@Yronimos Whateley You do know thats a zapper cave right? the ones dug underneath castle walls to either bypass them or to cuase the wall to fall.

@Don Williams @timbus the thirteenth even with those counter points, unless WA goes away from the beaten European path with something like the palmyrenes I would say there isn't much of...
I'd personally guess they'd fall into the "fantasy" line.. they're far enough back and based on sufficiently speculative info that they don't really fit the "first empires" catagory, and as mention...
Could also be that the Capote was people trying to copy the pattern/style of the watchcoat, just using readily available materials on the frontier. not unlike how later on settlers in the american ...
Looking through the new posted rules, I do not see actual information for teams and gear outside of a few sample excepts. I presume there will be team packets coming out with additional information...
For what it's worth, while sidetracked, the Townsends reenactor's coat looks to my eye a LOT like a more professionally-tailored version of a "capote" - a home-made winter coat they used to home-ma...
@Charles Tottington "...Cavemen and Neanderthals would probably fall under the Pulp range given one of the caveman things WGA has is a T-Rex that can have caveman riders on it..." Pulp would be my...
There aren't any spear/polearm bits or the like in sight, and I'm guessing it'll be a digital set, but this intriguing preview of what looks like primarily seige terrain bits was included in today'...
@Brian Van De Walker i don't think they've explicitly said either way. it's certainly a lower priority for sure. but i think there is potential, even within the framing for the Death fields Arena ...
@Yronimos Whateley The original Rust Monster!!!!😭@Yronimos Whateley
@Yronimos Whateley The original Rust Monster!!!!😭
I love victrix dearly, but their quality can be...weird. Especially given how gorgeous their barons war minis are (sorry wga), their older stuff can kinda suck ass. Even now, it's crazy how they ca...
@Brian Van De Walker you make some good points. I'd love to see Sassanian Persians and Huns be the major focus of these releases. Although I do have Republican Romans, Gauls, and Successor Greek ar...
If you wanted to spin it as a sci-fi kit, I think the best way would be to give it a couple steampunk bits. That way you can have stuff like robot arms, clockwork monocles, and space lasers without...
@Brian Van De Walker Well yes, when I refer to the average horde army player's caveman brain, I am referring mostly to myself. GOD I love human wave tactics
@Mithril2098 agreed though honestly I kinda of felt the CF where done with the infantry sets, like maybe add an RPG team for big battles so its more fun but as a team I feel they they are just sent...
@Mithril2098 Hmm, 40k's lore is such a diverse pile of bile with thousands of Human planets with there own cultures that no those would actually work fine for the 41st millennium nobelity and...
deathfields has civilian kits in WGA digital, and they're more alongthe lines of star wars or "near future scifi" than warhammer 40k. if you are looking more for 'multipart civilia...
@Mithril2098 Thanks everyone for the discussion. I never realised just how long and prevalent tights / leggings were high fashion. I certainly see pre ww2 trousers and jeans fashion in a ne...
It looks like Blacksite Studio have made a game just for OP: https://blacksitestudio.com/en-gb/pages/kosmika
eh, i like mantic's monobikes, design wise at least. and i was aiming at more of a 'scout infantry' element for that army. in the end i went with an armored car instead. personally i'm hoping that ...
@Mithril2098 if you had a 3D printer, there would likely be better options than mantic's monowheels, like you could probably do this one:
Okay the pristen sprue pics finally reached the right device, you can see what I mean though these are bikers on horses:
@timbus the thirteenth it does look epic though.
Monowheels would be neat. and they'd certainly resolve the controls issue, since steering on those is more down to shift of balance, with the handlebars generally being just for holding on. i'd wan...
Yeah, on second thought, it's not like horses don't need special arms and bodies to work with riders either. The current grognards cavalry set doesn't have any physical reins, either, so it wouldn'...
@Brian Van De Walker Gates of Antares by Warlord has these guys, which have a sorta biomechanical vibe. Maybe full mechsuits wouldn't be possible, but weird combinations of harvester organisms and ...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, people have done it with mixed models, and it usually sucks and is unfun when its actually on the board. It's more a matter of just how much it appeals to the average hor...
@Brian Van De Walker The main thing that I think makes the palmyrenes look so fantasy-y is probably a mix of two things. First of all, they're from a kinda esoteric period, so you don't look at the...
Well, my pledge did come in, now I am trying to get the photos off my phone and failing and for some reason I can't post the official sprue shot, so I will just give an overveiw of it a...
@timbus the thirteenth Hmm, I think have seen someone do it with a mix off brand models (honestly I probably could if I actually wanted to, but why?)
@Mithril2098 But we do already there is a horse box and a Chariot box🤣 That joke aside, the arm issue, etc. could be worked around likely already fake future bike controls don't need to be in the ...
the collar being closed and turned up that high is probably more of a hollywood thing, but that style of greatcoat (sometimes called a watchcoat) certainly was a thing. if you got a few hundred buc...
@timbus the thirteenth The Travel coat would certianly work for alot, tricornes... I guess it reminds me of homeschool Americian history too much.
@Mithril2098 Biomechanical mech suits kinda of sounds like a tough theme to pull off in 28mm models to me but I am welling to be proved wrong.
@timbus the thirteenth LOL those neo-pagans would be more confused goofball than some Yu-Gi-Oh monster in thier own top 10 back storys I have been bing watching on youtube, WA should totally do/not...
@Mithril2098 Yeah I get what your saying, the palmyrenes just have this fantasy vibe to them and I am not sure why WA isn't doing them next in the Decline and fall range.
howabout mechanical walkers, ala the cawdor ridgewalkers in 40K? and agreed that motorbikes might be trickier to make universal, but some sort of wheeled transport might still be f...
@Chaos stu painting Not sure if you're in the horus heresy community, but there's a way to make a list in that game with over 1000 conscript bodies! It's a bit of white whale in the community, just...
@Mithril2098 Wholeheartedly agree. I've been expanding into cavalry for some of my armies and I'd love an option that doesn't require as much kitbashing. Fortunately WGA seems quite interested in m...
basically what the title says. i kinda wish that we'd get some boxes of cavalry mount options that just exist to be options for cavalry, without them being tied to specific faction cavalry boxes, o...
I have just received my damned order today (uk backer) I just need to order a ton of bases now haha .I'm very happy with them. My plan is to convert a load and paint them in the colours of the moeb...
Man I'd kill for some palmyrenes in plastic. Had plans for a kings of war army based around them, but was never able to find anything affordable that matched well. It evolved into a more classic EI...
@Brian Van De Walker For orcs I was picturing mutant war of the roses knights, but honestly I like your idea better. Maybe the einharjar have a bunch of random modern neopagans running around with ...
This is a little off topic, but I've been dreaming for a while of a 1600s-1800s travel wear set. For whatever reason, I can't for the life of me find any pictures of actual examples outside of magi...
@Mithril2098 Yeah, I am sure someone will try to counter argue you on it but honestly its true Europe was pretty much same-same looking. The most fun looking thing to me as a fantasy army builder f...
@Anthony Edwards the set includes Grenadiers and Voltiguers too
