@Cole Lassell - the real problem is that some of us are just bits-hoarders - at least, I know I am! Given a bunch of perfect torsos for soaking up my spare bits, I would just buy more bits to...

Right, I think the Dark Age Warrior thing is probably not very useful historically very far outside the Dark Ages (though it surely works just fine in fantasy!) These might soak up a lot of s...
The issue is that not all arms and heads will work with a generic body more appease all buyers. I think we all need to just accept that your bits box will forever grow lol.
An optional shield for the Late Romans?
I know this won't help much Hudson, but all of them would be brilliant! ;-) If you numberered them 1 to 8 with 1-4 on the top row left to right and 5-8 bottom row left to right, my order of prefere...
@Yronimos Whateley Thanks!I tested the WWI heads, both unconverted and converted, and I wasn't sure: they weren't giving the right sci-fi vibe I was looking for.Grognard gasmasks looked both f...
@Yronimos Whateley Thanks!I was considering using Erehwon skeletons as scenery, but with spears as support they become sturdier enough.Sure, WGA bulkier skeletons work great as melee specialis...
RAFM sounds about right to me - I remember that my FLGS used to carry a lot of RAFM models (alongside Ral Partha figures) at the time, now that you jogged my memory, and that would have almost cert...
I think I would have just taken the lazy way out and used the gasmask heads from WA's WWI German infantry, but your hard work really pays off with the masks. And assembled, they definitely look lik...
Looks great! I've got a couple different boxes of skeletons in my unassembled/unpainted "Pile of Shame" waiting for me to catch up to them, one from Wargames Atlantic, and another from adifferent ...
Great stuff! Loving the camo on the tank and mecha, and the Death Fields figures work great for this concept! (I've noticed that the WWI French Infantry include bits that make for some great...
I hadn't thoght of an ox-cart! I havne't seen it all, but something tells me that might be a first in this scale, as I don't remember seeing one before. The diorama aspect of gaming eit...
@Frank Reischmann I need to paint more, and touch up what I've painted so far.I have a heavy weapon guy with a gatling gun and a couple regular troopers, too.
@Pzkpfw Steve Awesome ideas.
@Brian Van De Walker - Perfect! That's just the sort of public-domain sort of thing I was imagining, and all along my crazy Uncle Sam already did much of the ground work decades a...
Nice work!
Awhile I ago I came across the Les Grognards line and fell in love with the kits like everyone else. Here's what I've been working on since then, a force with design influences from France's Interw...
When I shot these pictures, I only had a couple of WGA kits: halflings and skeletons.Halflings didn't sit well with me, and it took a while to find ways to kitbash them to my liking.Skeletons, howe...
The Charmera is amazing in so many ways. Good stuff!
Let us know which of these you'd be interested in! Design by Samir Majstoric
@Hudson Adams it did turn out very well!
I really like that walker idea!
I like turtles
Exciting!
@Brian Van De Walker That is quite the resource you have linked there.
I think the obvious suggestions would be WW2 Russians in full winter gear, Mongolians (particularly with horses on the way), something in dress uniform and something in the style of the US in Vietn...
@Frank Reischmann Same boat.
@John Wilson They are supposed to be power armor, so it would actually make sense for them to stay the same size as the old set but given the heads slight scale down might happen.
@Yronimos Whateley Farm set or ox cart would be my guess with the cow.
@Grumpy Gnome Well you don't actually need GI Joe and Cobra to do an imagination game setting armies like them. In fact the US government has thoughtfully used your grandparents tax dollars to wri...
@Brian Van De Walker if you went with the Jannissaries in campaign dress(instead of the full dress they didn't use often in the later half of the renaissance and 18th C), if you gave a bunch o...
I don't own any Grognards models yet, or any WGA models for that matter, as I've been unemployed for most of the pandemic. But I hope to be employed soon. in the meantime, I've worked on some...
Mrs. GG and I like the diorama aspect of our wargaming so we love seeing animals and small terrain accessories bundled into the kits. As for want caught my eye... I am curious what the tracks were...
@Sebastian I do not have a 3d printer...yet anyway... but I still prefer plastic,for kitbashing and conversions, to resin. But thanks for the tip.
I honestly can not understand how I never considered an officially licensed GI Joe versus COBRA wargame. That is a money maker waiting to happen considering how well nostalgia sells. Look at the re...
@Yronimos Whateley Actually for Renaissance style fantasy in general I think Russia, Poland and Eastern Europe in general have more of a classic fantasy vibe to them than the age of discovery Euro...
@Yronimos Whateley I believe they have done a number of polls on this and Hudson has asked in other groups as well. In theory a bit box dolly set, which is what this proposal is really, is a good...
Great... I like that idea... perfect paintjob... Woud like to see more...
In 4 chance to win free hat
@BS Kitbasher I would rather have them in historical scale as a "make your own custom fantasy army" AB set in the classic fantasy line (kind of want bodies just like that, no one really sells the...
@BS Kitbasher the death fields range page says they are building towards a game release
Great work on this! I just saw a reconstruction of one in the latest Ancient Warfare Magazine. You really nailed it!
Really loving to see all this enthusiasm and being able to interact with the non-Facebook folks. Thanks for joining up!
@Joseph Bear how's this now?
@Yronimos Whateley@Yronimos Whateley Personally, given how compatible they are parts wise with the history sets, and the fact that the spiders, goblins, and lizard men sets work pretty well with e...
@BS Kitbasher The biggest problem is, WGA plastic is shiny and tough to cut through.More or less the same problem with Maelstrom's Edge kits.Newer models I heated in hot water, so plastic wou...
@Hudson Adams "I fear this would be the kind of thing that would annoy almost everyone because it wouldn't be perfect for anyone." You might be right about that, in any case. On the other ha...
The "Sneak Peek" feature of the weekly newsletter is my favorite part of WA's communications, and I thought it deserved a topic of its own, if nobody already started one (and I didn't see one if th...
@Lord Azn it's also an Apothecary Dreadnought. Because who wouldn't want a giant, Plasma Cannon equiped, walking coffin, with limit ranges of movement and fields of vision, as their doctor?
