@Hudson Adams Sure whatever, I only asked cause I want to see the Warring States Chinese to pre-order sometime this year and the DWAB is all we are really seeing and I feel like its in the way.

@Oddball Too be fair those were for a 28mm wargame that was basically a WFB knockoff and the models themselves are very fiddily. At 10mm you would do better without armor but maybe keeping the helm...
@OddballYes I remember that Russian wargame franchise setting, still awesome though I think the background armies of the gods mentioned in the rulebook would have been a more intresting start...
@Hudson Adams why, thats more work on the building and painting end, though I suppose you could make arguements on the former with 10mm, that said I think oddball is right about bare for a starting...
@HokutoAndy Yeah I don't know about that at all though given it was Irish culture wars I can buy that happening. Currently though even GW is abandoning the eastern influence in favor of hoplite el...
@Hudson Adams So you guys got the preorders for the Dark Age Army Builder out of the way?
@Oddball Personally I think if your doing armor for a skellie army, you should either use a wide range of armor from several diffrent nations, giving it an international vibe like the necromancer i...
@Robert K Ehh, do Onepage then, its likely the same setup as 40k IG and cheaper to get. Could also go with Xeno Rampent or build them anyway you want and play Stargrunt II which doesn't have a poin...
@Timothy Peterson I agree, political statments should be done in non-industry enviorments like FB groups that are not tied to a corporation, they gain more traction there and are actually better pl...
@Robert K My recommend is build them up as a Boltaction force (like British) unless your stuck with GW rules, maybe pick up the fan add on rules for SciFi and go from there.
@Mithril2098 Pfft, the main reason realistically to do US Troops for WW1 would be Pulp and maybe the late Filipino Americian war given "minor factions" like Portugal and Italy were more involved th...
@Icebomb 84 likely when the Dark Age Warrior AB Set funds or Hudson gives up on them, frankly the CF command and Heavy weapons set well likely get released without the need of the vox, they already...
@Yronimos Whateley Well, I can't say about the early metals but all the plastic Iron Core stuff was armored (even the officers in the command set though it did have a samurai general style ov...
@Yronimos Whateley The Iron Core sets where all armored unlike starwars imperial officers. @Greaver Blade Hmm, well you could actually do a pretty okay generic SciFi army by buying the Eisenkern i...
@Greaver Blade "Nasapunk" sounds like the male and female Cannon fodder bodies we already have, maybe a more armored astronaut/cosmonaut body for their heavy troopers? Infact not to knock it...
@Yronimos Whateley that would be one heck of an "untrained eye", more like doesn't really know about military history before WW2 "eye" 😆. Honestly WA's WW1 Italian digi sculpts would fill in ...
@Yronimos Whateley While you have a point about the French, the WW2 Italians don't really fit in that well anywhere else if we are talking actual history gaming. Otherworld/high imagination s...
@Marko Merpovich lots of bodies I would guess. that is what ABs are for.
@Charles Tottington The big tribal conflicts with the Spanish in what would be the USA during the renaissance was with the native tribes in Flordia (which where none of those at the time) and...
@Charles Tottington frankly Perry already covers most of the Tudors pretty well with their War of the Roses line and Warlord's ECW line is generation or 2 after the Conquestdors who aga...
@Charles Tottington the The Sharps Riflemen set actually would look out of place everywhere practically but the Napoleonic era timeframe and maybe some actions in the decade just after ...
@Charles Tottington Frostgrave has a blackpowder weapon add on rules in one of the magzines and there is always sludge, Dragon's Rampent, one page rules, Fist full of Lead, and Chain Reaction...
@Stephen Sutton the comparision would be with the the old Valkir set which I think was $40 for 20 figures back when Dreamforge was working with WGF, if your space armor knight prices are the same o...
@Charles Tottington The Conquistadors should roughly work for the English of the same timeframe of 1519-1590, any exclusive to English armor/weapon/clothing is likely ignorable if these images of E...
@Yronimos Whateley Nah, as they are for their timeframe in the Renissiance the Conquestdor sets cover for most Western European troops including the explorers/colonists except maybe really od...
@Marko Merpovich The first AB has not even funded yet and frankly I think they should cut the headswaps down to one set of options, have 3 spears to one sword/axe weapon mix with only 1 weapon to a...
@Charles Tottington There is probably few fantasy games that don't have zombies.
@Yronimos Whateley Gold, Glory and Blood did use them and I voted for it. I also voted for Guardians of Totem, knightcore, Roiters and Little Great Game which looked like fun games. Also the Lizar...
@Charles Tottington they all looked a lot like the spanish at that time though (like the norwegians and English look close enough), heck I am pretty sure the set only has pikes so it can cover most...
@Charles Tottington Mix thier ranks with Warlord landsknects and avoid using the morion helmets. As to games any ruleset with the word "pike" in it's title will likely cover both sets.
@William Redford hmm, I am not sure the AB would be much diffrent from using the old Grippong Beast Dark Age warriors to soak up parts, but okay.
@Hudson Adams In its current planned state😆, I bet a nickle it will not sell as well as a Warring States baggage train set let alone 2x what you guys actually have planned for WSC considering the d...
@Drangir Honestly wish the damned cav came with cheap motorbikes instead of boom lances (bike are way more Postapoc and cultist), but that is not what is sadly😆. That said while I do ag...
So the ruleset creation contest is now open to voting on its first catagory here. Its divided up into 4 catagories, First up is Fantasy. I voted for my own ruleset Cold Blooded Honor ...
@Big Boi The AB is just another Dark Age Warrior set with a ton of heads left over, would rather hear more about the Warring States Chinese sets, get the feeling more people with real investment we...
@Drangir I have heard all sorts of "historians" online make claims about how "this armor/clothing/whatever was for parade use only" and then find examples those same pieces with bullet and blade de...
@Mithril2098 Short answer: No, and while I would not mind it do others really want historical Death Fields kits? Probably not (but hey we still have Iron Core in HD historical scale). @Drangir If ...
@Sir Nobody Actually I could see them as Free Agents, same deal with Mongols since the main selling point is the cavalry, could even do both as mutant cyborg centaurs if wanted though that may be a...
Well that answers that. Do we know if anyone Archive.orged the blog posts?
Dang the Ai on spam bots is getting smarter.
@Yronimos Whateley There shouldn't be a lot of seperate bodyparts for an all purpose Zombie AB, just 1 hateless headswap for each ragged clothing wearing body and maybe have the arms seperate or ju...
@Mithril2098That’s not a bad idea and would fit the conquistador heads on the sprue, but it might be too late to make those alterations and Hudson seems a little to invested in making sure th...
@Jim Heath Hmm, while there are quite a few rulesets out for modern zombies they all have the same basic low mini need formula and are late 2000’s games that clearly existed due to Zomb...
@Krisps Actually I could see them doing 3 of each for varity, but 2 of each dark age helmet would make the most sense. @Mithril2098 Not going to lie, they could probably ditch the bodies altogethe...
@Hudson Adams You dumped the conquestadors heads in favor of the moderns. Why? could have just added those modern zed heads to the modern civilians later on if/when you do them.
