Any idea when they are scheduled to go on pre-order or released? It's seems like they have been progressing slower than other releases. I am very excited for the release of these figures....

Maybe a mix of both? Two fur speedos and four harnesses would be a good compromise, since it lets wga build off the existing digital sculpts. At the very least it would be a step up from the altern...
personally, if they go this route, i'd make the 'scifi' bits like guns based off the Barsoom style of guns, so the kit can make either conan-clones or John carter expies.. in the books the guns fir...
You do you @Brian Van De Walker , but I didn't invent the term, it's over 40 years old by now, older than Warhammer, and the style itself is even older: Raygun Gothic The hayday of the style...
Depending where you live you may find resellers who split the boxes. It can be quite poor return for the WA, but I would welcome this option as well. There's Sprueshop UK and Battle-models in ...
Alright, so I'm going to preface this by saying that I know next to nothing about how production works, so this might be a much larger request than I'm imagining. With that said, there's a really n...
@Yronimos Whateley I would be cool with lefthanded flintlock/percussion cap pistols and Uzis for the barbarians instead of rayguns if they need guns particularly if the target your aiming for...
Honestly I'd just go for it if you like the models, scale and setting be damned. You'd be suprised what a healthy dose of bits and wires can do to any kind of model to make it look sci-fi.
@Yronimos Whateley Ah, that wonderful blend of heroin, ignorance of nonwestern civilizations, and repressed bisexuality that makes turn-of-the-century pulp so wonderful! Yeah, I was looking at most...
A bit late to this, but I'm going to say that it's Edgar Rice Burroughs and Frank Frazetta that you get to blame for the fantasy barbarian in loincloth archetype - Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barb...
no updates on the above.. but we have a new one to add the list... QUAR PARTISANS - Layout yep, the armed civilians are on the way.
@Drangir You can also just add magazines, scopes, wiring, etc. to the guns the mini has, though admittedly that depends on the look you want.
@Elliot Vulkan I don't really think you need to kitbash or convert them persay, the crusaders for example are pretty dang SciFi looking already, in a Valliran comics sort of way even. Heck for Dea...
Good way to incorporate weapons to minis is to keep handles as they are and carefully exchange the weapons - it works great for most of the WA minis and with quar you may be lenient with proportion...
I think you could rig the ruleset to allow both head to head battles, or as a "castle defense" game with elements of space hulk. you just have the "castle defense" version be a different set of sce...
Wow, I feel terrible I missed this thread when it was still fresh - what a great find! I took the "dungeon crawl" description the same way Brian did, but I think the idea of a Weird World War-them...
I was wondering much the same thing. I haven't seen one of the Quar kits in person so I don't know how well it would work, but I think the bodies are a bit shorter than typical 28mm figures, ...
No worries! I think I had a picture-heavy post or two disappear, and throught it was just me - I had been going blind by that point and couldn't see well enough to try to figure out what happ...
I love this sort of thing. A couple that have occurred to me over the last couple years, often while kitbashing weird character ideas or modifying off-the-shelf plastic scale model kits: V...
@timbus the thirteenth thanks. That's a great idea.
@MultiTool It's a different kit, but I've had some success with chopping a rifle out and attaching it to the back. Then, you use a bit of wire, bend it into shape, and glue it on to make a belt. Th...
@Drangir cheers mate. They're a great set. The horsemen have some pistols in a holster but ideally I would like to add rifles in scabbards to the horses too. That may test my skills sculptin...
I had no idea Raumjagers had such nice rifles in the set! in this undercoat the detail is awesome. Pity I have little need for box of them, but they're really good. I'm especially curious about you...
Absolutley loving the wargames atlantic kits. Been working on some tallarn and praetorian guard inspired troops. Kits used include raumjaeger (love the shoulder pauldrons), bulldogs, ...
Having them side to side only confirms, in my mind, that they don't really match. Apart from the paint job the whole silhoute of the minis is completly different, the raumjager are almost square s...
@timbus the thirteenth Obviously I share Brundage's love for scantily clad attractive people in danger. As for "king Conan" going into battle wearing a sallet "mercenary Conan" would be described ...
I am so looking forward to this. I will be fighting come at Crispin's day next year, as I fear this year my painter might not make it even if they come out yesterday
A set of dogs. A wide range of breeds, all in one set. Chihuahua, wolfhound, labrador Shepperd, go wild!
i was wondering, how kitbash worthy are the quar, i am asking because i think they could be a funny little extra in games of deathfields
The game box for your Grand Scale Battle samurai range is about to be released, in collaboration with Helion & co to include the Heiho ruleset by Pauli Kidd. I was wondering if other similar g...
Now that command has been out for some time and that the Heiho game box is close to release, I would comment on what I want next. Ikko ikki can make their own box with similar configurations as ...
Now that we are getting closer to release, can we have a list of contents for the box? Maybe also a price range? I would guess two sprues ashigaru, two samurai, and two command (one for each side ...
Thank you for the suggestion
Aliens. Grey humanoid aliens with different head sculpts,hand positions(armed,unarmed). Handless weapons(no hand molded on some weapons)for use in kitbashing. Equipment.
I'd like to see some wildlife accoutrements(snakes,bears,dear,elk,moose and wolves. These would go great with ancient and modern games.
@Sir Nobody mostly it's the visual similarities of the two sets of minis: Steel Legion and Raumjeagar the steel elgion's masks do have a bit more of a russian style (especially with tha...
@Mithril2098 I get the feeling that only happens when hyperlinks and pics are involved.
@Drangir rn it really depends on who the regiment is. There's well-drilled, well-equipped regiments like the cadians or vostroyans. Then there's guys like the salvar chem-dogs, who are literally ju...
@Sir Nobody >I see the appeal ohhh you want shirtless barbarian models tooo ohhh (okay but fr the thought of conan in a sallet is really funny for some reason. Thanks for the conan lo...
@Mithril2098 Okay first of all: all of this Conan backstory is genuinely really interesting, thanks for typing all this out! I've read a grand total of like five Conan comics, so my knowledge is pr...
army commanders in the armies of england and france at the time tended to be equipped the same as their other nobles (that is, as knights), so i don't think you'd get a seperate command box the way...
@Sir Nobody yeah, in the Conan stories the main times he's depicted running around without clothing was usually "after he got captured and stuck in the BBEG's prison", and that's just presented as ...
@timbus the thirteenth Just to be annoying the shirtless speedo wearing barbarians are more Marvel comics Conan than Robert E. Howard Conan. Though Howard did occasionaly write Conan wearing little...
Seeing as it looks like my dream of a scifi Polish cavalry set isjust that I attempted to sculpt something that looked similar enough. Grognards with putty added to their kepi to resemble the ro...
IMO the third edition guard was any and all WW1 stereotypes with a fair bit of "enemy at the gate" style soviets. Personel favourite version of the guard came with the 3.5 codex doctrines that all...
Thanks for sharing! There was still much more out there than I realised. Overall I'm very happy with what I'm seeing in terms of sculpts. The mounted knights look very dynamic and have a decent var...
