those might be a bit small and easy forp players to misunderstand? they'd end up looking more like silenced pistols. how about this contraption? https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/10/18/im-...

they seem to be a mix of ww2, soviet russia, and post-apoc bandits. arguably, their closest inspirations (in so much that fan suggestions steered it that way) is the Blood Pact and Sons of Sek fro...
i liek the updated one better from a design standpoint. the mantlet design looks like it would allow for better elevation of the howitzer. it would have some issues with crossing trenches, but sinc...
a couple thoughts: while in the past the dendra panoply was thought to be a charioteer armor, current archeological thought is that it was in fact used by heavy infantry. it was a myceanian armor,...
the the 'classic fantasy' gnome i assuem you mean the stereotypical D&D version? tiny, pointy hats, penchant for illusions? those were derived from a mix of two main sources.. celtic 'little p...
@Jonathan Levine you can only carry so much weight on a pony or horse though, if you expect it to be able to travel any useful distance, and a halfling in armor is going to take up most of that wei...
Those do require a 3D printer though, not something that most people already own. And 3d printing services have fairly unreliable pricing. With quite a few of the bigger operations charging prices ...
XR uses individually based figures, though the stats are by unit. the figures just stay close together when you move them. it's meant for scifi mostly, but can handle just about any modern warfare ...
Xenos Rampant can be used for such games, if you want a simple and flexible ruleset. though that same simplicity might make it less than ideal for a WW1 era game, since you wouldn't be using many o...
it also has the benefit of matching well with the "bond villain minion" and "space explorer" sub-themes of the cannon fodder kit. and it would be easier. a sniper rifle could easily be a slightly ...
i'd prefer the light infantry take on cannon fodder myself, they're the dregs of the game circuit, so why spend much on fancy gear for them? at the same time, they're bankrolled groups with slick g...
@Miyuso i think that question would be better asked in the "atlantic digital" subforum than in here. @Alessio De Carolis the downside being that the "gundam artifact" line of tiny models has been ...
there are a lot of "28mm is [scale]" claims.. i've even seen some people sayingthey're 1/72nd.. and given i bought 1/72nd figures to play with like armymen toys growing up, that is way off.. (a 1/7...
unfortunately it is often more of a personal preference thing. in my experiance, 1/48 tends to look best with 28mm, especialyl the heroic proportioned ones. the hatches and doors look big enough fo...
@Brian Van De Walker true enough, i just haven't had a chance to go searching for scifi specific stuff. hobbylinkjapan would probably be the best place to search for the anime kits, but i've mostly...
@Miyuso this is true, and if i find any I'll definstely point them out. But non-historical based designs are a lot rarer, especially in the more affordable price ranges. My selection from the first...
So this thread is meant to be a collaborative one where we share the various vehicle sources we've run across, which can be combined with the Deathfields figures to create more interesting armies i...
@Greaver Blade the big issue i can see with a "$100 challenge" at adepticon is the amount of record keeping needed to ensure that they don't exceed the limit. plus the fact that it would restrict t...
@Greaver Blade I actually messaged the game designer of Xenos Rampant and suggested an expansion with more xenos rules. The response was "Nothing planned at this time, but if Osprey gets enough...
i feel like i'm going to be unpopular for expressing this viewpoint, but i think i'd prefer feathered Raptors. more, i'd want ones based on semi-accurate reconstructions. nobody does those but i th...
from their FB update two days ago: Another episode of Reptilian Overlords will sci fi ANYTHING. I've made some changes the the Lazknecht rifle and added some futuristic elements to the body (amm...
@JTam you honestly aren't far off, the tracked version is basically an M2 halftrack with the serial numbers filed off, and the M2 half track was derived from the chassis of the M3 scout car. the wh...
well that would give the new Votann players in 40K a source of stuff to replicate the old squats.
@Steven StGeorges yeah, i know etsy exist. i was just taking it as a challenege to think of a fix for people who aren't looking to spend extra $$ ontop of an already excessively expensive kit. thi...
my thoughts:, numbered from left to right:#1 doesn't really look like a missile launcher to me. it has too many 'gun' type features, and honestly looks more like some sort of shoulder fired support...
i think i'd do a few things, assuming i don;t have access to 3rd party parts. first, i'd get rid of the bolt-on missile pods from the gun, and move them up to that shoulder turret that currently h...
one reason i think this would fit best in reptilian overlords is, in addition to giving that setting more stuff, these sorts of lightweight troops probably wouldn't give much entertainment in a gla...
to be honest.. i'd love something like the Birrin.. something that is very much not based on terrestrial body types, but which is just close enough you can imagine the biomechanics of how they shou...
honestly, in historicals, i'm not sure. most of my projects there are already covered by existing WGA range or one of the other companies. from a scifi perspective, i'd love to see a 'stealth spec...
so we got the full image released on FB.. On behalf of HQ, the latest Digital teaser: Death Fields Valkyries. Render is WIP and subject to change. digit...
honestly, those might work.. they could be similar to the renedra outbuildings kits. 4 walls and a roof. with the right design, you might even be able to do 2 walls and 1/2 the roof per sprue, with...
the avatar toy line currently in stores has a RDA AMP suit for $15 that is nearly perfect. it's sized to fit a 1.25 inch action figure.. which means it's basically 28mm-32mm scale. blacken out the ...
nah, i'm pretty sure that its a ammo pouch. it has the look of one fo those "universal magazine holder" type things, with the long flap and sides that fold up a bit. which lets you stuff magazines ...
@JTam pretty much. yes the different AK generations have distinctive features IRL. but by the time you shrink them down to 28mm semi-heroic scale, most of those differences vanish or become minor s...
the previews look to be made from the same image just chopped. they spliced together super easy. whatever they end up being, the mix of worn out clothes and russian style weapons means they'll...
@Caratacus based on those minis, i'd describe their equiment as "Protoss meets Vorlon"
i don't really have a quar project in mind, though making a Xenos Rampant army might be fun. but for me, the choice would be less about the lore (which is on those webpages), and more about v...
would make a good 40K "not cadian" with just the shoulder pads, the gasmask helmet head just makes it more interesting.
i suspect that lore wise, they'd range across a spectrum of sizes. from small squad sized skirmishes to full onregimental or even divisional sized battles. that said, i suspect that the teams aren...
T-26's would also be super useful for Finnish troop kits.. they were the main tank the soviets used in the winter war, and finland captured a fair number of them over the course of it. and during t...
@Grumpy Gnome the key thing with nazi's and their ilk is to get across how wrong their ideas are and to make them look bad. Brooks's method works well for comedy and less serious works. i per...
@Grumpy Gnome but to me the least interesting was the German Nazi Officer. I have seen plenty of interesting German Nazi Officer villains and was not one of them. He was goofily cart...
they look like grenades of some kind. shape is right for smoke grenades, but they could be scifi explosive or 'energy' grenades.
i think that regardless of the lore they use, i'll probably get at least a box of these. they should make good star wars like Rebellion trooper figures, if you mix in some alien heads from stargrave
i liek the use of the use of the scifi spats. given the style of hat i'm going to second the impression that these guys can be used for doing an American civil war soldiers army for Death fields. t...
with the Xenos Rampant, Stargrave, and other minis agnostic rules, there is no reason why you couldn't make use of these minis if you like their look. though to be honest, i suspect we won...
honestly early Imperial Romans wouldm't be a bad revist as well. the warlord ones are comically small (they could pass as halflings!) and whiel the Victrix ones are reasonable size (if a bit tall),...
i will say that for this sort of product, WGA may want to create a new customization sprue to use, one with a couple types of backpacks, holsters and belt pouches, grenades, scopes, various gadgets...
eh.. ideally you'd want to get as close to 1/2 the size of a normal box as possible. i would argue 11 figures is viable, especially when you consider the added customization sprue. 5 men and 6 wo...
