How does the biker kit compare scale wise with rest of their range? Is it compatible .

Those bikes look fantastic!  Really looking forward to those.  Excellent design on their part to allow for mounted/dismounted figs.  Hoping they are cross compatible with the the survivors range.  Thanks for the showing.  I hope they offer a peek at the soldiers soon too.

Early next year from what i've heard.

Alot of people seem to think this means wargames factory are going out of business but i don't think it's that bad, if anything they're going to be freed up to work on their kits and not worry about distribution.
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

The upcoming kits are pretty much the same overall style as the survivors and female zombies. The previous kits are not what I'd call modular, in that they have some very specific body and arm pairings. I honestly haven't had time to build any of the new dark futures figures so I'm not sure how 'dictated' the arm/torso pairings are.

a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

The newer kits including the AWI are taller and more slim proportions than the older stuff (Dark Ages, Samurai, Rome, etc.) but I've seen people do some cross-range conversions that look just fine to me (using Persians and survivor weapons to make Taliban etc.).

Thank you Dr Mathias
I had idea of buying the biker set and some of the Japanese and doing a Tokyo biker gang  :D

Ok, so in true last minute fashion I decided to change my faction from Preservers to Caravanners, the option of doing a mutant emissary proved too tempting for me.

I found the Bolt action bits, with a minimum of cutting and filling, fitted the FG stuff almost perfectly.



Here are a few pics of the first two members of my nascent warband.

The first Caravan Defender is just a straight armswap with a Bolt Action US marine.




Next one I added a GW IG backpack. Problably use him as a Guard or a Lugger.




Hope you like 'em. Any advice or constructive criticism is welcome.

Those scream poorly paid help humping it across the wastes.  Nice conversions and paintwork.

Those look sweet Captain.  I really like the fellow in the wool cap.  I was skeptical about how well the two ranges would mate up but they work well together.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated. So while my initial question has been answered, I think I'm going to continue using the thread to document my descent into the post apocalypse and TNT.
So for your viewing pleasure (or indifference/disgust)

My Lieutenant (so far nicknamed The Goon by a friend of mine).



My tracker.



As always any advice or criticism is welcome.

The Frostgrave Soldiers box. It's a pretty new kit, with enough parts to make 20 guys, which is funny since its made for a system that only allows you around 10 guys in a warband.
