@Stuart Shumack I was thinking a cheap alternative for a certian game while also being usable for pulp and fantasy games.  Plus it was dang cool in Natural Doctrian.

You mean like the ones they had in "War of the World: Goliath"?

the idea here is for a steampunk/VSF/etc type fantasy kit, with the Wells type "beaked brain with tentacles" martians.. but the catch is that they're driving miniaturized versions of their tripods,...

@Brian Van De Walker Ha Pig orcs with percussion cap firearms gives me vibes of The Island of Dr. Moreau. 

@Stuart Shumack Well, for pig faced orcs I would actually be kinda of happy with mildly bigger to historical scale humans (like the lizardman are to historical, except with potbellies) but I know w...

That's true. Though, the pig faced orcs in the old DnD artwork don't seem particurally larger than the human characters they're fighting. The Dark Hold versions absolutely are though; hence, they w...

@Stuart Shumack actually with orcs one can apply the "Xeno scaling rule" to an extent if your using historical scale humans (ie the sizing doesn't have matter as much with non-human subjects) and I...

@JD_D Try asking the Wargames Atlantic Digital FB group, they might know.

I was really looking forward to the army builder late romans, I really don't like the multi pose, masses of parts type plastic figures. They're okay for skirmish games but are a pain for large unit...

Been waiting for these for years and now the Perrys have beaten WA to it

Hi, I just downloaded the US Airborne and while I have numerous other WGA digital I've found that they're often inconsistently scaled when printing vs their physical ranges.    Since th...

Ah, a Grand Battle Scale samurai boxed set would make far more sense than anything I'd have imagined! I was wondering about it myself - I noticed the reference in the last couple newsletters, but ...

@Mithril2098 - I'm sure that 1/72 scale tanks, artillary, tractors, and many "battlefield accessory" type elements will work just fine for the Quar, given their small stature and  the fa...

Now we are on the cusp of April is there any update on when the command boxes will be released in the UK and how many sprues in each?  I need to be able to budget for them when I get paid nex...

@Doctor Tyrannosaur The Otherworld pig orcs certainly look the part! I think Dragonbait miniatures picked up the Overworld stuff. They also carry the Dark Fable pig-orcs, which were also sculpted b...

at the moment i'm going to let it stand at 30 infantry, since i've got other projects to work on without spending money. (with summer coming up, where i'll be living on savings with no paycheck [i ...

Rubicon ( 1/56 scale plastic ) has a couple  M-113 variants  , Centurians , M-48 Patton , T 54 & 55 , a 8 wheeled Russian BTR 60 armored car  and some amphibious PT-76 thingy . B...

been making a list of 1/48 or 1/56 scale affordable kits (less than $40 generally, since that's the lower end of GW's stuff), biggest problem has been finding relatively modern stuff that isn't a t...

@Mithril2098 hmm, it should be less than "new from GW" vehicles, but thats not saying much on that front though it well be a great kit.  If  price point is your main concern and you need ...

@Michael SchultzI have seen used 3D printers go for less than $200, of course I live in a urban/suburban area so that might not be case everywhere.   Likewise I wouldn't count on GW for ...

apologies for the lack of updates. i'm afraid my muse is a fickle thing prone to distracting me with other projects. still haven't painted the first 6, but last night i finally sat down and tackled...

I'd go for a good set of Pig Orcs. Otherworld made a great line of them, but they've sadly shut down. I'm kicking myself for not picking them up when I had the chance.

Hi All, Sadly the following was posted by the Reptilian Overlords on their Discord Forum yesterday regarding the status of the plastic SpaceNam Heavy Weapons being developed. "I've answered this ...

@Mithril2098 A set of heads would be fine by me! Pig faced orcs tend to be little different from a regular human anyway. Besides the head, of course. 

eh.. i liek the Angus McBride style underbite orcs from the cover art of the grand battle figures. those would be good in 28mm. but no reason why you couldn't do pig faced orcs as part of the varia...

personally i'm assuming only 1 per box until i hear otherwise. given the shapes involved i'd guess that each tank would probably be at least two full sprues each, and we've seen they'll do 2 full s...

With the tractors being quite small for 28mm kits do we anticipate there being more than one person box, at least for the initial ones? Maybe two or even three if we are lucky, or are they just goi...

@Hudson Adams Thank you! Hopefully this pig-faced orc train will gain traction. 

@Tobias Heunemann I lik the Beastmen idea! I'd prefer the pig-faced orcs as a separate kit, but we could absolutely use more beastmen miniatures. 

Just for you I'm running a poll on Facebook! 

@Big Boi the size in this image is not the actual size

I like the idea! Would probably work great with the Guards and Villagers boxes! Also some variation of orc's compared to other genres would be refreshing... Maybe a box with Beastfolk in generel...

Does anyone else other than me wish to propose that Wargames Atlantic produce Pig-Faced Orcs, like the old-school Advanced DnD art from the 70s? If not as a full set, than perhaps some conversion b...

Heck yeah!. The helmets look a little big but im sure theyll look good in person. I appreciate that many of the weapon arms look easy enough to cut off at the wrists and replace with other weapons

@Charles Tottington Almost for sure the samurai.

Googling the term, I find 兵法 (Heihō) or "art of war". More literally "war system" So I'd guess it's a game for the grand battle scale samurai armies. Perhaps with two each of the ashigaru, samurai...

When I was looking at yesterday's email, I saw something about a Heiho game in a box. Now this was my first time hearing of this, and admittedly the very first thought to pop up in my mind was dwar...

https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/canadian-dollar-pricing-now-live I'd consider this as a fair move from WA in this case!

@Hudson Adams thanks for the clarification.. that actually answers a question i've seen on other forums and social media about what those dates in the weekly updates mean.

@Hudson Adams Thanks again!

Beginning of April

@Hudson Adams Ok, thank you SO much! Loosely related, what sort of pre-order dates would you put on the command boxes at a rough guess?

@FOD287 those are the T1 dates - first (and usually final) test shot. So add another month or so after that for release. Sometimes longer depending on the schedules. 

  Update! One of the three frames for the Dark Age AB set is off to tooling!

Quick question: are those dates next to the middle couple of kits the time they are predicted to go on pre-order, or something else I'm too dense to figure out?
