Y'all, there have been 4 teasers images of 3 separate kits over the last few weekly newsletter.

2 looked like infantry

1 looked like ogres

This newest one looks like heavy weapons and gives us a look at heads.

We are seeing multiple kits.

Also

As a way to show how physicals can interact perfectly with the digital side:

Master of the house of Darts. Mainly the Wargames Atlantic plastic Aztecs with a printed head from the digital sacrifice diorama and a back banner from the digital back banner kit.

Awesome to see this, I know there are folks on FB who kept demanding full ranges, so I think this should help chill that demand.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

i doubt it sadly as most 40K lists (and thats clearly where they're coming from) need vehicles too even if they don't need any more specialist units

**Easy E**

I am all in on this one!

That's true, but relatively low-distribution proxy vehicles are not really ideal project for plastic injection molding these days.
If (and it's a big if) WGA gets into vehicles it will almost assuredly be via 3d printing.

It's not even a big need these days as the 3d printing world is awash in very nice, affordable 40k proxy vehicles. Lots of great options already available for any of the Death Fields factions.

Plus, building Renegade vehicles is half the fun!

I have two of the Wolverines from Archon in Blood Pact colours.

Watcorp did a Kickstarter for stalk tank stls.

There is so much fun out there for Renegades.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Posted on facebook, first look at the plastic 'mob' WGA are hopefully going to be producing for Gangs of Rome (and which will then be available as a WGA box)

**lord_blackfang**

I hope it funds, but I have no reason to back Gangs of Rome myself.

**Shadow Walker**

Those roman gangsters could be useful for some generic bandits/cultists.

**KidCthulhu**

I'm with you, Shadow Walker. I could definitely find uses for those excellent models!

**Easy E**

I am interested in any Ancient models they put out.

I've funded the project to get my hands on these and some of the metal models. They are perfect for low level player characters/mooks in any kind of ancient or conanesq ancient fantasy setting.

I just wish they would make enough to consider doing a female kit as well. (I don't know that they have a plan for this, but a man can dream lol)

**Ian Sturrock**

Give a few of them pistols and rifles, and they'd make for a pretty decent 30K or Unification Wars militia, too, given the classical allusions of the Imperial Army forces of that era,

**Shadow Walker**

New SP

**RedRowan**

They look like Border reivers to me which would be very cool.

I think they are Coquistadors cavalry?

**Smokestack**

Yeah, This is the original pic they showed for the conquistador cavalry a year ago. I hope the doggo made it in to the final layout.

More plastic dogs the better!

There's a few metal female models from the original line already. However, if it's a PYO plastic female kit you want, I agree.

Agreed. Here is a blown up pic of the doggo, and another old pic of the conquistador cavalry they showed a year back.

**Shadow Walker**

They really look good running next to each other.

The sculpts looked different to me. Maybe they have reworked them.

**Carlovonsexron**

So If anyone is interested in the new romans, but hasnt pledged for the gangs of rome kickstater, you may want to- at £75,000 they plan on making a female kit. And good Gods, plastic women are hard to come by.

So they weren’t ogres /vain after all. Had my doubts on that anyway. Seemed more human now we know they are 👍. Space renegades/traitor guard!

Someone on FB though that these were Reptilian Overlords sculpting and WGA was making them into plastic. They don't look quite the same but I think the RO bits would mix in really nicely.

I like that quite a bit. Definitely a change from the sort of combinations one expects from a kit like this
