@Hudson Adams The forum notification doesn't seem to work on this Vox Populi sub forum, I didn't get a notification of Drangir's post above. I'm also still seeing those 3 ghost notifications I rep...
@Drangir All of the crew have separate arms/heads in that damned set, here they are shown as being fixed. Dunno if that is just a simplified WIP render or the final layout intention. The separate a...
Are the heavy weapons the same scale as the Damned or downsized to be compatible with the dwarves? There is aleady a radio pack available on the normal sprue - add a 'medic' or generic pack in its...
I too have been anticipating these for the 4 years or so since they were mooted, Adopting the upper/lower torso schema of the Rifles box. Two Grenadarios heads, separate rear of bareskins Can'...
@Alessio De Carolis The US plains Cavalry idea would be an addition to those ~20 year old Perry US Cav plastics. If sculpted with the dishevelled look of the above prints, the two would would comp...
@Travis Gibson AFAIK no one does plastic plains Indians. (Once apon a time, in a previous millenia, Airfix did 20mm ones [1] - a lot of which ended up being converted to Ancient Brit or Hyborean&nb...
@Alessio De Carolis Wargames Emporium in the UK also do sprues https://www.wargamesemporium.co.uk/search?type=product&q=sprue . Brexit was not the cause of idiotic Brussels imposed customs ta...
@Lord Marcus The issue is still happening. I get 3 phantom notifications on this thread from that 'undefined' user. They don't clear when I access this thread. Be a shame to have to delete the thr...
@Bill Thomas I've mixed the non Olaf torsos with some Stargrave Crew and a few CF 1 torsos to create a formidable Xenos Rampant OPFOR detatchment. The made up Olaf torso has been mixed in with some...
@Troy Cook Non European troops - nice. Do a 2nd run, re arm them with Rensissance torsos & weaponry rather than Bulldog and you have a crew for use with the Frostgrave Ghost Archipeligo rules ...
Cheers. It is still there- here's a screenshot of the notifications box for your people : Methinks someone tried to register & comment but didn't fully get through, leaving a broken user re...
@Lord Marcus I'm getting notifications of an 'undefined' user commenting on this thread, 3 times 2 days ago. They don't show up on this thread so won't clear. Looks like something got chewed up, ca...
WA were not the only manufacturer doing a crowd funded plastic launch this year. Northstar launched their Stargrave Scavenger box -mine turned up today. This is the 1st shot of a sprue made up wit...
Here is a mixed squad based around a box of Oh Rah showing the mixes I managed. Far left and far right use Stargrave Merc 2 female torsos with Oh Rah heads and arms. The Knife Wielder with...
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy I read somewhere that the Damned were being distributed via a route involving the ROI (who are still in the EU). There was so much hype around those figures that I can't remembe...
@Charles Tottington As you correctly stated, none of those offerings look like reaching a 1000 votes in the forseeable future. Unless the threshold is dropped to say 300 votes, I doubt any will ha...
@Hudson Adams As they have not been tooled and need a layout rework, here are 2 suggestions: split them into 2 frames, heads & torsos (as was done on the Grognard command box), slip in a 'ha...
@Hudson Adams Has anything ever been released via the Vox Populi route ? Somewhere else it was written that WA has the ability to release about a new dozen plastic boxes per year. Given the ...
@Estoc It's all rather subjective. 28mm 'heroic' scale ( 30-32mm ) is notorious for variations in scale, both in height and width. Heads, weapons etc may also be exagerated from 'true' form factor...
IDF? Captured gear ? A lot of 40's/50's/60's's era found its way to Cairo, Jordan & and Damacus in the late C20's. Still think it's closer to that Hussar, the BTRxxx series had way too much ...
@Drangir I typically base up the minis apply any base texture needed to cover up blob bases etc then undercoat with a generic undercoat spray (I normally use Wilko's - A UK based hardware store). Y...
There is no 'official lore', neither any mandatory lexicons, paint schemes nor stats cards. Other expensive, scale insensitive, bloated manufacturers are out there for those things. ;) Those 'new ...
The basic paint scheme is a spray can of Humbrol Grass green later touch ups with a pot of the same colour paint. The army was based on a 3 box WA deal meaning over 60 figures to paint. ( 15 box ba...
@Charles Tottington There are other heads out there, including stuff from a scale insenstitve, highly litagative source that must never be mentioned by name. But Beware! Until you get plastic on ...
@Drangir I just can't do pan shots properly :(. The best I can do with my cheap camera, mind you, my non-professional paint jobs wouldn't like higher detail ,). All of this is just to show w...

Heres a 24pt XR force on an away mission .... The last time I tried this shot, the sand cammo on the bases was too good! You couldn't make the figures out vs the game mat. This time they are arr...

Do-able already, Kitbash some Weapons expansion pack laser guns onto Perry Americans; the hats are already there. Add some Kings Mountain heads onto Cannon Fodder torsos and weapons and your off.&n...
@Drangir cannon-fodder-civilian-parts - you can get them in resin over there. I would strongly advise not to do so based on my (and others) experiences. You are better off getting a Stargrave Cre...
That is the limit of my photographic skillset :(. It also exposes that those girls are still WIP paintwise, no base no varnish. I don't normally go further - they are fit for the table as is. The...
It's mixing Grongnard Torsos in wiith a group of CF1/2 torso figures where the scale difference shows up. I fully appreciate that '28mm' can go from anything from true 28mm to 35mm++ depending on ...
@Drangir I didn't realise you were out of the UK. I think both the Sprue Shop and Emporium also sell via Etsy which gets around the EU-UK postal issues. Those silenced pistols I was referring to ...
They are a cohesive force ;) 5 girl elite XR squad or individual Stargrave pathfinders ? There is another bereted Stargrave head somewhere in the spares collection, I have one CFII torso held back...
@Drangir I've used the Warlord Concord troopers as part of a multbox mash up. I got box of them along with a box of Stargrave troopers. The Stargrave trooper torsos were mixed with WA Canno...
Difficult to recommend bits without physically seeing their use. However these https://store.warlordgames.com/products/concord-strike-squad-support-drones have slender arms & alien apperance. M...
@JTam Nope, I have no printing capacity. I am refering to plastic Cannon Fodder (1 and 2) vs plastic Grognards (line and command sprues) and the Atlantic Digital printed Civilians that came with t...
@Drangir I actually have a WA Lizard Army, a 3 WA box deal of them. I built for OPFOR use against my Colonial Militia. The beast in the middle is a clockwork TRex I got from this lot : mAr...
@JTam - here are those heads from Statuesque Minis mounted on CF torsos along with 2 Stargrave heads as a bonus. Initial rush paint job, will need washes, base work etc later. L-R C...
I don't follow social media myself ;). I bought a set of those WA Digital civilians as part of that infamous order which took 6 months to resolve, the kit was a mix of extra arms parts and a few C...
@Drangir Compatibility with Cannon Fodder or Grognard ? There are 2 incompatible scales in the Death Fields range. The Cannon Fodder Civilians came out as Grognard size.
But what physical scale will they appear as? I fear that all of this Damned hype will turn up as being slightly larger than the Grognards which were originally done by the same scupltor (as were t...
The vehicles I originally posted utterly lack mine/IED protection. Makes'em all children of the late 20th Century. They seem to share dubious off road capability, needing a serious heavy airlift c...
@Brian Van De Walker will these deal with your deoderant spray/beer can issues?
@Drangir The re-use of all those surplus Plasma Cannon, Flamers and Grenade Launchers via a generic RWS (Remote Weapon Station) was why I suggested it above. Their competitors already offer ...
I'm leaning towards using Xenos Rampant as the basic ruleset. Simple, large skirmish scale, fast play mechanism ~20-50 troops. Stargrunt has lots of complexity and a cumbersome multi dice play syst...
Take a look at a top down shot of an M113/FV432 to see how the roof was configured on those 2 Vehicles, provide an M113 style large circular roof hatch open or closed with an option to replace it w...
Hmm, those extra turrets will find their way into many a scratch built vehicle for use with Games System that must not be spoken of. Perhaps adding a generic support ring to allow any of the Damne...
