@Brian Van De Walker I didn't know it was believed that the Picts were the source of 'little mound dweller' myths, any particular sources?
@Steffen Seitter Well that's Warlord to a T, always sparing no expense toward producing more drivel for their favourite and least interesting setting (in that regard they're just like GW with their...
@Lord Marcus It looks like the culprit has already had their post removed by another of the mod team. But then, kudos to the mods for getting that sorted.
Well, GW have officially returned Gnomes to Warhammer Fantasy canon (Blood Bowl canon at least): https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/03/02/warhammer-world-anniversary-gnomes-bring-animals-ill...
This is definitely a subject that's been missing from plastic for far too long, the only plastic Native Americans thus far are Warlord's Woodland Indians, and though those look decent and are proba...
Certainly Huns are a big gap in the market considering the terror they caused during the Late Roman era. If we're going for a specific Hun set, then it sounds as if we could also ask for other Ste...
@Andrew Fernandez For Gauls or Germans you'll want either Warlord or Victrix's Celts or Ancient Germans respectively - these warriors are, by contrast, for Dark Ages warfare, from about 500 to 1000...
@Hudson Adams I'd rather see something different from the generic, dull velociraptor designed to appease the Jurassic Park/World fanatics (GW have already gone down that route with first their Dar...
@Hudson Adams I'm curious as to why there are both armoured and unarmoured bodies in this set, as opposed to the Goths who have purely unarmoured bodies. I doubt the Franks were any more renowned t...
@Hudson Adams Looking good so far, I'm a fan of the included moustache heads there - if the set is to be a truly generic 'Dark Age Warrior' set then moustache heads are a must for making the 'run-o...
@Lord Marcus I believe we have a spammer above.
@graham I agree that the fantastical elements of the Mierce Welsh shouldn't be included (though the hoods and cloaks on the Helwyr look cool and wouldn't have been unheard of, especially on scouts ...
I've noticed WA have trialled some Welsh sculpts on WA Digital: Clearly they didn't read my post in this thread expressing my wish for an alternative approach to Dark Age Welsh (but then it was ...
Having joined the developing Facebook page for this game, I've noticed a good few leaks coming out regarding gameplay: It will be a big skirmish/small battle, squad-level game, with 30-60 models...
@Charles Tottington There aren't any Eagle Warrior options in the Aztec box at all. There are heads for Jaguar Warriors, and heads with pointy hoods that fans of the Medieval II Total War Americas ...
I think we could do with some Incas as well, as they could certainly have had different equipment to the Aztecs. Also, how are WA going to deal with the lack of Eagle Warriors in the Aztecs box?
@Gregor the Converter The Grognard horse cavalry that are coming out in plastic were never in Vox Populi, they were a Digital set originally. The Vox Populi set you were thinking of was the 'Grogna...
An interesting development has appeared on the horizon - Brethren, a skirmish wargame for both Ancients and Dark Ages (which will doubtlessly include the Decline and Fall period): https://www.bret...
@Matthew Williamson I'm certainly interested to see the Merovingian Franks as well, though with the advent of Vox Populi they'll likely be pushed down the queue as more nurks keep voting for Halfli...
@Don Williams Those are all certainly fair points... though the right arm issue can be resolved simply by cutting the right arms off and swapping them around as one sees fit (I was able to do hand ...
@JTam Strange to see a crowdfunder actually drop rather than rise, unless some backers are for some reason abandoning their pledges? Though I thought with these things that once you've pledged, you...
@JTam Like others, I must say that those 'hounds' look much better than expected. I thought they'd just be some cheap Chaos Warhound knock-offs, but those are much better. I wonder if WA was inspi...
What a good idea! I trust you're fielding these as a Tau army with Guard allies for the lasgun troops?
@Slow Painter Good shout, I would also add that Napoleon's Wars needs an apostrophe. Yes I am a spelling and grammar policeman, and blooming well proud of it.
@JTam Think I'm a troll, do you? I have just as much right to an opinion as you do. Just because I don't always agree with you on things and I'm not always happy at things WA release, it doe...
@JTam Not really, given that plastic is superior to both metals and 3D-prints in terms of kit-bashability, customisation, ease of assembly, quality of sculpting... need I go on?
@JTam In the case of the Sinbad crew, we don't need an STL when there is already a good plastic kit for the subject in question.
@JTam Indeed it is one model from the Victrix plastic Celtic Chariot kit.
@JTam Hmm, we already have those from North Star:
To be honest though everyone says these are intended to be Traitor Guard, I see the prevalence of Autoguns to mean the set as is is more intended for Chaos Cultists and Imperialis Militia, though o...
@Brian Van De Walker @Vitor Soares To be honest if the Prussian Army Builder is anything to go by, I wouldn't be surprised if the Roman and German army builders are going to have less options and p...
@Steffen Seitter Looking good! It'll be interesting if they manage to get Hail Caesar Epic Battles out in the same year as Pike and Shotte. I'm looking forward to seeing what their Celts look like!
@Harry Voelkel WA have said in the past that all the sets in Vox Populi will definitely be made, but I certainly share your irritation and concern - these great-sounding sets will inevitably be pus...
EM4 miniatures also makes an affordable Gladiator miniatures game with some metal models: https://em4miniatures.com/collections/ludus-gladiatorius-the-game Not to mention the usability of Gladiat...
WA have announced it on their side as well: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/new-roman-plastic-preview Good to hear that there will be Gladiator parts as well, so it looks as if a Slave Re...
They look great, so far! I think WA are onto a winner here!
@JTam Depends on which Romans you're referring to. If you're talking about Early Imperial Romans wearing Segmentata, then no, we don't need any more sculpts of those, as we have solid kits from War...
@JTam SPQR also has a similar faction in the form of the Slave Revolt army list that was showcased in an issue of Wargames Illustrated. Those plastic Gangs of Rome miniatures will be great for Trai...
Who else is excited about this? https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/gangs-of-rome-kickstarter-and-plastic?comment=130426077282#comments It's about time WA gave their Ancients ranges s...
@Bill Thomas Er, the Landsknecht Ogres kit also makes sci-fi Ogres as the Vain, so we don't need a second sci-fi Ogre set.
This chap has created some excellent ideas for Weird War 1, and it'd be great if some of this was incorporated into 'A War Transformed': https://www.deviantart.com/dewitteillustration/gallery/7519...
I'm certainly interested in these rules - they have a lot of potential! Trenchpunk units with a Medieval and/or Ancient feel? Yes please! Druids and creatures from Celtic Paganism fighting alongs...
More than just Zombies, A War Transformed has a huge amount of model potential for Pagan priests and creatures from Celtic, Teutonic and Old English folk mythology, even Wicca, as these old religio...
@Big Boi If you want a Late Ancients/Early Dark Ages ruleset that doesn't need any tweaking straight out of the box, the main three have already been covered - Saga: Age of Invasions, Dux Britannia...
@JTam I agree that Agema could do more in the way of advertising, and it would be great if they made more plastics instead of focusing mainly on metals as they're currently doing, but I'm pretty su...
Slavic factions in history rarely found success with super-heavy units in the way that, for example, France did with the Medieval Knight, so I think it would be more fitting for a futuristic Polish...
Well I personally can't stand those shameless attempts to cash-in on the surge in popularity of Sisters of Battle. Another pointless waste of WA's time and effort, and again it's a good job these a...
@JTam Those 15mm ECW look great! Really looking forward to picking some of those up for my Kingdom is Ours games!
@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...
