@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...
@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...
