I've been painting up a pair of crews for Stargrave as a gift for my friend's birthday on May 15th. I have finished the first crew, the Convicts. I think they look pretty good, but Free-handing the...

@Vitor Soares Well, hopefully they will be legs and torso bodies without arms attached but they could end up more static, we will see.

@JTam@Red Bee  I agree, the armored German Trench Raiders would be awesome set to have in plastic just for the fantasy kitbashing alone. I don't think they need to add Death Fields upgrade spr...

@Owen Lee if it's just the guards/hilts that are throwing you off, consider trying to add green stuff or something similar to the sword hold hand to make a "basket", etc. hilt. You may want to do t...

@Red Bee They were only available for the month of promotion - legally we cannot offer it anymore

The Trench Raiders look like a great base for a deathfields team. Maybe add in the DF upgrade sprue, and maybe theme them as a team that specializes in seiges and tight spaces that has its homebase...

I appreciate that it was brought up that WGA was producing the Gangs of Rome kit and that the new Death Fields release is a colab and a big project. I was unaware of that and I am happy to know the...

@Frank Reischmann  Really nice work!  A Zug plus looks pretty impressive. Forgive me if I asked this already, but was there a game or rules you were going to use these for?

Ordering by Mark via ebay was easy... ( transfercosts to germany was high... ;-) ) ...but that was not Mark's fault. I hope Mark brings out the previous kits as 3D prints as well.... I still need ...

So guys... here the shots of my five STUGs...The weapons have been magnetized and all models can be used with the hatch closed as well as open with tank-commander.  ... and the last one.....

@Padomay  Appreciate the link.  Thanks!

@JTam the last ones. Good mix of body positions ans weapons. Also, the generic bodies could be very, very useful for a lot of different historical and fantasy settings. The female hoplites set, we...

@Paul Mitting  Which ones?

@JTam The head is from one of the models by Artel W, this one, Einherjar Tank Commander, one of her alternative heads. Really a nice model, it's always refreshing [to me] when officer models are ju...

@JTam the ancient looks like an amazing set. 

@Dennis Horne Maybe. I am giving them another chance to disappoint me - I ordered another batch of minis! We'll see if they can get their sh*t together this time!

@Padomay  The boltgun conversion looks great! Where is the female head from?

@JTam Dear lords of WGA, please make these in plastic!

These set is awesome too.  Neat to see troops from the dawn of time.  Look really useful for Rice Edgar Burroughs, or 10,000 BC, or similar gaming.    

The Polish Cavalry: F*ck, Awesome. I hope we see this in plastic too.

The multi-part American Paras in M42 uniforms are amazing.  Big hole in the market.  Super interesting and super useful. Uniform and kit looks pretty good. Only the webbing buckle loo...

This is an awesome kit idea that really compliments WGA's existing sets..... But the sculpting is a miss for me. Why are their tunic pockets even with the hem? They are wearing wool pa...

The female Hoplites are amazing. Just really well done.

This was such a big update I thought it needed its own post: https://www.myminifactory.com/tribes/WargamesAtlantic/posts/Two_New_Sets_Posted_3_Previews-18671  

Great News!: https://www.myminifactory.com/tribes/WargamesAtlantic/posts/Two_New_Sets_Posted_3_Previews-18671 American Paras in M42 uniforms?  Sick.  Super awesome and super useful....

@Red Bee  Ah, interesting read.  Thanks. Ref: Ain't this the truth.  The misconceptions bandied around about the Vox Populi makes my head hurt.

@Frank Reischmann Hah thank you!I would say the Iron Core models themselves are a treat to paint, there's lots of large curved armor plates that can be glazed with very little hassle compared to lo...

WOW... unbelievible paint-job... I don't trust my eyes... 🤩 can't belief that quality... 1000 from 100 points... I would like to have 1% of your ability to do THAT... Great work...

While I'm a touch too late with these for the painting contest, I'm still working through my stack of Iron Core guys. I had a spare resin boltgun lying around, and since I'm still not 100% what to ...

@JTam on the blog https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/a-fireside-chat

@Red Bee  What "Fireside" post?

Has anyone had luck with the OPR mini? I'm still having the same error when ever I try to download the files.

We've been seeing a lot of hints at this new Deathfields team. I wonder if these will be the full army the Fireside post was talking about? I was kind of hoping for Einherjar, Oohra, or Rebell Yell...

@Red Bee  Well the glorious return of Warhammer Fantasy Battles of course ;)

Just dropped: I have no real interest in the late Roman Empire, but I really like this type of upgrade kit. Psst.....  Panzer Lehr Panzerschreck.  

@JTam My guess was comms device. On first seeing them I thought it might be a chunkily modeled piece of hanging fabric, just a little ornament, but looking at their official painted references they...

@Yronimos Whateley this is exactly what I was looking for as a type of sword even if it isn't a sword bit conversion. The warband member is titled ' duelist' that uses a heavy cloak like a shield ...

They seem to be progressing nicely:

@Nigel Jones  I assume it's just to sci-fi it up a bit.  (I've never seen a shako/or bearskin worn with a gas mask either).  Maybe a small radio/comms vane?  A miniaturized IFF...

@Yronimos Whateley  I was actually fortunate enough to see a real Giradoni rifle at the National Military Museum, Bucharest, Romania. Pictures here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/x...

I just mentioned a couple of examples which I have actually used as an illustration. Also there is plenty of potential for use of plastic spares from the likes perry, victrix and even warlord games.

@Paul Mitting Might be worth having a word...

I'm glad to see the huge variety of minis available today - it's really a golden age for this sort of thing! But, I think my favorite developments have been all the Renaissance, Victorian, and WWI...

@JTam - glad you enjoyed that!  :)   The Victorian era tends to get all the attention for that sort of innovation, but the 18th Century seems to have spawned quite a few weird and i...

Brian's conclusion sounds fair enough to me - a couple searches for things like "Toledo side sword" and the like conjure up results that seem reasably close: Looks like these sorts of blad...

Yes

I was looking back on these and had a question. What is that device on the left sides of all the shakos? The rectangular bit. I've never seen that on a historical piece. 

@Brian Van De Walker yes, I know, I also have some Gripping Beast boxes. Their problem is that GB normally have one arm already as part of the body. I am waiting to see how the amy builder boxes a...

@JTam those are some gorgeous minis. I have absolutely no idea what I'd use them for, but I need a full set tonight.

@Vitor Soares I don't know on that, Gripping Beast already has 40-44 figure kits (ie armybuilders or close enough for practical purposes) that cover for Late Romans and Goths, though I well admit W...
