hey, WGA's making the eight thousandth french napoleonic set in the industry, so who knows? i would definitely prefer ww1 americans first, though.
I can't say I personally would buy it, but I don't think it's in any way a bad idea. skaven are QUITE popular, and I literally just had a conversation with a friend who wished ikkit claw was in 40k...
@Battle Specter "smart" bugs should be on the way, in the form of the bug guys from 2400 AD. at least i hope that's still happening, because the release schedule is gone, but whatever.
i mean, you can use a LOT of kits if you're brave enough. the truth is often stranger than fiction!
@Allan Lougheed honestly, ever since the epstein files came out, it's pretty damn obvious this whole country is a corrupt shitshow being run by pedos and nazis. good on you for keeping your no...
if i can add something to the death fields suggestion: what if they weren't an official team at all? after all, death fields have been around since forever, right? surely there's been a couple esca...
@Battle Specter warlord's winter american infantry are FANTASTIC for any kind of greatcoat needs, imo.
not to be too negative, but honestly WGA is just really clogged up right now, I think. first there was the tariffs, then the damned campaign (which they've basically outright said was a nightmare),...
@Brian Van De Walker A solid six months of scrapping, looting, and rioting? Awesome! Sounds like a great start for a setting. Also, you've ignored the fact that gangs, nomads, etc that don't use gu...
@Brian Van De Walker Ah shit you're right, my space elves that fight kidnapped napoleonic soldiers in a gladiatorial immortality arena in space might just start to be unrealistic. Can't have t...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher very nicely written, I agree! what I will say is that WGA likes to make kits for a pretty broad audience, so the bulk of the kit might be standard aks, shotguns, etc. But ther...
@Wiglaf yeah, even though I tend to find cops pretty boring, a SWAT kit would fulfill most of my requests for close-quarters. the nvgs and gun customization bits would be especially cool, plus you ...
@Piisami ever seen the belgian vickers utility tractor? gives me those vibes lol. magnificent.
@Percival i believe WGA has their own orc kit currently in the works, so I doubt this would work out, sorry. they are quite nice looking though!
@Seventyone hell, my minis from 2017, 2018 look teeny next to new ones 🤣 I think there was a big scale shift in around 2018-2020. cool minis btw
@Brian Van De Walker So yeah, bam, there's a worst-case scenario where there's 40-50 years where guns are hard to come by. And assuming people still fight in that period (which they will, humans ar...
@Brian Van De Walker Horns, furs, leafy armor. That's really it, could probably be a digital upgrade sprue as it's not something I'm especially passionate about.
@Mithril2098 Hey, I joined this forum on a quest for shirtless, muscular barbarians. I don't judge.
I hope if we do get elves, they lean more into the weirdo faerie look. I've always been fond of Pathfinder's Wild Hunt, maybe something like that? Either way I'm sick of cone hats. Please no more c...
@Brian Van De Walker I think he's talking about a "humanity has been nuked back to the stone age" type scenario, not so much "minor conflicts". In which case yes, I imagine it would probably be eas...
@Piisami Damn they turned out great! I might steal the idea to spruce up some of my leftover einherjar. The heavy infantry arms look awesome, too. Any plans for vehicles?
@Mithril2098 ....godspeed on this strange, noble quest. May the gods smile upon you.
Sadly I don't have any pictures on me right now, but the arms should fit okay-ish. Einharjar have noticably bulky arms, so you might need to pick either the bulky arms or the skinny ones and stick ...
Yeah, I'd mixed up these guys with the shadowkesh. The rest of the Iron Core universe looks really sick from what I've seen, I'm hoping we get to see stuff outside of the basic empire soon. Also, I...
Are these the iron core alien warriors? I can't say I find them nearly as interesting or unique as the rest of iron core, but I could see them being used as tau for warhammer. could also abso...
@Charles Tottington The way I like put it is that I love warhammer, dearly. So I want their models to be affordable and good, which currently they are neither. Competition breeds improvement. WGA, ...
@INSURGENT Skirmisher this might sound odd, but I wonder if trench crusade might open up some options? obviously wga only has one """""compatible"""" kit, but a raggedy horde of slightly mutant wei...
@Doshu Tokeshi I just took a look and yeah, those are some really nice models. I'm hoping as the wga fantasy line develops, they start to include some of that 80s-90s metal sculpt grime, cause it's...
@Yronimos Whateley simply because you mentioned death knights, I'd like to point out the new cultist knights from frostgrave. they've got right kind of chainmaily aesthetic tha I bet would match ni...
An update to the death fields alien scene: a digital kit just released that's elves in space!! AND THEY LOOK GREAT!!!!!! seriously, I hope these guys make the transition to plastic eventua...
Honestly, with games like blood and plunder:raise the black, I wonder if navy models might be useful? That game takes place during the golden age of piracy, but I'd love to enact some daring privat...
@Lord Marcus Ah well, that's a shame. Would you ever consider making a seperate wiki-styled webpage? Certain game systems like mordheim or warhammer have seperate wikis made by fans, and it's quite...
I was playing the new resident evil game and it has some pretty good fuel for operator upgrade ideas. definitely made me want to try making my own set of umbrella mercs! the umbrella corp helmets a...
@Mithril2098 this might sound like a nitpick but i really hope they move to a nice clean pdf download link instead of a store page. nothings more discouraging for me than having to input credit car...
@Yronimos Whateley In all honesty it's not something I ever cared much about either... but lots of games like kill team use standardized terrain because a big company can make molds easily. a small...
These guys look great! I love a good checkered paint scheme.
@Brian Van De Walker the big thing isn't the actual models, it's standardization. it gets a lot easier to sell people on a siege battle if you can know the exact size of the ladders, walls, etc, at...
@Mithril2098 drives me nuts how damn cool the rebel yell are, cause Im proud a yank as it gets. ah well, maybe mine can be a southern regiment from ww2 or something.
@Mithril2098 giant mutant lizard cavalry. source: it came to me in a dream.
@Brian Van De Walker oh believe me, I've gone on enough rambling rants on these forums about how I would like my fantasy humans to stay fully fantasy. overall I think the dark ages are wildly overs...
@Yronimos Whateley I imagine the turned up collar and face covering is more of a fantasy thing, but it wouldn't be hard to chuck onto a sprue. @Mithril2098 I've had great success in my ...
@Yronimos Whateley one possible upside of this kit is making it easier for smaller games to standardize siege equipment. for example, turnip28 has a new siege mode that relies on kitbashed terrain....
I love victrix dearly, but their quality can be...weird. Especially given how gorgeous their barons war minis are (sorry wga), their older stuff can kinda suck ass. Even now, it's crazy how they ca...
If you wanted to spin it as a sci-fi kit, I think the best way would be to give it a couple steampunk bits. That way you can have stuff like robot arms, clockwork monocles, and space lasers without...
@Brian Van De Walker Well yes, when I refer to the average horde army player's caveman brain, I am referring mostly to myself. GOD I love human wave tactics
Yeah, on second thought, it's not like horses don't need special arms and bodies to work with riders either. The current grognards cavalry set doesn't have any physical reins, either, so it wouldn'...
@Brian Van De Walker Gates of Antares by Warlord has these guys, which have a sorta biomechanical vibe. Maybe full mechsuits wouldn't be possible, but weird combinations of harvester organisms and ...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, people have done it with mixed models, and it usually sucks and is unfun when its actually on the board. It's more a matter of just how much it appeals to the average hor...
@Brian Van De Walker The main thing that I think makes the palmyrenes look so fantasy-y is probably a mix of two things. First of all, they're from a kinda esoteric period, so you don't look at the...
@Chaos stu painting Not sure if you're in the horus heresy community, but there's a way to make a list in that game with over 1000 conscript bodies! It's a bit of white whale in the community, just...
