Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
it seems ot me that you could get a fair degree of customizability between trooper, recon, command, support, etc style suits by using a system similar to the warhammer 40K Tau battlesuits. have mos...

Ooh Rah preparing to "Get Some"posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
i'm just trying to figure out why the rifles have a featureless rectangular bar at the end instead of say, barrels for the rifle and grenade launcher?

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
@Yronimos Whateley Mobile Suit Gundam: Most figures looked more like "Shogun Warriors" or Neon Genesis "EVA" suits, but this model is very close to what I had always pictured the MI ...

Powered Armoured Mobile Infantryposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
when it comes to Starship Tropers depictions, the version i prefer that actually depicted something akin to the book's suits is the anime, Uchū no Senshi. its one of the few attempts to depic...

Discrepancies in Terminologyposted in General Chatter
@Estoc Narrative Game: Story is the focus. this is how i always understood this term, but if you look at the major minis companies like games workshop, they use "narrative game" as cod...

Salvaged Shadowkeshposted in Iron-Core: Mark Mondragon's Universe
Do we know if WGA got the rights to make any of these "in progress" designs? While i doubt they'd do the vehicles any time soom (especially the titans), but these shadowkesh aliens would be interes...

Hobgoblinsposted in Classic Fantasy
worth noting that part of the reason that japanese, chinese, and mongolian armor and weapons have so much visual simularities is because the japanese and mongolian gear is largely influenced by old...

had the issue again today.. short term solution, if you hit the problem, clear your history and cookies. that resolved it for me.

New Friday Poll up - Ultra Moderns/Near Future - win prizes!posted in General Chatter
i mostly picked the 'third world' forces, with a few near future things i thought would sell well. pretty much every moderns ruleset i've heard of in 28mm has focused on peacekeeping ops, anti-ter...

Goblin Command Ideasposted in Classic Fantasy
in the book, LOTR orcs/goblins seemed to use cloth banners like everyone else. just with their own iconography. (the red eye for Sauron/mordor, the white hand for Saruman/isengard, etc. the witchki...

How many kits would a full Death Fields team have?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
honestly, i would hope that the game focuses on slightly smaller forces. platoon sized forces which the minimum sized force for can be built using a single box, and a large army would use two boxes...

Dwarf ideasposted in Classic Fantasy
@Yronimos Whateley For me, "Dwarf Adenturers" always brings these guys from Time Bandits (1981) to mind, and it's always a bit sad to me that nobody ever makes any dwarf adventurers quite like t...

Next for the range?posted in Renaissance: Gunpowder, Mercenaries & Kings
@Ethan Gilbert honestly Cossacks vs Ottoman Jannisaries would make for a really good pairing of sets. especially since they were regular enemies historically. though i'd say that the Jannisaries ne...

Goth Army Builder: Archers included?posted in Decline and Fall: Imperial Rome at War 284-476 AD

Plastic Multipart Giantposted in Classic Fantasy
to give an idea.. here is their old Storm giantess mini next to a 28mm figure. and this is their new cloud giantess mini next to the old one.

Plastic Multipart Giantposted in Classic Fantasy
honestly, i think you'd get better sales if you did the giants closer to the recent Reaper Bones size of giants.. so you can fit two or three into a kit. sure they're smaller than the GW and mantic...

Monstrous Infantry-size Dragonborn/Dragon-Menposted in Classic Fantasy
honestly, you could make dragon-men as a supporting kit for the Lizardmen, and take the same "cave people meets VSF" approach it has, with fairly generic 'barbarian' gear, but also some parts to ma...

Kobolds and how Wizkids failed us.posted in Classic Fantasy
seems to me that if you do the tails as fairly generic and use clothing that covers most of the body, that in 28mm you could include both lizard and dog style heads as variants on the sprue.

Discussion - Scale of WGA Vehiclesposted in General Chatter
Part of the disconnect between minis and vehicle sizes I think stems from the fact that rulesets are evolving. Older rulesets tended to be more representational with abstract ground scaling. Visual...

any idea how long till the late roman army builder set?posted in Decline and Fall: Imperial Rome at War 284-476 AD
Given that the late roman infantry in lorica hamata set talks up an upcoming army builder set, I find it odd that we've not really had much mention of when said set should be expected. As someone w...

Light Vehicles Possibilitiesposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
