@BS Kitbasher yeah that's only GW. Plenty of other games out there don't suffer from that type of cycle. Besides they already mentioned there will be a game. Back on the rules, I also think we ne...

It seems to me that WA's existing and upcoming fantasy factions seem to overlap well with this era:  Halflings, Goblins, Landsnecht Ogres,Trolls... With that in mind, I'm doing my best to "se...

@BS Kitbasher plenty of systems exist out there that don't have those problems. They don't need to make rules for every single faction and model kit they produce, just some general purpose stuff t...

My name is Stilton Disco, and I am an alcoho... wait, wrong forum.   I started playing war with little painted toys when I was a young lad in the early 90's, firstly with stuff like my older...

I'd like to see the general orcish type filled by something slightly more alien, similar to the baddies from Galaxy Quest or The 5th Element.   Rules would in my opinion be a misstep.  ...

@david phillips super high tech space orc Mongolians would actually be pretty awesome.    Riding jet bikes, conquering everywhere they can with rapid strike, merciless assaults, destroy...

Those helmet and mask conversions really look good.  I can imagine how painstaking they must have been to achieve.  They have a great faceless-evil-mook vibe.

Yeah, when I mentioned the space orcs, I wanted something more along brute style. I think smart orcs like the Spacejammer analogues would be great. Those were greatly loved due to how different the...

@Stilton Disco hey actually sci-fy orcs are a great idea. i was actually thinking about your proposal for genetic modification. early orcs were based on Mongolian tribes the hoard so to speak. whil...

Very nice! I like the ashen colour scheme with the odd dash of colour from weapons and decorations here and there! 

@Brian Van De Walker That is a brilliant idea.  They could even sell them with the Death Gields arm and head sprue as a viable force right out the gate.   And if the clothing is loo...

Alright, in a covert attempt to flood the forum with my contents, I'll slowly add pictures of my kitbashes in most forum sections...:DThis time it's a mix of WWI German helmets and Grognard bodies....

Now that Brian mentions it, back in the 1980s, I did find a great little group of fantasy dwarves somewhere who were wearing pickelhaube-style helmets on simple cuirass-with-chainmail style bodies,...

@Forrest Wentworth I'm tempted to swap heads before.That head is big indeed, and maybe could work better on the taller body.I'm also waiting for ideas for the special/heavy weapon guy, so I pa...

Those are awesome! Like something out of a dark fairytale! Love it!

“I fear this would be the kind of thing that would annoy almost everyone because it wouldn't be perfect for anyone.” I think the trick is to make something like the army builder concep...

Starship Troopers skinnies, which can fill in the various “Greys” tropes and general purpose Robots would be excellent for multi-genre, multi-setting use sound good to me. EDIT: Anthro...

What sorts of torsos/bodies is a great question, and not as easy to answer as it seems at first! Seems like maybe something generic and multi-purpose is a great place to start, though: Generic ...

Here's a selection of (mostly GW) Models I've painted over the last few years, mostly in eye seeringly garish colours!  I wish I had time to do more, but hopefully in the new year, particularl...

Hi all looking forward to getting more sets in the new year. Without dought my favourite wargames manufacturer.  

@Robert Nelson robots with different heads and a few weapons would be good. Terminator/Necron/Skull heads, Cylon like heads, Cyberman like heads and a selection of mixed cameras/cyberpunk/retro-fut...

Really looking forward to these, the archers could be used as late Romans’ too. I thought though that the Goths didn’t have beards. 

Conditerre and thier troops anything Italian Renissance Wars

Hello

Love apes too but we need Robots...need Robots for Stargrave 5 parsecs from home etc....Robots!!!!!

1945 to 1995   I know it is a big time frame, perhaps too big.   At first I was mostly thinking 1980’s for the Twilight 2000, Red Dawn, Operation Flashpoint possibilities but th...

Great idea! 

Nice work!

Alright folks, new post.I'm appending it to the previous one to keep things tidy, as they used to do on forums on ye olde times; somebody let me know what's more fashionable nowaday: new topic for ...

@Araden Kwyll Slap some paint on the guy in question.  I think he looks great.  Some dudes just have big heads.

@Brian Van De Walker that seems to always be the issue for ottomans to me. They advance and had such variety that it's hard to pin down a basic unit aside from jannisaries of course. Even if they j...

@Ben Saunders I'd try that kind of conversion using Irish.Ragged tunics, bare feet. Good goblin foundation.For heavier troops, I'd pick late Romans.

I see that the leftmost goblin in that photo is on a 20mm rounded-edge square base. That's a great idea because it can double as a 25min round base (it will fit snugly into 25mm round regiment tray...

@William Krueger Those look like the plastic Goth Noble Cavalry from Gripping Beast.

Hello my name is Viktor, I am based in Berlin and have been wargaming since the 90s. Joined this forum in a heartbeat when I learned that it existed. A hobby forum that is not hidden from public vi...

I bought 3 boxes of these back when they were on sale I call the shelf that is exclusively Irish my Irish hoard

It's worth noting you can kinda kitbash the death fields einherjar. The armor will always be fairly sci-fy but a metallic paint should get a general idea then you might consider using the halfling ...

@Ben Saunders they're kind of midway between glazes and washes. Because they're rather more translucent and pull away from raised areas, they work well on darker base colours that have been highlig...

@John Wilson All considered, I wouldn't mind either reduction or original scale.Depending on the vibes they'll be giving me, I'll convert them into heavy infantry or full powered super marines...

@Paul Lucey Wow.Sounds nasty.Erehwon skeletons were notoriously fickle: separate feet, separate legs and torso, with joint in the lower spine.Head connected via a tiny neck nub to a shallow so...

Sounds awesome

@Battle Brush Sigur Likewise.I sometimes assemble female partisan from various kits, but bits are somewhat more limited.

@Yronimos Whateley I'm also super thankful they added a traditional forum.

Well here's some more for your gallery if you're taking them from other folks.  These have been some of my favorite figures to paint.  WA did a great job with these.  I look forward ...

@david phillips Your paintjob looks pretty good from where I'm sitting.  And as for mine, well... washes hide a lot of sins. :)

@Araden Kwyll : Yup, and I think a bit or two from the Male Survivors @Jonathan Jones : Cheers! @George P : Thanks! I would fear those pants the guy is wearing as well. :D @Grumpy Gnome : Thanks...

Hi all. I used to play WFB (4th-5th edition) and 40k (2nd edition), plus a bunch of other GW games, back in the 1990s. I fell out of the hobby from about 2000-2010 but returned, initially with Bloo...

Cool beans

@Hudson Adams If it’s purely for using up parts I recommend an army builder set of just a body in a generic plate cuirass armor with pants and of course generic pull on boots in differe...
