@Big Boi If you want a Late Ancients/Early Dark Ages ruleset that doesn't need any tweaking straight out of the box, the main three have already been covered - Saga: Age of Invasions, Dux Britannia...

I think the Ukraine conflict has shown how drone technology is already impacting the use of tanks on the modern battlefield. To me it seems more likely we'll see bigger (and smaller!) armed drones,...
To be fair, female re-enactors are generally required to appear as 'man-like' as possible for most historical groups when portraying only-male troops. The aim is for them to blend in so as not to p...
Says it under the description on every set's page on the website, along with the box artist.
@Geoff Maybury I'm not totally up on the Sheridans missile system, but I really like the concept of using a tank main gun to send missiles down range. Seems like a pretty solid idea long term. I me...
Look around for some reenactors. You cannot fully trust paintings in regard to how a uniform hangs. I'm not seeing much distinction between the two pants shown here.
@Andreas Mayrhofer That actually looks really good! The gators and the two button cuffs look suitably archaic and tie in with the head well.
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Agreed. I've served in uniform for over two decades... And you can generally tell a male from female Soldier at a glance at up to 100 meters. The rende...
Hi, Anaia... We can consider that the military dress of the time is not necessarily very fitted (which is often wrong : tailors were very skilled)... even if we distinguish easily, on the photos o...
I just glued the first Mini together. I really Dog the Look. The Grognard heads fit the new cadians really well Lets do the rest
"Wings" for General Accoutrements: Jetpacks and wings.
The US Army Air Force provided pilots to serve as Forward Air Controllers with ground formation and direct close air support. Would make a unique mini. I'm sure some of them would have ...
Alternatively one could do Paras. Spoilt for choice here. But perhaps Italian Paras to compliment the WGA plastic Italian Infantry. Plus the "Samurai Vests" are baller. Additionally th...
"Wings" for WW2: Perhaps British Glider Pilots? This probably most famous picture from Arnhem is supposedly British Glider Pilots. British Glider Pilots were given some Infantry tr...
One of my problems with the Osprey games is that there's never enough fluff. Both Broken Legions and Silver Bayonet are great settings/ideas. But the setting is not fleshed out a...
@Andreas Mayrhofer Mostly fixed stock rifles then. I like the new Cadians proportions and look... Minus the knee pads. But that's pretty minor/just me.
"Wings" for WW1... Downed pilot. Makes a great objective. Got to rescue/capture the pilot out of no man's land. Posed a bit like this WW2 downed pilot mini perhaps: ...
Bouncing back to the Renaissance. For "Wings" possibly not-Birdmen of Catrazza.
@JTam the sprues arrived
It seems that the pre-WWII period ('til the mid '30s) is the last one when umanity is at the stakes of supernatural, after, with our technological development, the chances have been reversed, as sh...
A really good book with some of the flavor of this is: WW1ish time frame. A wall keeping the wild magics and other things out. Soldiers wear bits of armor and silver items for when the win...
Wings: For Imperial Conquests I was thinking an entire balloon. I have an issue of Wargames Illustrated with rules for an observation balloon "floating" around somewhere. I will try...
@Mark Dewis Ah, I was saving the Eagle capture vignette for the theme colors: Good idea for the General Accoutrements.
Sigh. Let's try it this way: Can you tell these are female minis? If not, the mission is not accomplished.
@Battle Specter Eileen and myself loved it, no problom to build but with out amini missile might lose the laughter content in mini.
@Paul Mitting Like the Sherridans Shelailie Missile system?
@Benjamin Hayward You are most welcome my friend. Got an idea this ones gonna hit the spot bang on.
@Mark Dewis Described as muti size squad, platoon, Foot, Cavalry, Vehicles and Monsters. Out August really hits those tast bud eh Mark .I get another game for my Honerable Leads Animals, and fantas...
Also, can we get an Afghan warrior holding an AT-4 backwards, please? The above GIF is proof it happened...
@Alessio De Carolis Even lasers recoil. And a rail gun- even though it isn't using an explosive charge to throw the projectile- will still have to overcome the inertia of the slug of whatever is be...
Dang, this is right up my alley! Mike Mignola's Baltimore is one of my favorite comics, and I've been itching for a game set in "Weird War I" with trench-fighters vs. monsters, ghosts, and st...
@Paul Mitting They're hard to beat in many respects. There is no need to focus them over range, without an atmo to slow them down, they have theoretically limitless range, depending on the projecti...
I like wings as an idea. General Accoutrements could have just accessory wings - Bat Wings, Bird Wings and maybe butterfly ones. Any air force types would count. WW1 and WW2 aviators; Balloon corp...
"Wings" theme for the Renaissance. Hungarian Hussars with winged shields: Or perhaps Polish Winged Hussars:
Or "Opera" Vikings: Or a "Blood Eagle" vignette. I think it would be poor taste, but we already have a guillotine and Aztec human sacrifice vignette so there's precedent.
@Battle Specter Exactly! Long live Kinetic Kill weapons!
Ehhh.... they appear to have wider hips and narrower shoulders than the male sculpts to me. Silicone boobs are far in the future.
Do we know what size skirmish it's intended for? That can vary from a handful of figures a side to a several dozen. I agree this looks very good, and a total windfall for WGA!
Nice. Pretty dang cool. My only nitpick is that I wish they were a little more obviously women. Women have hips and other curves. Should be very obvious, particularly in the skin ...
@William Redford "Oh What a Lovely War" Wow what a magnifficant army. Thats going to be an amazing force on the table I love them Bill.
The fantastic WW1 figures of WA, allow a lot of conversion possibillities for this game, and with the forth comming British Infantry that set will give a new perspection to War Gaming. The game I t...
Asecond map of influance
Here is afigure conversion all ready being made for the game.
This is the area of the Dogger Land
Soon a new game will arrive from Ossprey Games that will greatly play to the strenghts of Wargame Atlantic and plastic figures. Called "A War Transformed" a First World War extravagandar of deligh...
@Mark Dewis I think what was meant by "millisecond delivery" was that the projectile carries all of its energy with it and imparts it at one time via kinetic energy whereas a laser has to impart it...
Mark has accessory sets on Ebay.
@Mithril2098 Yeah I've realized that this post would be better done in moddeling. My bad.
