh God John you have just shattered all our dreams, we thought these were WA, Teaserpics, I got so many small ones. So did you also post the modern weapon teasers with the glove, as its the same gl...
