Sprue Game submissions need to be researched better before voting startsposted in General Chatter
iirc it was labelled "tells us anything else", and in a place usually used on submission forms for unrelated comments/messages. so i took it as a general message field for feedback, and not present...

Sprue Game submissions need to be researched better before voting startsposted in General Chatter
personally i kinda wish they'd included a "desbribe your idea" field with say, a 300 character limit. (comparable to a twitter/bluesky post) to make it clearer to WGA what was being suggested, and ...

Dwarf ideasposted in Classic Fantasy
they live in mountains, but pretty much every version of dwarves also includes crossing other regions to travel to more distant dwarf settlements in other mountain ranges. as well as trade with sur...

Dwarf ideasposted in Classic Fantasy
Personally I'm inclined to say dwarves shouldn't have cavalry. instead, if they're fighting on the surface, they should have war wagons or something. Maybe channel some hussite ideas, with armored ...

general musings on the range as a wholeposted in Death Fields/Death Fields Arena: The Greatest Sport is War!
I don't think that a conversion kit for non-WGA vehicle models would sell all that well. That said, you could easily do a WGA vehicle kit that includes two or more ways of building a tank.. one wit...

28mm cowboysposted in Vox Populi
I don't see cowboys selling in large bulk.. mainly because american west centric gaming with cowboys/gunfighters tends towards small skirmish level rules. Large games in the genre/setting tend to ...

Dwarf ideasposted in Classic Fantasy
i wouldn't mind a few nods to Discworld dwarves if a kit gets done. they're fairly stereotypical on the whole, with their axes, chainmail garments, etc. but you could add some 'deep-downer' heads (...

20mm Round Multi-use Basesposted in Vox Populi
i would like to see these as well, in part because a lot of games like Kings of War still use a 20mm square base as the foundation of their movement trays/multibases sizes, and with the new line of...

Pulp Adventures, Survivors, Agents, and Operators Upgrade Kit!posted in General Chatter
P90's are in the agentss kit aren't they? and they're cross compatible with the other kits. i've seen some rather good SG1 kitbashes using the operators and agents kits alreadly

medieval skeleton upgrade kitposted in Vox Populi

medieval skeleton upgrade kitposted in Vox Populi
@Brian Van De Walker honestly i think saxons would be slightly more useful, since if it's just sword arm and head swaps to fit to the standard bodies, you could use nasal helms and the round shield...

Eastern European Renaissance Troopsposted in Vox Populi
the Wallachian armies in the 15th century were equipped similar to russian armies, so yeah they and the Moldavian armies of the time could be covered mostly by headswaps. it is worth noting that t...

Convert WA Persians to Sassanidsposted in First Empires: From the Rise of Akkadia to the Fall of Alexander
doing some quick research.. conditional yes. you'll want to use the "cooking pot" hats and unhelmeted heads, but otherwise the outfits and weapons should be close enough. which is slightly...

Late Republican Romans and "Friends" on the Horizon?posted in Grand Battle Scale
early imperial romans are one of the more popular aesthetics for fantasy settings to steal for their human kingdoms, so getting romans in 10mm would go over well for a lot of people i think. thoug...

138th Brakkus "Hull Breakers" (Spacenam)posted in Painting & Modeling

Police/Detectivesposted in Vox Populi

More orc kits?posted in Grand Battle Scale
@Vitor Correia you are going to have to define what you mean better then, because "modern" is not really descriptive. especially if you cite Weta's LOTR/Hobbit film Orcs as "not modern"

WW1 Dungeon Crawler / Fort Vaux Box Set Ideaposted in The Great War: The War to End All Wars 1914-1918
I think you could rig the ruleset to allow both head to head battles, or as a "castle defense" game with elements of space hulk. you just have the "castle defense" version be a different set of sce...
