Those bases seem like the best of all worlds indeed. I hope we get all the GW sizes in due time.

I have to admit I am pleasantly surprised by those bases. Very clever design.

Green Stuff World makes hollow bases too https://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=hollow+bases&submit_search=#

Wow, those bases are great (what a world we live in, where I am impressed by bases enough to post about it online).

Grabbed some cannon fodder the other day(for Necromunda & Traitor guard/cultists & I dig them.

Great kit and very versatile. Most necromunda/gw head work with minor trimming.

Newest email is up with looks like a Roman and possible WW1 soldier?

I think that potential WWI soldier goes with whatever unit these heads are from:



I do like the scalemail guy a lot.

Dunno, looks like western officer to me (I checked and revolver/holster/kit doesn't look like Japanese ones, never mind his facial hair) which kinda doesn't fit Asian troops.

Mustache guy is either a Russian or a British WW1 officer

I'm love what I'm seeing from that late Roman scale armor

For comparsion; sneak peek picture and WW1-era Japanese uniform

^It's probably because the faces are sculpted by the same person, so it made me think they were the same kit.

Box Art WIPs for; Cannon Foder 2, Horses and WW1 British.

Looking forward to getting my hands on the Tommies.

Oh yea, generic horses.

Those will be great sellers on the store.

There's plenty of applications for them, too.

And everyone who suspected the Sneek Peak from a few weeks ago to be WW1 Japanese was correct!

I have cleaned out some off-topic chatter. Please leave this thread for actual WGA news.

Completely predictable after the Japanese.

Gonna make me some bolsheviks.

Space Brits!



New best kit so far?

Oh wow, 6 bodies per sprue?

But sadly not enough basic rifles and backpacks for the lot!

For me this is a Sludge two player starter set, gasmask pith vs gasmask trenchers!

I'm expecting there to be a second sprue, tbh.

I like the steampunk flamethrower, revolver, and sword. Not a fan of the grenade launcher (why not a PIAT-style one?) or the very generic plasma gun (could easily have been a plasma-bren or something). Bayonets look alarmingly thin and pointy for plastic, which would be OK if they were optional (for those willing to take the risk of breakage) but annoying as they are fixed to almost every rifle and don't look easy to trim off. Something about the vertical straps on the torso looks off; too curvy, I think. The shoulder and knee pads looked pretty bad in the last preview; things aren't really clear enough in this one for me to judge if they really put me off. Sprue is impressively dense, but still not up to GW standard; feels like they could have packed a few pouches, canteens, grenades, and knives in the gaps. Overall pretty impressed though; I think it's fair to say this is among the best plastic kits I've seen.

...can anyone tell me how sheathed saber with dangle pointing up makes any sense? Is it supposed to be slung across the back, point up? Is the dangle so dirty it's stiff? Is the dude with it doing superhero landing? What?

Also, why so many Mauser pistols? Yes, Soviets bought them but Russian Empire didn't, and in any case, there should be more Nagants than C96s (and I'd personally gave Soviets TK/TT pistol, not something that is commonly associated with completely different military alliance)...

My guess it's just to show off how it would look separate, like with the magic floating Mauser, or the all the floating separate guns and sabres on the Japanese render.

From previous previews, it seems these component renders are often not quite final (there are several differences between the equivalent image of the Bulldogs and items on the final sprue, for example), so maybe the cords on the swords haven't actually been posed yet, and the C96 was the only pistol they have finished sculpting, with the various arms holding them being potential options which would be narrowed down to maybe one on the actual sprue.

Aye, for example; notice the conspicious lack of randomly floating weapons, or the separate grenades, the weapon effects, the rocket launcher, and sadly the big chunky flamethrower backpack. The initial render is usually all the possible things they could include on the sprue, a good amount of which aren't going to end up on the final sprue.

(Also, they did actually also sculpt the Nagant, there's three on the sprue, in poses that exactly mirror the Mauser. So it's probably a concept thing)

These brits tempt me, hard, for a long considered and never commited too project.
