Sights, scopes, perhaps even the occaisional underslung G/L? On the otherhand, there is the danger of overclutter, perhaps only 2-3 of those guys should get the goodies as upgrades. TI/IINF should...
WTF? Unnecessary.
@William Hallam "The free outrider spure? what am i going to do with three of them if i dont buy a box of them?" You can use the heads, arms and maybe other components to convert your other...
Couple of hours into the campaign:
Great work. Maybe add some Reddot sights or Scopes, ANPEQ/Laser devices and supressors
Couple of pictures of some Iron Core troops that I have slightly modified. New helmets, shoulder pads and pouches 3d printed, and a few other parts sculpted from green stuff. ...
4 rattle cans of black and 2 cans of grey and we are ready for painting

@Chris R Effectively the M1 was. 'til the '80s, one of the most widespread military item in the world, not only in its metal. original form, I saw iraquis soldiers with ballistic plastic hemets fro...
@William Hallam Well, they could be useful as: Scouts, characters on horseback or officers. Naturally I'm a collector/modeler, not a gamer, so it is a matter of personal tastes.
The ultimate conclusion to the ROBOTS - FUBAR saga (for me at least) was a refund on the offending items. Below is what I went out & bought to replace them. I am more than confident they will...
@JTam By all means! But at the moment it would be enough for me if next to the head with the helmet with net there was just another head with helmet with net without a screaming face. What I partic...
Lots of great info in this blog post: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/prep-for-launch Love this: And if they get over $500,000.00 in pledges they are going to start having all kinds of...
The Wargames Atlantic Friday Email (26 MAY 23) had this sneak peak: I imagine these are the Hound's handlers. Also gives a great sneak peak at what the female Infantry kit m...
Friday Email sneak peak 26 MAY 23: I believe we are looking at Hound handlers.
My two cents on the campaign. I love all th models so far, all look aweome. I dont like textured bases, so any free sprues of that stuff is getting thrown out or sold for pennies on ebay. Dont lik...
@Alessio De Carolis Nice find on the painting guide. Enjoyed the Krieg video as well. Shit got real at 4:35 when the shovel came out:
After 5 years of campaigning against a certain Mr Sharpe, they may be running low on the stuff (not La Garde of course ) . The 'official' Silver Bayonet figures are the overscaled 'Heroic' 28mm, t...
Now there is also a (little) painting guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXkBO_Ur3Y plus look to these Krieg's enemies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmv9YA2pS-g
Astounding jobs! About the garlic, I imagine these ones could repel an army of "old style" vampires in The Silver Bayonet! 😜
@JTam As for mix/match, here's a group of WIP figures to illustrate. Front left is a vanilla WGA rifleman as reference, his neighbours use the same torso plus Victrix flank co arms & ...

@Dennis Horne Thanks for the all the detail. I'm not sure I remember that book. I suppose that means it's time to start rereading them ;)

Couple new "sneak peaks here": https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/the-damned-moves-to-tuesday Maybe from the Command Sprue? And Artillery Sprue?
@JTam Its the one where he is 'hanged' so sent off to work independantly behind enemy lines (and presented with his long tailed horse). Remains an independant until he rejoins and takes command of ...
Is there a book where Sharpe is an Exploring Officer?
Fantastic work. I love the Sharpe books and this is an awesome project to see. Did you have much trouble using the Warlord, Perry, and Victrix parts with the Wargames Atlantic (WGA) Riflemen?&nbs...
All of them can be used as Stargrave Captain/Mate characters, the KillBot in the middle could be a robo-Commando, robo-Pathfinder or just plain unwanted attention. ;)
@Tor Dunderkuk Part ot the idea of these fora is to share tips & tricks :). Blue Stuff (other thermoplasic resins are out there) is an oldtimer's repair and rescue saviour when one of your fav...
Yep, guys I have got enough photo capability to post figures, there is enough stuff over the ROBOTS-FUBAR era to annoy you all for a wee while - non of it will involve only-games. Another collecti...
@Dennis Horne Never heard of blue stuff. looks pretty sweet, thanks for telling me!
@JTam The Battle Toads look amazing! They will be a brilliant new DF team but I can see them being great for all the other Sci-Fi themed skirmish games too. Another kit that needs to get into plast...
I agree with you, my Friend : the 2nd man is just wearing the liner. If we look at the front, we see two "holes" (a perforation and a fastener), which are characteristic of the liner. The steel po...
@Blutze the shingles are made from notepad backing. The rounded door frames are also made of this but the rectangular doors are simply Coffee stir sticks and/or balsa wood. The rounded windows are ...

WGA did release the very nice US Airborne kit as a FEB/MAY bonus:
Battle Toads dropped: They look really good for what they are. I really like the weapons: Does anyone else find frogs with teeth disconcerting? Where we are at 23 MAY 23:
Front 4 figures are an RHA Officer Victrix telescope Perry LDragoon head, Sgt using a Victrix NCO torso and 2 Sharpes (early and later exploring officer). The rear two mounted ones use Warlord Gam...
A set of conversions from the WA Rifles Box.
What are you using for the window and door frames? Is that scratchbuilt too, or some commercial product? Also, what thickness are your shingles - paperblock backer, cereal packaging, or something i...
The first half of the kickstarter idea is sound. By making people actually pay instead of just vaguely saying "I might buy this", you get 100% reliable market data that eliminates risk for both sid...
