If I said that I thought that the Les Grognards were the worst wargames figures ever, it's only because I want nobody else to buy them so I can have them all to myself.

What possible rules could there be for bubble quad guns?

The spare Command arms do bring a lot more variety to the original infantry set.












The bar has been set high and I am looking forward to the Space Brits.

After Cannon Fodder and sci fi Lizards of course.

Don't know what rules you could use for the quad gun, but its a cool addition.

Are you going to dremel the mortar barrels?

I don't normally bother with drilling barrels.

Yeah I've been having lots of fun building my Grognard heavy weapons. I'm planning on using (as Imperial Guard in 40k) the mortar as a mortar, the quad gun as a heavy bolter, the tri barreled gun as an autocannon, and the single barreled gun as a lascannon. I just figure each individual gun on the quad cannon is a bit smaller than the other heavy weapons but makes up for it via rate of fire - and heavy bolters are lower strength but higher rate of fire than the rest.

Now I've got an idea for a command platform/mech that has a quad gun on each corner.

Does anyone know if the Les Grognards body width is similar to GW skitarii? I'm trying to go for a fancy regalia for Dark Mechanicum Thralls & already have some with a similar look.

The Raumjager will slot perfectly into my traitor guard with some chaosification.

The skitarii arms work well with les grognards and need only minor modification to fit.

@Lord Marcus: do you know if WGA would consider a european distribution hub, similar to the deal with Sarissa in the UK?
Now that Brexit is a thing, thats pretty useless outside the UK.
There's quite a few shops doing the same thing for different US companies from germany, france, poland etc.

The official stance, which can be corroborated based on facebook posts:

We have several distributors in the EU and they can be found on our Where to Buy page on the site. Right now there's a lot of hysteria about Brexit and shipping and so far our stuff hasn't been impacted. Sarissa who does our UK/EU fulfillment has contingency plans in place if shipping becomes an issue.

Lord Marcus, I know WGA has a lot on it on their plate but is there any indications of expanding the Raumjager line?



I could really use some weapons teams or even a command sprue.

We have said a heavy weapon/command kit is in the pipeline.

Where in that pipeline I cannot confirm or deny.

That's the reason I'm going to be slightly more conservative with my initial builds of Space Brits when they arrive.

Something along the lines of seven or eight strong squads to leave space for the arrival of heavy weapons and communications gear.

Time will deliver all.

Any word on when Lizard preorders are shipping in the US? I want to time it so I’m reading the Worldwar series when they arrive for maximum hobby energy.

Sure. from our latest weekly update on the website.

Lizardmen and Prussian Reserve - our first Army Builder set are out now and shipping to pre-order customers in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia!

These sets are on the water for the US and UK and scheduled at the ports by the end of the month. So we are on track for our March release.

Not keen myself, reminds me of WGF’s orcs (now sold by WLG). Looks chintzy and boring IMO. Orcs and gobbos should probably be left to WLG or North Star while WGA focuses on more marginal stuff like Lizardmen with muskets.

Not a fan of that goblin but I was not a fan of Oathmark's ones too. I guess only GW like ones give me my goblinessness (yeah, made this word up) thrill.

I don't mind the overall style and have thought about getting the WF/WL ones on occasion, but the open hands are just a big no. These combined with the Oathmark set could make for a very nicely variable, rag-tag group of orcoids, and I like that they're a bit on the smaller side too.
