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...

@Red Bee Seems like this may be related.

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields: 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...

Hardsuits (WGA, Please read this)posted in General Chatter
Take a look over here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/77051/powered-armoured-mobile-infantry WGA are already working on their own power armour design, which I must say I fin...

Building Bulldogsposted in Death Fields: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

Awesome, it's a good time to be into this stuff.

Better Bulldogsposted in Death Fields: 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: 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 ...

@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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

@Alex Core I don't want Colonial Marine knockoffs. I want modern not Cadians sci fi infantry. Ok, but I think that's mutually exclusive with the harder sci-fi/nearer future look that WGA are goi...

@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: 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: 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?)

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: 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.

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...

It looks like the bottom barrel is fixed to the cylinder beneath it, which turns upwards at the tip, and there seems to be a cylindrical protrusion from the bottom. I think it looks like a flamethr...

How many kits would a full Death Fields team have?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!

How many kits would a full Death Fields team have?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
@William Ings I definitely see how DF lends itself to making not-Imperial Guard armies, but I was thinking more along the lines of how a potential DF game might handle force composition. I think an...

Dwarf ideasposted in Classic Fantasy
I think if you stray too far away from traditional viking-style dwarves then they're not really dwarves any longer, and they become "what if X-but short?", which is gimmicky and likely to appeal to...

@Dalton McCormick Perhaps the heads could include an undead-robot style in among the animal-heads. They might make for some nice not-crons.

@Chris Pryme The other miniature company already services the market for high-tech death metal elves pretty well; did you have anything in mind that would help to differentiate the two?

@Berggeit I like the idea of the alien race exterminated by their own robots, maybe it could even be one kit. I'm imagining that they've created their own Skynet, which developed infiltrators to s...
