I went with "Vietnam War", but I'd rather see that expanded as a broader "Cold War" line that (depending on interest) could ultimately include Korean War Koreans and Americans, Afghanistans and Sov...

@Yronimos Whateley ... are you trying to summon the Spanish Inquisition over here? 😄
@Mark Hoffman Sounds like a couple heads with EGA helmets for flavor would do the trick.
@JTam I've read that the Eagle Globe Anchor insignia affixed to the helmet was pretty rare during the war, it was more common post war. It wouldn't be difficult to remove with an Exacto kni...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher Nah, WA could make them in 2 gender separate sets (or at least sprues) and should due to proportions since we are mostly talking historical scale fantasy sets here. An...
Pointy eared female heads that actually looked female?
@JTam I think it’s actually a fairly well covered topic, at least for the summer months. Plus anyone who wanted to build a summer army probably bought 3 to 5 boxes of the WGF figures during...
@Grumpy Gnome The French and Indian War is a fascinating subject. Damn those were hard men. I might also want to game LTC George Washington, Daniel Day Lewis, and Robert Rogers VS Fre...
@William Ings Well as someone who is also more of a collector/model builder, the popular game system used aspect does tend to control what gets made. While a number of people did ask ...
@Ben Saunders I've seen some pictures of Death Fields parts mixed with WW2 French somewhere. The differences weren't obnoxious. Maybe a conversion kit could cut the difference be...
@Brian Van De Walker Slightly off topic, but I believe Northstar said they're already working on female barbarians for their Frostgrave line.
So what do guys think of Boers for the Boer wars, etc.? Should they be done as partisan style sets (male and female), or is that not really needed? What kind of guns and other weapons would they ha...
I like the idea. A small(ish) 'upgrade' sprue could transform an existing kit into a second use. GW have done it (e.g. turn Imperial Guard into Genestealer Cult) and we've seen one example from WGA...
a zombie kit from WA which would be sure to scale correctly with their other kits would be brilliant for kitbashing I like the idea of zombies as an upgrade/conversion kit, but could it ...
Well maybe alternate heads with the EGAs on the helmet. That EGA is going to be pretty minuscule in 28mm though.
@Mark Hoffman Thanks Brother. So it sounds like one WW1 American Infantry box set can cover the Army and USMC. I'm aware of the differences between USMC and Army webbing in WW2...
@Mark Hoffman Thanks for the in depth review! My thoughts on the PSC Infantry set was based off pictures. I do have the PSC 28mm Soviet antitank gun and heavy weapon sets. I improve...
@BS Kitbasher While I tend to agree about the marching pose laser rifle (though I have heard some asks for that), I do think making nappy ABs more kitbashable so it can be used for other things b...
@JTam You beat me to the punch. I was going to mention the PSC Russian infantry in summer uniforms in 28mm. Their molding is all over the place with that set. Some poses are okay, so...
@JTam The equipment was the same for both the Army and the Marines in the First World War. That did change for the Second World War. When the Marines uniforms wore out,they wer...
@Mark Hoffman WW1 USMC is outside of my area of knowledge. What were the differences between WW1 USMC and Army uniforms and equipment? Your comment above makes it sound like the...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher You make me wish I had picked my forum name better.
Forgot about the available PSC 28mm kits. They do a pretty nice heavy weapons box, a light antitank box, and an Infantry box. The heavy weapons and antitank gun boxes are decent as plastic heavy ...
Someone earlier listed U.S. Marines. I second that suggestion, but ask if the figures are molded in Army uniforms. Although if they were in Marine tunics, it wouldn't be that difficult to carve awa...
this sounds like a great idea, especially the upgrade set. the army builders for decline and fall will probably have seperate arms, so future napoleonics would probaly be the same.
Voted for Successor i.e. Hellenistic period.Overlooked because everything in the part of the Ancient period seems to fall under Roman or Rome vs Carthage shadow but there is very large range of pos...
@Grumpy Gnome Yes,! That's exactly what I would imagine from a "creatures of the night" kit. I think it could be useful for skirmish wargames (something along the line of rangers of shadow deep) or...
@BS Kitbasher The attraction is the above picture ;) Works with Mordian / Front Rank Fire! type doctrines.
@Tom Vananderoye I can see some folks liking army Builder boxes for Seven Years War European armies. Not for me mind you but I can see where there might be some demand. I just prefer French an...
@Riccardo Improta An updated version of the old GW vermin sprue?
While I would find the separated arm much more attractive for kitbashing purposes, I don't see the attraction of all marching laser rifle troops.
5. Partizans. More numerous and more active than their French equivalents they fought the cruelest of wars. https://youtu.be/HfCFwbuYgyY (Above link vaguely NSFW) Come a...
Here is a little group photo of everything I've finished since '21 November, no waiting for bases, new boxes and motivation :) :
Zombies are a staple of fantasy and I wouldn't be surprised to see them. My problems though are: - Many other maufacturers make excellent zombies.- People intent on zombies might just want dozens ...
And there is no reason to not make as many as half of those zombies women. Most zombies come from the civilian population. But please don't get styalized on any of the clothing. Keep it neutral rag...
Only one thing to say really "GGGGOOD MORNING VIETNAM" This sure needs the Wargame Atlantic style, and finish.
@Brian Van De Walker Using bolt action for sci-fi? Wouldn't have thought of that but you did give me an idea there. I think I am going to Crossfire instead. Planned to use it for the World A...
@Grumpy Gnome I thinkt he European theater would benefit from some army builder boxes in the vein of the Prussian Reserves box WA did.
@JTam Perry does plastic ACW Zouaves.
Thanks for this
@Tim Seasholtz well it is showing its age, but I wouldn't say its bad.
Zombies seem like a no brainer to me, pardon the pun. Yes, there are other zombies out there but a zombie kit from WA which would be sure to scale correctly with their other kits would be br...
I voted Seven Years War but like @Brian Van De Walker I think India and America (French and Indian War) would be the best place to start. @JTam Perry makes good plastic Zouaves. I have a...
@JTam Sd Kfz 250 could definitely work. It is a little bigger than the FT-17 or Bren Carrier but I think it would still be small enough to fit the "skirmish" game size. And all those w...
4. Soviet Naval Infantry. Believe one kit could cover WW1 and WW2 much like the WGA French Infantry Kit. The cracker jack uniform and hat changed little or not at all from WW1 to WW2. ...
3. Soviet Infantry in Amoeba suits. In truth I think this kit could cover RKKA Soldiers in all their camouflage suits, winter suits, and maybe Finns. Bear in mind whole units of s...
2. Early War summer uniform RKKA Infantry is another gap. The Warlord kit has a mix of summer and winter bodies. An all M35 tunic kit would be welcome. Should include some S...
I think you should think about a box of 30 strait zombies. Zombies are always one of those things in gaming that you need a lot of. #1- I've never seen a Necromunda campaign go down where at some ...
