I'll join, I think making historical figures would be cool; they would fit in well with HS.

Thanks for signing up.

As the project structure, I think one way to do it ould be to put together an idea pool, and vote on what wee want to design.

As for ranks...

Not sure.

[Kurrok The Elementalist]

I would like too help

[The Champion of Weston]

I'm ready when ever you are MachineKng, I have a few ideas I can post tomorrow. I can't wait to see your units.

[Odin_Osgard]

I would be interested. I don't frequent the boards that much but would be glad to throw in my two cents.

[machinekng]

Right now, I just want everyone to brainstorm, get those ideas out there.

WWI German Soliders
WWII Russian Soldiers
Confederate Calvary
Spanish Conquistadors
Transvaal Gunman (British Colonial Machine Gun Operator)
Boer Guerillas
Renualt FT-17 (A light French WWI tank)
Bolshevik Revolutionary

Among others...

Kurrok, welcome to the group, Odin too.

I don't know how much time I can devote to this, but I've always felt that we needed more combatants from history. I'll do my best to keep up with the thread and chime in when I have something I think will help.

Some suggestions:
US Civil War - Union and Confederate
US Cavalry & Native Americans
British Soldiers and Zulu
WWI Doughboys, British, French, & German
WWII Soldiers from all major combatants and theaters of operation - maybe even Special Forces like Army Rangers
Desert Storm

Korean War

[Tolamos]

I'm in.
Though I won't be able to come up with many initial ideas, I can help do the designing.

In fact, I'll start by taking the Zulu idea and going with that. I'll have a squad up soon.

Welcome Mac122 and Tolamos.

How about some Austrian Cavalry. At one point they had the best cavalry in the world; unfortunately new weaponry made them kind of obsolete. We don't have to do that though, we can make them fit in well with HS. I also think we should do a General Eisenhower from WWII and make a squad of Marines to go with him.

Ike would be better with some Army GIs. You could do MacArthur with some Marines then give them some Japanese troops to fight.

More mounted figures would be great. The only problem with them is finding figures or suitable proxies.
