I honestly don't see where room on the sprues will even be a problem, unless WA is going to be using going back to the smaller-sized sprues like those from their earlier sets or something: th...
I think the kit is great - keep the WWI heads for sure, a box of these zombies should be an instant add-on for anyone interested in the "Last War" boxed set! I think the hardest heads to make a ca...
Did you ever find the theme you were looking for? If not, I kind of like @Big Boi 's underground fantasy idea, and I kind of like the post-apocalyptic thing... maybe you've got a skirmish/warband ...
For those curious about the Bandai Gundam snap-together mecha model kits, my usual online hobby shop is carrying some for as little as US $10 or less right now - these kits seem like an incredible ...
Good calls! The robot would be very easy to scratch-build around some of those wheels - I've done it before with only a little more material than that to work with (there's something very sim...
This 1/72 scale "WWII Ground Vehicle Set" by Academy Plastics was about US 12 so I picked a couple up for parts: Technically too msall for 28mm figures, I figured there might still be some usefu...
I can't recall whether I already posted this here, but that does remind me a little of these imaginative weapons prototypes from Ghana, which honestly aren't any crazier than the usual fare for sci...
Thread necromancy - rise, rise from the grave! It's been a copule years since I started on it, then shelved it for a while, but I dug out my box of souped-up Doom/Quake stuff and gave a few ...
Painting: If you're very new to painting miniatures, I'll suggest checking out Reaper Miniatures' "Learn to Paint" kits - I don't work for Reaper or get anything from that company, but Reaper is a...
Welcome aboard! I think a lot of the active threads fall into a broad "wish list" category of things that regular customers would like to see, which can be fun to check out just for the imaginativ...
@Charles Tottington - if you haven't seen them already, the video and guidelines in the news article posted on the main site helps a lot with clarifying the limits and providing an example: (...
Depends on the sprue real-estate they choose to work in - the Conquistadors and WWII Italians had a lot more breathing room than the Afghans or Boxers. Yes, head options, asbolutely, and I ca...
I kinda agree: I tend to prefer my sci-fi a bit darker-and-grittier than this set runs toward, even when I'm in the mood for something flavored in mid-20th century space opera kitsch. But, t...
YES. In the name of all that is abominable and eldritch, I command this thread to arise, and walk the earth once more! That also sounds like a great set for SWAT, special ops, corporate secu...
Fair enough - there's a lot of wriggle-room for sleeves at this scale and you can get pretty far on something generic, but hazmat suit sleeves - like the sleeves for the Boxers and Afghans - are ki...
Glad you're enjoying those conversions, they're a lot of fun for me to make! I'm slowly making progress on painting starting this last couple weeks, breaking out some Rust-oleum Camouflage ra...
I kinda like the suggestion for bandits wearing the familiar Robin Hood style costumes, even if it might be more appropriate as a "Classic Fantasy" set or possibly niche enough for only a Digital r...
American Civil War would be my first instinct here, but then the Uniforms in art for the Boxer and Spanish-American conflicts look more like products of the 20th century... might be because the ico...
Great choices! There are bound to be small anachronisms here and there if used outside of WWI, but those campaign hats could come in handy for placing those doughboys in other conflicts aroun...
Yeah, and in some ways, this kit kind of feels like we're not getting the full sprue it deserves. I'd have to compare it to some of the newer kits by WA to see if it really is smaller, but it...
I like the Dead Man's Hand sets for what they are, but they really do have a chunky, doughy look to them, and are a bit short compared to WA's figures, I think - Dead Man's Hand figures compare clo...
The treaded box-on-wheels is a classic! I considered making some of my own from small-scale model tanks (I was guessing 1/144 might work, but never got around to taking a chance on one), but ...
Thanks! Fireforge it is - I definitely chucked the box and stripped the sprues for parts as soon as I got it, then promptly forgot who made the set! Fireforge's Mongols are a grea...
I'm certainly no expert, but what I've seen of most of the standard-issue fantasy fare - including dwarves and elves - is that they all seem likely to have started their folkloric careers as the st...
Exactly - cyborgs are a natural adjunct to the android/robot concept. Even something as simple as including among the robot heads some half-organic heads with enhanced eyepieces or whatever c...
Great idea! You might find some of Reaper's older "Bones" plastic minis useful for this purpose: the older plastic Bones figures are generally pretty inexpensive in Reaper's online stor...
By the way, I can't resist adding that I REALLY appeciate that gas masks and rifles of different types were included in this set, when it would have been extremely easy for WA to have simply made i...
I don't have any inside information, and I'm going to guess that you're referring tot he figure on the far right of this picture: I don't think the part was included in the final set - none of t...
Well, I've got a LOT of painting ahead of me, NOTHING is done except forone vehicle which is about 90% painted, and i haven't completely assembled most of these vehicles yet, so there's a couple ve...
I don't know about anyone else, but Wargames Atlantic lizard men with batteries of those old medieval Chinese-style rockets seem to me to go together perfectly. Some handguns to go with the long f...
Robots and androids seem to me like a sorely under-served topic in these sorts of hard plastic kits, I'd definitely get behind seeing more of them! There are a few bits and bobs that I know of out...
I'm loving the airship gunner idea! I'd probably be happy enough with simply the guns and crews to buy the kits eventually, but filling out the sprues with accessories, command and support charact...
There are some gas mask heads with helms from ghe WWI German set, and the gas mask heads without helmets/caps from the WWI Russians, which would make excellent "generic" Death Fields heads of this ...
I think I prefer 1/48, I've seen complaints about it being "too big", but I've only noticed a problem in one or two 1/48 kits that seem to have been scaled weirdly - for example, (that Tamiya 1/48 ...
Glad I can help a little. There is one correction to make: I mis-remembered the Accessory Sprue heads as a flat-fit like the historical figures, but they're actually a ball-and-socket f...
I started to write a couple detailed essays on "medieval" monster-hunting characters, but realized after finishing them that, honestly, there are two points to be made: I don't think we're neces...
The connection is the same that Wargames Atlantic uses for all its historical stuff - a flat connection high up on the neck near/at the base of the skull. So, pretty much any of WA's historic...
I seem to recall that there might have been contemporary sets on the schedules way back when this set was first released, but it's been a while, and if there were I'm not sure if WA is still develo...
@Brian Van De Walker Edit after reading through: Oh, and WA shouldn't bother doing medieval monks and witchs for plastic, they should just do cultists 1 and 2 sets since those would actual...
@Paul Mitting Same here - the Frostgrave figure sculpting is just a bit shorter and doughier than I'd like, but there's a wealth of great accessories in those Frostgrave Wizards boxes - between tho...
For posterity, I'm sure this is about the Foot Knights set (as the only set in this range at this moment), and if so: I'm pretty sure the back of any knight's spare left fist would attach at the "...
Update on the 1/56 scale M-8/M-20 Greyhound: Now that I've seen one in person on the table mostly assembled, it's not a bad option for a near-future or other sci-fi armored car. It's still a...
Regarding the Medieval vs. Victorian setting, I would err on the side of the Victorian end any day: Most of the classic Gothic Horror cliches from e.g. the Universal Horror Movie territory that la...
I'm with Brian: if someone were to make a full boxed set of monster hunters, I'd certainly prefer something a bit closer to the Victorian, than Dark Ages or Medieval. I'd be fine with someth...
Tamiya's 1/48 modern armor kits are fine from what I've seen: scaled pretty much identically to WGA's 28mm guys. That Tamiya Japanese armored car and Hummer look great with WGA's Iron Core an...
@Stephen Sutton and @Charles Tottington - I think the anatomy involved in this sort of thing is maybe something best just handwaved: I've spent too much time trying to reason thro...
Thank you, @Alessio De Carolis - good to see someone doing retro Japanese-style power armor! Looks like there were a few interesting models in the cyberpunk section there, including scen...
Yes! And if we ever meet actual aliens, I have to think they'd look, think, feel, and see the world much closer to something like that (from our perspective), than they ever could to us. ...
I'm a bit inclined for dark elves toward an idiosyncratic, somber, gothic take on the Regency Period's tail-coats, knee breeches, high collars, cloaks, top hats and tricorns, powdered wigs and masq...
The Flatwoods Monster: "Lemon said he aimed a flashlight in that direction and momentarily saw a tall man-like figure with a round, red face surrounded by a pointed, hood-like shape...." ...
