[@loupnoir10]

Yup making my whole guard army with Grognard and this heavy squad/command squad is really good :)

[@LazyLas]

HI!! Fellow guard player, Did the Command/ heavy squad coke with enough men to man the guns and build command/special weapons guys? Or did you have to choose?

[@B1-997]

Now all I need is for the bulldogs to get their heavy weapons and I’ll be very happy:D

[@Bluecho4]

One thing I noticed about the Heavy Weapons kit is that, while you have only six tripods for mounting, you still have all the parts for 12 heavy weapons. You just need to mount them on something else. Whether that's third party tripods (Anvil Industries sells some), or clipping bits of sprue and glueing them down like a stack of bricks. You can get pretty creative with this setup, and even tell interesting stories with the kitbash. Like the cannon barrel resting on a ruined brick wall or sandbag barrier.

[@skazkatzroy3444]

With a Stormtroopers box I can like triple the amount of Scions I can build from a GW kit.

[@DarkRaven4561]

The Eisenkorn Stormtrooper would make pretty good Tempestus Scion proxies, or elite PDF...

[@Bluecho4]

This was my thinking, as well.

[@grahamcarpenter5135]

They don't have the powerpack-hose thing that the hotshot lasguns used by the Scions have...though you could say it's some kind of recovered STC design that has a strong enough internal battery that it doesn't need one.

[@Steven-sy6nu]

Or make your own hose thing

[@penguinsentinel8508]

Enjoying your enthusiasm. I have a lot of time for WGA, some of which will be spent on the box of Einharjar (space Norse dwarves) that I have waiting in the project pile.

[@Bluecho4]

I think the Eisenkern models work, "counts as" wise, for Tempestus Scions (aka Storm Troopers). They're not as fancy as the GW models, obviously, not as ornate. But they are slick models, and much cheaper. So if you want to run a detachment of deep-striking troopers, you can definitely do worse.

[@thekinginyellowmessiahofha6308]

They are very menacing on the table top if you paint them right. They take very well to drybrushing.

[@yuttorres2896]

I was thinking that or Karskin maybe ?

[@Bluecho4]

@@yuttorres2896 In the time since my comment, WA have done their crowdfund for "Lost & the Damned" style plastic kits. Among them an elite infantry kit, very obviously meant to stand in either for Tempestus Scions or Kasrkin. The base sculpts have a stronger "Blood Pact" aesthetic, though with a head swap they could be made more ambiguously Imperial. Moreover, unlike the Eisenkern models, the upcoming "Damned" kit will have weapon options more clearly in line with GW "stormtroopers". So you need no conversions or alternate bits to give them Hot-Shot Lasguns, special weapons, etc. If you're willing to wait something like 6+ months, that might be a more useful purchase. Though the Eisenkern models are certainly not terrible.

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

btw, for the cadian heavy weapons you have the guns to make 15 btw, you just need the crew and the bases

[@Signal_Lost.]

Do you mean that the box set provides the bits to build 15 heavy weapons, with 6 guys, and six bases?

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

you just need to provide the guys and the bases, the guns and tripods come in 3 sets of one of each type of gun

[@Signal_Lost.]

@@Aconspiracyofravens1 I guess that makes sense lol. Thanks for the info! I am 100% gonna use this to my advantage ;p

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

@@Signal_Lost. get a 3d printer instead, the new printers are a blast

[@Signal_Lost.]

@@Aconspiracyofravens1 Unfortunately they're too expensive. I come from a broken home with a broken family in every way that counts. One day I plan on getting one, but until then I'll just have to make do. I don't want to be a downer or anything, so genuinely thank you for the suggestions, and the information. It really does help.

[@Johno428]

After watching this video, I went and bought one of each infantry box for the death fields range. They looks so sick and I actually had the old Eisenkern Stormtroopers models but they have seen better days so I also bought the new 2020 box as well.

[@jagermeister6x9]

Would love to see more of the Dreamforge line shift over to Wargames Atlantic and expand on it.

[@jhilal2385]

These Eisenkern stormtroopers make good Solar Auxilia for HH: Age of Darkness. Use the provided weapons for lasrifles and flamers, and add packs of FW Volkite Chargers for Veletarii Storm Sections. The 10-box deal gives you enough models for 9 lasrifle sections plus command sections and Medicae, or substitute storm or flamer sections for lasrifle sections at 2 to 1. At 200 models for $US 265, that is $1.33 per figure, compared to FW's $4-$7 per figure. Bases can be sourced inexpensively from wargamesbaseworld.com They also make good Imperalis Militia with the Survivors of the Dark Age Provenance.

[@isaiahcasey1678]

I am interested in the storm troopers, but one of my worries is the weapons all look so similar in all the images I have seen. Being able to tell what weapons the soldiers are holding at a glance is important to me, and several of the weapons in the sprue look like nondescript longarms. Do the guns look too same-y to you?

[@webanator]

Totally agree. Edit: Only ones that are unique are the Sniper Rifles maybe

[@DM-CW]

They are. There's quite a few you could just call lasgun. For heavy weapons I'd probably use gw bits. Still a great savings

[@Bluecho4]

You could always paint the different weapon types slightly different colors, to make it easy to tell at a glance. Even if it's just like a red accent on certain parts of the weapon, or the like.

[@balkenkreuz2063]

One of the best bang for your buck out there! GW's shock troops just can't compete at all specially now that they're $4.50 per model. Ludicrous. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a review of their new plastic WW1 French ;)

[@jamesmaas7244]

Great stuff! I've bought two already.

[@DM-CW]

I messaged customer support about not having instructions (2 months ago) and they said a video was on the way. Took me about 15minutes to figure it out but a video would have been nice.

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@recoveringlibertarian5982]

I love mine

[@thekriegsman1743]

The reason the death korps are so small is cus they children

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

also, for the french pronunciation, the last part is a ards sound, grognards (this is horrible pronunciation but it sounds like the french somewhat) just the last part kinda sounds like lard, just pronounce it like you would in english and it will be closer

[@Steven-sy6nu]

Traditionally french cavalry wore their hair in long braids once upon a time, just sayin'. And that was a male hairstyle btw.

[@redgreen09]

WELL like all and kit bashing and bits ok even at 35bucks not bad yes GW and mantic and others will brack up the same old stuff seen at comic place neer me an IGs starter box and a SPMs both $200 bucks with tax $225 UUUUGGG but its backed but some boxes from this and kit bash be fun to do and this has lizard guy with guns make good croot need dredlocks wish had amazons yes girls in bikinis with laz guns and flamers i just go on you post and will see

[@y2j1490yahoo]

Cheap because they look cheap and silly.

[@colinmack8655]

Butt hurt much tell me where James Workshop touched you.

[@y2j1490yahoo]

@@colinmack8655 sorry some people work hard for their money and don't want to waste it on trash products. You must be a liberal , you seem pretty upset that people have their own opinions and choices.

[@DM-CW]

What about it looks cheap and silly? The quality is easily on the same scale as gw guard kits.

[@y2j1490yahoo]

@@DM-CW the astetic and poses look silly and don't match 40k. I'd buy recast mordians or steel legion before these , they look like children's army men. You get what you pay for. Compare them to Victoria miniatures or mini robot guard and you'll see what I mean.

[@DM-CW]

@@y2j1490yahoo I think it's unfair to compare them to Victoria bc those are resin and quality casts are easier/cheaper for the manufacturer in that case. The faces do look kidish but I been combining them with anvil industry heads. I could see the argument with the poses but aren't the gw heavy weapon team basically the same?
