For visibility:
@Brian Van De Walker You are thinking knights, I'm thinking more on the witcher look. The picture I put as an example is a fantasy interpretation of an Almogavar mercenary. The talk unfortu...
@Eduard Garfella Gosh I wish that was true😆. @Charles Tottington Thats is kinda why I think they should just do cultists as cultists and not mix it with the Monks,witchs,etc. into it. Heck, the su...
In just a few hours ALL will be revealed!
Lets see what happened.... Looks like I'm not the only one who brought that Idea to WGA.
i wasn't in the KS, but i'll probably pick up a few. not sure if i'll ever run an army that needs them, but they'll make good terrain and objectives for skirmish games. hopefully there wil...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, given how loaded my free sprues list is with stuff I'm probably going to take forever building, I might just replace most of my ordered boxes with vehicles to run them fo...
I'm going to be putting my two cents into this long and exhausting convo via a numbered list. Monster Hunters. Honestly, I can totally get both sides. Victorian/Pulp Monster Hunters would be sup...
@William Redford Any brand worth its salt should guarantee compatibility between its kits.
Also, I posted this on Facebook, but the Conquistadors and roman citizens kitbash nicely.
Hey everyone. Its been a while since I have been on these forumns. I wanted to say that I am not a huge victorian fan either, but I would bet they would sell well. As far as reaper minis... ...
Well anyway one of the reasons that I think a vague 19th look for monster hunters would be best so we can get classic Vampires at the same time by simply adding some fanged headswaps. Anyone else t...
Well, after looking over what I could see, looks like you could probably use whatever models you want and do fairly good sized forces, probably Boltaction sized armies.
@Charles Tottington I am going be honest as soon as I saw the redesigns and compared them with the older STLs, I kinda of thought they lost some of the post apoc vibs they had for military uniformi...
@Mithril2098 ha don't worry about it!
The truth is that we have digressed in a bad way, but I think that the conclusions we have drawn have been good, and we have touched on interesting topics.
Well this thread exploded. I'm sorry for apparently derailing this whole thing by suggesting Bloodborne style "Monster Hunters" as the second post, but there aren't really any Multi-part kits for ...
@Mithril2098 Tou´re right, it´s no secret that the quality of GW minis has dropped a lot in terms of customization, probably because they aspire to reach an audience that wants everythi...
@Eduard Garfella the irony of you saying the reaper figure isn't suitable because it's monopose, then posting GW's monopose 3d puzzle figures as the alternative.. seriously, look at these sprues. ...
@Vitor Correia You can take the swords of another kit.
In adition, these miniatures are 32mm scales, not 28mm, that is to say that in the scale that interests us, they do not even exist. And on top of that, they are absurdly expensive.
@Eduard Garfella I know, hence why i I said it's easy to be disingenuous. Thats reaper miniatures btw. No one can argue the quality of GW but the price is shocking. I don't dislike th...
@Vitor Correia Don´t take this wrong way, but the quality of that miniature you passed is not up to par with what is made today, and furthermore, it is monopose. This is the level now.
@Mithril2098 The GAU-19 looks cool! Though I can see why WGA went for the 6 barrel since that is the more famous gatling gun in pop culture. My thoughts on it are..... mixed. I can see it working ...
Soooo...... this is news to me. Apparently Five Parsecs from Home is getting their own wargame varient that is compatible with the regular skirmish game.... I. Am. HYPED!!!!! I mean I was already t...
It looks like reaper miniatures sorts your Victorian monster hunter look aswell. See how easy is it be disingenuous. I will keep my opinion, by all means keep yours. Edit: Like I pre...
@Vitor Correia I don’t see much, if any real difference between your fantasy knight example picture and real historical example of armor knights wore that I have seen at all! (frankly it look...
@Brian Van De Walker I left my sugestion here, the correct place for sugestions, and yet again, I'm not interested in conversions, historicals or victorian monster hunters. I don't want just medie...
@Mithril2098 GAU-19 style would be cool, but I get the feeling the real issue is the gun handle.
@thomas lapoint Now that is not a bad thought.
@Vitor Correia Bro what you have been asking for this whole time is "medieval warriors/guards/mercenaries" there is no diffrence between that and "Town Guards" or even "medieval monster hunte...
ah crud. i must have read the date wrong. (and my own sense of time been a little wonky since summer started, so it sure felt like a long time) now i feel like an idiot
@Mithril2098 by "two weeks" do you mean yesterday? 🙄
myself i rather like the design, with one big exception. i feel the flamethrower in the bow casemate is far too long, and the way it projects out makes the design feel 'off' to me. i figure if the...
so about two weeks ago WGA posted a teaser of the Damned vehicle kit on the dakkadakka forums News and updates area, in the WGA thread. as it was stated to be a dakka exclusive sneak peak, i didn't...
The thing I would want to see the most would be Qing matchlockmen. The vast majority of Qing soldiers who had firearms were using matchlocks even up to the First Sino-Japanese war but all the firea...
@Eric Jackson The review team tells me there is no body 10 and 13 files. The bodies only go up to 08. Could you please clarify your issue, perhaps with screenshots?
what size bases do they need? i've assembled a sprue of them but i'm terrible at trying to figure out how big of a footprint stuff needs, evern once assembled. and i'd prefer them not to be hanging...
@Redscope Minis those are mostly for the two-handed weapons. There is a plain left arm to achieve this and there is also D2 which you can just cut the ax away from and use in that slot if you want ...
Nobody said it was. I just said it already well covered, and I agree it's popular like medieval warriors/guards/mercenaries are. Calling a niche is a stretch, but not nearly as well covered apparen...
The victorian aesthetic is not the propiety of GW, but for the pice of their witch hunters they have shown us their popularity. I think that the niche of western warrior/guards/mercenaries is well ...
My suggestion is exactly to move away from the GW look. Witch Hunter/Inquisitor troupe is already well covered. Rather have a group of mercs/soldiers/guards with a healthy selection of...
I think it is simpler. GW has (or had) a practical monopoly, and that deteriorates the quality-price of its products. WA is one of the companies that supply a more non-conformist public with the qu...
I seem to recall that there might have been contemporary sets on the schedules way back when this set was first released, but it's been a while, and if there were I'm not sure if WA is still develo...
@Brian Van De Walker Edit after reading through: Oh, and WA shouldn't bother doing medieval monks and witchs for plastic, they should just do cultists 1 and 2 sets since those would actual...
Frostgrave wizards seem like another good business model for plastic miniatures to me. Few miniatures but countless bits.
@Paul Mitting Same here - the Frostgrave figure sculpting is just a bit shorter and doughier than I'd like, but there's a wealth of great accessories in those Frostgrave Wizards boxes - between tho...
@Yronimos Whateley I would love to see the kind of accessory sprue you are talking about! Any number of bodies would work depending on the era, but having heads and arms equipped appropriately woul...
@Eduard Garfella Forgotten World is Fireforge's Fantasy setting line and you would see what's gotten made for it under thier fantasy section banner, a lot of the sculpting for the human factions wa...
@Yronimos Whateley I am going to level with you 1/56 works best with historical "scale" minis, so it would probably work okay with the more realisticly proportioned Eisnkern particularly if your wa...
