They arelady namedropped Death Fields Shinobi a few days ago on WGA Digital.

**Albertorius**

Those would probably be a good base for kuritan DEST troopers at least ^^

**KidCthulhu**

So I got the new Foot Knights. They're a little smaller than I anticipated, but I use a mix of 25-30mm stuff and they scale fine:

Spoiler:

I look forward to more of the Baron's War line

...Oh, that's disappointing.

Would have loved some plastic scifi ninjas.

As others mentioned, though, the weapons could really use some love, to match the very scifi bodysuit.

**Garrac**

We got stiuplated dates on the Damned stuff for fulfillment before the end of the year, but I'll wait if WGA itself wants to report it with mroe detail here.

**Gallahad**

Wow, the knights are even small compared to Perry knights. That is a real shame.

They are now solidly in my "will never purchase" bucket. I don't get the ongoing fascination with 25mm scale.

**RedRowan**

These are 28mm, not 25mm. They are just more realistically proportioned in comparison to other ranges. Have to remember these have been specifically designed to fit in with the existing Barons War metal range which I think they do very well.

I think they are just tall 25's

Whatever height they are, they are clearly smaller than even well established medieval ranges like the Perry's. Call them whatever you want, doesn't change the unfortunate truth that they will not scale well with anything outside of whatever little metals range they are apparently meant to compliment.

**Wargames Atlantic**

They're 28mm to the eyes like the rest of our historicals. Sometimes comparing unpainted plastic to painted models can throw it off a bit.
Here's a comparison shot with Perry - Foot Knight - Oathmark - and our Conquistadors

**Shadow Walker**

@WGA - having that size comparison made me think about your incoming werewolves - are they bigger than conquistadors (hopefully) to make them hulking beasts like ones from Underworlds movie?

Sorry about that; I thought I was helping (not hindering)

**Smokestack**

Spoiler:

Oathmark human heads look so huge... always... I bet they would look better with those foot knight heads on them.

Appreciate your pictures. They look great. I only ordered a sprue of foot knights but seeing your pics makes me want more

Ha no worries! They're great pics. I just think people jumped to the wrong conclusions.

The peasants are revolting!

Definitely in for that. More revolting peasants the better.

They've always been revolting. Now they're rebelling.

Bonus points for whoever gets that reference.

I love that the image of the guy from Office Space who created the "Jump to Conclusions" game was removed because:

**Smokestack**

Got some sprues in today from Mcdougals... The Romans, the knights and the quar amongst some others. I got a couple chariots and light horses... so made a chariot that is not skeletal. A goth and a fire forge ALMUGHAVAR for crew...

**KidCthulhu**

I'm still having fun with the Foot Knight box. Looks like I've already got a new Big Fantasy Epic character in mind

Yes, the horns are inspired by Marvel's Daredevil

I'm still figuring out what to do with the shield, as I'm not 100% confident I can paint a matching coat of arms more than once. I'll likely sculpt one and do a push mold. Especially since I'm considering a third pose for him.

**Shadow Walker**

Guys, can you get WGA textured bases in your countries? I ask because for some reason every latest WGA release is available in my country's retail but those bases.

**legionaires**

I just read the updated schedule on the Damned crowd funding. No complaints on the dates but the text on the schedule was really difficult to read on mobile. Just an FYI. I just wish life would calm down and let me buy some kits.

I don't think they're available yet as they were part of the kickstarter.

In WGA store they are available https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/all/products/25mm-textured-bases-3mm-bevel

Have you tried asking the shops? Wargamer.pl is pretty responsive on facebook.

I did ask one that I usually buy from, and which has all WGA products but to my surprise they said that they have no plans for textured bases. I will email Wargamer and see what they answer is, thanks

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I'd guess they already have other (GW?) textured bases and may anticipate a better return on them, so why stock another very similar products

You might be right, although textured ones they stock are resin. Also they have WGA dual use bases (intended for puddle bases models) so textured ones are the only WGA product they do not stock.

@Smokestack- That sounds like a good plan. I might need to do that to finally make my Persian Scythed Chariots.

The Chariots are pretty nice. They dont have reins like the victrix one I got does... but then again I never actually assembled that one...

I bought 2 sprues from McDougals... I assembled the 2nd one today... I think I am gonna put together an Irish/Goth fantasy barbarian group for use in RPGs...

**Prometheum5**

Anyone else messing with the Quar stuff? I'm excited to see what's next, got one side of the plastics build. They're great little kits. I also got the specialists and they are my first Siocast minis... that stuff sucks total ass, huh? I went to the Zombiesmith site and grabbed a handful of the metal figures, any idea when we'll see more rules or releases?

**KidCthulhu**

I still want to see how the plastic Quar look with Kroot heads, but my hobby budget currently won't allow for it. Plus I still have a ton of stuff to paint.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

This got us thinking...let's make TWO plastic sets!

So here's the plan. We'll take the doggos, the unarmored bodies, the unarmored arms, and open-faced helms and create a true Conquistador Cavalry set. BUT...we will take the armored bodies, armored arms, full helmets, and the armored horse parts to create more traditional European cavalry of the period.

We'll give pre-production order folks the option for which they'd like to receive and produce both sets at once.

Stay tuned as we move toward layouts!
