One thing to look out for are the compilation books that offer quite a bit of savings, such as Rome and Her Enemies or Soldiers of the Dragon.   I don't know if this is a good place to get i...

@JTam Hi pal,  built 3 Marines, gosh guys, I`m impressed, i`ll get some more done today and photo them with the the Kit boxes as back ground. Tam I had a real shock with the Centurion, modern...

Most 28mm artillery crews are dress in summer uniforms.   Being a gunner is rather a active job & in summer months can get very hot & demanding for the gun crews.  With this...

@Grumpy Gnome No problem.  Next, I'm trying to figure out a flame thrower for the cannon fodder. 

Is it just me, or if you cut off the bayonet and tip of the barrel on the rifles it suddenly takes it from an Imperial Guard Lasgun vibe to a more Colonial Marines Pulse Rifle feel?  I think I...

@Cole Lassell  I will be watching with interest. I am particularly interested in your ideas on how to convert to Kriegsmarine.

Clever! Thanks for sharing that.

Oh, I also ended up with a box of Cannon Fodder and I have dived in. I will say, that skin tone paint looks much better on the tabletopthan it does in photos.

@JTam At least its organized.

@Slow Painter Thanks for the compliment on the lizards.  I really like your conversion as well.  It fits really smoothly together. As to how I made the lizardman rocket launcher, I took ...

Someone asked elsewhare how I made my lizard man rocket launcher from the lizard man sprue, but it seemed more appropriate to make it's own topic instead of picture dumping on another thread. So i...

Very cool project.  Looking forward to watching the project log progress. Do you have a tentative 1000 point list already?

@Kinjack   Thanks You. A talented man.

So with the Panzer Lehr on its way I started working on a project, I have been working on a paint scheme for the future release. My current plan is simple, A 1000 point BA Panzer Lehr army. For th...

@Geoff Maybury  No picture of your pile of treasure?

@JTam  Both done by Peter Dennis :) 

Shikatchs seemed taller in WW1 than WW2 or modern day. (If WGA did a set, could the decal set include rifle stock art?)   This is the most extreme example: Conversely, these seem WW2...

@Christopher Tyrer  I had no idea Eureka had WW1 early war Serbs. There's no pictures of the heads.  I assume they look much like this?   Going back to the joys of research, I ...

I wonder if the artist who did this piece is the same artist who does all the great Bolt Action covers?  They have the same feel.

@Steffen Seitter  Went to look for Sengoku period monk headgear.... fell down the rabbit hole of the the Komuso Monks....  

Looking forward to Franks, and would also love to see Sasanids, Bulgarians, Dark Age cavalry.... Irish/Scots, and Byzantine Romans

How about offering a second box in greatcoats with papakha caps? If you made this kit without any other cap options, you could then either include an extra 2 figures or have a maxim gun included.&n...

I'm so much looking forward to the release of WGA Russians!  The only changes that I would like to see (if any changes are to be made) are: No shoulder boards. it's easier to add them us...

I've already bought some 28mm Serb heads from eureka miniatures. Now I'm just waiting for the release of WGA Japanese to convert into Serbian infantry... Hopefully some 1914 Austrians to follow!

Four sets I think would be viable.... Austro-Hungarian Infantry.  the early Pike blue uniform with lanyards & oak leaves in their hats.  Heads wearing the feldmutze & a Fez for M...

@JTam  thanks!  That's a really counter-intuitive way to have a sale, though. 

@JTam  No such thing as an Osprey problem ;) 

@Grumpy Gnome  I read the second link: "Viking Shield Maiden Facial Reconstruction". It is amazing what science can do now.   Reconstruction:

A great deal for anyone building or contemplating building WGA WW1 French or Germans.

@BS Kitbasher   The 70% Off banner takes you to just a handful of books as you said. Browse as you normally would via "Series" or "Period".  Almost everything I've clicked on is on s...

Is there a link to a full list of books?  I clicked the banner on their website, and it took me to a page that had, like, 9 books.  Maaaaaaaybe 12.

WGA: Wait, WGA already has a relationship with Sarissa? Sarissa makes this awesome Tachanka: Sarissa Tachanka It's made of wood which is distinctly satisfying for a wood vehicle.  But it...

@Yronimos Whateley  LOL if WGA is just trolling us with little things that are off.

@Yronimos Whateley  The problem solving aspect is enjoyable. The other enjoyable element is the research.  One always finds out something new when one starts digging into a campaign or ...

It's been brought to my attention that I may have a Osprey problem: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/52296/show-your-hobby-space

Osprey Publications is having one of their really nice sales.  All kinds of reference books that cover periods and troops that WGA makes are on sale.  A lot of Osprey game rules books ...

While the shieldmaidens above are largely "Hollywoodized” there is serious evidence for female warriors. https://historycurator.com/viking-shield-maidens-historically-accurate/ https://www....

@Steffen Seitter have you seen the upcoming Victrix Romano-British set? Looks to have loads and loads of head options that might interest you.     

Plus, Wargames Atlantic could probably use a lot of the sculpting work done for the conquistadors!  Maybe throw in a few more armoured figures and away you go. 

@Patrick Stoddart  A man after my own heart!  I made a pretty long comment on here about how a generic Elizabethan/Tudor infantry box would be huge for the hobby and cover so many armie...

@Ice Giant  JTam has got it right. This kit is very versatile just out of the box because of how little the Russian uniform changed for several decades - but it's also a very handy source of ...

Looks like we've got Russians suitable for a few turn-of-the-century wars confirmed, plus these intriguing teasers: A uniform with a kind of a cool sci-fi look to it, and South Park's Kenny, all...

@Sydney Walczak  Dedicated Polish troops for the Polish-Soviet War would be awesome.  I'm far from an expert on the conflict, but it seems to me the WGA Germans might work as a decent b...

@Ice Giant  Well that's partially true.  But I think most are expressing pleasure that this one kit CAN do so much and represent so much as is or with just a touch of kit bashing.

@Ice Giant  They are both miniatures companies that made plastic miniatures.  One has great box art.  One did awful box art.  It's just pointing out something WGA does well.&nb...

I did a super quick mock up.  You're right, that shield doesn't look right ;)

This week's definitely seems unfinished. I think there is detail missing that would make it more obvious.

With some of the bodies you could make it work. Interested to see what they do with the cavalry.

I like how everyone wants each set to do 87 different things. 🤪

You have to do either completely bare or with specific tack or it's useless I think. I don't understand how separate straps could be added seems really finnicky don't ya think?
