Ok, just a suggestion, no need to take this seriously, but I think plastic cavalry would be a really fun thing to do for quar. They would be a pretty essential unit for Mass Battle, as they're one of the only ways really to take on tractors, plus I just think they'd be a really fun unit for people's collections. Plus, you could do it so the cadiers are a separate sprue to the riders, making it easier to make different ones for different factions. Any thoughts welcome.
28mm Quar Cavalry

i'm sure it is planned for the future. at least for the main factions. (sub-factions and minor factions will probably stay the purview of the 3D prints.) but i suspect we won't see them until the mass battle ruleset drops.
-
@pafbraed287 Hmm, I kinda of want the cadiers in big box by themselves, they would work great alien wildlife or beasts of burden for regular SciFi gaming.
-
@Mithril2098 Fair enough, I just wanted to help spread the idea, since they're really cool designs and I hope WA does them.
-
@Brian Van De Walker Yes! A critter box. You could do gwylons, fydos, pyk-pyks and maybe some of the 3d print ones too.
-
given that WGA seems to be doing its riders and horsemen as seperate sprues now in general, a riding animals box is certainly possible. though i'd imagine it'll depend on if Mr Qualtieri agrees to it.
there could actually be two boxes.. Cadiers and Gwylons. both would be useful as alien mounts in other games, if they are designed such that a normal 28mm mini's saddle/riding legs go over them.
as for a critters box.. eh maybe. not sure if the non-cavalry critters would be a big seller, they might be better left as resin/3d prints. though i could see Fydos getting included in the Fidwog command or with their specialists.
-
@Mithril2098 Now I think about it a critter box probably wouldn't sell that great, since people really only want 1 or 2 as novelties. I really do hope Fydos get plastic models though, as they are so cute, and I keep wanting to get them and being dettered by Zombiesmith shipping.
-
i think it would depend a lot on the critters, and how much a role they have in the games.
-
@Mithril2098 See, I think the thing is I believe most critters (except fydos and pyk-pyks, which are commonly used in combat) shouldn't have rules, as they probably wouldn't be in combat much, it would just add to bloat, and it'd feel like people were getting them for their rules instead of for a fun model.
-
a few of them are getting rules at least.. the Fydos are part of the fidfog army, the Sarf-cyn are part fo the normal Gloam-hynn squad, etc.
agreed though that most of the critters so far have been more setting decoration. though you never know, maybe some of them will end up being part of the partisans army or soemthing.
kinda hoping that when they do the cavalry though, we will get seperate boxes of Cadier and Gwylons. i think the gwylons especially would sell well to the VSF crowd, since if you stick some napoleonic or colonial era historical cavalry riders on them, you can make 'martian colonial cavalry' and the like.
-
I would love to be able to have a Quar farm populated by various critters, or a wood or whatever. It maybe just dressing but look at how much some people spend on scenery. I can see myself buying at least a couple of boxes of normal critters.
