Fantastic team - love this use of those Stargrave guys, and the Cannon Fodder bits and Great Escape gunfighters bits work seamlessly together with them! I think the paint work looks great - b...
Nice find! Naturally, it'll work excellently with fantasy as well - I think it might be fun to leave the cover off and load that wagon up with a band of Wargames Atlantic's halflings... finding a ...
@Nostalgia - Wow, I didn't see the contest enries until now, and there was a lot of excellent work from everyone involved, but that skeleton painter really went above and beyond! :)
By the sound of it, there might be a browser setting that is interfering with the links, maybe an over-protective security or privacy setting? Just a guess. (Those bottom two links abso...
That's really strange, Geoff! I don't have any problems with the links, either logged into my account or logged out, on a PC using either Firefox, Chrome, or Edge. There's nothing reall...
I love that Wargames Atlantic has been very responsive to the polls and requests from their customers, even if some of the ideas are only ever realized as Digital options: I really don't thin...
These really are some beautiful sets for at least a scifi/fantasy game market - especially those Hoplites and Ancients, but posing aside the Trench Raider figures as well would work equally well fo...
I'm glad to see the huge variety of minis available today - it's really a golden age for this sort of thing! But, I think my favorite developments have been all the Renaissance, Victorian, and WWI...
@JTam - glad you enjoyed that! :) The Victorian era tends to get all the attention for that sort of innovation, but the 18th Century seems to have spawned quite a few weird and i...
Brian's conclusion sounds fair enough to me - a couple searches for things like "Toledo side sword" and the like conjure up results that seem reasably close: Looks like these sorts of blad...
With the caveat that I'm not likely to be a regular digital customer, I do enjoy the themes, and think that much of the digital content is wonderfully imaginitive, original, and different! Wi...
The orc-jaw bevors do look like a good way to put your eye out with a sudden movement the wrong way, but the heads without them look fine to me! Someone seriously needs to find some 28mm s...
Not sure how much it'll help in your case, but I THINK the swords in the Conquistadores set are meant to be the sort of blade we'd describe as a "rapier", it just doesn't come out very clearly at t...
For those who missed it on the MyMiniFactory page linked above: A quite new addition to the Death Fields circuit, the Damned were abducted recently from their broken home. These unfortunate huma...
Note that - as I understand it - you aren't precisely buying what you're voting for - it's more like a general gift code that can be applied to anything you like in the online shop at any time, wit...
Grampy's War (2): "Never knew what corner of the Empire they'd called the reinforcements down from, but all they could do was cower and whimper... our war must have seemed like madness to ...
Grampy's War (1): "Earthwork." "We never knew how they got the infernal thing down there!" "There were deeper bunkers. We traded with the men down there for c...
@Geoff Maybury @JTam Thank you very much! I've been lurking off and on through the winter but there's so little time, and I sometimes get really tired of that internal voice that I get when w...
I'd be perfectly happy using a set of figures like this in fantasy gaming to represent bandits, cultists, assassins, slave conscripts, rebels, mobs, gladiators, and more. They should be prett...
I think this is a great idea - definitely doesn't seem like it was meant to be a cash-grab to me: it's not a lot different from a "pre-order" option, with the ability to put the funding towar...
Not sure which Death Fields faction I'm looking at, but it looks darned cool:
I haven't had much chance to do anything game-related over the winter, been pretty busy with a reorganization and other adventures at work, among other things, and I'm not big on digital printing, ...
I'll absolutely second the suggestions for accessories that include chainsaws, control devices, drones, and I'll add in hand grenades and sci-fi claymore/land mines, and sensors/trackers/geiger cou...
Gotta agree on cyberpunk being a different animal from the other "punk" subgenres, as the only real hard sci-fi option of the bunch (if only in a "20 Minutes Into the Future" sense.) From a certai...
Looks like a fun discussion, I'm always on the lookout for new music. I mostly listen to music while driving - I think about half of the bands Pierre mentioned are on regular rotation in my playli...
I'd be aboard for both ideas - sounds like a lot of fun to me. The pulp ship crew really is the sort of thing that crosses over well with the partisans, which seems like it was a successful from t...
Nice work! I'm cool with the sort of Victorian Sci-Fi thing that the Grognards and Bulldogs would generally fit right into., but I think I really prefer this sort of souped-up post-apocalyptic WWI...
Nice find - given a new coat of paint and a little weathering, these two don't look half bad for '70s style sci-fi in the vein of Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and the Buck Rogers TV series, whi...
The story that was going around back then was that the guy who made the film (I'm never going to remember his name) was supposed to be adapting the Heinlein story, but read one page of it, decided ...
"Back in my day, we had to Telnet and IRC uphill in the snow - both ways! - to get to our social media, and we LIKED it that way!" And the kids stayed off my lawn while we did it.... ...
That's great! I'd been saying for a while that the giant spiders ought to make great alien bugs, played straight with the sci-fi bits included in the kits, but I hadn't considered modifying the fi...
Hand grenades and horseshoes, when it comes to my resources and budget :) The 28mm figures I'm working with are about the same height as the 1/48 scale drivers, and some of the (nonimally 28mm) Re...
Thanks for that, Mithril! I might check one of those kits out! sounds like they're bigger than I thought. I remember seeing those Gundam kits all the time back in the early '80s, and I...
I'm not familiar with Rubicon miniatures, but came across two 1/56 hard plastic army kits by them: Viet-Cong Fighters and USMC Marines, and figured I'd give a quick first impression of them h...
I don't think the Eisenkern sets currently available from Wargames Atlantic are very much taller than the Cannon Fodder - I've mixed-and-matched pieces between these sets with no trouble at all, an...
Fair enough! I had no idea there was even a concept sketch out there, so I pretty much took it for granted until now that WGA's giant spiders - with the biomechanical bits - would be the prox...
Nice looking stuff! I might end up having to downsize my gaming habit and I'll sit this Kickstarter out, but if I were in the market for big terrain, this looks like it would be perfect...
Hey everyone - I don't have a Facebook account, would anyone mind dropping any of the Facebook teasers here? It would be greatly appreciated! This is the first I've heard of the bugs!&n...
I imagine a 1/35 scale AK worked pretty well at that scale - maybe a little big, but then the guns are always big on minis with more "heroic", exaggerated proportions, so on a tabletop, it probably...
A huge, tactical gyrojet lungbuster with a 300 round magazine, AND a barrel shroud? Come on man, you know the 23rd century will be a really dangerous, dystopian place! If they could possibly...
Oh, that's a great find there, another one that's totally new to me! Lots of great stuff there, but for some reason, the "Dr. Mindetwist" mad scientist character is my favorite:
Nice work - I love the green uniforms, the palette of colours work together really nicely here, and the kitbashing looks great! I'm getting a really grimy post-apocaluyptic vibe from these guys - ...
Another Ooh Rah sneak-peek! And... This week, we apparently have a sneak-peek of a modern or near-future marine on the right, with... a mystery on the left? Looks organic, maybe a...
Oh, good catch on the Starship Troopers' rifles, @Grumpy Gnome - I'd forgotten what those looked like! Starship Troopers Aliens The rifles for the Ooh Rah guys are not an exact m...
@Danforth Laertes - The reason rules get mentioned is that Wargames Atlantic did mention the possibility of dipping their toes into writing some wargames rule earlier in the year, or late las...
I saw it when I was really young, back in the '70s or '80s, and then saw it again several years ago to make sure it really exists! I was mesmerized by it as a kid - loved the monsters and shi...
"The Lost Continent" (1968) - a desultory tramp steamer full of dangerous explosives is stranded in a "lost continent" of deadly man-eating Sargasso Seaweed with the wrecks of antique sailing ships...
I agree with @JTam - looks like a fine homage to the Aliens Colonial Marines, by way of "heroic" 40k proportions. I'm not sure that's meant to be a rail on top of the handgun, but a barrel shroud...
These look fantastic! I haven't tried kitbashing those apocalypse survivor bits to the Wargames Atlantic Afghans yet, but I have kitbashed them onto Eisenkern figures of all things, and can c...
I think they look fine, and they look like they would be broadly useful for a variety of sci-fi purposes other than Death Fields Raumjager, such as Eisenker, as mentioned by John WIlson. The...
