Tbh its not as easy to rescale your product lines. i also think theere there are alot of companies doing 15mm already. 10mm and 6mm are super niche and dont need much in the way of detail products.
Converting Cannon Fodder to Space Marines from Aliens
Would be interesting to see some historical Arab or Indian cultures with sci-fi weaponry. Other than that maybe Vietminh geurillas with hi-tech weapons who focus on ambushes  ...
Great concept, the blue really connects the unit.
The conquistidor set will cover most Spanish, Portuguese, and HRE forces in the age of discovery period. (Also to a degree mercenaries) with a little converting you can make them pass as English an...
If we're to get space orcs.. I want something unrelated to GW, mantic, and Tolkien's versions. Give me a Scifi take on D&D pigfaced orcs (higher tech gamorreans?), Or uplifted chimpanzees, or w...
@David Musgrave that's going to be, I think, the primary use of them. They are different, especially compared to the GW orcs based off the Peter Jackson trilogy, but I think they'll be f...
Aaaah, brings back those wonderful 90s vibes. 🎶Those were the daaaays!🎶 Also, love the Angry Marines in the second pic. "ALWAYS ANGRY! ALL THE TIME!!!"
I'm going to be using mine for Five Parsecs from Home by Nordic Weasel. Just waiting on the female Cannon Fodder to place my order.
Herculani and Ioviani would be nice. Note that many units hat Seniores and Iuniores Formations with similary decoration but different colours.
My multi-race army is slowly shaping up :)
Though there are no official rules for Persians yet, I will base mine for SAGA. They have Ancients covered with Age of Hannibal and there will be an Age of Alexander Book in the future. I hope the...
So thats 7 new WA sets then. Assuming all from that kickstarter are being made by WA. 1) the Sloop 2) the sailors 3) the soldiers 4) the cavalry 5) the militia 6) the natives 7) pirate...
Mortal Gods by Footsore could work! Smaller points for Warhammer Ancient Battles. I'm sure there is a Lion Rampant version out there too or Osprey's Men of Bronze?
I've bought some persians, what rules do you guys use for ancients? I'm not sure what to go with. I'm probably looking for a lower model count, so some sort of skirmish.
When I first saw the banner I immediately thought wow WGA is tackling naval combat in the ancient world... Trimerenes etc 😂🤣🤔 animal set looks great, looking forward to seeing the WW1 weapons teams
My thoughts echo those of @David Musgrave. I find WA Goblins to be excellent for Tolkienesque gaming.
Very versatile kit - hope to grab a box to make some Germanic-style auxillaries for a fantasy project.
@John Wilson i remember Ring of Red, loads of fun
I can see a lot of spare space when it comes to early empires in Bronze Era, but there are also some hellenistic period units which would be great to have.The Thureophoroi set is coming - I hope th...
About half the heads are quite "LotR orc" like and if using regular historical stuff they scale well - they will look tiny next to gw warhammer/sigmar orcs but kitbash fine along side oathmark gobl...
Seriously, it almost certainly is a Wargames Atlantic product. Compare the table in WA's Goth preview.... Looks amazing!
Lion Rampant is a great foundational rule set that lends itself to so many conversions. Great stuff.
In Tolkien (the books) goblins and orcs are the same thing and we felt this was about right for the look. Of course, the movies and D&D and everyone since have decided that since he used two na...
thanks to my son, we've been devouring a ton of Tolkien related material. How has the group found the goblins as proxies for 'regular' orcs in table top gaming?
There was a discussion (with a poll) some time ago on FB about ranges by Wargames Atlantic done in different Scales. Let's use this Thread to talk about this topic. A Range of WW2 and Cold War the...
Those are nice Miniatures, fitting for most Germanic People of Late Antiquity.
@Simon Boulton Similary to the germanic Guards on that Fresco with Emperor Justinian and Belisarius.
For the New KIngdom Egypt, the logical Range expansions for Enemies would be Hittites, then followed by Sea People (which also can act as mercenaries). Arzawa States (Troy) and Mycenians would als...
Thanks guys we're trying!
Hopefully they include heavy weapons in the base set. I really liked the heavy weapons set. Wasn't so keen on the limited selection of weapons, but I understood why.
The animal set absolutely does look like it'll be a lot of fun - I know some other company already has a similar set out there somewhere, and it is a nice enough set, but variety is quite welcome, ...
I know exactly what you mean - back in the day, I used to have a large collection of 1/144, 1/72, and 1/48 stuff, in addition to some 2" figures, and 25mm-28mm stuff, and kind of mixed-and-matched ...
I saw these adaptations of the Lion Rampant rules when they were first created and thought it sounded like my kind of project. Unfortunately most of the ranges in metal were a bit too expensive for...
Arrr, be there pirates in the works? That certainly looks like the same table the Goths preview was photographed on, and if so, that's awesome - I can hardly wait! The ship alone ...
Bronze Age/Trojan War -- Glad to see New Kingdom Egyptians in the works, but I'm hoping WA also rounds out the rest of the field with Mycenaeans, Trojans, Babylonnians, Hittites, Mitanni, Luwians, ...
I see great minds think alike! Mine are obviously for the upcoming Space Brits.
honestly i'd hope that if WGA does "space jungle fighters" they'd draw more on the Colonial Marines from Aliens than on the Games Workshop Catachans. even if they end up being used as the latter, b...

We are doing the first work on transfers now. Designs are in progress and we're talking to several printers for higher volume production.
Great news! Thank you WA staff for your hard work.
Today's article mentioned Firelock. Is Wargames Atlantic the ones doing the pirate sloop and crew for that kickstarter? The Sprues certainly look like WA... what section would be the place to talk ...
This is exciting news. Also, goats.
Currently trying to Persianize my Halflings. Will take any suggestions regarding this you may have!
I can imagine Aussies giving anything a go when it comes to mounts
Something riding Camels
Something that may interest others is that Mantic are putting out a new version of Warpath: Firefight. Good use for Deathfields Minis!
Great article, love the animal idea.
I started with a real mix of scales, when my first really modern R.P.G. came out,it was. Twilight 2000. God over the years, we used 1/72, 1/ 87, 1/48. 1/200th. Guess what 8 people buying, and...
