@AM yeah that armor lip is both a cool factor and an issue with the heavy infantry, but there are poses that work straight on, and I bet its a diffrent story if you add the pack laser to a regular ...

@timbus the thirteenth Thats just it, even if every WMD was used at the same time in a decent tatical pattern with the sole aim of crippling civilization as whole (which just isn't going to happen)...

@Mithril2098 Hey, I joined this forum on a quest for shirtless, muscular barbarians. I don't judge.
I hope if we do get elves, they lean more into the weirdo faerie look. I've always been fond of Pathfinder's Wild Hunt, maybe something like that? Either way I'm sick of cone hats. Please no more c...
@Brian Van De Walker I think he's talking about a "humanity has been nuked back to the stone age" type scenario, not so much "minor conflicts". In which case yes, I imagine it would probably be eas...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher You probably can't use the Communards for anything other than Communards and some French troops in the Franco Prussian war since this is what they actuallly dressed like appar...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher Umm, yeah there actually is no diffrence between high elves and wood elves outside GW sculpts (the oathmark elf sets cover both). Personally think they should do steamp...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher Hobby wise, you have a case, which is GW exists as the big fish in a small pound. As far as reality goes you made a terrible case (like the worst case ever), still are (infac...
@Brian Van De Walker, I think Diana Perton's book is pretty clear that the reason these ad-hoc Imperial formations were fighting their way up the rivers and railroads was to releave the e...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher actually VSF, pulp, and Steampunk gaming could use upper class multi-national Edwardian/late Victorian irregular forces, (and nah they would likely work for characters if noth...
might be useful, though i'd imagine that the research needed to pin down the outfits might be a pain. one thing i think would be a good choice would be a set of Late Qing Dynasty Imperial Army tro...
Here's the rest of the crew until I assemble some more. I think I want some more rifles and field caps with fur.
I always need control panels. Not even the whole stand or table they go on. Just the flat pannel of buttons and screens and levers I can slap onto any surface. Bonus if its a Moog synthesizer Smal...
Please don't make High Elves. There is no shortage of them in the universe and a bunch of folks make them better than you will. Just make classic Wood Elf adventurers. Yes they can be heavy ...
If you're going to treat the skirmish gamers in the room you might as well make some Communards. You could have your Prussian and French sets play out the encirclement as much as you want. B...
Also, next batch of four guys
I really have to tip the hat to WA producing this Boxers set. It is a bold choice. The issue with that particular conflict is that just about every Imperial power was involved, and that is a...
@Brian Van De Walker I think I've made a case for general low tech wastelanders. Yes, there are some kit bash options. But I'm pushing for a set that makes an autonomous warband. WA is really good ...
@timbus the thirteenth oh yes, I do. I got the tank and the walker from Rampart. Definitely recommend both kits. Walker's got enough extra legs I reckon I could rig up a trailer behind it ...
@Mithril2098 if i was going to kit bash musketry from any set for wastelanders I'ed probably use the Afghans
@timbus the thirteenth I am not familiar with the factions of Trench Crusade but some scurvy scavengers would definitely fit the aesthetic of that setting. If you're playing an ongoing skirm...
it's a bit of a weird project, i'll admit. all the more so in that i don't really have any specific game in mind (though i've been trying to keep compatibility with stuff like xenos rampant, OPR's ...
@Piisami Damn they turned out great! I might steal the idea to spruce up some of my leftover einherjar. The heavy infantry arms look awesome, too. Any plans for vehicles?
@Mithril2098 ....godspeed on this strange, noble quest. May the gods smile upon you.
quickie update.. got some pics of my "Leopard Russ" which i figure i'll be adding to these catts as heavy support. it's an old 1:48 scale cheap tank kit i converted. might need to redo the pintle m...
Hello. Its been a while. I actually came looking for info or a review of teh Halfling cavalry. But, @Yronimos Whateley I have a ton of the damned and would love a fantasy sprue to fantasy them up. ...
Still waiting on bases to come in the mail, I obviously forgot to add the deck bases into the same order and had to buy from a retailer this side of the customs wall. I'm not the greatest painter b...
Very much not a photographer, but it does work. A bit thinner, but the fit as regards chest width is pretty good.
@Brian Van De Walker yeah, that's a thing I was/am worried about, whether they're gonna fit easily. Am not very good at sculpting and joints I've done in the past that need putty of some kind are r...
It definitely feels like there's been a bit of a cork in the plastic quar pipeline lately. WA and Creevin have been on the release tracker for over a year, and though the Cavalry have been trucking...
@Piisami @timbus the thirteenth Well given we are talking space, I wouldn't worry about the size of the arms as much as the torso diffrence causing gaps since it is possible to put the Marcher arms...
i was wondering will anvil industries heads work on marcher bodies?,I ordered two boxes from wayland games and am hoping to kitbash them a bit
@timbus the thirteenth just waiting on the post office. It's good if they have the same proportions. Looking at the pictures I'm a little worried the GIs might have longer arms, but it might just b...
Sadly I don't have any pictures on me right now, but the arms should fit okay-ish. Einharjar have noticably bulky arms, so you might need to pick either the bulky arms or the skinny ones and stick ...
WGA's done good work partnering with other minis companies to produce plastics. so not surprised they'd partner with an established VSF minis maker for their VSF project. and i can see them renami...
So, I decided to go for it and buy the Einherjar, been eyeing them for some time. Gonna kit some out just as they are in the box for use in Death Fields in case I ever find someone willing to try a...
@OrlandotheTechnicoloured Well mine was a dry fit so you can take it with a grain of salt. Edit: I suppose some people would find it a little too far up on the horse but it still works.
Just did some research and apparently they're an update on the design of the Martians from OSHIRO miniatures. Unfortunately, apparently these aren't martians. Not entirely sure if I can share a li...
@Brian Van De Walker All I know is I like them and want to see what are their options. I'd love to see more generic alien options in general.
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, I'm looking forward to the Sci-Fi phase.
Well if they work for you i'll delete that tip (thanks for commenting), I had a built horse with the blanket saddle and couldn't get the rider to sit on it and ended up pulling it appart and repla...
Yeah, I'd mixed up these guys with the shadowkesh. The rest of the Iron Core universe looks really sick from what I've seen, I'm hoping we get to see stuff outside of the basic empire soon. Also, I...
So any idea on the time horizon for a new box, especially the Ikko Ikki. With some less armored miniatures I could probably make some Guerilla/Ninjas too.
@OrlandotheTechnicoloured Really? I have 8 cav sprues worth of outriders and built 4 to 5 riders and 3 horses (2 horses with outrider saddles and 1 with saddle blanket), from what I can tell the ri...

No shade to WGA; but I was kind of hoping that each DF team would have something like variants for each team. It's all good, it just gives us more opportunities to kitbash and build new minis. I've...
@Lord Marcus Good to hear. Looking forward to General accoutrements voting stage. @Marco M I think the polls, FB group, and Vox nomanition do that enough as far as sensing what people want.
