Agree the artwork is really nice. Don't know what it has to do with Wargame Factory? They haven't been around for 10 years have they?

The Adrianpolis Topic is a misinterpretation of Vegetius. The context was that they dislikes wearing armour and many refused to wear armour in battle, with bad endings. As I know (it was mentioned...
The Female Cannon Fodder painting looks like a work in progress. But I really like where it's going so far: Sidenote: Have been really impressed by the quality art/covers of ...
@Steffen Seitter you could make Foederati by building the figures with just the parts from this set as they are but if you used the Roman helmets and shields, they could be used for the other ...
Hi, always had a hankering to do a Border Reiver force... my Family Name is a Reiver one so it feels right, Do people think a bit of work could make conqusitadors into suitable foot for the period...

@Aureus Mandate @Don Williams You mean Foederati?
A expansion Set for the Goth sprue to make North Sea Germans like Saxones, Angli and Juti. Post-Roman Ridged Helmets and similary Stuff. Those shield maidens would find a better place in a thread ...
Really looking forward to these, my Late Roman army is on hold until these get released personally, I think it would have been better to have got these done before starting the Goths
Ikko-Ikki? Looks like the Headgear of a Japanese Buddistic Monks of the Sengoku Period. @Brian Van De Walker The ribbon looks asiatic. What brings you on the idea it's "Dark Age Eu...
Sneak peak for 18 FEB 22. Perhaps a head wearing a coif on the right?
@JTam Polish Soldiers? Yes please! I would preorder those in a heartbeat!
@Hudson Adams Touche. Of course. I got excited ;)
@JTam we'll see what fits. It always helps when there's just one type of rifle.
I guess you really cant complain about the Wargames Factory sets though. I think it was like $14 for 3 chariots at one point.
The Wargames factory chariot had a Boudica as well. A really awful Boudica that may not have been human...
Just a very quick Hi all , I brought Rubicons, Marines, VC, a Mk 5 Auzi Centurian, VW Bettle, and a french Travant. Didnt find my dam glue to yesterday, talk about long time no model. A...
I notice there are EIGHT unique bodies. WGA is upping their game!
This is my favorite WGA release so far. (Conquistadors or Panzer Lehr second). It would be awesome to support it with: A WW1/WW2 Cossack Kit. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenfo...
I will echo a couple comments I saw on the New Entry comments: The rifles should have straight stocks, not "C" stocks. They do look a little short, but it's always hard to tell with renders....
Very very very excited for this kit. I have an army of WW1/RCW Russians that would LOVE to receive some reinforcements with these lads, but that aside, it really is incredible how many different fo...
@Grumpy Gnome True that. A really neat kit. Actually, I don't know who was more brilliant. Victrix for getting Boudica on the chariot sprue, or Warlord for this:
Victrix did manage to get Boudicca in plastic for their chariot sprues.

Thusnelda is a historical figure. Although her mini is more of a resin or metal task.
This is a super exciting set. If one needs inspiration for the Civil War / aftermath check out the Soviet classic "White Sun of the Desert": https://youtu.be/Auj_u7wEyw8 Red Army Sol...
@Hudson Adams Olga Kurylenko is real! Which makes a multi part Olga Kurylenko set a historical set!
These are all Fantasy sets! LOL
We could slip this into Imperial Conquests range to cover Boxer Rebellion and Russo-Japanese War but this will do: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/russians-for-at-least-4-wars
I don't know why, but I really enjoy these sorts of discussions on how to "fudge" a given kit into a surprising new use - I think it's the problem-solving aspect :) Seems like a good match to me. ...
I have no idea what I would use horses like that.
@Yronimos Whateley Ah, that's why 40K is so popular. It's the best because it goes to 11.
@Kinjack I have not. But I am waiting anxiously.
The Wargames Atlantic 2021 poll/survey/contest winners: Hooded/Robed Monks/Cultists (Nathan Flanders) Medieval European Peasants/Townspeople (Axel Schudak) Those, like the women warr...
@Kinjack Great idea for a thread. Thanks!
@Grumpy Gnome Thanks Brother!
@Yronimos Whateley The ALICE pack isn't a bad piece of kit for Apocalypse Survivors. It's not sexy, but it's rugged and gets it done. You can also ditch/stow the bag and use the ...
The backpack's best match so far is to an ALICE pack - but the top pocket is definitely a curve ball. That might suggest a couple possibilities: Vietname/Cold War US soldiers Sciencefictio...
@William Redford Yes. Also, how does no 28mm Thusnelda miniature exist? #NoJustice #ThusneldaNow #RomansOut https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thusnelda
@JTam Right on, brother! You are one excellent researcher.
I would be down for a box or 6 of shield maidens... or Female celts, or any other wild "barbarian" lady. Or Maybe just an Olga Kurylenko miniature. Or a boxed set of Olga Kurylenko multipart miniat...
Has anyone recieved their Conquistadors yet? Perhaps across the pond? Haven't been despatched yet to the U.K I don't think, the release schedule says Feb though so might be soonish. I...
Not my timeline but women with weapons... ? ... can it get better...? Combined with the female cannon fodder... perfekt for me... 🤣
@Brian Van De Walker The shirtless Soldier in the picture looks like a Platoon Leader. Lieutenant rank on the helmet. CAR15 in the lap. Might have his camera to get good sh...
Influence of Commando: Influence of Predator:
Catachans were inspired by 80/90s action films like Rambo, Commando, Predator, video games like Contra, as well as Vietnam. I think the basic Catachan look was capturing the stripped down GI in ...
Yup, the old MRE combat spoon. That Janisary article was a fascinating read. Appreciate the link. I had no idea about the hat spoons. Than again I just learned about the ship hats.
A kit of all female Viking Shield Maidens. Historically accurate? Almost certainly not. Do I care? No. Not even a little bit. Some armored for Hearthguard, some just...
