Ah yes the headless legion

Look like a headless Irish shield wall to me, though probably useful for representing all kinds of Iron Age Northern Europeans east and west.

You can do whatever you want with your miniatures. Don't let yourself get cancelled by some radicals.
What's wrong with the gaming scene and all the political propaganda and gatekeeping popping up left and right everywhere lately?

The Death Fields alien masters love the fact that the Maoris were a bit tasty as a warrior culture but went hands off for fear of being accused of an -ism.
Who wouldn't want to see a Death Fields Shaka squaring off against a sci fi Geronimo.
Bulldogs vs Zulus except this time, the Zulus have lascannons.

There's also this game:

I know the author personally, and he is Māori (if anyone is scared to play a game of this kind written by whitey).

A few more teasers:

You would think that by now, everyone would know how to wear a mask properly, yet here is that guy in the second image!

It's the Rain of Terror!

I mean the Reign of Terra!

Oh you know what I mean.

Oh, that's right. They did say they were going to make files for the Third Servile War or Spartacus' revolt.

I would, love a plastic box of multipart gladiators in line with their other historicals.

A nice multipart plastic gladiator kit has long been the stuff of my dreams.

Along with a decent samurai kit!

RAFM has a BYO Gladiator set in metal. I own it, but multi-part metal figures are always a pain to build. They are also 25mm, having been sculpted when that was still industry standard. (I bought and painted them back then.) So a plastic gladiator PYO kit at 28mm would be an asset.

BTW, take the Spartacus joke as having been said ...

Do you like miniatures games about gladiators?

Surely you can't be serious.

I feel like I'm missing a joke somewhere but I would like a genuine recommendation.

It's from Airplane! (1980).
Captain Oveur: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
The implication is Captain Oveur is a pedophile, as his further questions all involve men getting sweaty and eventually naked. At some point, he just comes out and says, "Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

I leave it to the home audience to decide the merits of this joke for themselves.

Aaah.

Vox Populi has put me in a dilemma.

Grognards Raptor Cavalry or Bulldog Command/ Heavy?

Maybe I'll flip a coin next time I stop off to buy a set.

Some good transparency from WGA with the update and the Vox Populi process should help reduce any Boaty McBoatface element affecting things.

Oh and a very positive review of the Ooh-rah set…

Fascinating system. It does mean you can't vote unless you're buying direct (or want to just leave money in the pot)

I bet it was done to prevent people voting to troll others but the result is just like you said, and either you buy directly or get no say at all.

I think one of the issues with the previous method was that there was no measure in place to prevent people from trolling or voting as often as they could, so you could change the results if you wanted do it.

Obviously those who currently buy through retailers like me won't be able to vote for this or any other similar polls.

Of course, this is done just after I did a pretty big order with them. Otherwise I could have put some weight on the scales for what I want to see (and buy) next.

I do hate that is an issue but considering I've been waiting for the Afghan Cavalry since they were announced in September 2020, I'm willing to throw some dollars there way.

Why are those gladiators and Xenophon digital only?

WHY!?!

They might show up on Only-Fans, and then you can buy prints. Once Royal Mail has their ramsomware situation sorted and UK businesses can export again, I'll see about an order of my own.

They really need to get a US-based printer.

Hold on, they aren't there yet or I'd have said. There's a bit of a lag between the .stl files release and what Only-Fans decides to offer. If they do list the gladiators I or someone else will mention it.
