Great choices! And if that stuff were made as a Raumjager expansion, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one buying the kit just for the chance of using the bits with cannon Fodder, Colonial Mari...
@Miyuso - check out what @David Musgrave has done with halfling war-balloons (link), what @Mac Coxhead has done with Dark Age Irish head-swaps onto viking halflings (link), and what @Grumpy Gnome ...
That soldier in the middle could be North African or mixed race mulatto, but also keep in mind that the French referred to all Sub- Saharan Afican troops from their colonies as 'Senegalese.'
Glad to hear that you are working this out. I am very eager to buy your Italian WW2 boxes as I need Breda machine gun crews to replace the 28mm Warlord Games 'Bolt Action' crews that I wasted money...
I have always been interested in the Eastern Front, so I'd love to see Austro-Hungarian, Serb, and Russian troops.
Since I play Saga, a box of 16 would be ideal. This should include 8 in mail and 8 without mail, and all figures should have javelins as an option.
Or one body a civilian/"exploring officer"?
@Yronimos Whateley right on I think a modern Carl Gustav inspired recoilless rifle would be pretty badass as well.
Exactly so, @Craig Baker - that's what I'm talking about! :) That fits the Raumjager prfectly, from what I've seen of their uniforms and gear!
All the better for historical gamers, then! Coming from a pulp/sci-fi/fantasy perspective, I'm really liking the look of these guys just for that weird retro-futurism-meets-dark-ages schizo-tech a...
Or one body a female trooper. Alt history that.
Maybe one body a camp follower.
So I'm in in the Silver Bayonet craze too. But I'm proposing dual use "Command Sets." Now the "traditional" way to build a Napoleonic gaming army is to build regiments with plastics and ofte...
Fantastic! I think I rememeber the newsletter mentioning the box printing being an issue now that you've jogged my memory. It's perfectly understandable: sounds like you're doing some...
I wonder, is the Kickstarter still running? My budget is objecting, but I might want to check that out - they all sound useful to me, except possibly the cavalry.
I think the jumpsuits also make for great uniforms for Colonial Marine pilots and drivers, maintenance and support personnel, and colonist militia and so on. Definitely a versatile set - the ...
Seems to me like the Raumjager do have a more modern-futuristic look to them than the standard WWII fare - I've not seen them close-up yet, but I believe they're even armed with rifles that look su...
@Yronimos Whateley There are a few companies out there who have really figured MDF out. As far as the material's name, I'm in America, and that's all I e ever seen it as. It's not *as* ...
Even and accessory sprue with big, muscular, bare arms, random "operator" weapons, and random-bandana-and-boonie-hat-and-shades-heads that fit on Colonial Marine style bodies would, I think, "sell"...
You know, I've never actually considered MDF as an option before. I don't think I've ever handled MDF before (unless it's called something else in the 'States), but those models look pretty g...
Humm, OK, going off the four les grognards set, I'd say Plasma cannon (similar to the squad one), a large MG 42, a mobile rocket battery something like a smaller V3 launcher, the final one somethin...
You know, Space Wolves remind me of something that hadn't occurred to me before: Militaristic Alien Space Cats. I've known more than a few monkey boys who would scream and leap at a c...
There are already tons of Greek/Hellenistic miniatures in plastic on the market from Victrix, Immortal, Wargames Factory, and Warlord. If WGA has to enter the market, I hope they give us some...
The Winged Hussars are such a popular request in this sort of thing, I'm really surprised nobody has produced models for them already. It seems to me like a pretty obvious cavalry kit to prod...
Fantastic - I forgot that the Cannon Fodder included a arms in those poses! :)
@Yronimos Whateley The head is from an old GW Fantasy Empire kit, everything else is Cannon Fodder aside from the greenstuffed Pipboy 3000
@JTam - True, but at 28mm scale and proportions, it's not going to look very different. The grips and shield are a little different, but not difficult to scratch-build. I'm not a great scul...
This is something that I would love!Two of the groups that I want to incorporate in my "Army of losers"( https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44627/how-to-build-an-army-when-not-pl...
That's fantastic! I'm not familiar with the game, but I get the general idea, and this character looks great. I'm not sure what the head came from, but the Cannon Fodder body is there of cou...
Actually now that people mention it I think an MG08 would be cooler looking then an MG 42 I also like the idea of a multi short shoulder mounted rocket luancher
This gentleman does some incredible conversions with 1/48 Panzerschreks: http://iagsmgm.blogspot.com/2018/05/panzerschreck-team.html?m=1 It's the route I'll probably take if WGA doesn't come out ...
@Yronimos Whateley The Goliath is a great choice for the Panzer Lehr. The Panzer Lehr Division used them in the fighting in Normandy. That being said it is not too difficult to use on...
The Raketenwerfer is pretty sci-fi already and fits the theme.
Dual panzerfausts mounted on a ground based launcher with targeting scope similar to a Milan ATGM team.
Yes! Been keen to see the Raumjager get a heavy weapons kit! Have to second some of the suggestions already mentioned. A generic gun carriage in the style of a Panzerbusche 41 or Pak 38/40, with o...
When I experimented with Raumjäger Heavy Weapons, one I started with was a 37mm PAK in 1:48 scale that I added another barrel on top of. And I am pretty ok with the result, so I think it would...
Something like the M-25 CDTS mini/smart grenade launcher - seems like light troops would want a multipurpose weapon system that could fire a variety of grenades.A bullpup anti-materiel rifle like t...
You could go for something absurd, like a shoulder-mounted weapon shaped like a giant luger, or possibly this failed prototype aircraft repurposed into a personal glider, like the green goblin used...
@Vane Dolenc While unlikely, I would wish for a redo with the miniatures being closer to the concept art. The concept is really cool. The execution maybe a little less so. ...
Polish Winged Hussars. An iconic historical troop type. Also has appeal for fantasy players, and possibly with some extra parts or kit bashing - sci-fi. Still not available in 2...
Lascannons, heavy bolters, rocket launchers, etc. mounted to sci-fi kettenkrad chassis.
The sadly deceased Dust 47 Luftwaffe forces might have some inspirations. Updated Fliegerfausts (man portable ADA)? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fliegerfaust
If we are talking anti tank rifles, I remember suggesting this a while ago on facebook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solothurn_S-18/100 Pretty much good to go and with a few cosmetic changes if ...
I'd say a heavy laser rifle/rail gun in the style of an anti tank rifle like the PzB 39 - I belive they also had a ww1 AT rifle that was similar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerb%C3%BC...
