I just bought several boxes of the WA French that I intend to paint as Senegalese Tirailleurs for Bolt Action. Does anyone know if they actually wore the red fez in battle in the 1940 campaign in F...
@Marcus Porche I'm a fan of this look you came up with. Painting the armor like brown leather, it looks great.
2 words my friend, Green and Stuff. All those troublesome connections between kits can be smoothed with greenstuff. Every minature builder should have some 😊
Merry Christmas - I think that's going to be a fun project! For fantasy gamers, some of the Frostgrave kits have some great bits that might come in handy - things like scimitars, crossbows, torsos...
Delighted to say that I've gotten the Afghan Warriors as an Xmas pressie. Absolutely delighted by them :D Going to see active duty in Kings of War and Turnip28 at some point. Anyone who's built th...
@Daniel Broaddus Ahhhh, that explains it. I couldn't figure out what was a little different about them. The headswap looks so natural I didn't even realize it wasn't the same heads as c...
While I am not after Landsknecht Dwarves myself, I can see them doing as well as Landsknecht Ogres.
I am all for giant crabs... I am unsure they would sell well but I would like to have some. Smaller ones, bigger ones to ride and a huge one with a howdah. Wolves/Wargs for the Goblins would...
I've always seen dark elves, orcs, Unseelie Court, Lovecraft's ghouls, D&D's drow and derros, and their mutual prototype in Richard Sharpe Shaver's deros, and the like as more or less the same ...
On that note, I really appreciate that Wargames Atlantic has some of the less exaggerated fantasy and sci-fi figures out there: the exaggeration is there - compare the rifles and boots in the...
It absolutely makes sense to practice even against assumed allies - you never know what the future holds! I've never looked it up before, but I noticed from the link you posted that Cicle Tri...
Oh, and here's the WWI Italian photo of a machine-gun team c. 1917 I used as a reference - the helmets and uniform collars are definitely different from WA's WWII Italians, and the machine-gun migh...
Now that Wargames Atlantic has started showing off cavalry models... how about some Monstrous cavalry? Orcs: Crazt beasts... Big tusked things, Lion like things, etc... Skeletons: ...
Planning a warhammer style empire army. Sprue A has:2 x armored bodies (8 per box)4 x padded bodies (16 per box)4 x sword arms (16 per box)3 x crossbows (12 per box)2 x round shields (8 per box)2 ...
Basically everything would be a death field set... I am thinking of Jerry Pournell's "Janissaries" series, for example... or William R. Forstchens Waldenia"-series... or John Ringos "Legacy ...
Can't complain about any of that - for my part, I'd love to see a fairly well-rounded and complete Great War selection! And besides, these guys ^^^^ are absolutely begging to be kit-bashed with ...
I have been working for years to help folks see across hobby borders. RPG player, tabletop wargamer, scale modeler, diorama builder, fantasy vs historical, terrain or no terrain, pre-painted versus...
@Brian Van De Walker Oh yeah, the goths would be decline and fall. By Imperial Romans, I mean in-between the republic and late romans. Wargames Foundry has that era listed as imperial, so I ...
@Murray Fish Tragically they do not, it’s across the whole economic board at least after the mid 1700’s, same as military uniforms, and that might have more to do with us not having as...
@david phillips Its not though.
@Frank Reischmann I hope so to.
@Yronimos Whateley For covering the Ottomans an upgrade sprue for the Germans might be all that is needed, same deal with the Belgians except with an upgrade sprue for the French simply beca...
@Chris Pryme The other miniature company already services the market for high-tech death metal elves pretty well; did you have anything in mind that would help to differentiate the two?
I think the big needs are Egyptians, Chariots, East Indians and if we are counting them in the First Empires range Warring States Chinese, and 2 of those are already on the drawing board and ...
@Estoc By Imperial Romans what exactly do you mean? I ask because Early and late Imperial Romans are covered in plastic by a couple of different companies. Also not to be neat picky wouldn&rsquo...
@Shawn Hall Yeah but those are all heroic scale and in resin. It would be nice to have something to suck up the historical bits instead of just the heroic scale IG bodies.
@Oren Tucker If we are talking useful sort of "generic", something like the old Wargames factory style Numidian tunic bodies for both men and women would be the answer for that, probab...
@Stilton Disco Thank you. I mix a blue and gray together to create the color I wanted. Then I wash them with a very watered down blue wash.
@Yronimos Whateley Well it gets better, the Circle of Trigonists is just one Aggressor forces Uncle Sam cooked up (though admittedly probably one of the more colorful ones), there are also fake "f...
@Sam Bellamy Simple and effective conversion. Great info on the donor kits. Thank You!
I like the paintjob... verry good...
I hope they make the Valkyrs not smaller as the actual minis, they are wellpowered and armored infantry... and if you want bigger boys... 😉... use the H.I. bodies from Kromlech to make very big, ve...
That is a lovely shade of blue. How do you paint them?
Thank you for the recomendations. Your Model inspired me to build that Tamiya Anti Tank Gun for my Raumjäger army.
@Erebos Hammerhand thanks!My plan is three of these(Tamiya, 1/35 German 75mm Anti-Tank Gun), three flaks(Tamiya, 1/35 German 20mm Flakvierling 38) and one huge MF(Tamiya, 1/35 German 88mm Gun Flak3...
@JTam the tropp you see here is Victrix French Napoleonic Imperial Guard Lancers with a headswap with the WGA WWI German pickelhaube. I also have a finished tropp made from Warlord Games Napoleoni...
Good work, especially with the artillery.
@Cole Lassell I'm using other WGA models, which considering that WGA sculpts both kits, will probably be similar scale.
@Araden Kwyll image failed saddly.
@JTam oh good catch. my bad. that makes me very cursious what this set will contain!
Tell us more about the cavalry, they look great!
@Cole Lassell I'm given to understand they will match. https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/2-new-ww2-plastic-sets-for-02-hundred-hours-the-new-game-by-grey-for-now-games?page=2&grid...
Virtually the entire Revolutionary period is unavailable except in Plastic. All of the major players from 1796 through 1809 are unavailable anywhere in plastic and the metal ranges are pretty...
@Estoc The german sentries kit will more then likely not match bolt action scale or the current ww1/2 from war games as its for a different game.
@Hudson Adams ah cool. I know german ww1 cavalry with horse gas masks would do insanely well with a certain fan base hahaha
Honestly, any sort of "generic" bronze age/early iron age near eastern peasants would nice, or just perhaps a "female civillians kit" of 30-40 figures would be perfect for the DnD campaigns I run, ...
When I saw the renders oh so long ago I knew I was going to be in for a few box sets of French. After much assembling I have painted one of many squads of infantry to battle my friend's Germans.&nb...
Anvil Industries, Spellcrow, Mad Robot Miniatures Wargames Exclusive, Puppets War, Kromlech all sell torsos and legs or both.
Congrats to all the winners. :) Especially to Womble of Darkness, who doesn't only win the prize, but also at life for using a cool nickname.
