Assyrians would be great, as would Indians.
Assyrians would be great, as would Indians.
One box with options for archers and spearman, one box for chariots. The chariot riders should include a figure that could be customised as an officer or general.
From your title I was hoping you were making cannon fodder cultists 😆
Space Robots, Generic Space Mercenaries, High Elves, Bugs, Cyborgs, there are honestly so many neat possibilities here I would'nt know where to begin. As as for the rules they fit plenty of smaller...
Not every game system uses the "Heavy Weapons Team" so it would be awesome if you had the ability to have the models (or atleast some of them) standalone, such as a RPG Launcher or Heavy Flamethrow...
I think the core strength of WGA is the quality plastic bodies that can be mixed with a variety of kits, so I'd actually perfer the opposite, a sprue of bodies only and we can source the heads and ...
if created for historicals use, the Renault FT-17 would be a perfect one to start with. it served in WW1 with the French, British, and American forces, and post WW1 it went on to continue to serve...
Hi All, I'm part-way through painting my Cannon Fodder kit and I'm really enjoying this kit, how is everyone else finding the kit? And are you using them as "Conscripts" or something else?
@Brendan O'Connor I think McDougall Designs has what you seek.
@Grumpy Gnome You didn't miss that much Brother. The birds still land miles from the OBJ so you still walk all night. They take the seats out the bird and the doors are open an...
@Brian Van De Walker Thinking more on the subject, I agree and think if WGA is going to release vehicle kits they should scale them first to historical and then offer the sci fi upgrade kits ...
@Geoff Maybury i think some aliens based on Battle LA would be dope.. I really liked the feel of that movie.. their drones I thought were kinds meh, but the aliens were cool. Also, modern USMC. And...
I get the impression that dapper musaches were the key to success in aristrocratic military careers around the world at roughly the same time - one can't help suspecting that the rank-and-file Russ...
It's a suggestion I've been making for a while now, in one form or another. The Stargrave plastic kits include a couple alien alien heads in them, but it's tantalizingly too small a number and too...
Was looking through my WW1 Russian reference last night..... And my conclusion is that the most important thing is for the Officer heads to have super dapper mustaches.
@John Wilson I forgot about a couple of those modern teasers! That's pretty diverse: Uzis, AKs, FN FALs, FAMAS.... One military that has used three out of fourof those is Israeli ...
Hello! What do y'all think about different head options, maybe sold like the Death Korps-ish accessory sprue? I'm thinking different types, such as: Bionic/Cyborg Corrupted/Demonic Beast ...
"Zombie" head swaps onto uniformed bodies is a project I recently started some work on, for some DOOM/Quake-themed figures, in the demonically-possessed "zombie" troopers. Tricky part was fin...
@Pygmy Hippo I didn't know there was a Historical Kings of War rules set. Thanks. Is there individual miniature casualty removal?
As GG states resin is "more brittle" then plastic but that being said this seems to be fairly stout, my concerns with resin are parts that are scale thin and long such as rifle barrels or the handl...
@Brian Van De Walker "Nah" as in "no" not needed? Or is Nah a miniatures manufacturer? Regardless, good info, Thanks.
The "Kings of War Historical" rules provide armylist support for Persians, and you can run units as small as 10 models. So you could have a pretty small model count force. Perhaps not the usual ski...
Einherjar on trikes would definitely be my vote.
So I had a little free time and went back to work on my Time Lizards for Star Breach. I'm not the best converter out there but what I do is at least functional. You can clearly tell the Clai...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, the Modern Set will be in the historical scale rather than death field 'heroic'.
@John Wilson those guns will likely be in "1/56" along with something taticy cool.
@Yronimos Whateley Actually the farina helmets would be pretty hard too since I have not really seen anything else quite like them in 28mm plastic:
@Yronimos Whateley Or as industrial fantasy knights and men-at-arms for games like Sludge. When they had the miniature design contest my proposal was WW1 Germans in body armor, basically so ...

One more squad ready to go (stuck home with the Covid, had a full 3 hours to paint)
@Yronimos Whateley The US sci-fi light Infantry email teasers have been out for a while (also been confirmed to be death fields), the last teaser was I believe in February 2021 (First was in Oct 20...
Thanks for the review, I do enjoy hearing what folks think about certain movies. The film may have been underwhelming but at least your review of it has brought something I was unaware of to my at...
Really like the concept! Can you post a pic more from straight on... so we can better see the height differences between the fodder and Marines? Are any of the fodder getting a heavy stubber?
@JTam Actually if it’s more of a big upgrade sprue (ie, maybe 1 crewmen body at most on the sprue), you could probably fit most if not all the options mentioned in the survey on 1 sprue.
@Dalton McCormick If I am following you train of thought right I agree I think. I would rather have a "regular tank" version of the FT-17 for history gaming in historical scale instead of Dea...
Hey all, this is my first post on this forum, but you all might know me as Little Nash on Facebook. I came home from work earlier and found a box of Cannon Fodder waiting for me! Now, naturally I g...
@Hudson Adams I am good with original 2 box plan. Personally I probably wouldn't want more than 1 pose/set of arms for Archers per sprue (thats an at most) since historically archers tended to be...
@Yronimos Whateley I sort of forgot about most of that except "standard equipment" "final death" "fallen behind new, younger franchises" and "last chance for an owner to profit", but lack of proper...
In honor of the possible WGA WW1 Russians kit: (Sneak peak from 14 JAN 21) A short review of the 2015 film "Battalion." "Battalion" is a Russian language, Russian production movie that more or l...
@JTam Nah, Reaper, Mantic, Northstar and several others have the “all in one package” covered for this. Plus most of those monsters done the way your suggesting already have a proven...
@William Redford Appreciate the comparison pics! As you said they all look OK together, with the exception of the Oathmark macrocephaly guy. That being said a cohesive painting style ...
@JTam They would be really good for elite/veteran troops in K47 :)
"These are the dregs of the Death Fields sport: the washouts, the mental cases, the warriors who just can't cut it or the teams whose strategy, training, or cunning have fallen behind new, younger ...
Cannon fodder aren't formers miners or prisoners, they're desperate veterans on their last fight. I think even a command box would be unsuited to them. at most, something scavenged and very illegal...
Out of place, but not by very much - at least with the Frostgrave and GW stuff: those seem to all mix-and-match really well between each other, in my experience. The bodies are a bit s...
Exactly - and with a boxed set of this sort of undead? Sign me up, for any era, especially with a good variety of different heads to customize it with! :) And speaking of heads, I really lik...
@Yronimos Whateley Yup. Good point. Is the above a dead Saxon, 1930s farmer, or 21st century fashion reject?
Yes! And the same could be said of a zombie in torn pants and the indistinct rags of a torn shirt, or the tatters of bandages, or a torn shroud, or even a ragged robe.... And those sorts of...
Maybe the Goliath and LMG sprue above is too packed. Maybe remove two prone bodies, four arms, and a machinegun in order to have more room for the Goliath parts. Sprue would consequentl...
Yes: The Release Schedule teases an upcoming (but unspecified) first modern set. A few weeks ago, there was a preview render "sneak peek" of just one side (shoulder, arm, hip, and leg) of a ...
