@Yronimos Whateley Farm set or ox cart would be my guess with the cow.

@Grumpy Gnome Well you don't actually need GI Joe and Cobra to do an imagination game setting armies like them. In fact the US government has thoughtfully used your grandparents tax dollars to wri...
@Brian Van De Walker if you went with the Jannissaries in campaign dress(instead of the full dress they didn't use often in the later half of the renaissance and 18th C), if you gave a bunch o...
I don't own any Grognards models yet, or any WGA models for that matter, as I've been unemployed for most of the pandemic. But I hope to be employed soon. in the meantime, I've worked on some...
Mrs. GG and I like the diorama aspect of our wargaming so we love seeing animals and small terrain accessories bundled into the kits. As for want caught my eye... I am curious what the tracks were...
@Sebastian I do not have a 3d printer...yet anyway... but I still prefer plastic,for kitbashing and conversions, to resin. But thanks for the tip.
I honestly can not understand how I never considered an officially licensed GI Joe versus COBRA wargame. That is a money maker waiting to happen considering how well nostalgia sells. Look at the re...
@Yronimos Whateley Actually for Renaissance style fantasy in general I think Russia, Poland and Eastern Europe in general have more of a classic fantasy vibe to them than the age of discovery Euro...
@Yronimos Whateley I believe they have done a number of polls on this and Hudson has asked in other groups as well. In theory a bit box dolly set, which is what this proposal is really, is a good...
Great... I like that idea... perfect paintjob... Woud like to see more...
In 4 chance to win free hat
@BS Kitbasher I would rather have them in historical scale as a "make your own custom fantasy army" AB set in the classic fantasy line (kind of want bodies just like that, no one really sells the...
@BS Kitbasher the death fields range page says they are building towards a game release
Great work on this! I just saw a reconstruction of one in the latest Ancient Warfare Magazine. You really nailed it!
Really loving to see all this enthusiasm and being able to interact with the non-Facebook folks. Thanks for joining up!
@Joseph Bear how's this now?
@Yronimos Whateley@Yronimos Whateley Personally, given how compatible they are parts wise with the history sets, and the fact that the spiders, goblins, and lizard men sets work pretty well with e...
@BS Kitbasher The biggest problem is, WGA plastic is shiny and tough to cut through.More or less the same problem with Maelstrom's Edge kits.Newer models I heated in hot water, so plastic wou...
@Hudson Adams "I fear this would be the kind of thing that would annoy almost everyone because it wouldn't be perfect for anyone." You might be right about that, in any case. On the other ha...
The "Sneak Peek" feature of the weekly newsletter is my favorite part of WA's communications, and I thought it deserved a topic of its own, if nobody already started one (and I didn't see one if th...
@Lord Azn it's also an Apothecary Dreadnought. Because who wouldn't want a giant, Plasma Cannon equiped, walking coffin, with limit ranges of movement and fields of vision, as their doctor?
@Sebastian giant centipede cavalry would be absolute nightmare fuel. I love it!
"Hi, Stilton!" :) We're all mini-holics and plasti-crack addicts here....
I think a "Cold Warriors" line would be intriguing - there are all sorts of real conflicts that era covers, and there are alt-history type conflicts that would work such as a "Red Dawn" or "The Day...
I second Space Arabs/Bedouin/Touareg aka Desert Raiders or Dune Raiders. Dune Riders would also be a decent potential name. Cyborg Laser Camels optional. Dito for giant Sand Wor...ahm Centipedes.
A winged hussar..... dreadnought? Not a combo I was expecting but amusing nonetheless.
May the odds be ever in your favour
@Michael Jaffray I found the out of production Prodos Warzone take on futuristic Samurai quite good. I mean they would need some sort of rifles.
Totally rad to the max dude.
@Grumpy Gnome Copyright might be an issue, but if you have access to a 3D printer Bob Naismith has some great Skinnies on offer in STL form. A WGA take on the generic Greys should be popular and do...
@Paul Lucey Boiler suits = Cannon Fodder. Ape heads, check out Crooked Dice, although in metal.
@Vincent Helmus There's actually some decent ones as STL for 3D printing and there'll be a Kickstarter soonish by someone else for their own Sci-fi Romans. So 2 sources. But a WGA set would be cool...
Here is a copy of my post on the Facebook: A quick update on my cavalry but on BIIIIIIIKES project. While my cuirassier is awaiting parts, I went ahead with my hussar. This was a test model but it...
@BS Kitbasher yeah that's only GW. Plenty of other games out there don't suffer from that type of cycle. Besides they already mentioned there will be a game. Back on the rules, I also think we ne...
It seems to me that WA's existing and upcoming fantasy factions seem to overlap well with this era: Halflings, Goblins, Landsnecht Ogres,Trolls... With that in mind, I'm doing my best to "se...
@BS Kitbasher plenty of systems exist out there that don't have those problems. They don't need to make rules for every single faction and model kit they produce, just some general purpose stuff t...
My name is Stilton Disco, and I am an alcoho... wait, wrong forum. I started playing war with little painted toys when I was a young lad in the early 90's, firstly with stuff like my older...
I'd like to see the general orcish type filled by something slightly more alien, similar to the baddies from Galaxy Quest or The 5th Element. Rules would in my opinion be a misstep. ...
@david phillips super high tech space orc Mongolians would actually be pretty awesome. Riding jet bikes, conquering everywhere they can with rapid strike, merciless assaults, destroy...
Those helmet and mask conversions really look good. I can imagine how painstaking they must have been to achieve. They have a great faceless-evil-mook vibe.
Yeah, when I mentioned the space orcs, I wanted something more along brute style. I think smart orcs like the Spacejammer analogues would be great. Those were greatly loved due to how different the...
@Stilton Disco hey actually sci-fy orcs are a great idea. i was actually thinking about your proposal for genetic modification. early orcs were based on Mongolian tribes the hoard so to speak. whil...
Very nice! I like the ashen colour scheme with the odd dash of colour from weapons and decorations here and there!
@Brian Van De Walker That is a brilliant idea. They could even sell them with the Death Gields arm and head sprue as a viable force right out the gate. And if the clothing is loo...
Alright, in a covert attempt to flood the forum with my contents, I'll slowly add pictures of my kitbashes in most forum sections...:DThis time it's a mix of WWI German helmets and Grognard bodies....
Now that Brian mentions it, back in the 1980s, I did find a great little group of fantasy dwarves somewhere who were wearing pickelhaube-style helmets on simple cuirass-with-chainmail style bodies,...
@Forrest Wentworth I'm tempted to swap heads before.That head is big indeed, and maybe could work better on the taller body.I'm also waiting for ideas for the special/heavy weapon guy, so I pa...
Those are awesome! Like something out of a dark fairytale! Love it!
