A zombie miniature in the shreds of pants can pretty much work from 1000 to 2022.

Once upon a time, I used to be an historical gamer till I heard about Chainmail and D&D. Then came Laserburn and WhFB 1st, and I turned into quite a dual classe collector/hoarder player. ...
My eyes deceive me quite frequently, but da! I do think it could be, comrade! And, are those Mongol recurve bows?
not fussed by the Byzantines, but Ottoman Turks would be so useful
Man, I'd buy the hell out of some sci-fi cowboys and Indians. Wild West Exodus is just too busy-looking for me, if someone put out some that were a tad toned-down visually, I'd snatch them up...
@BS Kitbasher - I think you're probably right about the modern zombie figures: that's going to be a very specific niche, which can probably only be done one way. Fantasy and gothic horror g...
I'd be all-in on that construction power armor!
While we are about it let me propose a new 'cavalry' set: field officers(colonels and majors). Let me propose a new 'cavalry' set: field officers. Yo...
Eccentric Miniatures, a little one-man made-in-the-USA miniatures company, does some nice generic medieval European 28mm ballistas and crews as injection-molded plastic kits; the crew might not be ...
@BS Kitbasher Well that was interesting Google.
I think I heard on an interdimensional Death Fields game broadcast that the Cannon Fodder's "power-armor" are actually construction exo-suits stolen from the hellish work-camps on the prison planet...
As long as Wolfman has nards... I am in.
Yeah, it was the helmets in particular. I recall meeting an elderly German gentleman on a bus in Berlin who guessed I was an American soldier despite my civilian clothes. Apparently he was a tank ...
Considering how many gamers want zombies, especially modernish zombies, I think they would be better as their own kit. I love the idea of a monster squad kit that can fill out any castlevania...
Would it be possible to give the archers throwing sticks? There were so many interesting designs the Egyptians used for throwing sticks, I'd love to have some as options.
I like where you're going on this. I suspect the bodies can be a little more interchangeable: generally ragged or tattered clothes including shrouds and bandages, on more or less gaunt and c...
I was envisioning this set as one stop shopping for players of Silver Bayonet/Dungeon Crawler X/Skirmish Game Du Jour who need opposition forces. Wouldn't be as useful for the building of re...
Another half sprue: Goliath and light machine gun. The machinegun crew is doing the classic German gunner firing from the AG's shoulder pose. The sprue also allows one to build the Goliath o...
While these are definitely a good set of creatures to do sets for, I think that trying to cram them all into one set might reduce their desireability to buyers.especially those looking for mass bat...
This morning 14 JAN 22: What!!!!! Could it be:
Yes to Russian Napoleonic artillery when you need the(your favoured scale) equivalent of twelve guns for each battery the costs add up. Yes, also to Russian Napoleonic cavalry, of whom...
Looking good, with the Roman helmets and shields, you could use these for unarmoured Late Romans too
@Lord Marcus That is actually a really good point! I thinkI'll rescind my critique lol
LBM make loads of shield transfers for the late Roman army and he’s done them for several different ranges so I’m sure he’d probably be interested in resizing them for the WA shie...
parthians in plastic would be new! I second the idea of plastic artillery, there is a desperateneed for it
@Patrick Stoddart At least one of these spoked designs belongs to a legionary unit so that distinction wouldn’t be accurate
Agree with Brian Van De Walker. They really liked the great coats:
Again, honestly I think the Oathmark guy is the only one who looks out of place.
Here is another scale shot. WA irish, Oathmark Human Soldier, GW great sword, WA irish, Fireforge Northman, and Frostgrave female soldier.
The Oathmark guys are a little rounder and more comical than classic GW, But both scale well with Fireforge, So should be fine. Edit::The Oathmark guys... the heads seem very large, even whe...
Is there so much difference in scale between the Grognards and WW1 French miniatures? I think someone posted pics somewhere.... off to look.
@Yronimos Whateley
@Dalton McCormick Reference 1/56 versus 1/48 it's all I the eye of the beholder........ But in my experience 1/56 is just too small for 28mm. (I should do up a post with comparison pi...
@Grumpy Gnome Yes, this was at Campbell. He would always talk about how the Berlin BDE was the real 502nd. In between talking about Reforger, "Wild Chicken," and frauleins of cou...
Looks like a good model. Resin can be a bit more brittle than many hard plastic kits but with careful handling you should be ok in my experience....as long as you are not trying to do any convers...
@JTam Air Assault out of Fort Campbell? I was 4th BN, 502nd in Berlin.
I purchased 2 of these ballistas from a seller on Etsy and plan to create crews from the Wargames Atlantic Roman box. Anyone else use 3D printed models? I've heard they're more fragile than the typ...
@Estoc Not really, currently they are working through getting the original Eisenkern's back into production. New sculpts and new sprue layouts, no mention has been made of the support weapon set, ...
A standard FT 17 with a sci-fi upgrade sprue would probably be the best way for WGA to sell it. They could do the same thing with the Ketternkrad for the Germans and the Bren Carrier if they make W...
Maybe WGA could make a standard FT17 to support their WW1/WW2 French Infantry kit. And sell it with a second sci-fi bits sprue in a different box to support the Grognards. I vote...
A little sci-fi FT17. How would you sci-fi up/ modernize an FT17 to survive on a far future battleground? Smaller modern track links. Bigger, updated engine which causes changes...
@JTam Yea I saw his walker, its pretty awesome looking, but I was thinking the FT-17 as a regular tank would probably appeal to more people since its more "grounded" Some Einherher Bikers on soup...
Looks great so far. Looking forward to pics as painting progresses. Are you going to add heavy weapons?
Einherjer need Trikes. For reasons.
I really like the sci-fi FT17 idea. Did you see Pzkpfw Steves' awesome FT17 Sentinal here?: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44411/my-grognard-vehicle-3d-models Also of cour...
I realize there is another thread about tanks but wanted to make one more focused on the possibility of lighter vehicles. I personally would like Death Fields to focus more on skirmish gamep...
A typical WGA box seems to be roughly five of one sprue, with that sprue having five to six bodies for approximately 30 human type figures. Let's pretend we can get seven bodies on the sprue ...
Well, that's another thing I didn't know I needed till now ;) Looks like a fun rule set. I picked up Warhammer Ancient Battles a few months ago just for s*** and giggles. (Well actually bec...
