Yeah, they definitely didn't bundle that information into the PDF, but they did mention in the PDF that there would be materials for Grognards and the Damned available first, with more information ...
@timbus the thirteenth "standardization. it gets a lot easier to sell people on a siege battle if you can know the exact size of the ladders, walls, etc, at least for more competitive games. person...
@Brian Van De Walker "You do know thats a zapper cave right? the ones dug underneath castle walls to either bypass them or to cuase the wall to fall." You may submit that complaint in triplicate, ...
For what it's worth, while sidetracked, the Townsends reenactor's coat looks to my eye a LOT like a more professionally-tailored version of a "capote" - a home-made winter coat they used to home-ma...
@Charles Tottington "...Cavemen and Neanderthals would probably fall under the Pulp range given one of the caveman things WGA has is a T-Rex that can have caveman riders on it..." Pulp would be my...
There aren't any spear/polearm bits or the like in sight, and I'm guessing it'll be a digital set, but this intriguing preview of what looks like primarily seige terrain bits was included in today'...
@Brian Van De Walker "...on rare occasions Russia, China, etc. other user find ignored piles of SKS and sell them off to the private market, so they kind of flux between being a high price gun and ...
What Drangir said on all counts: Weapon swaps are super-easy. Simple spears are pretty easy as weapon swaps go, just trim off the old weapon, use a pin-vice and fine drill-bits of ap...
The heavy infantry are going to be the one kit that comes closest to "proper" sci-fi aesthetic, with the armor being somewhat comparable to Star Wars stormtroopers, and most of their weaponry being...
That's what Gary Gygax and his friends did for D&D way back in the days before there was a dedicated fantasy wargaming miniatures industry, and it's how some of that game's most enduring monste...
Sounds like fun! Wargames Atlantic really hit it out of the park with their Pulp Adventure lines since then, between the Agents, Operators, Survivors, and (currently digital-only but surely destin...
I've not had a chance to do anything like that (yet), but I definitely think the Agents would make excellent Mulder-and-Scully/Men-in-Black/Delta-Green style G-Men for skirmishing against cryptids,...
@timbus the thirteenth "I'm getting flashbacks to the warlord samurai kit. twenty or so arms per sprue, all paired up, unlabeled, and in zero discernible order. so long as wga isn't pulling that ki...
The Black Bear Tribe is my favorite, and the Jade Fire clan is pretty well-done as well. I think all of the Reaper prehistoric tribes should blend reasonably well with Wargames Atlantic's dig...
@Willdunn3cr "" With that in mind, the Digital catalogue also includes a wonderful "Committee of Public Safety" set (which really ought to be moved from "Napoleonic Conquests" to "Age of R...
@timbus the thirteenth "It's a shame, I feel like some of WGA's most unique and interesting designs are stuck in the realm of digital. Obviously I could just learn to work with resin, but it certai...
I don't actually do any Warhammer gaming and don't know the lore, so take me with a grain of salt, but it seems to me that an elaboration on the Digital Atlantic Traditional Vampires set is surely ...
Short of WA adding something, Reaper had (has?) some fine "Bones" plastic megafauna from one of their crowdfunders several years ago that included a nicely-detailed mammoth, sloth, and a few others...
@Brian Van De Walker - That would be great if you could add your review of the cavalry! It looks like a great kit, I just don't really have any normal use for cavalry (or vehicles either, for...
Oh, some of those bits look familiar, now I know where I got them from! I don't have more than a handful of them, and not everything looks familiar, so I don't think I ever had a full box - I...
Hopefully they will include instructions on/in the retail boxes, but until instructions are available at least digitally, that will leave those who just got the sprues via the crowdfund project out...
I think much - if not nearly all - traditional fantasy at least implies a dark age with a post-Atlantean,"post-apocalyptic" backstory, where some of your best weapons and armor are wondrous artifac...
I hope we didn't break the Sprue Games by over-criticizing them - I was a bit critical of the submissions in some categories in general (without calling any submission in particular out), but I was...
Not to distract too mucy from a full-on fantasy knight set (a "death knight" set might be the best option there), but for most fantasy knight purposes, the Baron's War knights seem like a fine star...
I haven't seen too many topics on The Damned, and no reviews here yet, so I thought I'd open a topic up for these sets, since my crowdfund reward sets just arrived. Short version: most of th...
I could certainly get behind such a thing. I wouldn't have thought of cans and bottles per se, but the bottles would also make nice molotovs, for example! I've never seen any bits for electric to...
It always surprises me that century-old pulp literature, even older fairy tales, and illustrations from the Victorian likes of Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, W.W. Denslow, John R. Neill, or Sydney S...
It's not the first time I've seen these ponytail bits, but I don't remember off the top of my head all the places I've seen it. I'm mostly sure the female Frostgrave, Stargrave, and Deadman'...

Welcome back, I've been missing you, too, wondered where you'd gone to! I was out for most of a year for a series of eye surgeries where I'd gone blind, I can see again now, and I'm healing u...
The war "Oliphaunts" have been a fantasy classic since at least Tolkien's day, at least. Exotic cavalry of various sorts are at least as old as Lovecraft's Dreamlands, where zebras and weird ...
The turrets probably aren't THAT big a problem: I've transplanted turrets between tank kits lots of times, even mounting 1/72 scale turrets on 1/35 scale tank bodies and that sort of thing.&n...
I agree in principle, but I suppose it doesn't HAVE to matter, as long as we can rely on Wargame Atlantic to say "this popular entry sounds like it will be a successful product, it sounds like it'l...
By the way, I REALLY would not mind seeing the "Terra Motus" make its way in some form into plastic as e.g. a Cannon Fodder vehicle. And, those Damned mutant bits that were never put into plastic,...
Historic tank kits are absolutely an option. If you're lucky enough to have easy, affordable access to any of the 28mm kits - generally WWII - made for the Bolt Action game, those are certain...
In my book, a ~20-24 figure box, like the Survivors (24), Agents (24), and Operators (20) is going to be fine, even for skirmish games: that's enough figures for two opposing gangs of gunslin...
I'm not picky, anything historical and specific is OK with me, but I'm also OK with a broad-strokes fantasy any-tribe suitable for "Hollywood" western gaming. I'm sure that wild west gaming takes ...
If WGA's other sets are anything to go by, you can start with a better price-per-mini: a box of GEG's Gunslingers contains only ten figures, while WGA's Survivors and Agents sets, with a simi...
@timbus the thirteenth "dnd-style dwarves tend to have that big round cylinder helmet and plate armor...." Really? Maybe that's a 4th/5th edition thing? Seems like most of the D&D ...
@timbus the thirteenth I'm open to that. Out of the sets for the Damned Deadth Fields faction, some of the more interesting bodies were one-offs on the Command sprue, in the form of a robed p...
I agree with Brian - seems like Wargames Atlantic has checked a LOT of boxes for me with the Pulp Adventure product line's Surivors, Agents, Operators, and Zombies, the Partisans I and II sets, the...
I'm still up for something a bit more Rip Van Winkle than LotR or Warhammer, and I never was a fan of historical theming for fantasy "races" (the demand for "Viking", "Scottish", "Japanese" "Assyri...

The more I think of it, the more I think that, if I were to need to build an undead army right this minute, for a Dark Ages, Medieval, or Renaissance setting, I had mostly only WGA kits to work wit...

@Thomas Johnson "Halloween Bestiary..." I think WGA did a fantastic job on the zombies kit, but before that appeared, I suggested a generic undead kit that I envisioned as sort of a set of bodies ...
Not to hijack things too much, but not sure I'll ever see a better opportunity to mention that the default Wargames Atlantic skeleton kit is an excellent source of skulls and bones to decorate base...
Can't speak much for other countries, but for armed civilians for a zombie apocalypse/Red Dawn scenario in the USA, these sets are pretty well-rounded and covered, with a few curious omissions that...
