Those "Ooh Rah" models look terrible.

I wonder if Wargames Atlantic would consider doing samurai with futuristic samurai weapons and cool full helmet mask head options?

Sooner or later absolutely. I think Death Fields Samurai were even an option in one of the polls.

For a rocket/missile launcher i really think a more rpg/panzerfaüst 3 style like KidCuluthu's conversion. I mean a larger crew served ATGM launcher would additionally be great, but those are more readily avaliable elsewhere.

Shield sprue!
https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/color-us-excited-no-really

Did this ever go on sale?

I may need like 30 round shields soon.

not as far as i know

(they are for use with multiple kits no mention of a stand alone release in the release schedule https://wargamesatlantic.com/pages/release-schedule but worth emailing WGA to see if they'll do them in the same way as the cannon fodder accesory arm/weapon sprue)

I still think it's not that good of a sprue tbh, it really could've used more variety instead of being 21 identical shields. Maybe some would come with decorations, studs, some metal and some wooden with metal reinforcements, maybe 3 of each version. Any variation would be nice, tbh

If my sprue squinting is correct the Afghan box has 4 shields for 5 guys, so a box of 40 gives me 32 shields.

And 40 conscripts for my Tallarn

You could augment the kit with metal shields from wargames foundry. I have always augmented my kits with additional kit and historical metal parts makers are a great resource to make any kit go further(my armed hobbitry (which are yet to be painted) are armed with all manner of medieval polearm, from glaive to hafted morningstar mostly from the assault group's renaissance range. They look awefully great. A band of hardy hobbit militia). Wargames atlantic has to make its kits versitile to fit a wider audience and because we just love versitile kits but that means each sprue has a limited number of each part or detail.
They do a great job cramming in what they can but they can only put on a limited number of parts.

Look forwards to seeing your work on them. Sounds like a fun project.

That's an excellent idea. Even better when they are available below retail at places like Mcdougall Designs!

Poll results. Ooh Rah, Landsknecht Ogres and Modern "Operators" are the winners.

And we could have Kobolds instead.

I wish wga and one page rules could ally.

WA appear to have revamped the Release Schedule page.

Read, enjoy and start planning.

I'm feeling a bit ouch over an estimated shipping date of 25 Jul for the Bulldogs but patience is a virtue.

Finally, Einherjar command and heavy wrapons

Erm, halfway actually, it seems. A bunch of kids are still listed for June 20th and is now the 21st.

I'm speaking for my side of the pond.

I would assume that US shipping will always be before UK now we're not awaiting the goods on a slow boat from China.

It checks out.

In that case who would be left to box the last of the boxers?

Wouldn’t that depend on whether it was before or after Boxing Day?

It's Boxers all the way down

New SP

Operators look to be operating operationally.

Boxers, cannon fodder restock, and bases are now up.

And just to note: McDougall Designs has them listed at below retail. Any orders placed will ship immediately upon my stock order arriving (which is in the post)

They’re pretty smooth.

And soon…

Coast to coat, LA to Chicago, sent by mail.
Across the north and south to Key Largo, they’re for sale.
