Updated the US sci-fi light infantry https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3187118144940734&set=pb.100009277404708.-2207520000..&type=3 with the latest two teaser pics.
@Mithril2098 WGA is in partnership with Mark Mondragon, which is why I expect that Iron Core takes longer to get into production than WGA's own IP once the process starts. Vehicle wise, WGA ...
My usual approach is to build 40 man (HQ 4 + 3, 12 man squads) platoons and specialist squads of twelve (snipers, recon, medics, engineers, heavy weapon teams etc). I sometimes vary this by buildin...
I'd say flamer since it has the standard underslung tube for the pilot flame, although it does look like a tri-barrel above it (for some reason). My first thought for this was that it fits right i...
@Grumpy Gnome The first book mentions the Duke's propaganda teams helping to establish that the Duke is a fair and competent ruler to the governed population. To be fair he is shown to be and compa...
@Grumpy Gnome 1st book sure the Atredies are the good guys (after all the Duke's propaganda teams tells us so), 2nd book the Atredies are the biggest mass murderers in human history (61 Billion dea...
@Geoff Maybury I say the Cannon Fodder since they are the easiest to turn into biosuited figures with a few additions (changes), although a purpose designed figure would be better. A overhanging ho...
Thinking about it, assuming there are going to be suitable modern historical sets you could do a lot with just a post apocalyptic upgrade (preferably the full size) sprue with alternative heads, ga...
Unarmed civilians made me think of operation last train and similar where the games are focused on saving civilians from aliens (or zombies, mythical creatures etc). I never made any connection to ...
Assuming we are talking post cold war to near future..... Everything! Seriously though, we are totally starved of anything modern/near future. The closest we come at the minute for near futu...
I'm waiting on the Valkir, i've 200 stormtroopers waiting to support them. The question remains what will their final form be, the heavy troopers, the assault troopers, the support troopers or a mi...
GCPS with the marine helmet are pretty good mid tech marines, I've been combining some of the bodies with cannon fodder heads and arms for militia types.
There was Wargames Atlantic's teased US sci-fi light infantry..... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2836687949983757&set=pb.100009277404708.-2207520000..&type=3 Its been a while th...
@Hudson Adams I'd prefer something like the Frostgrave magicians sprue, still a useful number of bodies, but a shed load of heads, arms and customation bits. However a small sprue with one body and...
The Panzerjagers are something of a missed opportunity since the don't have the assault rifle/gl shown in the art work. I'd have taken the opportunity to give more of a variant to the Stormtroopers...
I've previously described the Stargrave miniatures as background Star Wars extras....they look like they would fit in the background of the original movie on Tatooine.
I picked up the starter set and bought roughly 120 Algoryns and 120 freeborn during the earlier sprue sales where the savings were so much greater than the later ones. For me Warlord mismanag...
@Grumpy Gnome The new version of power armour in Fallout 4 was one of the ways they improved on previous games. I completed the base game and some of the DLC a while ago, I've still got to go back ...
On exoskeletons, I like Fallout 4's version of the power armour frame being an exoskeleton that the user operates rather than wears. In effect its a light vehicle rather than a suit.
I'd suggest picking up a copy (or just watching the cut scenes on youtube) of Call of Duty Infinite Warfare. Its got some good stuff such as combat robots and some poor such as space carriers (w...
Ground Zero Games, specifically their 25mm Tuffleyverse factions, up date them to 28mm sculpts of course so they can mix with other ranges. They have been largely forgotten with the 15mm versions g...
My only complaint with the Eisenkerns, was that they didn't use the opportunity to change the weapon loadout more in the Panzerjagers. Submachine guns without grenade launchers, assault rifles with...
I love them since they are pretty much better star wars storm troopers/clone troopers, very easy to swap out the 'space nazi' heads and weapons if thats a problem but I've never really seen them th...
The GCPS sprue is very useful, since it gives you enough arms/weapons to equip them as Marines (open helmet) or Rangers (enclosed helmet, heavier rifle and jet pack). You also get a flamer and gren...
Looking forward to these, so much so that I picked up three more boxes of the males, since I already used my first two with stargrave parts as armed spaceport workers. Probably going to use these w...
I've always liked the video game COD Infinite Warfare take on utility vehicles, bare bones and designed to be as portable as possible for marine landings... https://www.artstation.com/artwor...
@Yronimos Whateley I do like some of the 'hound' designs for armoured cars...Staghound, Wolfhound & Boarhound.
I'm an ex Space Wolf player, so aside from LOTR my image of what Wolf Cavalry look like is on the space viking side......now I'm thinking of the possibilities of Eisenkern Wolf Cavalry (legs are al...
@Brian Van De Walker Yeah, the Modern Set will be in the historical scale rather than death field 'heroic'.
This was uploaded to the Legion Facebook group in 2020.
@Yronimos Whateley The US sci-fi light Infantry email teasers have been out for a while (also been confirmed to be death fields), the last teaser was I believe in February 2021 (First was in Oct 20...
@Estoc Not really, currently they are working through getting the original Eisenkern's back into production. New sculpts and new sprue layouts, no mention has been made of the support weapon set, ...
@Yronimos Whateley WA have said they are only doing Iron Core infantry sets (resculpts and different sprues to the originals), however they have also said they aren't planning to do any vehicles bu...
@Geoff Maybury They are WA (mainly from their weekly email) official teasers put together. All the teasers pics I've posted have been of official WA teasers, I'm just not part of WA in anyway...
The US sci-fi light infantry picture above is just all the teaser pics (and other pics posted by Wargames Atlantic in comments on Facebook) from Wargames Atlantic put together, I've been posting th...
@JTam Yeah, the Valkir are already in the pipeline and last I heard there were future plans for other sets. Certainly never seen anything suggesting the Iron Core range has stopped production.
@Travis Johnson The Exosuits? The first one is from the Endure the Stars boardgame, pretty cheap on Ebay if you buy the earlier edition of the game with lots of cyborg alien creatures. Th...
I think a problem with suggesting anything for the Raumjagers, is the Eisenkern's might already be filling that role...such as the (coming) Valkir heavy troopers or any weapon based of the MG42 (wh...
@Travis Johnson I'd definitely be interested in an hard plastic exo-suit design, armoured or unarmoured. I've actually got a couple from the endure the stars boardgame and some from the Sediti...
If we are talking anti tank rifles, I remember suggesting this a while ago on facebook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solothurn_S-18/100 Pretty much good to go and with a few cosmetic changes if ...
Well for starters how about something based on the Leichtgescutz recoilless rifles, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.5_cm_Leichtgesch%C3%BCtz_40#/media/File:German_7.5cm_recoilless_gun2.jpg htt...
@david phillips Raumjager's are the Germans based on WW2 fallschirmjager.
Well I assume its the holy trinity of anti tank (lascannon, missile launcher etc), anti infantry (machine gun etc and poor man's artillery (mortars).....time to troll through WW2 German especially ...
@Brian Van De Walker I just assume they will be similarly scaled down slightly since they other two Eisenkerns were when resculpted, whether they need to be is another question. I should have...
@Hudson Adams Reminds me of the old Playstation game Ring of Red, all of the mechs were based on WW2 tanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Red
I like the Char turned into an IFV idea....I'd probably use the Meng toon tank as a starting point since I don't have access to a printer and the scale is pretty close.
I'd also like to see the Sci-fi US light infantry https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2836687949983757&set=pb.100009277404708.-2207520000..&type=3 for bug hunts......also bugs😁. &nb...
@Judge Doug Good generic sci-fi scouts, which might also make good alternatives for a famous IG Regiment.
I'd assume that the Valkir are going to match in scale with the rest of the Eisenkern, so slight reduction. As to them being new GW posterboy size. They aren't super human mutants so no real reaso...
