Aww man, I was counting on using the more traditional conquistador parts with the armored bodies. Like I did with my sprue of the infantry version. I want dogs, too but I want the armor.
Sigh, decisions decisions...

Anyone any idea what Wargames Atlantic are doing for The Last War? I'm 50/50 on getting a WA Great War box or two or hanging tight if they're doing a box with extra gubbins.

Gah, if I used a search I would found the answer from Wargames Atlantic themselves:
"Next up will be The Last War in partnership with Will Rahman Daultrey which will feature his highly popular Forbidden Psalm: The Last War rules and our plastic WW1 figures along with all the things you need to play the game including dice and tokens. We plan to release the game for Salute in April"
Scratch that release date I guess.

Found scale comparison with Baron's War model that could be helpful to some. Also WGA plastic ones.

Delayed because we're adding a unique frame of parts to this as well!

Here's a comparison shot with Perry - Foot Knight - Oathmark - and our Conquistadors
" target="_new" rel="nofollow">[url=https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/1191666-.html]
That's actually a darn good size. Halfway between Perry and Oathmark for the knights is a nice sweet spot.
The Conquistadores are a bit chunkier than any of those, but do appear to be very well suited for Empire or Mordheim use and it's not as though they're going to be mixed in the same unit with Medieval foot knights.

I'm really curious about the werewolves. If I knew they were this close to being released, I would have held back the werewolf reveal in my project and used these instead of Reaper

I like the werewolves but wish they were larger. I will get a box because hard plastic werewolves are awesome, but I have a ton of Wrath of kings and confrontation wolfen. Plus etsy and reaper and Cadwallon. Also Mantic and some Russian ones from a company like tehnolog but wasnt...
I wish these would have been the size of their ogres which would have still been on the smaller side but would have matched up better.
The halfling snipers look cool, but not a set I need or want. Would like Halfling cavalry or female halflings though.

I would like to see size comparison of werewolves with other WGA models because so far they seem to be not much larger than those ratlings.

Agreed that was my thoughts too. I know these are in a more crouched stance but they look only slightly taller that the halfling bodies on the ratling sprue.

So now we need to hope that those ratllings are really big, otherwise werewolves would be Frostgrave sized at best. I hope that my eyes are cheating me though.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but I also agree that barely-man-sized werewolves would have little interest to me. That said, I have some confrontation Werewolves and I wouldn't want them to be that large either. Will be interested to see how they size up.

They must have wanted them to scale with historical 25mm werewolf lines.
These are clearly the Prussian summer uniform werewolves. You can tell by the buttons.

I actually like more human sized werewolves. I've never got on with the idea that when lycanthropes change they suddenly become 8 feet tall and double in mass. By keeping them in scale with the other WA ranges it makes it easier to kitbash if you want armed werewolves as well.
I think the sneakfeet look pretty chonky - perhaps a bit bigger than the WA fantasy halflings, more in line with citadel ratlings, and that's making the werewolves seem smaller than they are.

For me, this is a result of Werewolf the Apocalypse. Which was my first and favorite gaming experience with were-wolves. In that the werewolves are depicted as the 9' tall killing machines and though I dont think there is anything official in the books, the internet has it at a 50% size increase when in Crinos form. So a 6' man would be a 9' tall Hybrid man-wolf.
We are actually playing a mixed OWoD game right now... (with a mage, a vampire, a promethean a Corax and my Black Fury). So to me I always have werewolves in that size mentally. In d&d 3.5 the werewolves were man-sized but there was a were-wolf lord... (not a guy who rules over were-wolves but more a "dire-wolf, were-wolf" that is large or ogre sized.

My ideal werewolves are ones from the Underworld series. Here is a pic from the third movie when Lucian meets original werewolves. Actor's height is supposed to be 178cm.

Same; I have a 25mm scale 1990's Ral Partha werewolf from the official licensed line and she towers over many GW miniatures. At the time, she was twice as a tall as a regular human mini from that range.
Then Dog Soldiers and Confrontation Wolfen entered the zeitgeist. So people expect gigantic werewolves now, I guess?
I really want to get a closer look at these upcoming werewolves as even at that size, I can happily find uses for them.
