@Brian Van De Walker I've an old 1/60 Patlabor's Helldiver, and it fit well with std 28mm minis, its cockpit could seem a bit tight, but generally these pilots seems always being a bit on the short...

@Yronimos Whateley This particular Zaku Warrior seems more in scale with 28mm minis, its torax could easily allow an human pilot in, so it isn't out of place near these scale's figures. Others Mech...
I just saw this campaign : https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/green-ronin-publishing/the-expanse-roleplaying-game-transport-union-edition I don't plat RPGs, but the minis seems very good, I thi...
Either Pig Iron and Anvil Industry had made some "robotic" heads, that could fit well Stargrave's or Cannon Fodder's bodies, just to simulate some cyborg infantry.
@Big Boi GW made some transfers for their Bretonnians, plus shouldn't be difficult find some ones from after market producers, f.e. there's Gripping Beasts https://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/Transfer...
There's this tutorial on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXkBO_Ur3Y&pp=ygUdaG93IGkgcGFpbnQgdGhpbmdzIHRoZSBkYW1uZWQ%3D
Look at this video: https://youtu.be/C3a0eksnzAM?si=GkQ2oa7hLu7yiZ5c Some of the bulkier models could pass for "Landmate" style mechs
On Internet you can find various paper models, not as good as plastic, but there are various options, such as AFVs & IFVs, with a bit of patience and some greeblies, they could be a decent (&am...
@Red Bee Replacing the heads it would be a perfect HW team for Imperials
@Brian Van De Walker The Far Eastern's mythologies are so big and various that alone could cover a whole range, if you look only at, f.e., Philipphines' ones there are so many creatures that Norse ...
Great, but how does you can avoid becoming the latest snack of your mount?
Scout/Front(wo)man This is a conversion from Cannon Fodder 2: I used head, body & a backpack from the sprue, plus Ohra's arms, cut & modified and an holster. The body was modified with put...
As I said in another post, Dark Elves would be welcome, a separate sprue for witches and warriors, generally Drows are a matriarchal society, so there will be a certain prevalence of female b...
I just bought some sprues from them: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/nannyogg999?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l2563 and the service was very good.
@Thomas Kelley The helmets were a sort of psychological instruments to strike fear in the Goauds' subordinates, weren't meant as a real protection, also if, at least in the first clashes with human...
Very impressive, now with 3D printers it's possible to realize everything.
@Yronimos Whateley About japanese's PAs, there are some on Papsikels, such as this https://tabletopxtra.com/collections/all/products/cyber-babe-ryza-strike-mode-cyberpunk-sci-fi-miniature-papsikel...
The ancients from At The Mountain Of Madness could be a good inspiration for REALLY menacing aliens, no humanoid form, really different from other known beings, different mindsets, pratically an en...
These hardsuits have a lot of possibilities, a plastic boxed set would be great, also bcz a lot of people don't have access to a 3D printer, and shipping costs from US are very prohibitive. These m...
Sorry for dissent, but there are a lot of other producers that make from good to excellent dwarwes' minis, either in plastic and metal/resin. I think that WGA should focus more on lesser made subje...
@Brian Van De Walker Some (or most) of these weapons seems more dangerous for the users than for enemies....
@Dennis Horne Effectively US Army bought a lot of french chasseurs' uniforms, early in the war, but must were too tight for the standard size of US soldier. Pratically most US' citizens were bigger...
For early yrs after ACW, Perry's US Cavalry should be good, remember that the US Army, after the war, was not only downsized, but also (criminally) neglected and under funded. So the army had to re...
Well done, given that, after all, most WWI's helmets were inspired by medieval ones. Their look has an old "Flash Gordon" feeling, I remember that odd mix of ancient & modern that had the origi...
@Lord Marcus I bought from the Sprueshop, and their service is very good & fast, only problem is that , with that idiotic Brexit, the customs' tariffs in Italy have skyrocketed, don't know how ...
I found another one, with a larger selectionThose with a sort of skin tight dress could pass also for female atzec warriors, with a bit of GS for the heads
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy And they discarded the puttees, contrary to the italians, that, for financial problems, replaced only the UPPER part of the uniform, and were stuck with the old pants & putt...
@Vitor Correia Expecially East Asians, either as human foes and supernatural ones, given how big is their Pantheon.
@Erstwhile Well, the one on the right could be a decent expy for a Kzinti, just add some body armour with GS, and close the holes in its dress with putty.
@Geoff Maybury Sadly you're right, GW's high prices aren't ideal to catch new "acolytes" to our hobby, if the'd this prices when I first start to buy them (late '80s), probabilly I wouldn't never b...
I think that the best mix would be Ooh Ra's bodies, Stargrave's arms (perfect to simulate an armoured arm) and Pig Iron's heads, so we could build a good hard sci-fi troop.
@Andreas Mayrhofer The Ooh Rha's bodies are perfect with Stargrave's arms & weapons, I hope that WGA will make an HW section, just to give'm an heavier punch. You could add some shoulders &...
It seems that you got a great conversions' ideas, all these ones are great, now perhaps you should try some regulars/security forces to deal with these pirates. Expecially the Tau's helmets are imp...
@Charles Tottington There's a LOT of choices https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/10/16173596/science-fiction-power-armor-exoskeletons-iron-man-expanse-starship-troopers-halo-list naturally we had to...
@Charles Tottington There are also Pig Iron heads (LOT of enclosed helmets!) https://www.pig-iron-productions.com/product-category/heads/
@antonio_tarruell Such as these from Empress minis? https://www.empressminiatures.com/dbp23-vietminh-heads-303-p.asp
@Drangir It's way easier doing normal, undamaged shields/weapons' mounts, so you can add the necessary damage to them. So everyone could add holes/wreck them without seeming too uniform. Plus the h...
@Drangir There's also this site : https://thesprueshop.co.uk/
@JTam About strange IDF tanks https://youtu.be/-BbQd_MGzCA
I voted for expansion sets, such as a weapons' one for the OhRra, plus trench and conquistadores zombies.
@Drangir Also in the future weapons will be similar in shape to ours. After all they'd to conform to humans' anathomy, and logically either pistols AND rifles have some rules to follow, don't think...
The helmets are very beautiful, did you 3D printed them? On YouTube there are a lot of tutorials about painting camuflage's schemes on infantry.
@Chris R Effectively the M1 was. 'til the '80s, one of the most widespread military item in the world, not only in its metal. original form, I saw iraquis soldiers with ballistic plastic hemets fro...
@William Hallam Well, they could be useful as: Scouts, characters on horseback or officers. Naturally I'm a collector/modeler, not a gamer, so it is a matter of personal tastes.
Now there is also a (little) painting guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXkBO_Ur3Y plus look to these Krieg's enemies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmv9YA2pS-g
Astounding jobs! About the garlic, I imagine these ones could repel an army of "old style" vampires in The Silver Bayonet! 😜
Excellente job, can I suggest Pig Iron's heads for more variety, some are well suited for a paramilitary enforcers' group.
@JTam interesting minis, all we need now it's a "bubble" helmet, as seen on Bombshell's sci-fi figures.
A praise for your awesome work (and patience), I remember when on the old WD magazine there were some paper houses' plans for WH, but naturally these ones are REALLY different👍
@Kein Fisher beautiful minis, you should add some characters to the group, such as a not-Tanya the Evil or an Emily Blunt -like as in Edge Of Tomorrow.👍
