@JTam It might actually be in this case, I get the feeling we are looking a broken/salvaged cargo container loot site.
Well, I might pick some sprues up to play with if I find them interesting, but when it comes to SYW conflicts I would rather see East Indian Front (which would also be great Silver Bayonet setting)...
@William Redford I was referring to Fireforge's older Deus Vault men at arms set which is probably the better set to use as model for fantasy sets (northmen didn't come around till will after Nort...
Sort of, I go through the sign up "prove your not a bot" test, then it says there is something wrong with my account, but if I ignore that and just click the sign in again everything is just peachy...
@JTam God I hope not🤣, I still feel that adding the pike sprue was mistake instead of just selling it separate and adding another sprue of bodies to the main kit, though you do have point about it ...
@Frank Reischmann Actually I have seen Felines in a lot of TTRPG games (Traveler, D&D, BESM,etc.) and you can pretty much play them as beast men in genric fantasy war games. @Geoff Maybury To...
@William Redford Nah, you can use the Frostgrave soldiers for unit building, its just that it would likely either be all "swordsmen" without sheilds (ie single hand weapon users) or as miltia if yo...
@Caratacus You positive on that? cause almost every time I think Warlord actually did their own sculpting on something it turns out it was someone else sculpts early and Warlord got the molding ri...
@JTam Could also do them as another "fantasy with DF parts kits". There have been quite few people asking cat themed fantasy beastmen.
@William Redford Not really a deal breaker for me, but if it was like the French infantry set (35 bodies on 5 sprues with 6 normal and one officer for a total 7 bodies per sprue) would actually be ...
@Stephen Rodgers If we are just talking boxart why not either both or a combination of blue and orange alongside a picture with a wide range of fantasy skin colors. @William Ings That would probab...
Sure I have a pic of both Perry's a Africa Corps and a WA Partisain next to a 1/56 plastic tank Warlord sells: Them next to a kitbash tank/tankette (Warlord's plastic Universal carrier is the ba...
@Mark Dewis true, but that was already happing back then, even before WGF let Warlord have the distrubtion rights for thier minis (Frostgrave already had thier plastic foot soldiers out). And...
@Steffen Seitter If I am not mistaken the Tsu (or Sui) state rebellion they are referring to was either the Wagang rebellion or one of the others which happened around 611-613 CE/AD in China. The ...
@Mark Dewis As someone else who was on those forums all the time before things died, I don't really remember them ever showing renders for the modern troopers but I will take your word on that (th...
@Mark Dewis Actually given they where always on the 40% off side of the "black Friday sale" on the old WGF store and were kind of a pain to build, I get the feeling the civilians didn't actually do...
@Viking Cowboy actually, not that they shouldn't be done, but for Fantasy the Nappy cannons, Spanish Succsion cannons, ACW, etc. all work, Perry and WGA are about neck and neck price wise, and Slud...
@JTam There where none really beyond this and its clearly a 2D concept sketch of a bug being compared to an Ooh-Rah render, it was possibly done last week.
@Geoff Maybury Yeah, franchise works can be a mixed bag, though those rules do sound like something I might pick up.
@Yronimos Whateley Given all the bug related polls they had this week on the FB group its Bugs. we don't even need to think about this hard.
@Mark Dewis To be honest the thing I am really looking forward to in the historical lines is Warring States Chinese. Probably one of the most important times and places in world history and it is ...
I actually made a "modern Afgahn" using a Dragon's 1/35 scale AK family gun and some old open hand bolt action arms on a WA, doesn't look too bad. so there are other sources for modern guns, though...
@Yronimos Whateley From the start actually, and they seemed very serious about it back then.
@Frank Reischmann Actually they along with Eisenkern are an older than WGA concept developed by Mark Mondragon for his company DreamForge games but didn't really make it into the hard plastic stage...
@Frank Reischmann actually, given thier fluff, the Shadowkesh seem more like a rival particepent race or at most the hired security team/referees sent to observe the games and make sure every...
@William Redford hmm, parts to make them up for either 17th or 18th, not bad.
@Yronimos Whateley Near Future and Cyberpunk to me is next week news to Ghost in the shell. ie: mostly realistic guns, no high space opera (ie anything where they are not astro/cosmonaut suits, wa...
I voted for Warring States Chinese infantry, Valkir, and the kobolds. The raptors if done even remotely realistically seem more like a General Accoutrements thing to me unless they have riders sinc...
@Mark Dewis Bro, I was meaning Female Partsians for the Napolionic wars (not WW2), its not like there were none in real life (or more importantly fiction), and it would have worked way better on th...
@Big Boi @Estoc Fair enough argument about command, but unpopular opinion as it maybe, I still think you shouldn't build squat around living or dead GW games unless you really, really want to play...
@lauregami You should talk to McDougall, his website is here. That said I would veiw it as more of hobby thing unless I was going the sculpting new stuff on patron route or a very acti...
@Yronimos Whateley I think its a terrian/diorama kit with soild pose nappy campfollowers doing laundry, which I am still wondering why they would bother with when female partisans of the era would ...
@Big Boi Hmm, I actually would not bother with WFB as a model since it is still dead and KOW pretty much replaced it as the go to mass combat ruleset, and thats a better ruleset from what I can see...
@Ethan Gilbert I have been thinking about it maybe the best way to do them is wokou style for infantry and fantasy Silkroad bandit style for the cavalry (which would be mongols anyways)...
@Ethan Gilbert Yeah they would be pretty fun, and they fullfill the bare minum of having a Saga board. They should probably start with the armored cataphracts. Particularly if they add this crossb...
Perfect ork truk, oh, wait you want it for space french, hmmm, @Grumpy Gnome and @Benjamin Hayward Have the right idea about adding greenables (packs, armored plates, etc.), the double driver view...
@Mark Dewis Yeah, that is appeal of Stargrave, I think Stargrunt II is like that as well but with a greater focus on tanks,etc.
@Benjamin Hayward True it would work for a lot of Elf, beastmen and orcs options that people want. I do think female knights, Kolbolds and Hobgoblins should have their own sets though. In fact tha...
@Eric Howanietz @Mithril2098 Given that the Japanese themselves heavily use the trope of “gobliniod monsters in Samurai armor” both in their folklore, literature and current med...
For sci-fi, I would just build the majority of them as the common weapon option(s) in the box and proxy that as the common weapon option in the game if we are talking platoon sized games(40+ minis ...
@Blutze I would argue that even if it’s just under “flexible armor” for HEMA it does pose as question about how female plate armor would evolve. (and I think it may depen...
For me its Boxers. my guess is delays, I heard something about the printed boxes not being at the warehouse yet.
@H M Hmmm, to be honest I would just have WA stick with thier history scale for fantasy adventurer/average sized humaniod types, lots of great options in that scale already that work great with fan...
@Blutze @lauregami Hmm you both actually bring up a point that I have been somewhat waiting to discuss. I well answer the easy thing first, unarmored female landsknechts if real would probably d...
@Eric Howanietz Umm, no kobolds are not just a D&D thing, but they are mostly a TTRPG thing for the most part as I am pretty sure they show up in Hackmaster, Pathfinder, GURPS, etc. They are on...
@BS Kitbasher Well I see you are man of culture. After looking the Benin up and going down a rabbit hole, I am guessing either the Renissiance or the 19th century for history gaming (probably the ...
@William Redford mantic mins are one of those things were you either love sculpt X or hate sculpt X and want a redo (for example, I actually like thier elves, but I know other people who don'...
@Steffen Seitter Does this include non-european countries? You know like China.
@BS Kitbasher Actually I figure by the time they get to this there already will be 19th century Japanese humans either in the works or on the table. And of course given this is WA, if Hobgobs are ...
