@timbus the thirteenth You've probaby heard about the "restic" they were using around a decade ago. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but couldn't be ground or filed; shaving with a shar...

Non-Humanoid advanced combatants.posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
Are you familiar with Mantic's Deadzone/Warpath Firefight range? Their space-Orcs are more aligned with what you describe, and they have a vaguely Cthuloid sub-aquatic themed faction called the Nam...

Kit ideas I'd love to see from WGA/Asking Thoughts?posted in General Chatter
They're not spectacularly sexy, but have you seen Mantic's Succubuses?

What setting-agnostic kits would people want to see?posted in General Chatter
Tough question to answer. Setting agnostic arguably narrows down the possible options by a lot. In theory, an explicitly fantasy object could exist in a scifi or real world setting as part of some ...

Generic stowage?posted in General Chatter
As Mithril said, I think it would be rather difficult to make one kit that services everyone's wants, plus I'm dubious of the breadth of the appeal. Definitely something worth considering for AD, I...

Bodies only sprewposted in Vox Populi
@timothy lacasse Loathe as I am to have a bunch of arms and heads laying around that I can't use, I don't think it makes sense to make a tool, which isn't cheap, for the sole purpose of allowing pe...

Adepticon 2025: Grimdark Future $100 Army Challengeposted in General Chatter
I had a look for more information about this because I'm interested in seeing what people came up with, but there doesn't seem to be much online. Is there anywhere I could check out pictures of peo...

Weird Sci-fi space explore team?posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I have to admit I hadn't really considered the alternate modern stuff when I wrote that. I've heard of a few things like Walking Dead, (I think) I've heard of Zone Alfa somewhere before, and I know...

Weird Sci-fi space explore team?posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@INSURGENT Skirmisher I'm interested to hear what kind of games you would want these for? The only post apocalyptic rulesets I'm aware of are Fallout (Warfare and Wasteland Warfare) and a variant o...

How should I build a set of Bulldogs?posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I've got one box so far, and I've built mine as a pair of 10-man squads with one sergeant, one special weapon and 8 rifles. The 4 spare guys joined a metal character I picked up from Heresy to make...

The Valkir Are Comingposted in Iron-Core: Mark Mondragon's Universe
@Mithril2098 "only 12 figures per box?" you make it sound like that's not a lot. :P I saw a comparison to GW in some article comments, and apparently people who couldn't physically have the ...

Valkir anti-material rifle conversionposted in Iron-Core: Mark Mondragon's Universe
I like the look of B, it needs something else, but I can't quite put my finger on it. The silhouette looks good.

Weird Sci-fi space explore team?posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I wonder if this could be made to work commercially with a stronger visual identity. Fallout Wasteland Warfare seems to sell, so there seems to be a market for that kind of 1950's American retro-fu...

Weird Sci-fi space explore team?posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that will sell in large numbers, which a hard plastic kit needs to do. Definitely a more niche product, better suited to 3d prints or potentially metal. Off o...

Cannon Fodder Command and Heavy Supportposted in Vox Populi
I think the Scrapheap Challenge stuff would look out of place with the original models. Their equipment was cheap, but not hastily improvised from things they found in the rubbish. They should prob...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Yronimos Whateley I'd like a power armour miniature to look good alongside human minis at the same scale, so I want at least some consideration given to anatomy and ergonomics. I'm absolutely down...

Building Bulldogsposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Brian Van De Walker This. R1 = Right arm 1, L1 = Left arm 1, both ones go together. Some left arms have multple right arms that must be chosen between for each sprue. (actually I think it's just one)

What would Einherjar Heavy Weapons and Command look like?posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I would like something that looks like something that links to their Viking heritage. I think that's going to be something of a challenge because the DF range, so far, is based around fairly mod...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Charles Tottington I think the wearer has their elbows in the shoulders of the suit and their wrists/hands in the elbows. It looks a little awkward, and it prevents wrist articulation on the suits...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Battle Specter Yeah, looking at that, there's no way a standard human would fit their limbs into the limbs of the armour, that's a mini-mech at that scale. there looks to be about enough space to ...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I've been considering the renders a little more, and the elbows-in-shoulders and wrists-in-elbows style arms are growing on me. If the armour is doing all the work, then the only real concern is th...

How about a bit of horror?posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
This could be a good idea for an upgrade sprue, since it translates reasonably well across the range. Perhaps the teams sometimes run out of reinforcements mid-match and must improvise with crude c...

A little about the DF universeposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Chris Guy I would have thought they weren't as effective as their alien overlords real militaries, otherwise they probably wouldn't be participating in a sport in the first place.

Ooh Rah preparing to "Get Some"posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Steven StGeorges I imagine accessory sprues must be something that's difficult to design. A full kit has a marketing identity and a target demographic, but an accessory sprue has to be something t...

Ooh Rah preparing to "Get Some"posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I definitely like the look of this more than I did the render; to my eye the cloth below the hip-straps looks much more like part of a single contiguous garment that it did in super-high resolution...

@Mithril2098 Yeah, if the barrier to entry were lower I could see a tabletop fallout game gaining a much larger following.

Better Bulldogsposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I think the proportions are intentional. They're "bulldogs", so naturally they lean into the large head and shoulders typical of heroic scale models a bit more than others, to a degree that it beco...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
The new sneak-peek looks to be the power armour with the front attached. I must say it cuts a very intimidating profile from what's on-show here. It's hard to tell, but it looks like there will be ...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@JTam Yeah, the armour in Anthem looks like it was designed to fit around a mesh of a human character in a videgame, making it overly sleek, rather than factoring in any practical design considerat...

Heavy Infantry suggestionposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@GreenScorpion It sounds to me like you prefer the chunkier, more heroic scale of the Raumjager, which I can understand. What you're looking for sounds like an almost entirely new kit though, with ...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I think Fallout 4's armour does a good job of accomodating a human frame, while selling the "power" part of the armour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyDVkHuX9Ok It adds noticable bulk an...

Heavy Infantry suggestionposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
Forgive me if I'm missing something, but what you describe there already seems to exist in the form of the Iron Core range: https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/iron-core/products/eisenker...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@JTam I think I could live with something like that. I know they had something similar in one of the XCOM videogames. If we're going down that route, I imagine a spinal connection would work too, t...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
Ok, the Friday email seems to show a render of a possible Power Armour design. I'm happy with the three-fingered Waldos, I think they should be sufficient for whatever mobile infantry might need. I...

Robots!posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I think a cool opportunity for a robot sprue would be to kitbash them with an existing sprue to create cyborgs. I think I saw some cyborg parts on the female Cannon Fodder; if that's a popular opti...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Mithril2098 Mantic's Forge Guard already have a similar system, in hard plastic, so it's definitely doable to have separate wrist and shoulder mounts for weapons.

@William Ings I'd say that strays too far into mini-mech territory, it's very clearly piloted rather than worn.

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@John Wilson I'm not sure that I would agree that it falls into the vehicle category. It is a single object that closes around the wearer, but I don't think that disqualifies it from the category o...

Ooh Rah preparing to "Get Some"posted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Mithril2098 They're a work in progress, I'm pretty sure. (or who knows, perhaps they'll be modelled that way and have a choice of different muzzles on the sprue?)

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
Given how much interest this thread has generated in a short amount of time, I think it's worth trying to get a consensus for a specification for this [potential] kit. Size/dimensions: There...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
@John Wilson I'm pretty sure the company no longer exists, and they only licensed the design, so someone else could probably make one if they paid whoever designed it.

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I believe Defiance Games had licensed that design before they went under, they didn't even have the decency to release the STL they had, to the people who already paid for the physical release. I'm...
