Digital has several kits they work for this. German Seebatalion is appropriate, as is the British Indian kit... aside from the niggling detail of being armed with the SMLE instead of Lee-Enfield Mk...

Theme for May 2024 releases?posted in Atlantic Digital
In practical terms, everything pre-Medieval tends to be considered "Ancients" in the Wargaming scene, using the same rules, attracting the same players and so forth. So yeah, I think I agree...

Theme for May 2024 releases?posted in Atlantic Digital

I thought that might have been what's going on. @Hudson Adams Hmmm... now that Might of Rome is a store category, are we getting a thirteenth monthly digital set? ;)

Stl Scalingposted in Atlantic Digital
Because resins and resin print settings vary a bit, the best advice I can offer is to use a reference figure that you have printed (I use one of the European peasants). You will be able to see in y...

Chivalric Heraldryposted in The Age of Chivalry
@Big Boi No worries. Funeral sculpture is another solid source for this, especially if you have a later source for the arms (even a modern one) and just need evidence it was in use in the period yo...

The twelth tribe...posted in The Age of Chivalry
There aren't any Mongols or medieval Arabs in digital yet to transfer- just Huns (Roman era), pre-Islamic Arab Spearmen and very post-medieval Arabs. But I agree that some would be welcome! While ...

The twelth tribe...posted in The Age of Chivalry
So... with the (very welcome) addition of Age of Chivalry, are we looking at getting another range added to Digital? There's certainly a lot of scope for 1150 - 1320 troops of all sorts. Muslims, P...

Near Future United Nationsposted in Vox Populi
Ooh Rah are credibly near future. I'm using them for ESWAT cops for superhero games. Arm swaps for modern weapons and honestly they're good for actual current police.

Early Cavalry Samuraiposted in Vox Populi
Everyone does Sengoku period; no one does the Genpei War, which is what we're talking about here. No guns, no Ashigaru per se. No katana, wakizashi or two swords being a thing. Just Tachi. Althoug...

Vox Populi - Multi Purpose Elves (Fantasy/Death Fields)posted in Vox Populi
Plastic has to have a market to be worth it. Lizardmen probably got guns because reptile aliens are a common thing in SF and almost mandatory in Victorian SF on Venus. Realistically, any plastic E...

@Tyler Patchin you can use the weapon arms from most of the 19thC, WW1 and WW2 sets, digital or plastic. One of the really nice things about digital is that any part is infinite. And able to be mi...

Four New Sets Droppedposted in Atlantic Digital
@Brian Van De Walker It's a bit like that. I was dubious about the waist arm body on the teaser, but once it was revealed that's for a four arm alien it all suddenly made sense! Great set.

Little Big Hornposted in Imperial Conquests: Battles in the Age of Empires 1815-1914
The Perry Cavalry are pretty adaptable. I turned some into late century British lancers using loose pith helmets from the old old Wargames Factory Zulu War British. You get three guidon poles in a ...

Would Siocast be a good way to plug in the gaps and diversify WA's line?posted in General Chatter
My guess also that while Siocast may have some attraction for a metal moulding outfit that has yet to invest in hard plastic production assets, it's probably no cheaper for a firm that already has ...

What would Einherjar Heavy Weapons and Command look like?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
Death Fields lore has them taken from Viking era though. Later Swedish styles wouldn't be appropriate (unless there's some top ups taken later?)

Free Mini for international Women's Dayposted in Atlantic Digital
@JTam anything's removable with a sharp knife. But I expect like most digital files you can do a bit of pre-printing adjustment. Moving a small slab onto the icon would do it. Or another logo.

Sweet stuff. Alien heads does solve perceived proportion issues with the chonk torsos and awkward arm angles. "That looks out of proportion..." "Don't be racist" ;)
