Buggies/IFVs - Compare & contrast ......posted in General Chatter
@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...

What would Einherjar Heavy Weapons and Command look like?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
well that would give the new Votann players in 40K a source of stuff to replicate the old squats.

What would you guys even do to fix this sad excuse for a Space Marine?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
@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...

Raumjäger Support Weapon Conceptsposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
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...

What would you guys even do to fix this sad excuse for a Space Marine?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
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...

Things you'd like to seeposted in General Chatter
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...

What would you like to see for other races beyond humans?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
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...

Things you'd like to seeposted in General Chatter
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...

WGA Plastic Terrain?posted in General Chatter
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...

Asking for help on finding a Mech/Light Walker solution.posted in General Chatter
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 ...

Sneak Peek: What's Behind the Curtain?posted in General Chatter
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 ...

Multiple Warsaw Pact Nations Combi Kitposted in General Chatter
@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...

Sneak Peek: What's Behind the Curtain?posted in General Chatter

Lets talk factions: Speculationposted in Iron-Core: Mark Mondragon's Universe
@Caratacus based on those minis, i'd describe their equiment as "Protoss meets Vorlon"

Alwyd, the world of the Quar has a number of factions. Which do you prefer?posted in Quar!
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...

I tried digitally kitbashing the rebel yellposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
would make a good 40K "not cadian" with just the shoulder pads, the gasmask helmet head just makes it more interesting.

Scale of a Death Fields gameposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
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...

Suggestions For New Soviet Kitsposted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945
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...

Spanish Civil Warposted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945
@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...

Teaser for Tuesday...posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
they look like grenades of some kind. shape is right for smoke grenades, but they could be scifi explosive or 'energy' grenades.

Teaser for Tuesday...posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
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

Teaser for Tuesday...posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
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...

Don`t be afraid to buy Iron Core,posted in Iron-Core: Mark Mondragon's Universe
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...

Marian Late Republican Romans / Augustinian Imperial Romans?posted in First Empires: From the Rise of Akkadia to the Fall of Alexander
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),...

Cannon Fodder III?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
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...
-
Cannon Fodder III?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
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...

Cannon Fodder III?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Brian Van De Walker that is actually why i say the closer you can get to $15 the better. resellers always mark up their sprues, and if you want the product to be more attractive than just buying f...

mantic ogres are more classic fantasy barbarians. Asymetrical scraps of metal plate over leather harnesses, exposed arms to show off muscles, etc.

What Dark Ages sets would you like to see next?posted in Blood Oaths: After Rome Falls, Who Will Conquer?

Cannon Fodder III?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
doing a third box might be tricky sales wise, since it takes sales away from the two dedicated boxes. (and i suspect the male only box will be the most popular anyway, given the general mindset of ...

Is the time right for 'Not-Numenoreans"?posted in Classic Fantasy
having some sort of 'high fantasy Men at Arms" would be neat, and if they are designed so they could be used as numenoreans, great. but make them general enough so they could be Atlanteans, or Valy...

Is the time right for 'Not-Numenoreans"?posted in Classic Fantasy
i've not watches the series yet (its on my list) but IMO most of the non-GW Numenorean/Gondorian/Arnorian figure needs can be done using the WGA late Roman figures and giving them different heads a...

WGA Plastic Terrain?posted in General Chatter
@JTam it isworth noting that a lot of the Warlord Boltaction terrain kits were originally created for 20mm/1:72 scale diaramas by Italeri, and as a result end up way too small for the 28mm figures....

Late Romans sprue questionposted in Decline and Fall: Imperial Rome at War 284-476 AD

Late Roman Legion for Dux Britanniarum?posted in Decline and Fall: Imperial Rome at War 284-476 AD

It is worth noting that in Mantic's Ogre lore, their society is matriarchal, and both male and female ogres enage in warfare. One reason so many male ogres go into mercenary work is to get away fro...

Would you want 'generic' 28mm dinosaurs?posted in Classic Fantasy

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
@JTam i am aware of the origins of starcraft, and the lore of 40K. My point was that the specific shot angles and format is too similar to the SC vid to not be intentional, especially given that th...
