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...

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...
Maybe just roll all things between Alexander and the Fall of Rome into one "Classic Rome" category? I mean, that's sortof been how the Fall of Rome digital releases have been operating anyway...
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? ;)
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...
On the subject of the Mutiny sets... what is intended for British set #1 and British set #2? It's hard to vote when you really don't know what you're voting for...
@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...
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 ...
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...
There are many, many original rolls of arms now available online that have been scanned in. Pick a time and place and away you go. Battle and tournament scenes out of medieval manuscripts can also ...
They need a machine gun. Oh, wait! You gave us that too!
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.
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...
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...
@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.
In Australia, I can reccommend The War Library: https://thewarlibrary.com.au/collections/sprues-28mm
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 ...
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 ...
Yeah. Even with digitals, it can be hard to find good modern civilians (everyone seems to do Fantasy and Science Fiction...).
As soon as you see something that might be Not-40K, you can be sure it will turn out to be Not-40k...
The Apocalypse Survivor kits (Ex Wargames Factory, currently from Warlord Games) are good for civilians and cops.
@Miyuso who DON'T they work for!? Goons, Henchpersons and Thugs R Us.
As far as modern law enforcement goes, especially for Superhero game Extra-Special Weapons & Tactics types, Ooh Rah are really good. I ordered a sprue and am painting them up for this very purp...
Digital has been pretty good at catching up on the missing theme releases, but by my count we still have four missing: Word Ablaze Civilians (the female resistance *might* count, though I thought ...
Nice. Old Mordheim wonk myself (I even have a credit in the Annual), though these days I'd probably use some version of the Frostgrave rules instead of the old thing.
@Alessio De Carolis I agree, but for that to happen on more than a casual basis you probably need the miniatures wargaming community not to be overwhelmingly located in Western Europe and the USA. ...
Once we are in science fiction territory, issues such as "median height" and even gender itself tend to be more detail than problem. If it's important that a given soldier is tall and muscular, wom...
Very nice. The lighting totally sells it!
I spotted Herakles and Atalanta easily enough and I'm guessing cloak boy at the back is Jason. Which ones are Castor and Polydeuces?
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?)
@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.
Deep one Private Investigator. Combat Librarian. So many possibilities. It is a great set!
@Brendan Flynn the tracking has been reasonably accurate so far. I mean, I get that you have to wait extra from Aus warehouse to Esperance - as I have to wait for Aus warehouse to Hobart - bu...
We're also not talking stretch fabric. I think the sculpts are fine - thay have visibly female faces, visibly wider hips and visibly narrower shoulders, although the latter is obscured by the epaul...
@Colin Brinkley I'm talking about the digital files on MyMiniFactory. I know the plastic boxes have credits.
@JTam biology class was hardcore in 1916
@JTam those top guys are pure Bollywood
@Battle Specter recoil, yes. Significant recoil, especially for a vehicle mounted weapon? No. A 300 megawatt laser produces around one newton of recoil.
There are counters to EMPs. The most basic is to put your electronics in a Faraday cage (i.e. a foil box). Or ruggedise your critical circuits at the design level. I think you can count on m...
Look around for some reenactors. You cannot fully trust paintings in regard to how a uniform hangs. I'm not seeing much distinction between the two pants shown here.
I like wings as an idea. General Accoutrements could have just accessory wings - Bat Wings, Bird Wings and maybe butterfly ones. Any air force types would count. WW1 and WW2 aviators; Balloon corp...
Ehhh.... they appear to have wider hips and narrower shoulders than the male sculpts to me. Silicone boobs are far in the future.
Do we know what size skirmish it's intended for? That can vary from a handful of figures a side to a several dozen. I agree this looks very good, and a total windfall for WGA!
@JTam they made it a point to mention that World Ablaze was going to get a lot of love, so I hope not. It COULD be Napoleonic missing out this month. At least the Catholic Priests are era appropria...
The digital sculptors are credited on the boxes, but I can't seem to find any credits on the digital portal. Anyone have a list?
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" ;)
Yep, good stuff. The Aztec bodies would go well as the basis of Barsoomians, too.
