@Steffen Seitter Not to mention they should announce when the next SPQR content is coming - I've been waiting for Germanicus and those new Imperial Legionary sculpts that they teased ages ago for o...
@JTam Personally I play 'The Kingdom is Ours' for ECW. Great little ruleset, I'm just waiting for some Warlord Epic Battles ECW figures to use with it! (Have been using paper squares and rec...
@JTam Good to see a plastic teaser at last! Hmm, if it wasn't for those modern-ish shoes I would have thought it was something for Dark Ages (hey, a man can dream). But we already have a form of r...
Well, though @Charles Tottington's outburst is expletive and aggressive, I still want to add another vote in favour of WA remaining a hard plastic model-making company first and foremost. Not ever...
@Steffen Seitter @JTam To be honest it could be either Hail Caesar or Pike and Shotte that gets an Epic Battles makeover, and I'll be interested in it either way, as Ancients and ECW are both right...
I am also wondering if the Death Fields game is going to be on the scale of something like Kill Team, Necromunda and Deadzone, with some of the sport atmosphere of Blood Bowl and Dreadball. ...
@Frank Reischmann @Colin Brinkley They don't look particularly avian to me, they look more like a cross between Beastmen, Xenomorphs and Protoss. However, they're certainly an interesting aes...
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Commonwealth are British in this universe. It'd be interesting to see how they could be overlapped with the Bulldogs for WA's Death Fields. The Republic could...
@JTam I find it curious that WI claimed that the figures are 'short, narrow-shouldered and undernourished'. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that comment was the result of reviewing some of Victri...
To be honest I can sympathise with both viewpoints - on one hand, it is perfectly decent of them to put the amount you pay in toward either an existing set or the set you vote for, and you're effec...
My personal favourite is the Principality of Gwynt, because their uniforms look the closest to English Civil War uniforms, so in general I went Royalist. A pity WA aren't going to make plastic bar...
Apparently there's a Quar PS4 game that you can get from Amazon (doesn't need VR apparently): And now we won't hear from @Grumpy Gnome for the next few months 😉
To be honest I'd rather see WA continue working on the ranges they currently have before bringing out any more, especially those with only one or two sets like First Empires, Blood Oaths and Renais...
Well on one hand I was not impressed when first reading the notion of WA charging for votes for your favourite sets, but on the other, allowing these vote payments to become vouchers for use on the...
Here's a preview of WA's Blood and Plunder plastics in the upcoming Starter Set... Look pretty good. @Grumpy Gnome that is an interesting question - certainly WA have been adamant about r...
I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons for many of WA's own plastic boxes being in development purgatory is because I'm pretty sure WA have taken on the duty of sculpting all the plastic com...
@William Redford You could achieve the shieldwall if you put the figures on 20mm/25mm square bases (whichever one fits the figures the best) or in particular if you put them on rectangular multibas...
It's about time Egypt got its time in the desert sun, so that's what I voted for.
There are indeed two World Ablaze secret sets: Plus another one with the period marked 'Shhh' which I hope is going to be for a different period. I'm very surprised that the female Fren...
Never mind that we've already catered for the McBride artwork in the Goblins box (which was purposefully created to make a better version of the Wargames Factory Orc set), let's just reiterate them...
@Kein Fisher Hmm, the Empire is one of the Warhammer Fantasy ranges that remained largely intact since GW's transition to Age of Skubmar: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Warhammer-Age-o...
@Jason Kennedy I just wish they'd get on with making plastic boxed kits again after obsessing over Atlantic Digital for the past few months, it's taking up too much time that should have been spent...
In this month's issue of Wargames Illustrated, the first image of the Afghan Cavalry box can be seen in the WA advert on the back inside cover, on the right of the circle of product box images, bel...
@Grumpy Gnome To be honest they don't look like Orcs either, the veiny bodies and frog-like fingers and toes don't look particularly Orcy to me. I'd have thought that if WA wanted to make Orcs, the...
@Steffen Seitter An interesting proposition, but I thought scale armour didn't appear in the Roman army until the Late Imperial Era. Feel free to prove me wrong with any sources you may have, howev...
@Mark Dewis To be honest I really hope the preview shown by @Nanashi Anon is a replacement to the one you've shown. Wargames Atlantic really need to be more creative in their Fantasy kits and the o...
@Nanashi Anon That's got to be the Trolls - the only stuff currently on the way for Classic Fantasy are Halfling Cavalry, Trolls and Treemen, and of those three these bodies are clearly Troll-like,...
Well, that was unexpected. I thought Females was going to win the poll all day long. I personally voted Religions and Cults. @Nanashi Anon I like your suggestions for Ancients and Dark Ages - Verc...
@Alessio De Carolis I agree that that was most likely the case - certainly Gripping Beast seemed to have had this mindset with their Dark Age Warriors box being usable for standard infantry in Saxo...
Looks like Vikings are at the top of the poll anyway (which I would personally say is pointless because Gripping Beast's Vikings are fine for the armoured troops and the Goths, the upcoming Germani...
Sounds like I'll be voted out as everyone else is obsessing over females, but I went for Religions and Cults in the poll that's now up - would love to see a Druids kit in the style of North Star's ...
@Hudson Adams I like these actually, I didn't think of citizen levies as a possible interpretation of the Civilians theme. A very important (if not glamorous) component of not only Tudor armies for...
Civilians? Really? Like with the Landsknecht Ogre poll people seem to go for the weirdest choices on here. But then this is for 3D-printed stuff so if there had to be some, then better that they're...
@Grumpy Gnome Warlord actually supply metal sprues of Monmouth caps to add to any human models that aren't already wearing a headdress:
@William Ings Good find - this is another Ancients faction that could do with some attention. I would have thought it would be possible to convert most Illyrian infantry types from kitbashin...
@JTam Bronze Age Terminator... that would be a fun game idea in itself. You thought it was difficult enough to beat him in 1984 with motorised vehicles, firearms and automated factory equipm...
@Mark Dewis That is indeed a cracking idea you have there - I was looking up the Perry AWI sprues only a few days ago as a possible idea for another project and noticed that, like Warlord's ECW spr...
Because the RGD set now exists I'd rather WGA focus on other things, but as the RGD ones are not the pinnacle of sculpting greatness, if they really wanted to make an Amazons set I'd rather they ti...
@JTam Would you be thinking of Gorechosen? I seem to recall it did develop a bit of a following. A Trojan War boxed game would be great - if WGA would spend more time making new markets like this ...
@JTam I've started to notice that a lot regarding some of WA's box sets - the shots of the New Kingdom Egyptians we've seen and some of the Dark Ages Irish also look unnaturally ripped, especially ...
@Charles Tottington I thought D&D Dragonborn were based on Western dragons, rather than the Eastern ones whose heads can be seen on the Kobold models?
Interesting that the Dragon heads they chose for these were more like those of Oriental dragons rather than classic western dragons, along with the dog-like heads from older editions of D&D - t...
@JTam "1. Way too much dice rolling. Example - 20 "Barbarians" attack 9 Romans. On the charge the Barbarians roll SIXTY dice. The Romans have a sword and shield and ca...
Because my current Ancients collection is mainly made up of Britons and Imperial Romans and the Britons are easily my favourite historical faction of them all (if you hadn't guessed by my faction n...
@Steffen Seitter Better yet, I hope Warlord makes some for both standard and Epic Hail Caesar.
As soon as I saw these I thought 'Woodies!' Not that far from where I live there is a reconstructed 17th Century village called Little Woodham, and one aspect of the volunteers' own little...
@Steffen Seitter Now that's interesting - Warlord currently sell Agema's Republican Roman and Carthaginian Veteran box sets, but it would be great if they made some of their own plastics for variet...
@Mark Dewis Nope, with so many ancient civilisations out there still lacking plastic box sets, there's no such thing as enough love for Ancients.
@JTam While I like the existing plastic Romans, Celts and Greeks Warlord make, I certainly agree they could certainly put more effort into making some new Ancients plastics - it's obvious as to the...
Almost went for Pirates as I developed the thread for fantasy pirates, but in the end I went for Egypt - Egypt has huge potential for both Classic Fantasy and Death Fields, as well as Medieval Isla...
