@Mithril2098 yeah, I've never been too fond of "anime" armor and its many impracticalities. it's funny though, I never drew that connection! I think one of the issues is also that fantasy kn...
I've done quite a bit of toying around with the italian wars knight kits, and it's definitely the best you can get for a fantasy knight. The only issue is they're so tiny! Most of the time I'm tryi...
Wow! So it's not just the exact design I wanted, it's also the exact right size! It's kinda insane how perfect the timing is on these kits. Thanks for the pictures.
the problem is that I am an absolute nutjob for medieval and medieval-fantasy armor. so to me, it's obvious that historicals don't work! but I don't think it matters much to someone who isn't...
Once I'm done with my current set of projects, I might need to pull the trigger on that army box. damn if they aren't some gorgeous models. Btw, would someone with the kits mind giving me some mea...
Just realized that even if my sprue game gambit fails, those new egyptians are looking awfully shirtless.....
Yknow, I swear they showed up in vox populi at some point. but now that that's mysteriously vanished, I'm not really sure where they've ended up! If you're desperate I imagine it wouldn't be too ha...
Fair enough, I'm thinking of the perry agincourt miniatures where the neck is attached to the head. I seem to remember 28mm agincourt guys popping up in the sprue game, which wouldn't be my top opt...
this might require more effort than it's worth, but I wonder if, with the new standard proportions system, it could be possible to make it truly generic? like you have one sprue of "near future upg...
Fair enough, the only thing would point out is that most houndskull bascinets tend to come with integrated neck chainmail if we were to be historically accurate. It's an iconic helmet in the fantas...
these guys look really nice! i never cared too much for either the bulldogs or sneakfeet, and somehow when combined they look glorious. kitbashings a wonderful thing. also welcome to the forum, or ...
I was thinking a lot about fantasy knights recently, and what I might want out of a modular kit for them. This is definitely something that exists, but most of the kits are either very early 2000s ...
Weirdly enough, they show up on the beastmen kits as little tails. They don't look great on said beastmen, imo, but if you leave them off the poor satyrs have a giant hole in their butt.
I dunno, I always take a bit of offense at people seperating animals into "good" and "bad". I'm personally very fond of beetles, bats, and the like, even if they have negative connotations on heral...
man, I've been getting back into 80s psychedelic fantasy aesthetics recently and god damn those designs scratch an itch. I've always been really fond of the little knights from Joust, with all the ...
am i the only one who's a little more cautious about this? napoleonics have about a million excellent ranges, and i'm not really sure what wga can bring to the table. normally this wouldn't be an i...
the wait for the classic fantasy listings is killing me over here 😭
old thread but i will say i think sci fi diving suits, bioshock style, are making kind of a comeback. trench crusade has a navy faction that dresses like that, necromunda has a new oceanic styled l...
I know this is a pretty old thread, but since it's relevant I thought I'd share! This is a platoon of snowy tanks for my grognards/cannon fodder mixed army. they're a 1/35th e-100 stug model, with ...
the whole sprue game seems a little messy thus far. i'm betting that they got a little overwhelmed by the amount of submissions.
@Piisami i agree, horses look weird with dwarves. i think part of what makes dwarves fun is their practicality. every dwarf should look ready to fight, eat, and mine an ore vein at the drop of a ha...
@Yronimos Whateley yeah, as it turns out the damned heavy infantry have the exact head i'm looking for! with the scavvies as a base, i should be set. thanks for the help. generally i agree that ge...
Oh believe me, my army's being kitbashed to truly absurd levels. I made this post less to talk about what's available widely, and more just to get people's thoughts on death fields specifically, si...
sadly I don't own any raumjager arms, but I will say most of the smg isn't attached to anything. so if you wanted to extend the barrel or add a larger magazine, that wouldn't be hard at all.
@Piisami erm 🤣🤣😂 looks like cr*p they should be riding magitech motorcycles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 saga could never 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 (in all seriousness thats a great idea and I love it. I think victrix is coming out with s...
K47 was exactly was I was thinking about, turrets-wise. I actually just got a handful of ww2 tanks that I'm turning into sci fi tanks using the grognard heavy weapons sprue. They look great so far,...
Friends, romans, countrymen/women/otherwise. lend me your ears, for I am on a plane ride and have nothing better to do than yap on an esoteric wargaming forum about things few sane people care abou...
ohh, these guys look cool... hopefully with the new aliens we start to see more of the iron core universe.
I'm with brian on this one, derringers feel pretty necessary for a wild west kit (though i don't appreciate the jab at my homeland!). even if they were only for "civilians", I bet a lot of people w...
yeah, my knowledge of american colonialization wars mostly starts and ends at "it was bad", so i kinda forgot the average iroquois would be dead or on the wrong side of the continent. with regards ...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, I don't disagree. This is one of those topics that's really weird because most of the conversation around it comes from white people. If it were up to me, I'd avoid the w...
These guys look clean as hell! bit of a dumb question: what are the little square holes in the back right of every base? they look like dice holders. either way, thanks for posting these guys look ...
@Yronimos Whateley If you go a lot further south, to a more esoteric historical area, you'll find argentinian gaucho. Basically an offshoot of cowboys, but with a couple interesting quirks. Namely,...
Hell, I love magitech and I can get behind these dwarves, so long as they get some extra bits. I think in order to make tech work in fantasy, it needs to have a really strong visual identity and ae...
My main issue is that cowboys don't feel like something you'd need to buy in bulk. GEG being focused on bits and details is probably a better idea than having lots of bodies. ~20 models would be ni...
I'm MASSIVELY oversimplifying, I know its a lot more complex on both ends. Ultimately it helps me to group up different aesthetics by what I most associate them with. By a "dnd" dwarf I'm secretly ...
@Piisami Okay, so if I'm getting this right, I think the problem boils down to dnd versus lotr. dnd-style dwarves tend to have that big round cylinder helmet and plate armor, while lotr-style dwarv...
Looks pretty neat! I was thinking of picking up some azincourt and some skellies myself so I could play aos on vacation. You think it would be possible to cram a couple onto a 32mm round?
believe me i get it. im a knight fan so i've gone on several rambly rants about how sallet helmets and azincourt bascinets OBVIOUSLY have different vibes, leading to the average person looking at m...
WHY WHY WOULD YOU PUT THE IDEA OF GORILLA BODY IN MY HEAD WHY WOULD YOU TEMPT ME WITH THIS MORE PERFECT WORLD
@Piisami I think the issue here is that from my pov, there's easily five different "generic" ranges: whfb, mantic, fireforge, oathmark, and mesbg. but also, I am not a True Dwarf Enjoyer, and so I ...
I've often said that dwarves are somewhat like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. everybody knows what a pb&j is like, they're not hard to make, and you've eaten it a million times. but doesn'...
I'm gonna go against the grain here, and actually say that I think the best "generic" bodies might be ones that are really characterful rather than plain. when I think of the head bits I like and u...
@Brian Van De Walker Actually I'm new york! I need the bricks to throw at cops cops and the molotovs at cop cars lol.
god, I love bolt action for kitbashing. thanks, i'll take a look!
@Piisami don't worry, I'm a kitbasher who lives in a tiny apartment, so resin and 3d printing are kind of no-goes for me too. I will say the wga digital dwarves look a lot like the oathmark heavy a...
I will say that skeletons are almost always coming a massive horde, so if you need to kitbash them together, you're going to be spending a Very Long Time doing so. With that said, I wonder if an up...
@Mithril2098 YOU'RE RIGHT GOD IS GOOD @Yronimos Whateley I just realized there's no arms for chucking molotovs, or bricks. For my part of the country, that's a glaring ommision.
@Mithril2098 you get the vision. @Chainface yeah sorry, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. I think the issue is that skeletons specifically are supposed to lag about an era 'behind' wherever they...
