and a horn, and another generic oval center boss.

I do like the cow though.

re: Cow. It's so we can collect a herd of them and stampede them towards the enemy, throwing their battle line in disarray. Although in the link below, the examples cited were failures.

Hannibal Barca used cattle as a distraction in the night Battle of Ager Falernus which allowed him to escape the trap the Romans had set.

Perhaps WGA will provide sci-fi bits for the cows so they can participate in the Death Fields.

It certainly looks much better than just the pics of what you're getting in the bundle.

Does this style of announcement look better?

It certainly looks much better, you could slap the pic of the sallet helms themselves under the pic of the box and it'd be pretty snazzy.

And in other news, Boxer Rebellion sprue layout!
I'm a fan of the oversized meat cleaver and the general variety of weapons included.

I've been waiting to run a Fu Manchu campaign since the 1920s!

I'm down for Kwan do & spears!

It's one step closer to having some sort of tabletop wuxia game, so I'm all for it!

I need those Boxers so badly

Also, note that the models seem to be made for slotta bases, which makes things sooo much easier for me

Nah, they're gonna have really small integrated bases, like the rest of Wargames Atlantic historicals.

Well, even with tiny integrated bases I'm super hyped for this release

for reference, the technical term is "puddle base" according to TMP

Why do they continue to put those integral bases into minis?

I guess because it makes the minis usable even without providing separate bases. I dont like the puddle bases but dont really mind them either.

It makes it easier for me to attach them to washers. Covers the center hole great!

Most figures are for historical rank and file games, where typically multi bases are used. Without a puddle bases the would be a major pain in the back to attach. Figures like the Grognards which are rather used in skirmish games with single basing, are produced without base.
If you don't want a base, cut it off. It's much easier to cut a base off then to add a base that is just as resilient. This goes especially for figures that stand on one foot. They are a nightmare when done without integral base (Mantic, I am looking at you...)

Utter poppycock. Puddle bases are cancer at all times ESPECIALLY for multibasing. How the hell are you even multibasing with puddle bases, you'd need to attach all models before texturing the base and then try to apply filler and gak around the feet of painted models. The only time puddle bases make sense is on green army men for 5 year olds.

That may be true for Kings of War style multibasing, but typically historical multibasing is simpler. For example, what I'm used to is three 25mm infantry in a single rank on a 50mm x 25mm base for a Napoleonic infantry company. One can glue the flock around the puddle bases.

Now I agree that multibasing KoW style where one tries to make a mini diorama on a movement tray is a pain with puddle bases, and all I was doing was desert sand. Had to glue the painted figure to the base, then glue the sand, then paint the sand around the painted figures. And that was just for a Infantry Troop of ten figures on a 40mm x 100mm stand! Not looking forward to basing my Northern Alliance Clansmen on the 80mm x 100mm (and I can only get about 16 figures on that size tray anyway).
