Oh hey, scenery!

Always wanted a HIPS clothes line, I feel the tiny GW ropes don't break often enough

Ah, OK. So its not just a camp followers set, but a camp set... Even better. That will be usefull for many settings.
And the PMC looks good as well.

I hope there will be some news on the sets that have been in development for ages now, like spanish infantry and indian mutiny British.

If you mean the Napoleonic Spanish, they're still being sculpted.

Vote on next releases!

Remember that you're free to vote for whatever you want, but if you vote Landsknechts Ogres you get buried in the woods behind my house.

Raptor Cavalry?
No need to look at any other option.

I voted for Death Fields Ooo Rah (Space Modern Americans), and modern operators for historical, but also for early 20th C Japanese and Russians, who will go great with my IG Mordians

The news update is worth reading in it's entirety. Here are some key points:

TLR It took us longer than we thought to get US production going. Now it’s working great but we have a lot of catching up to do and we’re sorry for the delays. Also Vote on New Stuff!

We wrapped up 2021 (the halfway mark of our second year) having just completed a major move. We took all our molds out of China and set up shop here in the US. There was a learning curve to get the molds running at the same efficiency as our highly experienced team in China. A very STEEP learning curve!

After many false starts - and assumptions that we were on track (but weren’t) - we finally, actually, got on track. The team is now operating the molds with sub 25 second cycle times which translates into over 100,000 frames produced each month while operating on three shifts/7 days per week. On top of this we’ve just had a second injection press installed so that that capacity is doubled. Ultimately, after a lot of pain and frustration and scratching heads, we’ve finally got this system locked in.

Moving production to the US is good news, and not just for patriotic/worker safety/salary reasons but it also means they can do runs to meet short term demand. A shipment from China requires ordering 100s if not 1000s of boxes and waiting for ships. The bad news is UK orders still go by ship so resupplies will take a while.

Voted for raptor cavalry, merovingians, werewolves, kobolds, and treemen.

So, obviously I voted for Landsknecht Ogres...

Okay I voted for raptors because they sound cool and the freemen. I can always use more treepeople. For the sci-fi one it had to be raptor cavalry and historicals was too much choice although my favourite period (12th century western Europe) wasn't there.

Those are just death fields amis right

Kind of surprised that the 'American' faction is more modern / Aliens than Cold-War / Predator. Seems like a lot of overlap with Raumjaeger stylistically. Absolutely loving the amount of gear on these guys though, as well as the layered vest and short-sleeves look.

Yeah, looks like them.

I too am team Raptor (Cavalry and Solo), Valkir, G-Men & Gangsters

and from the historicals camp followers are a must as i said i'd buy them if they actually made them during their april fools appearence

raptor cavalry! amazing!

I'd love some Raptor Cavalry too tbh
But i'd rather WGA fleshes out some of the other Death Field lines

Bring on the 1930s'

So many good things to vote for. I had to vote for camp followers. The render teasers looked great and I can always use civilians.

So raptor cavalry - is rhat people riding raptors? Or raptor mounts only? Or raptors riding people?

Or little oviraptors riding huge utahraptors?

Enquiring minds...

Given it's classified under Grognards, I imagine it's the French riding raptors.

Really liking these guys and their Aliens vibes. I may pick up a box or two for Sci-AFI projects if the sprues look good!

Some Space Bugs alongside these guys would make for a good Starship Troopers/Aliens game set up.

I left this as a suggestion as an "Other" vote. Perhaps if enough people suggest the same thing, it will happen. Although not in the same words or it will just look like one person spamming.

Ant-like alien “Bugs”. Warriors with hi-tech weapons (like Death Fields), and workers. Worker arms would have large claws, while the warrior arms would be capable of fine manipulation.

Doesn't WA already make giant spiders with guns?

Yeah, but they're not bug-like aliens in the veins of Starship Troopers which I presume this person is refering to

They're asking for different space bugs.

Always the problem with sci fi and fantasy, your Landshrek Ogres are nice but don't match my vision of Landshrek Ogres...

I'd be pretty okay with this. With all the various Alien kits and miniatures out there, It's kind of surprising we really don't have a hard plastic "Alien Bug" kind of kit considering how popular the inspirations are for them.

posted by Reptilian Overlords on facebook, looks like a reveal of another WGA collaboration

I hope the sizes mesh well with the Deathfields stuff (since it's not part of the official range it may not be perfect)

That's right. Space ANTS, not space spiders, with distinct caste differences, thus the different arms. Warriors have fine manipulators and enough intelligence to use weapons and tactics. Worker are just labor and at best have low human intelligence. Primary arms are strong, secondary would have simple manipulators, enough to pull levers or set the fulcrum for a lever.

I'd assume a few more people would like space ants, as I've seen others ask for Starship Troopers type bugs in the WGA blog.
