They look good, I have a feeling you could get a ton of mileage out of those heads for a variety of regiments. Im half tempted to throw my spare heads up on swapshop or something, I have a feeling they'll be very popular for conversions.

The grognards must be selling really well if they're already working on the heavy weapons kit, given the fact the raumjager guys have been out a lot longer and not gotten theirs yet.

Kepi heads that have optional sun-shades

. The rom Yeager have you weapons box is in the design stage currently. The rocknard's got moved up because yes they are more popular

Is it too late to ask for additional fully-enclosed helmet heads for the Raumjager weapon crew? The main infantry kit didn’t come with enough.

No. I'll pass that along.

Can you tell them we also need a pistol and sword held in the left hand of the Grognards?

A pointing finger for the right hand would also be great.

Hopefully they could be included in any future heavy weapons teams or a Character/ Command box (Hint Hint...no pressure).

That would be the best way to do it.

It occurred to me that Irish heads & cloaks + Raumjager bodies might make passable Plastic Tanith infantry.
If someone's getting an Irish set, would you be willing to trade/sell me some spare heads?

I'll pass your thoughts up the chain.

In the meantime, here are detail shots and concept renders/3D prints for:

Persians on preorder

Afghans on preorder

Potential concept for common goblins (sized similarly to the halflings)

Mystery resin 3D print proof of concept for fittings, etc. Can you guess what these are/will be?

Upcoming kit detail shots and concept renders/3D prints https://imgur.com/gallery/veXPEUi

Those plastic Afghan warriors are nice. It is good to see a company producing nice plastic kits for periods that are usually metal/resin only.

I look forward to see what else comes out of this company in the future.

Boxer rebellion Chinese shown off.

Oh hell yeah! Those I’m getting.

I'm also very much looking forward for the Afghans. Their weapon options also look very nice.

Really love everything these guys have done so far! Hope they keep making alternatives for guard. Really hoping for Tallarn stand in's

Some people have already done that by mixing the raumjager with heads from a variety of arab-based historical kits. Alternatively you would wait for the upcoming Afghans and use their heads. As a further alternative you could also use the grognard heads with Cappy and add the optional sun shade

Yeah, plastic Boxers would get me interested ...fo sho.

I'm down for at least one box of boxers.

Hell, I could talk my dad into some probably. He's got a whole slew of 1/32 scale toy soldier Boxers!

Well, they're just into 3d printed tests to make sure fits are correct. you will get your wish!

Do they come with many extra heads? I have a bunch of Fireforge Mongolians with a head problem.

If the Boxers are close in scale to Frostgrave it'll be one step closer to me having some honest to goodness wuxia battles (in plastic no less!) on the tabletop.

This can't happen soon enough!

Full kit details and breakdown of the sprue have not been released at this point. Stay tuned

Anyone seen the new sneak peek email that came out today? Looks like insectoids or Tyranid type box set coming!

could be a lot of things. probably something with multiple legs.

also

The head seems a bit large to me. Makes him look like a child in a mask.

Maybe it’s the render or maybe the more bare faces will look better.

I’ve been putting together the grognards, and I’m quite happy with them.

I hope its not ants for the insectoid legs as the folk who did the plastic fauns KS are well on the way sculpting some of their own

plenty of other insects to choose from and i'd hate them to be competing for the same cash

and I agree with InquisitorBob that the head on the Aztec warrior does look a bit big, but I suspect a visual trick, it's just the jaguar head helmet and if you took it off the model the head would be the right size (plus you never really know how render to plastic will look)

Not ants, the 3d prints and renders we had showed had one problem sector and it's the nose attachment and thickness of antenna. That's a separate plan in works, and we want to do the satyrs (especially as we are making sculpts now). Not sure what the plans are for the two releases as WGA always seems to have something in the works.

The previewed bug leg things are too thin. I love buggy things, but I would not purchase what they have shown because it would just be a long saga of legs getting broken everytime you use them.
Lord Marcus, please tell them to thicken the legs (or whatever they are)

Pics?

Yeah he looks a bit like he's based on this pic (from an Osprey book by the look of it) but the proportions look wrong on the pic of the mini.
