I agree in principle, but I suppose it doesn't HAVE to matter, as long as we can rely on Wargame Atlantic to say "this popular entry sounds like it will be a successful product, it sounds like it'l...

@Mithril2098 Yeah that makes much more sense.
@MoonglowMinis not that intresting, there has been a lot of renewed interest in WW1 both in and out of miniature wargaming community, probably because the last decade (2014-2018) was its 100t...
Interesting stumbling on this in 2026. Seems like WW1 inspired games and settings had an explosion in recent years. Trench Crusade and The Last War being the obvious ones.But this premise, especial...
the cataphract thing got clarified by the submitter at least. he was thinking the selucid heavy cavalry based on the parthian forms of armored shock cav. which i'd forgotten were a thing (i am not ...
@Mithril2098 To be honest the Mongols showing up in both Age of Chivilary and the "dark age lines" polls was more of an issue for me.
@timbus the thirteenth The issue with doing vehicales merely as conversion parts like turrets is you actually need tank kits that work with them and there isn't really any standarization in model t...
@Mithril2098 Actually not surprised on this. That said on these particulars I think a few points need to made. You can make arguements on the Trojian war infantry, Mycenean heavy infan...
@Joe Dog They ditched that design for another vehicle called the Mauler now, and its more like an extra boxy 6 wheeled BTR 70 or an armored Tonka truck (you can take your pick on that one😆). @Yron...
Oh believe me, my army's being kitbashed to truly absurd levels. I made this post less to talk about what's available widely, and more just to get people's thoughts on death fields specifically, si...
By the way, I REALLY would not mind seeing the "Terra Motus" make its way in some form into plastic as e.g. a Cannon Fodder vehicle. And, those Damned mutant bits that were never put into plastic,...
Historic tank kits are absolutely an option. If you're lucky enough to have easy, affordable access to any of the 28mm kits - generally WWII - made for the Bolt Action game, those are certain...
sadly I don't own any raumjager arms, but I will say most of the smg isn't attached to anything. so if you wanted to extend the barrel or add a larger magazine, that wouldn't be hard at all.
Sponsons could definitely be built as add-on kits. Modular ones, fitting more than one specific kit, would be hard / require work from the assembler, but I reckon something like that could be done ...
@Piisami erm 🤣🤣😂 looks like cr*p they should be riding magitech motorcycles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 saga could never 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 (in all seriousness thats a great idea and I love it. I think victrix is coming out with s...
K47 was exactly was I was thinking about, turrets-wise. I actually just got a handful of ww2 tanks that I'm turning into sci fi tanks using the grognard heavy weapons sprue. They look great so far,...
Been eyeing the einherjar and the raumjäger, but don't have anything to use them on so haven't yet bit the bullet. Probably gonna get some whenever I next order (when's Classic Fantasy Battles...
So I won't bother with answering all that, but I had another idea while working on my rpg stuff. The goats for Classic Fantasy Battles are nice and all, but how about... WAR YAKS!  ...
because some of the historicals catagories have been filled with entries that are the wrong era's, as well as duplicates. take for example the current 'first empires' voting.. Shaolin war...
My first tour in the US Army I was assigned to the "32nd Guards Motor Rifle Regiment" (OPFOR). We used Warsaw Pact equipment and US equipment visually modified to look liker Warsaw Pact equip...
Friends, romans, countrymen/women/otherwise. lend me your ears, for I am on a plane ride and have nothing better to do than yap on an esoteric wargaming forum about things few sane people care abou...
ohh, these guys look cool... hopefully with the new aliens we start to see more of the iron core universe.
I'm with brian on this one, derringers feel pretty necessary for a wild west kit (though i don't appreciate the jab at my homeland!). even if they were only for "civilians", I bet a lot of people w...
just wondering would victrix or perry ww2 kits work with esinkern stormtroopers?,i used some ooh rah arms on some of my esinkern which worked well.I wanted to kitbash a esinkern maybe one carry a j...
Ah thanks, their dragoon heads ? It's true that they could do the job as well, I'd have to see if I can turn their crest into a caterpillar one.
I've added some Copplestone command and trolls to my Wargames Atlantic Orcs, decided to share some pictures so you can get an idea of size comparison:
I really hope these guys come to be one day. I said on another thread the Iron Core range is practically like G.I. Joe without a cobra until these guys are made.
Id love the giant Robots and the vehicles. But id just be happy to see em make the gas mask, soviet looking guys, another Iron Core Faction. My understanding is theyre the antithesis of the three ...
Actually, you can get some cavalry helms from Repetilian overlords that fit the french theme.
@Mithril2098 No they should both be included. The Pepperbox pistols (as in there where many variants) where the poor man's revolver for a good chunk of the 19th century, they were all breachloader...
@Brian Van De Walker speaking as someone who has both researched westerns and the west as a hobby, and someone who has a grandfather who has watched almost nothing but westerns for the last 6 years...
Hi, I wanted to suggest a small STL add-on set to add grognards heads for the various cavalry helmets of the French empire. It's pretty easy to kitbash chasseurs à cheval by cutting t...
@Stephen Chalkley I believe these are the same bases included in the fantasy battle box sets. If that's the case, they are for casualties or command figures. I have opted for different basing than ...
esinkern stormtroopers,one has ooh-rah arms and gun,heads are from anvil industries
yeah, my knowledge of american colonialization wars mostly starts and ends at "it was bad", so i kinda forgot the average iroquois would be dead or on the wrong side of the continent. with regards ...
@timbus the thirteenth To be honest the number of films I have seen where the Amerindians are "villains" as opposed to "tragically bad communicators who get the short end of the stick" is kind of s...
I received my armies today (in the UK). Wow. Lots of guys to paint. The painted army examples look to only use the rectangular bases, yet there are some small round and losenge shapes bases. What a...
@timbus the thirteenth they are indeed dice frames (from Pendraken). The rules I intend to use are Fantastic Battles by Nic Wright. In his game mechanics, bases have a factor called "resolve" which...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, I don't disagree. This is one of those topics that's really weird because most of the conversation around it comes from white people. If it were up to me, I'd avoid the w...
These guys look clean as hell! bit of a dumb question: what are the little square holes in the back right of every base? they look like dice holders. either way, thanks for posting these guys look ...
Using the holiday break and copious amounts of dry brushing and inking, I finished all of the Boneblades, with the exception of the command stands. Nine total bases of sword and shield armed skelli...
@timbus the thirteenth in any case, yeah a cowboy/gunfighter set should have big knives where ever they are. With argentinian gauchos I would want Bolas the throwing weapon.
@timbus the thirteenth Actually, making more correct native cultures I think maybe a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" issue at worst to a "either way is good" if we are talking about t...
@Yronimos Whateley If you go a lot further south, to a more esoteric historical area, you'll find argentinian gaucho. Basically an offshoot of cowboys, but with a couple interesting quirks. Namely,...
@Mithril2098 Umm, Bro you just gave a darn good reason to do an Afghan style bulk cowboy/gunfighter set with a mix of rifles and hand guns. why bother with a seperate "civilian militia/posse"...
In my book, a ~20-24 figure box, like the Survivors (24), Agents (24), and Operators (20) is going to be fine, even for skirmish games: that's enough figures for two opposing gangs of gunslin...
Id like to ask what the little chain stick looking things are supposed to be
I don't see cowboys selling in large bulk.. mainly because american west centric gaming with cowboys/gunfighters tends towards small skirmish level rules. Large games in the genre/setting tend to ...
