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...

@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.
@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...
@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...
@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...
I wouldn't call them active, exactly, but for some reason they still exist. It's crazy to think it has been 13 years since that thread started and there's still nothing on the market that really fi...
I wonder if anyone else here is a veteran of this thread: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/wargamesfactory/generic-power-armoured-suit-and-weapons-t964139.html
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...
@William Ings I would definitely hope for differing rules for different scales. I'm thinking that an elegant system would be to have a skirmish level game requiring one box of infantry, a platoon l...
@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...
@Mithril2098 I'm interested to know what people think about unit composition. Should we be building a more true to life army with mixed weapons in generalist units (multiple rifles with a s...
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...
@Yronimos Whateley That's precisely what he's talking about. @Jonovious Looking at the rest of the DF range, it seems like WGA are going for designs that are not obviously a "totally-not-copy...
I think the obvious suggestions would be WW2 Russians in full winter gear, Mongolians (particularly with horses on the way), something in dress uniform and something in the style of the US in Vietn...
