@JTam You know... That would make an interesting force of Faux Gaurd...
@Mike Henthorne Agreed. I think a release of the heavy weapons set, some pouches (those Jager left legs), and maybe some arms or a commander would be dope.
So, I'm kid of curious how everyone is organizing their units. Are you building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude formed in the traditions of your ancestors? Are you creating an unstoppab...
@Nanashi Anon We talked a bit about AK47/AKM/AK74 muzzle devices here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/84943/multiple-warsaw-pact-nations-combi-kit But I wouldn't rea...
@Grumpy Gnome Maybe he's actively shooting? Regardless adds to the rabble vibe. Or...TRAITOR vibe.....
As for the trooper with what looks like an AK... that trigger discipline, or rather lack thereof, is going to end in tears at some point.
@JTam This goes back in time a bit, so excuse me for the longer explanation. In 2001 when I went through boot camp, the Marines still did the KD course of fire followed by a "field fire" portion th...
@Mithril2098 They would indeed, stick some Soviet helmets heads on and you have the Reds, stick some WW2 German heads on and you have the Reich etc. I'm hoping for gasmask heads to round these out...
the previews look to be made from the same image just chopped. they spliced together super easy. whatever they end up being, the mix of worn out clothes and russian style weapons means they'll...
If you're looking for a view on how how mismanged Afghanistan was instead of an after action report, I think "Warrior Diplomat" was an interesting read for anecdotes since the author had the unusua...
The muzzle device on the AK looking thing is based on an AK-74 break, something only really seen in Russia, East Germany, Poland, and Romania (with a few others that are mostly sporting stuff). Guy...
Slowing down to catch up and then speed up... any slow down is going to cause some talking online. Good PR and community engagement coukd help mitigate any ensuing drama as there will certain...
What makes that a "Groucho" pose?
The SAS North Western Europe selector also lets you take Maquis squads. So you could do a cool army up with the WGA SAS/Commando and Partisans (1) box.
Sneak peak from 3 FEB 23; For reference the sneak peak from last Friday: Huh. The bracers, or giant turn backs on the sleeve look a little weird. I don't really get ...
@Mark Dewis It's probably just cavalry or cannons, that is the safe bet. plus I vaguly recall them mentioning cavalry for this.
@Mark Dewis So commonwealth is either Manga Japanese miltary in space or a Manga style generic human space force (either would be cool and I wouldn't pass up🤑) while the republic is either sc...
@Mark Dewis Just caught this, thats an interesting snippet, certainly! Gives a little more insight, and some hope that maybe Mark will want to be a little more public-facing again as the range pick...
@Lord Marcus I am not talking about plastic kits, I mean for the Digital side. Only a few months into it and we see so many variations on the plastic kits, it would just be cool to see something to...

@Alessio De Carolis and on top of that, naval uniforms FROM the 19th C through in some cases present day were very similar internationally too. You could probably cover age of sail and age of steam...
The "Groucho" pose
Or just one picture...
So, doing a comparison between the old kit and the new one, I think I've got the missing legs figured out. The set on the bottom makes the pose pictured below, and the top set is another of the "Gr...
The maori revolt bodies. The kilts with sculpted tartan lines is a godsend.
@Joe D @Caratacus took this screencap of the release schedule before the in progress section got kiboshed. Evidently it's in the "parts check" phase.
What ever happened to these bavarians that where being worked on a couple years ago ?
@Mark Dewis Thankless but essential job. Engaging may be difficult but it pays dividends. Of course you are correct in that hype is a double edged sword. Managing expectations is diffic...
@Steffen Seitter This?: https://www.facebook.com/100064760048415/posts/pfbid0J9ftUd7RNedffnz17SJcnRHHJTsypDvmoCa1DLxcnY1hqUhKdoZYJ5HnQUKK5MbAl/?app=fbl I found that really interesting.&nbs...
The whole 'Nam' saga starts towards the end of the 2nd world war. Ho Chi Min retook Hanoi from the Japs in a similar manner to Tito liberating Yugoslavia. Trouble was that Vietnam had been split i...
The new death fields with the gas masks are really nice.
@Frank Reischmann In fairness, I don't believe WGA ever gave the november date, that was an assumption on many people's part. They were teased on a newletter in Dec, but thats the most recent infor...
@JTam As I just said there's a difference btw historical and fantasy, the real problem is to sell some products more than others, naturally if all-female range sell well the better, this is the ben...
I add to this... the Stug III AG-Tank were a great idea... What's about the Valkyr?... last summer I read they should come in November... and now we have 02/2023...
@Dennis Horne Thanks I`ve been collecting a lot of "Nam " info, films from the American Defence Libery and Cinema Films. Also books, I`ve boht for We were soldiers, and also the photograper who wen...
@Mike Henthorne Valkir were the next kit in progress, as far as I am aware. The iron core releases are dictated by mark, from what I understand.
I don't see how the customers could be really interested into Articles where they show the Workplace of a Staff Member or John shows his ECW Saber Collection which is already illustrated in the P&a...
At the times when the "Trojan War" happened it is possible that the Hethite Empire was already in its Decline Phase and had no longer the capacities to help its Vassals or Allies, maybe also treate...
Mark Mondragon tried to kickstart a 3D printed tank for Iron Core that was absolutely beautiful. The kickstarters failed to meet their goals (I was immensely disappointed both times), but this seem...
They've preserved some of the bullet holes in the Hotel de Ville from the Uprising (with a plaque). Worth seeing when you're in Paris. It's near the tourist information centre, too.
@Grumpy Gnome Community Liaison is a thankless task and we are NOT an easy customer base to please. There's a good reason many miniature companies give up on engaging with us. If you check the rat...
The Paris Uprising list also allows you to take Paris Police Prefecture Squads. You could build a 5 man squad of them from the Officer bodies in the WGA French Infantry kit. (Really nicely...

That's a great haul. I've been looking at the command box myself, but what I really want in it is the Captain. Kinda wish I had someone to do halves on the box. If anyone is interested...

You can actually have a fun little game at 500 points in Bolt Action. You can also generally build a 500 point army from a single 28mm box with a bit of thought. There are some o...
