we know that all levels within the warrior social class were enamored of firearms. and that even the upper levels of the Bushi (the ones we call samurai) used them. but i'm not aware of any inciden...

I know basing your miniatures off of other companies outputs can be a real minefield of problems but the Warlord Games Epic Battles Hannibal line was done in what I understand was a proprietary 13m...

@timbus the thirteenth true, they are big enough if your using historical sculpts for your humans.

@timbus the thirteenth I have seen mongol army minis for sale from a couple of diffrent companies in metal, and  Fireforge does sell Genghis khans army in plastic (even lucked out on ebay and ...

@Jack Winstone No, its likely historically accurate for both weapons, its just bows would be way more common for samurai since they where trained to use bows  and bows where in many ways still...

still crazy to me that there aren't more ancient chinese war games. hell i don't think i've even seen genghis khan's army  models before, and they're one of the largest and most interesting mi...

well yes, but if you're desperate i figured they might do in a pinch. if they could supplement with centaurs and fish men too, we'd have a pretty solid array of hybrids in plastic

@Brian Van De Walker that is true, to be fair. I may have misunderstood the heiho rules where it says "samurai shot" and "samurai mounted shot" as this could mean archers which was more historicall...

While there was some  matchlock cavalry in Japan, I think thats more common in PC games and film than it was in real history,  also while I am sure there where some troops of Samurai infa...

@timbus the thirteenth Again just from the IRL artifactsI I have seen and considering that the world was much colder back then, realisticaly it should pretty much be the same port the Celts on the ...

@timbus the thirteenth true, but they aren't Minos. That said I think WA did some digital STL mintatours awhile back.

@Bertrand du Guesclin Thanks for the kind words, as for the time it takes to paint... that's a hard question to answer (although a good one). I have a friend who times his painting sessions to know...

Browsing over the ashigaru and samurai range, they all look fantastic but after seeing the heiho rules you can identify a key unit missing. That being armoured teppo (Handgunners).  would be ...

They look very sharp! Makes me wish I could get started on the yet-to-be released Grand Battle Scale Azincourt models. How long would you say it took you per infantry model? I have no experience p...

Have you checked out the satyrs yet? they're suprisingly tall and fit pretty comfortably on a 32mm base. 

i was just thinking it be great if wargames atlantic did a range of minatours in 28mm armed with clubs and large axes,maybe with crudely made armour on some of minatures

I generally don't paint or game too much fantasy stuff these days but I've had my eye on the Wargames Atlantic Orcs for a while now.  I picked up a box and started painting them. I'm about ha...

man, i'm getting weirdly excited for this. im not much for historicals, but being able to carry around my favorite medieval battle in a box might just convince me to pull the trigger.

I mean yeah, I'd obviously prefer a dedicated kit, but any port in a storm and all that. Generally though, I think you're right that too many wargaming companies focus on western european conflicts...

It seems like there hasn't been a weekly update from WA the past few Fridays.  Saint Crispin's Day has come and passed and I keep hoping to see an announcement for the release of these two ar...

@Brian Van De Walker absolutely the rules can be used for other periods to include fantasy. I only mention the Midgard conmection because I recall, years prior to the release of the rules, there we...

Hmm, well if the WW2 kits work with them, you  could raid the helmets and softcap heads and add some things that still show up from time to time like Stenguns. (both the Panzer Jager cloth cov...

@timbus the thirteenth Realistically they would likely look and dress a lot like the Celts out already with maybe a few armor diffrence, the fantasy item we talked about would fill your intrest bet...

Bronze age Northern Europeans could fit in with a ruleset like Midgard. They can also do double duty for fantasy armies. 

The new operators kit looks really cool. I was thinking of turning some into near-future black ops units, kinda like the SCP MTF squads to mix into various systems. Anyone know what kits/bits might...

I mean, made-up northern bronze age models might not have any shirts on, which is very relevant to my interests. still probably a better idea to make Literallly Anything Else, though.

I just hope Ancients will be next after HYW and SYW Grand Battle Settings.

@Bertrand du Guesclin On facebook.  

Hmm, it looks to me like the Bronze age Northern Europeans are what Hudson "really wants to do" if we go by that poll, though only the god of blind Eurocentrism  knows why since we know next t...

10mm Caesarian Romans would be relevant to my interests. Where can I find this poll?

Thank you i will get that to the team.

@timbus the thirteenth Honestly I think whoever seriously does female multipart minis should just go with the "standard DC comic female build" model for female sets, at least for the fantasy line, ...

I thought about it, but shipping for Canada comes from UK anyways now, and the minis are made in the factory there. Good enough for me to rationalize anyways

10mm Caesarean Romans? Looks like Hudson wants Late Republican Romans of the Marian Reforms in 10mm. A full Range of: Late Republican Romans Gauls Late Ptolemaic Egypt Pontic Early German...

honestly, with how hard it is to kitbash female-looking models, that kinda kit would go pretty hard. i think i'd prefer a couple different kits, though (barbarians that look rough, dark elves that ...

Oddly enough, and I know I have mentioned it before but 1 scantily clad chick set could cover alot of things if done right: Dark Elves, wild/wood elves, Amazons (the more useful jungle varity), fem...

i just watched the movie on a whim, and holllly fuck that's some sick ass armor. thanks for bringing this up, hope we get something similar soon!

believe me, that was gonna be my next crusade! hopefully in the future i can fulfill my perfectly heterosexual desire for an army of red sonjas. sadly the existing digital female barbarian leaves a...

I would like to add my voice to this (for what it's worth.) Along with a female set also. I've been reading a bit of John Carter again recently and I have the masculine urge to paint some scantily-...

Happy St. Crispin day!

Fantasy Sengoku Japan Azincoure (HYW) Leuthen (SYW) Four Settings in about 1 Year. I really wonder what Settings you plan for the next Years. Something in Antiquity would be nice,

@timbus the thirteenth To be fair, making them "a little GW compatable"(for WFB anyways) is simply doing typical shirtless muscle bound Conan barabain types, the only thing GW did was double down o...

@Marc Hameleers It took me 3 weeks to get this joke! Good one!

As an addition to the post, I was reading the original savage sword of conan marvel run and was taking some screenshots for inspiration. such a cool setting and vibe that would work great for warga...

As soon as I have the 10mm Azincourt armies done, I'll be turning an eye to this....

unfortunately, warhammer proxies sell well. hopefully stuff like marcher and trench crusade will break that up a bit? as it is though, WGA would be leaving money on the table by not making them at ...

@Yronimos Whateley Starwars, Flash Gordan, Buck Rogers, and John Carter from the 19th century to present are all fluffly heroic adventure PULP scifi (or even fulffy SciFi high fantasy), not gothic ...

@Mark Dewis  Given the going price for most non-GW options with the same number or more of models is $30.00 to $45.00 USD normally ($50.00 on rarer occasions and I am pretty sure thats factori...

@Steffen.Seitter More intrested in the warring states artwork honestly, but good for you guys.

@Nick The Lemming totally agree, would love to see more samurai units, especially teppo. Maybe including some single units with Ō-Zetsu hand cannons in that set. More naginata units, Artillery woul...
