Cheap smaller scale Gundams might be worth looking at. A gundam is meant to be about 18m tall, so at 1:200 it stands 9cm. 1:200 is a pretty popular vehicle scale and you can definitely get pl...

Goblin Samuraiposted in Classic Fantasy
Frostgrave is currently the best source for female 28mm parts, IMHO. Soldiers II, Wizards II and they're coming up on female Barbarians. It would not surprise me if a distaff version of the Knights...

Goblin Samuraiposted in Classic Fantasy
I agree with the consesus that the WGF samurai are fiddly, but there are useful bits. Definitely keeping an eye on Fireforge, though. My best efforts with WGF Japanese were heavily converted warri...

Cursed Pirate Crew - Arr!posted in Classic Fantasy
@William Redford no, never saw that. I'm not a horror fan as a rule, though I do like Jamie-Lee. I'll see if I can get some pictures of my old Mordheim Ghost Pirates. Largely unpainted; mostly a m...

Goblin Samuraiposted in Classic Fantasy
Nice idea. I have a pile of the old WGF Samurai kits. Those would likely suit this concept as well. For that matter, Japanese armour with a monster head is your basic Oni.

My Ongoing Conquistadors (and related stuff)posted in Painting & Modeling
Late to comment, but nice to see the old WGF Numidians getting some love. Very handy torsos those. Never much liked the Amazons, though. I've struggled to find much use at all for that box.

Fantasy options. Include a sprue in boxes or as a separate purchase only.posted in Classic Fantasy
While I support a zombification sprue, regular zombie kits do provide a slew of spare heads and arms. My original GW zombie box that was bought to make Blood Bowl figures in the late 90's continued...

Plastic kit idea. (monks)posted in General Chatter
@William Redford fully agree. You can do a little with the Fireforge peasant set, but it's pretty crude. Frostgrave can come to the rescue a little there with their female wizard set. The female s...

I think the problem with *historical* monks is... just a lack of historical monks taking up arms. Victrix pretty much nailed most of the demand by putting one on their dark age command sprues. The...

Apart from the exact match on the Victrix dark age command sprues, you can get very close with the Frostgrave wizards: Use the body lower right on this picture - full robes and rope belt. Variou...

We need to talk about Artilleryposted in The Great War: The War to End All Wars 1914-1918
As a further point... the allies had little to no need to develop anti tank guns in WW1, and so effectively didn't. The Germans only built 20 rather crap tanks, alongside some use of captured Allie...

Conquistador Halflingsposted in Painting & Modeling
Warlord designed their ECW kits to do double duty as 30YW, which is why there's a few head sprues.

Robots!posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
Would LOVE a robot kit. Saleswise it may be a good idea to offer kit options to cover the Necron/Terminator look, though. Make the default guns a bit Necronish, have a skull head option. Kee...

What would you like to see for other races beyond humans?posted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!
Space kitties are all over the genre. You have Larry Niven's Kzin (which crept into Trek), Traveller's Aslan, C.J. Cherryh's Hani and plenty of others. An easy seller, I'd have thought. Three poin...

Using the space nam guys as Necromunda Goliaths?posted in Reptilian Overlords
Likely to match with current 40K standard, I'd think. I'm considering head swapping in to make big guy aliens. The hyper-Rambo look leaves me pretty flat, but stick on a Gnoll head or a Reptile ma...

I would think they'd be fine. They're clearly designed as proxy Catachans, so I expect they're scaled to suit 40K pretty much exactly.

Plastic WWI Tanksposted in The Great War: The War to End All Wars 1914-1918

A Merry Band of Misfits - An Upgrade Sprue Conceptposted in Classic Fantasy
Excellent concept. Some of those - especially Elves - could justify a sprue of their own, if demand for them at skirmish unit or army level were there. Tails would be handy on the frame as well.

Plastic kit idea. (monks)posted in General Chatter
Having said all that, a kit with robed figures is a great idea. I'd mix it up with medieval, science fiction and occult options. Wizards, monks, cultists, Jedi and ceremonial guards.

Actually, most of the good bits are on the command sprue. If you source those instead of the general kit it might be better: Fireforge do sell this sprue seperately at ten Euro. The Teutonic one...
