@timbus the thirteenth Hmm, I don't know I can see it getting bulk Historical plastic and selling quite well for a couple of diffrent things and it likely wouldn't hurt the "fun bits" to much if yo...

@timbus the thirteenth Hmm, given the number of people that play middle earth and generally use just GW models and that most people who really want Norse Dwarfs already have a pile of metals, magit...

@Stephen Chalkley Apart from Test of Resolve, see above, I plan to use Sword and Spear (great initiative rules, every decision matters) and Midgard (for Heroic Hollywood Henry). Three great sets, ...

@timbus the thirteenth Effective, sure. My personal favorite is probably the descriptions of their ways of war in the MERP rulebook Moria, with the decisive infantry advances and very nice descript...

Hell, I love magitech and I can get behind these dwarves, so long as they get some extra bits. I think in order to make tech work in fantasy, it needs to have a really strong visual identity and ae...

My main issue is that cowboys don't feel like something you'd need to buy in bulk. GEG being focused on bits and details is probably a better idea than having lots of bodies. ~20 models would be ni...

@Brian Van De Walker Again, that is quite simply your personal conception. The myth is not begging it, it is not asking for it, the thought would never even pass for many, possibly most people. Tha...

@jedifalcon222 Only in the white people countries,  I am sure the Koreans on both sides of the north/south boarder still remember them like it was the more important than the  blitz in WW...

@timbus the thirteenth Dang, guess its a general blue state need thing then.😆 @Yronimos Whateley Actually, on rare occasions Russia, China, etc. other user find ignored piles of SKS and sell them ...

I'm not picky, anything historical and specific is OK with me, but I'm also OK with a broad-strokes fantasy any-tribe suitable for "Hollywood" western gaming. I'm sure that wild west gaming takes ...

@Mithril2098 Well First they are too focused on the "western film" options for firearms as they are missing pepperbox pistols, derringers pistols, several types of rifles, etc., they have no coonsk...

@Nathan Ward Lol, "Is it just assumed that they are already casualties?" 😆 Good one. I think they will get around to it at least for STLs.

@Yronimos Whateley the Vikings never dressed remotely like any of those dwarfs, like the closest was the first one and it was more like a crusader era men at arms than a viking and maybe the dated ...

If WGA's other sets are anything to go by, you can start with a better price-per-mini:  a box of GEG's Gunslingers contains only ten figures, while WGA's Survivors and Agents sets, with a simi...

@Piisami Magical craftmen that make things like flying ships and magical boars is a concept that is at least begging hard to be given a magitech treatment if not inspiring it to a degree that deman...

What can WGA do that Great Escape Games' "Dead Man's Hand" plastic sets don't?  

@Hudson Adams Yes please make a box set.

I would like to see 28mm cowboys in plastic. 

I'm MASSIVELY oversimplifying, I know its a lot more complex on both ends. Ultimately it helps me to group up different aesthetics by what I most associate them with. By a "dnd" dwarf I'm secretly ...

@timbus the thirteenth "dnd-style dwarves tend to have that big round cylinder helmet and plate armor...." Really?  Maybe that's a 4th/5th edition thing?  Seems like most of the D&D ...

If you are doing Korean war don't forget the Glorius Glosters as one of the boxes. The british contribution to the korean war is easily forgotten.

These look amazing thank you for the photos

Any plans to do a digital set with Austro-Hungarian and Italian officers? I just downloaded the Austro-Hungarian infantry and then realised that there were no officers or NCOs to lead them! Is it j...

@timbus the thirteenth Close, something like that. Proper Fantasy, to me, is a vaguely dark ageish aesthetic. Some mix of early dnd art, Larry Elmore, that kinda stuff. The most proper version has ...

@timbus the thirteenth Definitely. The puddles vary a little in size. I got some unpainted, unbased orcs and a 25mm round handy and tested, 3-4 sit comfortably, I can cram 9 orcs onto this bad boy ...

@Piisami Okay, so if I'm getting this right, I think the problem boils down to dnd versus lotr. dnd-style dwarves tend to have that big round cylinder helmet and plate armor, while lotr-style dwarv...

Looks pretty neat! I was thinking of picking up some azincourt and some skellies myself so I could play aos on vacation. You think it would be possible to cram a couple onto a 32mm round?

From the left to the right, 10mm base, 12mm base, 15mm base and a monster on a 20mm base for comparison. I definitely think the 12mm base is the correct size for these, 10mm doesn't fit much more t...

@Yronimos Whateley I proposed a "Basic Armored torso body in historcal scale" in the sprue contest for General Accoutrements, which if I have my way would be the "armoured cuirass over buttoned tu...

@Brian Van De Walker No, that's just not true. They are definitely craftsmen, but magical craftsmen. Not technology. Arguing they do magitech is just plain false, not supported by anything, an opin...

@Piisami well you and others may not like it, but no the the last paragaph of my comment is 100% true if you believe Dwarfs came from the old pagan Norse myths and not from late Middle Ages Christi...

Managed to paint up the majority of a sprue of the Boneblades (I didn't paint the command stand yet).  They paint easy and they paint quick. Very pleased with the results and look forward t...

@timbus the thirteenth well, since you asked, I'll ramble. Whfb: this is a weird one. Very much their own thing, the newer sculpts, doubly so with the AoS factions. The warriors are approaching wh...

believe me i get it. im a knight fan so i've gone on several rambly rants about how sallet helmets and azincourt bascinets OBVIOUSLY have different vibes, leading to the average person looking at m...

@timbus the thirteenth Oh, I could wax on endlessly about the differences between those, definitely not generic 😂. Yeah. That might actually not be a terrible idea at all. There's some stuff on all...

WHY WHY WOULD YOU PUT THE IDEA OF GORILLA BODY IN MY HEAD WHY WOULD YOU TEMPT ME WITH THIS MORE PERFECT WORLD

@Piisami I think the issue here is that from my pov, there's easily five different "generic" ranges: whfb, mantic, fireforge, oathmark, and mesbg. but also, I am not a True Dwarf Enjoyer, and so I ...

@timbus the thirteenth I'm open to that.  Out of the sets for the Damned Deadth Fields faction, some of the more interesting bodies were one-offs on the Command sprue, in the form of a robed p...

I agree with Brian - seems like Wargames Atlantic has checked a LOT of boxes for me with the Pulp Adventure product line's Surivors, Agents, Operators, and Zombies, the Partisans I and II sets, the...

I'm still up for something a bit more Rip Van Winkle than LotR or Warhammer, and I never was a fan of historical theming for fantasy "races" (the demand for "Viking", "Scottish", "Japanese" "Assyri...

Just some ramblings. I've gotten all of my dwarves and some of my orcs painted. There were some single models on the sprues and on a whim I decided to start putting all those on individual bases, n...

@Mithril2098 as timbus there pointed out it might not be a bad idea to do the sprue with a basic, universal, boring to some but popular among dwarf aficionados kind of bodies and equipment as a cor...

i wouldn't mind a few nods to Discworld dwarves if a kit gets done. they're fairly stereotypical on the whole, with their axes, chainmail garments, etc. but you could add some 'deep-downer' heads (...

@Stephen Chalkley there are quite a few options out there: Warmaster Historicals: older favorite with familiar mechanics to things like Black Powder, etc. Uses 40x20mm basing as provided in box se...

@Brian Van De Walker I won't say you're wrong since it's all an opinion, but I will say I disagree with you. Let's start with rehashing the fact that Oathmark are not norse, and neither are th...

I finished the 6 bases of Orc archers (front row behind the command bases) which effectively renders this project complete. The box provided enough figures for me to field: 6 bases of sword and shi...

I've often said that dwarves are somewhat like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. everybody knows what a pb&j is like, they're not hard to make, and you've eaten it a million times. but doesn'...

I'm gonna go against the grain here, and actually say that I think the best "generic" bodies might be ones that are really characterful rather than plain. when I think of the head bits I like and u...

@Brian Van De Walker Actually I'm new york! I need the bricks to throw at cops cops and the molotovs at cop cars lol.

@Piisami  Your so wrong on that😆.  Not only is  it over done (Em4 does norse dwarfs, oathmark does norse dwarfs, God only  knows how  many norse dwarfs you can 3D print out...
