speaking as a history teacher and history buff, Wheelocks seem most appropriate, since those were the preferred choice for cavalry, and were what made pistol armed cavalry viable. matchlocks requir...

Let us know your thoughts! https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/conquistador-cavalry-survey  

I know Indian Mutiny sepoys are on VoxPopuli (but waaay at the back). Any plans for a generic digital set to start us off?

@Mithril2098 honestly I thought the box mag was grenade launcher like enough, just make the barrel big it would be fine.  I just think a hand cannon would be would be cooler.

@Drangir @Brian Van De Walker  could always replace the box magazine with a short section of linked belt feed so you can see the grenades.

@Mithril2098 Well, that RGSh30 is way better than another rotary and it does look like something a SciFi ship crew might have. @Drangir Maybe make the grenade in the hand cannon either a bigger ve...

@Brendan Flynn have to make it first! We've been updating as we finalize the parts. 

@Mithril2098 I assume the grenade would be made very grenade-y for these to work! Shouldn't be a great leap to make fragmentation pieces visible. Or like something from last Brian's picture. Also s...

@Charles Tottington Honestly, the older STLs were pretty clearly  based off diffrent post-apocalyptic themed movie, game, and comicbook franchises, possibly even anime and manga. What it looks...

@Caratacus No hard academic ones I can think of off hand, but my mother researched Fairytails all her life and she told me that first (it is also possible my father was involved on one of his more ...

@Allan Lougheed True enough.

So what happened with this set.  It looks like it was finished and available but has disappeared now.  Its not on the list of items to be restocked so is no longer available for order.&nb...

Those look really good! Huh, I'd not even considered Pig Iron. Time to give them another look.

Well Bolt Action is just a set of rules. The armies you put on a table are as historical as the effort you want to put into researching them, regardless of the rules you want to play. Doing a littl...

@George Moss I don't know about the horses, but from everything I have heard here and the FB group, yeah same Chariots as the boneheads, and hopefully it will be just chariots and maybe combined wi...

Its Boltaction, so personally I wouldn't normally think too hard about accuracy and just go the anachronistic COD route (which is at its core what Boltaction is given what Warlord puts in thier box...

Pig Iron productions has some fairly good sized heads https://www.pig-iron-productions.com/product-category/heads/page/3/ I used their system commando heads for my Ironcore kitbash  

@Big Boi Would be good for WA to produce this set since the D&F range has had zero for 18 months or so since the Goth set came out. To be honest, though, I'm wondering how this set would compar...

@Doctor Tyrannosaur I've been buying Anvil for years, but the heads are a bit too chonky for Iron Core.Mad Robot is viable. I think he has options to resize heads, so I could downscale them a bit.

Like my other post, I have also been working on the Wargames Atlantic WWI Germans. A German formation for Bolt Action is going to be organized differently depending on whether they are defending o...

I put up a post quite a while ago with a pic of a squad of WWI French I had painted. I finished the box and I have also been putting some terrain together so I will be doing a Bolt action game some...

I'll take that as a no :-)

There is also "Through the Mud and the Blood" by the lardies but I haven't played it. I have used Stargrunt II which is really just an infantry skirmish game that also includes vehicles. I have use...

those might be a bit small and easy forp players to misunderstand? they'd end up looking more like silenced pistols. how about this contraption? https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/10/18/im-...

Late to the party here, but I always recommend Anvil Industry or Mad Robot for conversion parts. Mad Robot is a bit more 'Heroic' scale, Anvil has a wide selection of designs from historically bas...

I'm still excited for this set. Lord knows it's been a slow burn though 

I am excited to eventually see these boys. I've been wanting to do a fantasy late Roman army for a while with 3d printed angels as support. We just need good late Roman light and medium cavalry 

I'm so glad that this set is doing well in vox populi voting. It seems like fans of the decline and fall range haven't had much to cheer about for a minute (except that we can make a full sassanid ...

Second angle: 

Getting back into painting after a long bit away and decided to start with some beast for DnD and, though I haven't played it yet, I've been interested in Frostgrave, too, so I decided to start bui...

The "Qwillen" heavy support tractor is now finished (bar a few rivets and reboring of the barrel).  

There's this tutorial on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXkBO_Ur3Y&pp=ygUdaG93IGkgcGFpbnQgdGhpbmdzIHRoZSBkYW1uZWQ%3D

@Brian Van De Walker I didn't know it was believed that the Picts were the source of 'little mound dweller' myths, any particular sources?

Thanks for the input.  Yes the suspension is impractical as wete most WW1 vehicles if they even had suspension (although the plates are not flush with the bottom of the tracks - there are smal...

they seem to be a mix of ww2, soviet russia, and post-apoc bandits. arguably, their closest inspirations (in so much that fan suggestions steered it that way) is the Blood Pact and Sons of Sek fro...

So... I'm still trying to figure out how to paint my upcoming damned models. I don't know whether I want to paint them as made space crusaders, steampunk space pirates, or whatever.   So I t...

@Mithril2098 The suspension box is Somua S35 style track armor but modified for ease of printing I think. Not sure on the purpose for the side boxes, though. that said, they do help break up the mo...

i liek the updated one better from a design standpoint. the mantlet design looks like it would allow for better elevation of the howitzer. it would have some issues with crossing trenches, but sinc...

@Estoc Thank you.  I was a bit lazy and had used a premade file for the gun.  Someone told me it was a Games Worshop clone. Did a bit more work this evening and have it nearly ready.&nbs...

a couple thoughts: while in the past the dendra panoply was thought to be a charioteer armor, current archeological thought is that it was in fact used by heavy infantry. it was a myceanian armor,...

Those look amazing. I love the whimsical feeling of the designs. Only issue I see is the crosshair could use a bit looser lines. What program did you use to design these?

Fits in really well. Frankly a lovely assault gun design. Reminds me of several real-world WW1 tanks (st. chamond, flying elephant, a7v). I think some sort of upper track guard would look good, may...

I am excited by the prospect of the Dendra Panalopy fighters,  questions, is the chariot the same sprue as the Skeleton Chariot kit? Will the horses for this kit be from the Horses with minima...

About time. Are they still going to have the fuzz hat head option?

For many years I have wanted to get some of these critters but always put it off due to shipping and customs. Now I have the plastics - I am enthused. I have started work on a tractor and wondere...

Small Update. I added a smoke token. Updated both letter and a4 sheets.  

@Axel Schudak Vox Populi sets move to a pre-production order where we need to hit $6000 to then match and move to production. There are additional discounts in place for folks that put in well befo...

Some updates on the set!  https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/conquistador-cavalry-update
