Slaanesh aims to please (lure), no matter who they may be.

I want one with glasses and a sweater

Velma is a daemon prince of Slaanesh anyway, so...

latest information is 9-12. i'd bet on 12, if I was a betting man.

What they really need is a flamberge/Flammenschwert option for the leader.

Can i interest you in a bundle deal with this chap?

I'd be inclined to agree if there weren't already good affordable options for ordinary ogres. I don't know if I really have a use for the WGF Ogres, but I've already figured out one to justify their purchase. Off hand I'm thinking that at minimum they could be a nice mercenary unit that I could use with either my Human or Chaos Warrior armies.

Do we know yet how many will be a box?

See above.

I do like those a lot, though the scaly skin and calcified growth-looking things really make them much more LotR-movie trolls to me more than Ogres. I'd love to see "proper" generic ogres as well.

Xenos Rampant is a forthcoming large skirmish minis game from Osprey Publishing. The yet unnamed WGS bugs should be useful here. "On the bounce, trooper!"

Been over a year since that bit of news. Has there been no further word on that kit?

Last two WGF hobbits finished from the sprue I bought from McDougall. With allot of fiddly cutting, converting and gluing of hands and weapons (check out the axe) and the addition of eccentric minis bits, I've managed to build a mix of adventureres from the sprue of pole arms and archers.

I don't think I'd recommend this sprue for building hand weapon adventurers unless you already have extra bits on hand. If you have to order conversion bits there are cheap metal halflings you can buy instead. However, my bits box is deep so I've now got 5 charming Hobbits to add to my random fantasy skirmish collection. Not bad for 5 bucks.

This weeks Wargames Atlantic Facebook poll is which female sets you would like to see. Or rather which of their existing sets you would like to see a female version of. Like Frostgraves “2” series.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/WargamesAtlanticLegion/permalink/1435774446901702/

Female Landshreck Ogres, duh.

Female halflings finally!

Female female cannon fodder!

The answer is CLEARLY dude bugs. They’ll look like bodybuilders that stuffed a basketball in their shorts and have cute little mandibles.

Or if I’m being serious… the Landshreck Ogre Women actually. The dudes are tempting but provided they avoid the meme of monstrous humanoids being either just the males in bad drag or strippers I wouldn’t be able to resist doing a mixed gender mercenary company.

My Vote went to Landsknecht ogres, Halflings and Conquistadors... and Dark Age Irish.

Ogres and Halflings being fantasy I think females have a place as female gamers are a thing... Conquistadors and Dark Age Irish would complement the frostgrave sets. So while maybe not true historical counterparts to the original sets, I think would sell well and be very useful.

Could you ask if there will be a non FB vote too?

This is just the Friday poll. They have one every Friday. I think this is more a feedback thing that Hudson uses to see what he should start planning more so than an actual "we will create one of these" things. So its not really a vote like the votes hosted on the Wargames Atlantic news and articles section.

I take these as more a "would you be interested in...?" kind of thing. He asked what people would be interested in seeing for a Friday poll? I messaged him suggesting this poll. We will see if it actually leads to a real vote or anything. Seems like Cannon Fodder 2 is selling pretty well though.

Yeah I thought they were on the release schedule at one point. But I am not sure.

Oh wow. Generic fantasy trolls was my contribution to the list of projects to vote on, and it did not make the top ten.

Well not like you can check, given the Release Schedule is currently down for revision.

Friday newsletter has a peek at Landsknecht Ogre sci-fi weapons

Interesting to see arms without the flouncy shirts. Would look wierd I think though to have flouncy pants and regular sleeves though, right?

Still, definitely looking forward to these. I've decided I need a mercenary Ogre regiment.

How about fancy pants plus berets?

The Les Grognards Command & Heavy Weapons set has female heads, admittedly only 1 of each type per sprue, but that is a set I don't think needs a separate female box, since the curaiss is unisex. Have not built any of the Raumjager I've bought, but IIRC, there are female heads in there. Bulldogs can use a female set as the uniform tunic is not unisex.

Dark Age Irish are a good choice; while I don't know enough about the historical period to say, the mythology of that culture has a number of female warriors and a warrior goddess or two.
