@Yronimos Whateley  I think you might be onto something there!

First off - great catch on the Warring States Chinese being the set behind the Great Ribbon Mystery - hats off to everyone who called that one early!  I thought that the Chinese had been ruled...

These: Plus female Cannon Fodder = Awesome Space Opera Adventure.

@Dan Morgan  Yes, it's a pricey set.  I grabbed a single sprue at a decent price during one of their sprue sales.

I am using my copy of the osprey MAA Armies of the Russo-Polish war 1919-21.  I may also dig my copy of an encyclopaedia of WW1 uniforms which I have somewhere in my attic.  The good th...

@JTam I don't think so. I have a book called The Bear Went Over the Mountain. Which is a book of translated military encounters produced by the Soviet Frunz Academy.

Yeah, that's some good kitbashing.

If you want to try something different go with WWII French. Pretty much the same uniform but they used a shade of brown instead of the horizon blue.

@JTam Interesting but I'm not that keen on paying the Warlord tax.

@Christopher Tyrer  What references are you using? I too am going back and forth on the uniform.  The early gray/green may win out as I understand many troops ended the war still wearin...

These look promising. I presume some Russian troops are in the works.

@Christopher Tyrer  I'm not sure Cossacks were big on the bedroll at the front of the saddle. A lot of other cavalry did have the forward bedroll: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xen...

@JTam  I honestly haven't made my mind up yet. To tell you the truth, my first thought was the late war khaki uniform but the idea of basing the figures on the early war army with all of their...

Update as of 11 MAR 22:

@Grumpy Gnome  Nice.  Yup, that would work. Maybe steal a doggo from the WGA German Sentry kit?  

@Christopher Tyrer  Awesome project. I want to try the same thing.  I got a test frame of WGA Germans from Ebay that arrived yesterday. Thanks for the source of appropriate Polish he...

I  have got some Polish heads from Siberian Miniatures. My order got shipped just before it all kick off in Ukraine & I received it this week.  I'm making my Polish Infantry using th...

@JTam  I'll go with Cossacks.

Sneak Peak - 11 MAR 22   Ho*y Cr*p.  Is that some sort of 20th Century plastic cavalry?  Is it finally happening?   Is the rider holding a lance?

👍

We've had our first shot of the painted Japanese from Jason Frowde at Painting Knights. More to come next week! 

What are you planning to do with these kits? I'm going to plus up my Rogue Trader era Necromunda Regiment.  Add plasticard shoulder pads and a little disk on the left breast and you're at a 8...

I neglected to mention that the Gripping Beast Picts do provide one crossbow on each sprue. That's a total of 5 per box. I  know some of us might use the heavy spears in these boxes as javelin...

Anyone else hyped for the upcoming female Cannon Fodder? Love this.  For those not hip with modern AK gun running:  The charging handle on an AK/AKM/AK-74 is on the right s...

Well it looks like the answer to the great leg ribbon debate of 2022 might have been in front of our eyes the whole time: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/new-range-warring-states Enhanc...

This kit would also be useful for representing Polish cavalry in the Polish Soviet War. (Kapral, 4th Lancer Regiment, Polish Army, April 1919)  

@Ian Valentine  Nice intell.  Thanks! I wonder if they have a Stateside distributor?

I also recommend these Iron Clad Miniatures trenches.  By my calculations you can get around 4ft of trenches for less than £100, and I'm very pleased with mine. Possibly a bit shallow a...

@Cole Lassell  Metal/resin can have its place for odd poses,  sometimes better flow, or special equipment. Good point though, the WGA Partisan kit should work really well for this game.

Yeah the plan seems to be, 2 sets of plastic and then specific characters and expansion packs as metal options.    Personally I dont understand the desire for metal and would just kitba...

WIP on a Krieg kill team.

Well, Genestealer Cultist arms work quite well on Cannon Fodder bodies, but older Warhammer heads look a little bit small. Not too out of proportion though, thankfully.   Another Grognard,...

I may get some for the diversity of heads but that is disappointing news. The photos of the GB Irish did not not get me very excited either. GB needs to up their game to keep up with Victrix and WGA.

How things have changed!

@William Redford  That dude was so big when he shouldered his way through friendly troops that I thought they CGI'd him.  Nope, he's just short of 7 feet.

That Thessolonian you are fighting, he's the biggest man I have ever seen. I wouldnt want to fight him...   And that's why no one will remember your name...

The face that launched a dozen kits.

Howdy, I'm a late millennial gamer from Minnesota. My primary wargaming experience for the last twenty years has been with Battletech and Battletroops, but my wife has exposed me to a much broader ...

Or (and I prefer this) we can fully embrace the mythology.  (Or make add on/optional rules for adding mythology to the "historic" game.) Gods may briefly appear on the battlefield.  (Ath...

Or maybe something like "Of Gods and Mortals"? Not necessarily having the gods in the game.  But treating the top tier heroes (Diomedes, Hector, Achilles, etc.) as just short of. (Like a...

A supporting rule set could be amazing.   Maybe a little something like 4th edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles.  Rank and flank units clash, but heroes can have a massive effect.&nbs...

The afore mentioned hoop armor with boar tusk helmet: A figure eight shield:

One set could represent the lightly armed skirmishers and bowmen. Another set could represent rankers. Yet another set could build heroes. (Ajax) (Agamemnon) Need similar set(s) for th...

What-plastic-ancients-miniatures-we-need? How about a line of miniatures set during the Trojan War 12/13th century BC. The Illiad is a transcendent work. Who cannot be excited about this e...

Howdy, I'm new here and pretty exciyted about the possibility of a game developing around one or more of these lines, so I thought I'd add some feedback. I come from the skirmisher side of wargami...

Found one more picture floating around the web in relation to the 02 Hundred Hours game: He might be from the plastic set or he might not be.  I believe Gray For Now Games is also doing som...

@JTam Its also possible they mistook a Universal Carrier for a allied version of the borgward. Anything is really possible with the fog of war tho.

@William Redford  Boom!  Thank You.

Picture of the WGA plastics - both sets! Well there's a dog(s) so the set's success is assured.
