If it helps, I think Games Workshop has some (perhaps expensive, as GW products tend to be) licensed plastic Lord of the Rings miniatures in the general Peter Jackson style. These do look fan...
Ah! I keep forgetting all about Victrix. I really ought to check in on what they've been doing lately - I'd bought a few Dark Ages warriors from them many years ago, but it was a bit of...
I'd like to see Assyrian infantry*, and some generic Mesopotamian infantry and civilians. If some of the weapons and armor pieces can be made cross-compativle with the skeleton set, even better. *...
So I'll address the elephant in the room. Any Raumjager heavy weapons sets that have weapons roughly equivalent to GW ones are going to sell inordinately better. I just saw a PAK chassi...
I can only see one pic, and I think it looks dope. Like a grungy scifi version of the warriors we dealt with in the middle east over the last 20 years. Grim, desperate, but full of hope/hate. I dig...
bastille frequency guns were a missed oppurtunity on the grognards, but they might work on the raumjager.
Seeing as we're likely going to see the death of the space cavalry from a certain game company, maybe someone should take up the mantle and make some cool thematic scifi horse troops. Also, Posleen...
Teufel Hunden. Because reasons.
Those look like the UAMC line from the now defunct Defiance Games. Which, if it's a rehash, I got no problems. I really liked the aesthetic of those guys. And if this is a rehash of that company, t...
@Grumpy Gnome you sir are a super star, thats a great read, and the PDF`s brilliant, nice bit of realism. You know, if ever a virus made us like 28 days, I really wonder how many gun toteing people...
@Yronimos Whateley Warlord Games are great at marketing, but quality of miniatures is variable. Some are fine, others are awful.
Is free. Ottomans would be cool to see. I know someone used the German bodies with some 3D printed heads and it looked great. But I don't have a printer, so a box set would be amazing.
Painted up some machine gun teams from another company. And then I saw the renders of the new French machine gun teams! I'm sure I'll buy those too. 😁 Technically I did add a Wargames Atlantic m...
@Travis Johnson I'd definitely be interested in an hard plastic exo-suit design, armoured or unarmoured. I've actually got a couple from the endure the stars boardgame and some from the Sediti...
@Yronimos Whateley It`s hard to put into content the fad of figures, I love cannon fodder, but won`t buy them for the zips and guns. Taking as a starting point, Rale Partha with Shadowr...
@Yronimos Whateley thanks for the advice! I'm trying to build a Kings of War army that has both Humans and Halflings, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out!
I'm still trying to work out how to use the site, it has been ages since I last used a proper forum :)Anyway here is some of the guys I painted today:Some strom troopers and normal gue'vesa for the...
I think it'd be interesting to do Space Afghasty for Space Soviets, as a departure from the typical view of Soviet pastiches of Ushankas and Greatcoats.
Victrix do “ancient” war elephants and are not difficult to convert for other settings. I have seen them converted for various fantasy projects.
What about an army tht terrified half of Europe at the time? One of the first professional armies that brought low ancient empire. With options for both ranged and melee troops in exotic dress and ...
I wouldn't be surprised if GW's going to be doing a new Catachan range (well, new base infantry box - the heavy weapons teams and command squad are fine) to coincide with the next Guard codex - all...
Sorry for that triple post, but if you make something that's a cross between the first picturw and the second, you're gonna be Everybody's hero. Make the suit seperate from the soldier so it is eas...
Here is my idea or two: Since the Raumjagers are based on WW2 Fallshirmjager so I would draw my inspirations from there. In Grognards HW box we have choice of 4 weapon types and two mounts. Heres ...
I was actually writing up a more detailed post where I broke down the size of the Goliath and its crew, and decided not to post it as I was in danger of getting carried away: The Goliath might h...
WW1 Cossack cavalry as seen below center: MIGHT work with alternate weapons and some heads for WW2 Cossack cavalry in Soviet and German service. It would be a cool dual (triple?) purpose ki...
@Don Williams I like the idea of more nations getting releases but I also want them to keep adding to the exsisting. Def be cool to see some more minor nationa if anything getting upgrade sprues fo...
@Yronimos Whateley All above true. But really a Goliath isn't much bigger than a person. One company casts their 28mm Goliath as one chunk of metal.
Very true: a lot of these options really don't take up very much room on sprues. The Goliath might take up a little more sprue real-estate than it seems, but most of this equipment sure...
In my experience, Games Workshop's "heroic" proportions have been some of the more outlandish, followed by Reaper's, particularly in some of the older, hand-sculpted models. Proportions seem...
Panzerschreck and MG42 in heavy mode (with tripod): One kneeling Panzerschreck gunner with prone AG. One kneeling or prone (using optic) MG42 gunner with prone AG. Extra set of arms wi...
Some ideas for the set: Just Panzerschrecks: Prone Panzerschreck body, prone assistant gunner with rocket, kneeling gunner, and kneeling assistant gunner for four bodies. Two Panzerschrecks ...
You're not alone: I think that those three factions, along with the Ottoman Turks, have been some of the more popular requests for WWI factions. Some discussions around kit-bashing Aust...
Yes - camels and war elephants both seem to come up in topics about cavalry a lot, and as far as I know, Reaper is one of the few (if not only) manufacturers out there making either war elephants (...
@Yronimos Whateley I enjoyed it. The core box is a great value. You get a rule book, a play mat, 2 ships and 2 sets of sailors for like $120. I bought it just for some cool minis, but now plan to s...
It does look like it would have been fun for post-war off-roading, too - I imagine the people who got hold of surplus examples after the war must have really enjoyed it, or at least put them to har...
Thank you! Good to know. Looks like it was a great Kickstarter!
@Yronimos Whateley the kickstarter is over. The pledge manager is still open though so they may still be allowing late backers.
I noticed Russian and Spanish Napoleonic sets are on the WGA release schedule. A "Command Set" for those armies should surely include a Priest. I think you literally cannot have too muc...
Oh, great catch, Grumpy! :) I think I could get hooked on these fictional training scenarios. "Planners... also realized that training examples for plans must accommodate the political fallo...
The Kettenkrad was for logistics and could fufill just about every role that a jeep did (light tow, transport, casevac) but with far better off road mobility.
I'm a civilian and several inches over 6' tall, but in my limited experience, even larger tanks seem outlandishly crowded and cramped to me. Those tiny tanks would make me look like the carto...
@Yronimos Whateley Some great suggestions. I agree with regards to basing stuff more on modern weapons rather than WW2 ones.
@david phillips What are you talking about? Are you confusing the Raumjäger with the Einherjar (Viking symbols)? Why would you load a cannon with axe heads in a sci-fi setting?
