Got a new reference book - "Officers and Soldiers of the French Army 1940" by Jouineau. Maybe these pics will help:

Exactly, JTam, regarding not letting scopeof the subject be a deterrent. Consider fantasy wargaming: that's a pretty broad topic right there, one that is limited only by the imagination!&nbs...
@Yronimos Whateley Not what I have been seeing on the FB group/page, the Shadowkesh for example only had a KS exclusive handler sprue and WA preveiwed some more beasties to go with them and there w...
Agreed, Brian: that might be the best idea, a sprue of orc heads! Dark Ages figures of all sorts are a good match for orcs, I think - the Irish and Goths look like great bases for more primi...
@Yronimos Whateley To me the best looking classic Tolkien style good human soldiers in plastic are probably the Normans by Conquest games and they probably look great next/opposed to WA's Goblins ...
By stopped production I meant new things. It's all re-release from the old company.
I'm not necessarily the target audience for these, but I think I'd prefer a main box with a good variety of heads and melee weapons (axes, swords, clubs, etc.), and then a generic spear-and-arcery ...
Frostgrave plastic figures mix well with Oathmark figures, so I think they'll both mix-and-match about equally well with the Conquistadors. You can tell that the Conquistadors do have more realist...
@Hudson Adams Personally, given how you've been doing fantasy thus far unless you already have renders, I think you should just do Orcs as a head swap sprue for your historical kits with various h...
@JTam my friends want to use the old warhammer historical rule set. I think it is called. "Over the Top?"
@John Wilson You`ve , now just thrown a curve ball, I thought I`d got em through "official" posts. like the trolls etc. So we will all have to hope and see. Fingers crossed all.
A believable "Alien" perhaps a bit like Battle LA, none human but farming humman parts for their drones.
@Yronimos Whateley WA have said they are only doing Iron Core infantry sets (resculpts and different sprues to the originals), however they have also said they aren't planning to do any vehicles bu...
I've heard that only some of the original Iron-Core sets would be reprinted by Wargames Atlantic, but I don't think that was an official statement directly from anyone in the know, just a rumor, an...
That's good to know as I intend to buy several of these sets in order to flesh out my Calpe Reserve battalions. I did a similar thing with Warlord plastic Landwehr and Calpe. If Perry comman...
@Chris Pryme Leave the Pelisse a separate bit I can glue on the shoulder ;) Although maybe leave the Hussar look for Grognards cavalry and have the Bulldog cavalry have a more of a 1800s, s...
Bulldog cavalry. Later Hussar style frogged jackets, but leave the Pelisse in the barracks.
@Tomasz Mankowski Reference "Renaissance" era Eastern European troops you of course correct on the huge amount of research needed. But I think that's true for almost any historical sub...
@Stephen Sutton Less spikes :) I was thinking of their depiction in the Iron Druid series. Particularly after the Aelfar and Dwarves started throwing in together.
@Grumpy Gnome My first squad leader was a Berlin BDE guy. This was when I was in 2nd BN, 502nd Infantry.
@Geoff Maybury They are WA (mainly from their weekly email) official teasers put together. All the teasers pics I've posted have been of official WA teasers, I'm just not part of WA in anyway...
@Grumpy Gnome Ah the penny drops and I see, yep, seems we both think the same of the New Twilight 2000. I bet the original gave you hairs on the back of your neck at times, plus a real sense of ult...
@Battle Specter Yep, but you know what, it was the friendship and the people that i miss, so it`s nice to have one back in our group. Keep in touch, let us know from time to time, what you wo...
Oh God John you have just shattered all our dreams, we thought these were WA, Teaserpics, I got so many small ones. So did you also post the modern weapon teasers with the glove, as its the same gl...
The US sci-fi light infantry picture above is just all the teaser pics (and other pics posted by Wargames Atlantic in comments on Facebook) from Wargames Atlantic put together, I've been posting th...
Although I'd love to have some units from Eastern Europe from the XVIIth century it is HUUUGE subject and would require more complete approach and really, really good research e.g. berdishe armed i...
I'd support separate boxes.When it comes to Egyptian army from that period you'd really need a number of archers, same with other infantry, but we shouldn't overlook another option which are the na...
@JTam Yeah, the Valkir are already in the pipeline and last I heard there were future plans for other sets. Certainly never seen anything suggesting the Iron Core range has stopped production.
I am pretty much a newbie at this. But I am using Blender.
@JTam I'm one of the mass battlers. You are correct that I would prefer each unit type to be a separate box. As to how many people that covers, I would guess not many; Bronze Age is not a ter...
I am living in Germany these days, although I have also lived in North Wales and various parts of the US. I have been a real rolling stone, although I seem to have finally settled down. I was servi...
Beautiful work. That's an army you can be proud of. What rule set are you using for your games?
@Cole Lassell I think a 28mm WW2 German plastic heavy weapons set would be genuinely significant in the hobby. Sometimes I prefer one or two piece metal or even resin miniatures over plasti...
@Estoc Why do say that? I think Hudson Adam's mentioned they were working on Valkir about a week ago?
@JTam these 2 concept sprues plus one of those micro sprues they used for the grognard head options with Goliaths and this would litterally be the best box for plastic support options. yes the leh...
Iron core has stopped production, so all sci-fi content is locked to death fields for now.
@Yronimos Whateley a kit of arms heads and wespons would be good too
@Ian Jewett what program do you use?
This set is fantastic! Two 10 man or four 5 man squads, One 5 man heavy weapon team (plasma weapons) 5 scopes for optional 5 man sniper team or extra regular 5man squad Extra heads for differen...
If we are talking Alien style races, I'd love to see a Kilrathi style cat person army, as well as something that comes with Wings.
Again, for my own amusement a mock up of a Sniper, Flamethrower, and Medium Mortar sprue. Again, it is a half sprue like the Death Fields Accessory Sprue. Obviously, it can be combined with ...
Keeping things moving along I painted up some Americans to go alongside my French. I know that they had a darker helmet but I came across one image where one guy used a baby blue helmet so I though...
@Frank Reischmann A 28mm BunBun kit... maybe the Bun Bun from the Council War series. Hell, a character set from that would be awesome. I'd buy it. And technically Posleen are space cavalry. ...
As a player of massed anient battles I am looking forward to aquiring approx 220 foot and 8 chariots in this range. Perrys wars of the roses bow and bill boxes were perfect for that type of army wi...
Personally think the mixed set is the way to go. As the standalone box gives people doing skirmish or small scale games what they need, while still giving those who want lots of both models the op...
@Travis Johnson If there are 6 cool looking "proxiable" heavy weapons in a Raumjager heavy weapon box for 35 dollars all kinds of Guard players are going to pick it up. I would ...
@JTam True. The name of the game here is "counts as" the weapons are going to have to be useful in a particular game in order to be worth owning. There's a lot of cool ideas we can come up with, bu...
@Travis Johnson The Exosuits? The first one is from the Endure the Stars boardgame, pretty cheap on Ebay if you buy the earlier edition of the game with lots of cyborg alien creatures. Th...
@John Wilson dude.. where did u get these? I love em. Are they a product, a kitbash or both?
