Does anyone have a list of which helmets are 'more likely' to be used for which armies in the conflict? The two furred hats are Russian, the horned and hooded head could be used for just about any ...

i would point out that just because a set is included under the fantasy line does not automatically mean it'll have to be using the more 'heroic' sculpting style. the handful of human sets in the f...
Just got the Afghan Horsemen and I am for the first time a little diappointed. The riders appear to have been designed for much larger horses. So thier legs are very wide (having riden horses they ...
@Logan Lewis No, they should just do them all in Blood Oaths since its the same time frame and the Islamic world was heavily involved with Southern Europe all through out the time frame, an...
@Brian Van De Walker I think we’re talking past each other a bit here. You’re presenting your opinions as if they’re objective truths, and dismissing other people’s intere...
@Mithril2098 I think that's the Spearmen/Bowman plastics imminently due. There's also a Heavy Infantry on the list.
i beleive they're first empires, if they're the same ones that have been seen in pics from people who got a few to paint up. they're the fairly typical 'linen tunics, leather chest armor, helmet, l...
There's an Egyptian Heavy Infantry listed on the Release Schedule; are these First Empires or another time period? I'd love two-handed swords and axes for my ADLG army I'm building. (Also, can't w...
@Logan Lewis It might not (I think female sets tend to under perform), the responses are old and from what can be labeled as a vocal minority doesn't know history (some of them wanted Chariots with...
yes it might sell.. but put it into the fantasy line, where it fits better, because it's *not historical.* i get that shieldmaidens are a fixation of yours as far as kits goes, but the historicals ...
"why focus on a sexy but heavily debated fringe topic"Because it might sell better? I know I'd pick up a couple kits like that for some added variety and a fun thing to paint. It ...
@Percival i believe WGA has their own orc kit currently in the works, so I doubt this would work out, sorry. they are quite nice looking though!
@Logan Lewis I think it should be l"the women of the Dark Ages" first with more utility parts and less weapons since even considering shield maidens as a historical set topic by themsel...
@Mithril2098 well, I am not sure the 3D models would still be around either. Also I am not sure Warlord owns the manufacturing right to the old WGF stuff so much as the distribution right which is...
@Percival hmmm, that would likely be up to Fireforge.
Hello Wargames Atlantic and Forum, A number of years ago Fireforge Games did some kickstarters for their Forgotten World range, they had a wargame ruleset that they also produced but I don't think...
i was thinking more obtaining the legal details of the ownership and the 3D files used to make them.
@Brian Van De Walker I was thinking more shieldmaiden-like with unarmored and lightly armoured bodies, with some head and weapon options that would look more generic to make the kits viable for use...
@Mithril2098 they could also be just gone, those where some pretty old molds.
@Logan Lewis ,Mithril is right on them being numerically skechty historically and honestly Shieldmaidens will look cooler and stand out better on the table done with fantasy in mind even if w...
pretty sure that given how Wargames factory ended up, the old WF greatcoats either now belong to warlord games, or still belongs to Wargames factory (which still exists on paper in china, though th...
Are the two sets coming to Death Fields or does the big W have them with the bikers and zombies and the stuff they branded for the nowhere spelled backwards game? I heard the defiance stuff might c...
looksl ike when the quar stuff does starts again, we're going to be getting creevin stuff for awhile.. this week's teaser image is of the Anfyr heavy tractor. which is one that no one was expectin...
@timbus the thirteenth and here they are finished, bases and all. Walker's plodding along well, too. Finished the front, building a transport bed for the back atm
added build notes for the heavy infantry
@Hudson Adams I'm a little late to this discussion, but just came across it when I was looking for build instructions... For what it's worth, GW didn't only start providing instructions when their ...
@Seventyone hell, my minis from 2017, 2018 look teeny next to new ones 🤣 I think there was a big scale shift in around 2018-2020. cool minis btw
I bought gaunt's ghosts from gee dubs to go with my damned and bulldogs. Man the gw figures are massive! I'm sure they weren't that enormous back in the 90s
Shieldmaidens are a fantasy product line, not historical. While there is increasing evidence that women were involved in martial skills more often than was previously assumed for the era, there is ...
I know this is an old topic that I'm ressurrecting here, but there are now digital Shieldmaidens so this discussion seems relevant to bring up again. The design of the STLs looks like they ar...
I personally feel like this is turning into two box ideas.. The first being a scifi or pulp line set of over-the-top punk gangers, with a very roadwarriorish "leather, athletics gear, and scrap" a...
@Brian Van De Walker So yeah, bam, there's a worst-case scenario where there's 40-50 years where guns are hard to come by. And assuming people still fight in that period (which they will, humans ar...
@Brian Van De Walker Horns, furs, leafy armor. That's really it, could probably be a digital upgrade sprue as it's not something I'm especially passionate about.
@timbus the thirteenth hmm, wouldn't a box of "witch elves" with a forest green paint scheme do the job.
@INSURGENT Skirmisher Nah, you can get plenty of milage out of any of the uniform troops, just depends on what games you play (games like sludge and Turnip28 could always use new fodder and you do ...
@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...

@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.
