Got to say I love the Ooh-Rah and Harvester Bugs......they hit just the right marine/bug aesthetic to me. I've been really looking to cut down my number of projects though, as I don't have time for nearly all of them, but I may just offload a different one to get the gears turning on some bug hunting action.

I'd love to see any photos you have of the bugs...I haven't quite gone over the edge for them, but I think I could be convinced.

I cancelled my Facebook account a few years ago. It is not a platform I care to support anymore despite once being a big fan of its convenience. But I do appreciate the suggestion.

As the mod Insaniak has pointed out, my query is not relevant here and will discontinue it. However I felt it only polite to reply to you Theophony as you took the time to post the suggestion.

I don't think it's a good or bad thing, but count me as one interested party who would appreciate you posting to here any info about the past work of any WGA sculptor. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who is interested in seeing the past work and artistic progression of sculptors/designers whose output I like.

Feel free to share whatever you find.

I have decided to generally withdraw from online discussion. Hence I have deleted a number of threads and posts on this and other forums as well as heavily trimmed my blog. However, as you have referenced me directly Eilif I decided it would be impolite to not reply and inform you that I am not be in a position to share information any more.

If I do end up picking some up I will definitely post some pics. I’ve seen quite a few pics and even a video of the Ooh Rah, but unfortunately nothing on the bugs yet.

I ordered a single set of ogre sprues from spruedude since I only wanted one or two.

Really nice figures with a good amount of detail and options for sci-fi and fantasy.

Those look great! I haven't personally picked up any WGA stuff yet, but every time I see an in person picture I'm really shocked at how sharp the detail is. Really nice looking Ogres there.

You can check my profile for my painting blog, the guild myrmidian. Several photos of painted ogres in there, if you want to see other head options, etc in detail.

Thanks. Every wga sprue I have picked up has been great. I also have spiders, lizardmen, space dwarves and an unbuilt couple of space nam still NOS.

Has there been any indication that WGA will put the "kits in progress" spreadsheet back up? The Vox Populi was cool but it feels like it's spread too thin to make a huge change in direction. I was intending to throw money at the Afghan Cavalry but it feels like it would be a waste right now as I don't need any else at the moment besides the Afghan and maybe Conquistador Cavalry.

I think all the announced kits are now shown on the vox populi pages (42 entries by my count)

although having a link to them under the release list would be good as some folk aren't going to realise where they've gone

I'm referring to the old "in progress" list to see if something was still being sculpted, layout, re-designed, etc. I'm just curious how many more years we are going to be waiting for some kits. The Afghan Cavalry was announced at previewed in September 2020.

ah, got you,

yes it would be good to have that info whether they give back the old list or just give a 'current status' on the vox populi page for each entry

Some wga space Nam and a sci-fi ogre for skirmish gaming.
Helmets for humans are from Bolt Action US Airborne

Heads up to UK gamers who may have advance ordered the Ogres.

I've just been emailed that my order is on the way.

I'm a real big fan of the WGA plastics:





As soon as I get some spare cash, I'm getting me some of the Ogre Landsknechts

Those are really nice, KC.

The Space Nam conversions with the space ogre…brilliant.

Thank you.

Are the Ogres the only physical release for the next few months? It seems they are all I see online is Ogre mania.

As far as I am aware, HQ is waiting until current releases are in all 3 warehouses before launching the next wave of preorders

So looks like german sentries and SAS commandos are the next sets

Post Apoc troopers? Renegades maybe?

Looks like ogres

But more Chaosy?

When they first showed a close up of the pouch, I was leaning towards a Death Fields Russian themed kit but that weapon looks like the version on The Vain.

Agreed. Plus no filing down the foofee pants if you want sci-fi ogres

The foofee pants aren't a bother as mine are going to be aligned with my Ventrillian Nobles.A bit of frill aligns with the Helmet feather on the troops.

If (still an if) there is a pure Sci fi Ogre set on the horizon, I'm glad I only went for one box of the Landsknecht Ogres.

I’m just hoping they will be boxed physical plastics instead of stl

3D printing is great but I won’t be getting them if they’re just files or prints. I actually enjoyed building my sprue set of fantasy ogres and I normally hate building and painting

Up until now the Friday Email has focused on the actual, plastic side rather than the digital releases hasn't it?

Like you, I'm more for plastic but I do have some printed releases waiting at home for me from Only Games.

You are right. I didn’t realize that it was from the Friday email since my email spam boxed it for the first time. Weird.

The email says “ Another new hard plastic set in the works! ” right under the photo so very hopeful.

I'm going to guess WW1 British style halflings...
