God, I freaking love Wargames Atlantic. I'm what the kids today call a "Simp". I never miss a chance to shill for them, because they're just a great company. The advantage of buying direct from them is you can get free worldwide shipping for orders over $50. Which is to say, two plastic kits, or a kit and a set of bases, or a kit and some of the Death Fields upgrade sprues. Other miniature companies tend to require spending over $100 or thereabouts in order to get free shipping, so this is great. WA also give discounts for buying kits in bulk. So if you're already planning on making a full Mordian or Praetorian or Catachan force, you might as well get three boxes and save a bit of money.

Always great to see the sprues "in motion", as in: from more angles than on any pictures. What would be even more awesome: a couple of built models, ideally compared to a variety of similar things from other manufacturers.

Great to see some Wargames Atlantic love! I have the lizardmen and the first box of Cannon Fodder. Assembly was a breeze and I was able to kitbash a heavy weapon from Cannon Fodder onto the arm of a Lizardman, so they are a but more well equipped, lol. I haven't tried any of their more historical ranges, but I have heard they are more 28mm true scale, so they would be smaller and look less well fed than the Death Fields and fantasy ranges. if you do get the cannon fodder at some point, its amazing how just a quick paint job makes them feel different from each other. I was warred the generic jumpsuit on all bodies would be very samey, but I was able to make distinct soldiers, explorers, escaped criminals, and cops with just a different head and base color.

I absolutely love Wargames Atlantic. they mix so well with Northstar Miniatures too. I routinely mix the parts with my frostgrave, oathmark, and stargrave minis to make my minis for campaigns. You can mix fireforge with them too. That's how I made my zombie miners for Stargrave. Some of the fireforge zombies have pick axes and they work so well with the convict minis since they have miner helmets as an option.

SpaceNam - "I love the smell of Promethium in the morning. It smells like the Emperor's Mercy." Thank you for this review. I've been looking at some Wargames Atlantic sets - they have historicals too, like Panzer Lehr for Normandy, and it's nice to see what the general quality of the sprues and molding looks like. I would love to play a Steampunk/VSF game. I have loads of Perry and some Empress Brits for the Anglo-Zulu War and the Mahdist Rebellion in the Sudan.

Have and love the lizardmen. Can't wait to pick up some of the others, versatility is what are the main things I look for when I buy miniatures. I can buy a box of these for a decent price and use some for a skirmish game, some for fantasy role play, and some for sci-fi. Even their giant spiders come with options to give them laser rifles. That's pretty great. Really hoping they'll produce a kit of janissaries, guys with turbans and baggy pants or fezzes would be awesome.

So far, I've bought the Death Field dwarves, Connon fodder male and females sets, skeletons, horses and Dark Age Irish Warriors. All the sets have been great. I used the horses to enable me to make both options from GW's skeleton knights box. The skellies are reminiscant of the old Citidel ones from the 90's. The Death Fields kits are going to be used for my IG army and I haven't built the Irish Warriors yet.

Nice review. I have the War-games Atlantic French partisans box. Couple of things I noticed, the styrene in these kits is very soft. Gun barrels on sub machine guns can bend easily. And some of them didn't form properly in the mold. Not a huge deal because there are plenty of extras. Lastly, the heads have a strange attachment. Instead of ball and socket, the necks are formed to the torso and have a flat connection area. Not ideal if you want the head tilted up or down or if you want to use the heads with models from another company.

From what I've heard, this connection issue depends on which kit you buy. Some don't let you tilt up and down, others do.

The only criticism I have of the Wargames Atlantic products is that sometimes you only get three bodies per sprue. This leads to a lack of variation in the poses, and in the overall look of the assembled minis en masse. It’s good to see them moving towards five or six bodies per sprue. Just need to nudge them slightly further towards the Victrix tendency to have a command sprue mixed in with each box of troop sprues. Then WA would be perfect. 😊
@Bluecho4
Жыл бұрын
Maybe they could release a "Command Upgrade Sprue", like they did with the regular Death Fields upgrade sprue. Instead of having regular infantry weapons, they include things like more melee weapons, pistols, fancier heads, command rods, and maybe a cape or two. Something to jazz up regular infantry and make them look like officers. Then again, they might be saving that sort of thing for future Support kits, like they did with Les Grognards.
