Vox Populi is our system to let you decide what we make fastest. First you vote on what goes onto the List of 12, then you vote for the one that you want most, and the one with the most votes goes to pre-production order. Once that hits $6,000 in orders, we match it to go to tooling. All the while this is going on we are taking your feedback, making changes and additions, and working toward the best frame of parts for that set that we can achieve.
The BEF is a good example of this in that we took a load of feedback and Rob made a ton of changes along the way. It covers all the bases for BEF but also has some additional parts in the mix to allow you to build good approximations of Home Guard troops. Here is the final frame:
We think you're going to love this set!

Shipping out March 22nd, this 28mm hard plastic box set gives you enough parts to build 12 Afghan riders and horses including the option to build Herati cavalry!
All the parts are compatible with our previously released Afghan Warriors infantry box as well!
Each box includes six rider frames and four of our new Light Horses frames
]]>
Many of you called to add pistol arms and more full helms to the set. Rob has given some options for both matchlock and wheel-lock pistols here. Let us know what you think of these options.
Not all the parts we've shown will fit but we are going to work (like we always do!) to give you a huge number of options and variety in the set.
Any parts that don't make it into the final plastic set will be available as digital add-ons once the set is released. Let us know your thoughts below!

Here is Gaz looking very James Dean.
Gaz will be playing a part time role with us while he continues as the Director of Business Development with the fine folks at MiniWargaming. Gaz will be leading our social media and community outreach and working closely with the rest of the team to promote new releases, the digital offerings, and whatever other madness we come up with!
In his own words: "I have been a keen gamer for 20 years now and don't plan on halting the breaks on the hobby!! As an everyday gamer I have stockpiles of plastic, paint stains on the floor, aspirations of attending every event possible, and the firm knowledge that I will achieve 10% of any of these.
I have worked within the industry for a number of years, having worked and working for companies like Warlord Games and MiniWargaming.
Max has been involved with Wargames Atlantic for several years. First as a moderator of the Facebook Group and later as a retailer of our products through his store McDougall Designs.
Max is a formally trained historical researcher holding a bachelor's degree from the University of Central Florida. He was involved in the research behind some of our best-selling plastic sets like the Aztecs and Conquistadors and making sure the British Riflemen met regulations!
A little over five years ago Max delved into the world of 3D printing and sold printed models through McDougall Designs. He also taught himself how to support and blend 3D files and has been published in Wargames Soldiers and Strategy magazine discussing 3D printing.
Max's new role (and a newly created role for us) is to lead the development and management of all our Atlantic Digital products along with managing the relationships and products of third party publishers and creators. He will be managing not only the Atlantic Digital area on our site but also MyMiniFactory and our Tribes programs along with our products on Only-Games.co that are printed versions of the files.
“I think 3D printing is the next step in wargaming, or at the very least it is pointed in the right direction. I applaud Wargames Atlantic for being the first major plastics producer to offer 3D printed file-sets, and look forward to charting new ground in the hobby industry alongside Hudson and the team.”
Welcome Max!

Little was I to know that this young freelance sculptor was going to not only be the creative power behind dozens of our plastic sets but would go onto build a team to help take Wargames Atlantic to the next level!
Thieu Duong has just been promoted to Studio Director (what we call internally the Commander of the Craftsmen's Chamber) here at Wargames Atlantic where he will officially take on the role he has been playing informally - a role he really created himself - for many months even years.
Thieu with his wife Hoa and the cutest daughter Mint!
Over the years Thieu has not only taken more responsibilities here at Wargames Atlantic but he's gone from the motorcycle-riding single playboy to the dedicated husband and father.
Today he leads a studio of three full time sculptors along with a file supports specialist and is responsible for the management of the creative process turning sculpting briefs into ready-for-print or ready-for-plastic products. We suspect his team and the Studio will continue to grow as the number of plastic sets we create along with original games and the hundreds of digital files catalog continues to grow!
Congratulations Thieu and we can't wait to see what you create next!
]]>Over the next several weeks we will be adding the rest to get fully caught up and updating older product to allow for both puddle and non-puddle base options (where available). When you see the orange branding with "ATLANTIC PRINTED" you'll know you are purchasing printed products and not files.
Our main focus remains creating the best hard plastic sets - and lots of them! - but the Only-Games.co store helps those of you without access to 3D printers to get the HUGE number of Atlantic Digital files in physical form (188 sets and growing!)
Only-Games is currently manufacturing in the UK (shipping rates to the US and rest of world are fairly reasonable) but will be adding a US-based factory in 2024 which will make these even more accessible.
Pop on over to browse the 162-product catalog and pick up something for yourself!
]]>
And get yours here!
]]>There has been some early work done on this set but there's much more to do and we're very interested in hearing your thoughts on it as well! We have a page dedicated to the set in our forum here. Let us know what you think!

Voting remains fast and furious on the List of 12 with the Warring States Infantry in the lead but other sets making big gains like the Dark Age/Germanic Infantry Army Builder set. Once Conquistador Cavalry is ready for tooling we'll pick the next winner to move into pre-production orders.
]]>If we had a theme for 2023 it would be RESTOCKS! As you know we moved manufacturing from China to the US in late 2021 but it was a very, very painful move. Production mishaps, slowwwww production, mispacks, delays, and growing pains. So many growing pains. But like the phoenix we have been put through the fire and have risen anew!
Our US team is now firing on all thrusters and we actually have a significant amount of manufacturing overcapacity in place for the future. For the last several months we have been focused on reprinting boxes, running plastic, and filling up the three global warehouses we operate from (US, UK, and Australia). The Release Schedule page has gone from having dozens of out of stock items to - at the time of this writing - having 3 out of stock products. Two of those are back in stock next week including the long out-of-stock WW2 French Partisans (which had a mold issue that needed to be fixed and is now fully operational again). The last out of stock set - Afghan Warriors - just had the box reprinted and will be topped up just in time for the follow on set of Afghan Cavalry’s release next month. Happy Days!
Knock on wood, this new production speed and our refined inventory management system (which is always a challenge when three warehouses all the way around the world are involved!) will mean we can be well ahead of any product shortages before they actually go out of stock. So - Universe-willing - we should never have a product out of stock again (besides new products that are on pre-order before general release).
Now that the production and restock issues have been addressed, we’ve turned our attention to getting back on track! The US move really set us back about 2 years from our plan (no plan survives contact with the enemy as they say - or the on-shoring of lost manufacturing expertise!) So now it's time to really put the pedal to the metal.
Right at the end of 2023 we released the Grognard Cavalry and the Dark Ages Shields boxes. We quickly followed up in January with the Skeleton Cavalry and Chariots. The WW1 Russians and the Quar Game are on pre-order for release later this month (February 2024). Coming up we can look forward to the previously mentioned Afghan Cavalry in March, the British Expeditionary Force (a Vox Populi release - more on how that came about below), The Last War Game (more below on that too) at Salute in April, a new standalone horses set - Light Horses (the same ones that were used with the Afghan Cavalry), new textured 25mm round bases (3mm height with a bevel edge), Conquistador Cavalry (another Vox Populi release), the Citizens of Rome box (in partnership with Footsore Games and Miniatures for their Gangs of Rome game), and several sets that we haven’t even hinted at yet that are already in the engineering/tooling phase.
This year will also see the release of some new types of hard plastic sets from us. We’re very excited to test these ideas out and think you’re going to love them. More on that soon!
THE DAMNED
Last year also saw our first foray into the world of crowdfunding with our very successful campaign in partnership with MiniWargaming to release The Damned - a new faction for our Death Fields range. The Damned will be our largest release ever with a mind-boggling 13 hard plastic sets!
Along with continuing to push out regular new releases we have been working steadily to get all The Damned sets into hard plastic and will be accelerating that effort to get these out as fast as possible.
VOX POPULI
As we mentioned above, the new BEF and Conquistador Cavalry sets have successfully transitioned our new Vox Populi voting system. Many of you know how it works (and the whole thing is explained HERE on the website) but in short we gather votes via the form of gift vouchers you purchase that allocated votes to the 12 Vox Populi sets that are live at any one time. The set with the most votes moves onto a second phase of pre-production orders. When that set generates $6000 in pre-orders (with a nice discount for early backers) we then invest the rest ourselves to turn the idea into a hard plastic frame and set. Once one set goes through to plastic, we have a big poll to replace it in the list of 12 and the process begins again.
The BEF was the first to make it through and now Conquistador Cavalry have very quickly hit the $6000 goal and the parts are being refined for feedback so that we can get to a final frame layout and head to tooling. I can announce here that the Conquistador Cavalry is being replaced in the list of 12 with Classic Fantasy Elves which received the most votes this time around!
ORIGINAL GAMES
This Quar’s War: Clash of Rhyfles is a collaboration with Grimsical/Zombiesmith to bring their beloved Quar to hard plastic as part of a 2-player game that includes a 48 page rule book, activation cards, a poster/quick rules reference sheet, and 6 D6. This Quar’s War represents the first of many new tabletop products we will be producing both in partnership with others and as our own original games.
Next up will be The Last War in partnership with Will Rahman Daultrey which will feature his highly popular Forbidden Psalm: The Last War rules and our plastic WW1 figures along with all the things you need to play the game including dice and tokens. We plan to release the game for Salute in April.
But this is just the beginning. We have several rules sets in development and have been working behind the scenes to bring our own original games to life with some of the most brilliant rules developers in the industry! We are in no rush though and want to make sure we’re releasing games that are fun, original, easy to pick up, and a great value. These will eventually include both games-in-a-box type standalone games and larger rule sets that can cover a genre or historical period and be supported OF COURSE by lots and lots of plastic sets!
Our philosophy for original games is that they need to be supported with ongoing releases: scenarios, how-tos, battle reports, and of course more plastics. So we want to take our time and get it absolutely right the first time.
ATLANTIC DIGITAL
At the end of 2022 we began our foray into the digital/3D printing world with the launch of our Tribes subscription program on MyMiniFactory and the Atlantic Digital section of our site. To say this has been a success is the understatement of the year. We’ve been blown away by the response to our digital figures and it is just incredible to see folks posting painted examples of models we literally released hours before. We now have created over 200 digital products with at least 11 new ones being added each and every month!
The way Tribes works is that you pay $10-12/month to receive 11 sets of digital files. These include something for each of our ranges: First Empires, Decline and Fall, Blood Oaths, Renaissance, Napoleon’s Wars, Imperial Conquests, The Great War, World Ablaze, General Accoutrements, Classic Fantasy, and Death Fields. We know not everyone has a 3D printer or is even into 3D printed models, but for those of you who are it’s a tremendous value.
For those without printers you have two options - you can either send the files to a friend or service to print for you or you can purchase printed versions of the sets from our partners at Only-Games in the UK. Only-Games is also going to be launching a US-based service this year so for those in North America you won’t have to deal with shipping from the UK. We have been working to build products on Only-Games and hope to have all the sets on there in the next several weeks.
This year we also started a major expansion of the digital products store at Atlantic Digital with the addition of other creator’s 3D miniatures and also downloadable PDFs of rules, scenarios, and other publications like Henry Hyde’s wonderful imagi-nations book: Martinstaat 1744. This year we will continue to add new models and publications so if you know of anything that you think would be a good fit please let us know!
The digital area is also a great place for us to test out sets that could end up becoming plastic sets. So far several have gone this route with The Damned having been the first and now followed by the Les Grognard Cavalry and soon the Sneakfeet, Spanish Guerrillas for the Peninsular War, Werewolves, and others.
The other thing that has been amazing to watch with the digital products are the mashups and kitbashing that is being done not only between the digital sets but between the digital and plastic sets. We deliberately have made sure that there is cross-compatibility among our historical sets parts (heads, arms, etc) and also among Death Fields releases.
And that brings us to…
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
As I mentioned we take care to make sure there is cross-compatibility across the parts we make because we believe having more options leads to greater creativity and also can scratch an itch for those who can suddenly build a unit that would otherwise only be available in metal (and in many cases not available in any medium).
Another thing we strive for with our plastic sets particularly is trying to extend the use of the parts on the frame as fast as we can. Hence including sci-fi options on the Lizardmen and Landsknecht Ogres sets and huge numbers of head types in many of our historical sets.
We do these two things (cross-compatibility and lots of extra parts) because we’ve noticed a worrying trend in especially the plastic wargames world: mono-pose sets and “just enough” parts type sets.
First let’s talk about mono-pose sets. Hard plastic is arguably the best medium for wargame models - incredible detail, light yet sturdy, customizable, a dream to combine with plastic glue (stop using super glue!!!), and takes paint extremely well. But if you’re just going to give the customer a bunch of parts that can only be stuck together in one way - what’s the point? You might as well throw a one-piece pvc model in a box and call it a day. This method removes a huge part of what makes the hobby fabulous: customizing your models and army to be uniquely your own. We not only want you to build your figures in unique part combinations we are thrilled when you take parts from other places and customize. We will always strive to avoid designing mono-pose kits.
"WHY CAN I ONLY BUILD THIS MINIATURE ONE WAY?!?!"
Second, “just enough” parts sets. We believe in cramming as many options as we possibly can onto our frames. On one hand, yes we need to make sure you can get enough riflemen or spearmen in a set, but once some of these basic criteria are met let’s go crazy and get optional weapons, more head types, and more fun bits and bobs onto the frames. You won’t be able to use them all but this one set will be much more useful for a much wider group of hobbyists - whether they are building an army, kitbashing, or just painting and collecting. Some say “if only they didn’t have x or y on the frame they could put another body” but I would argue that bodies are not what creates the majority of the variety in the look of a unit.
There are only so many ways you can pose a body to be realistic for various fighting techniques, movement, etc. Advancing left foot forward, advancing right foot forward, legs planted shoulder-width, kneeling right foot ahead, kneeling left foot ahead, quick advance left foot off ground, etc. etc. and not all are appropriate for all types of units. I would tell you that another arm pose or other optional bits will get you more unique looks in your unit than another body would. Especially with arm poses where the full arm is available to model onto the torso giving you much more variety with how you pose or clip to angle. And let’s not get into the debate over whether or not prone or kneeling poses should be included!
Now, that all said, I’m certain someone out there is saying: “Ummm…Prussian Reserve?” And yes, you are right that it is both mono-pose and limited to only head choices. But it’s also an “Army Builder” set designed to flesh out your Prussian army with a lot of cannon fodder type troops that can be built and painted very quickly! And not to mention they’re a tremendous value! Let us know in the comments below if you’d like to see more Army Builder sets.
WARGAMES ATLANTIC OUTSOURCE
We continue to manufacture hard plastic products for other companies through Wargames Atlantic Outsource. The German Sentries and SAS sets were done in partnership with Grey For Now Games and we are hard at work on the next joint product for them. We have also been working with Footsore Miniatures and Games to bring out the Citizens of Rome hard plastic set and we’ll be doing more with them in 2024.
Pete the Wargamer had a successful Kickstarter to create a “Dead Animal Bits” frame that he’s hired us to produce and that is in process. We have also done a significant amount of hard plastic frames for a customer who we will be able to talk about once those products are out in the “wild”. And we are always being approached with projects that may eventually turn into more plastic.
DISTRIBUTION
We continue to sell through our website and service customers (depending on where you live) from the US, UK, and Australian warehouses. For EU customers we have been using the IOSS system through our partner Sarissa Precision in the UK (who manages our warehousing and fulfillment). IOSS pre-pays VAT for EU orders that have a combined (product and shipping price) of €150 (so EU customers try to keep your orders under €150! Shipping is free for any order over $50 so break them up into smaller orders and it will help make sure the postman doesn’t try to squeeze you before delivery - although we’ve had a few incidents of clueless postal people trying to double charge!)
Our sales team has been significantly growing our distribution through both distributors (who sell on to brick and mortar stores) and to stores directly. If your FLGS (friendly local gaming shop) isn’t stocking us, ask them why and let us know who they are and we’ll do our best to help them order from a distributor or directly from us.
ROLL ON 2024
So there we have it, some ponderings on 2023 and what’s been happening and some glimpses into 2024. I’m most excited to show off some of the new product types we’ve been experimenting with over the last few months. We closed out 2023 with 41 hard plastic products in the catalog. We’ve already added 3 so far so let’s see where we end up as we start our 6th year!

We've been watching and taking note of #voxatlantic listings. We've added some new ones to this list along with the sets that are definitely in the production queue no matter what (although keep in mind these are not the ONLY sets in the production queue and you will most definitely see other ones in plastic before some of these!)
But the Vox Populi lets YOU decide through voting not only which sets get onto the List of 12 but which of those are pushed ahead for production. So without further ado we give you the BIG LIST. The top vote earner from this list will move onto the List of 12!

In this article I am going to discuss digital kitbashing, as well as go through the process step by step. Please note that while this is how I go about this process, it is not the only way. I encourage you to experiment and have fun learning.
What is Digital Kitbashing?
Digital kitbashing is a phrase that came about during the advent of 3D printing. The term describes taking pieces from two or more STL file sets and “bashing” them together, similar to how hobbyists have converted miniatures in other media (plastic, metal, resin) for decades. The key detail is that this is done digitally before printing the physical result.
Kitbashing before printing allows a hobbyist to combine parts without having to worry about gluing individual pieces together (which, with resin parts, can occasionally be challenging.) While the process is relatively intuitive, there are some factors that new hobbyists may miss, and this article aims to assist with that.
For this example, conversion, I will be using the Xerxes Triumphant, Egyptian Undead, and Classic Fantasy Cultists sets from Atlantic Digital to create a Lich King. In many RPG settings, a lich is a penultimate undead creature able to terrorize entire kingdoms. They also make great leaders for undead armies in wargaming.
To do this, we will need to have the sets unzipped in a folder, along with a program to manipulate them with. I use 3D builder from Microsoft, which is free, and many times already installed on Windows PCs.
HOT TIP: Save your work regularly! First as a .3mf project file (if working with 3d Builder) and then as an STL file when complete.
Step 1: Open Parts in 3D Builder
This step is simple but crucial. I select the parts I want to use and gather them in an open 3D Builder window. Doing so allows you to get a rough idea of how you want things to go together. I also orient the parts at this time so that I can have a better view as I work. Often 3D Builder will open files at odd angles. For example, the Xerxes body used in this conversion loaded in on his back.
You can orient such files by selecting them, and then choosing the selection method via the tool bar at the bottom of the window. Then, use the directional arrows that appear to orient the file how you wish.
Step 1.5: Remediate File Issues
Sometimes, files open at larger sizes. Sometimes they open and the software identifies an issue. In both cases, you have to remediate these issues before you continue. For the former, you can simply adjust the files unit size when it loads in (see the image below.)
If the software identifies an issue, it will either load in with a red border around the object, or simply not load the object at all. If the object loads with a red border, I suggest waiting until you have all your parts gathered before selecting those with issues and clicking repair.
Step 2: Initial File Editing
As you may be able to tell, the head I’ve picked for this conversion is rather large compared to the body. This is solved by selecting the file, clicking the scaling option on the toolbar, and dragging inwards from one of the corners that appears.
It's important to note that scaling like this can sometimes cause issues with loss of detail, however for a head like this, I don’t think there will be much of an issue.
Step 3: Loose File Joins – AKA Dry-Fitting Parts
By selecting parts in turn and maneuvering them with your mouse (click and drag, in essence) you can dry fit parts. In this way, you can identify if you need to adjust file scaling and fine-tune your conversion. This is also the step where your miniature starts to come together.
HOT TIP: If you have a file selected, you can hold the shift button on your keyboard and click + drag the file into place with greater precision than if not holding the shift button.
Step 4: Strengthening Join Locations
Now that we have our lich with all his extremities roughly in place, it’s time to fill in any gaps and otherwise make the joinery at the arms and neck strong. If you want to check for hollow areas, you can hover your cursor over the parts listed on the right-hand side of the 3d Builder window and the program will make them semi-translucent until you move your cursor.
To strengthen the joints, we are going to introduce primitives. For those who don’t know, primitives are simple shapes like spheres and cylinders. On the toolbar at the top of the 3D Builder screen you will see a tab that says insert. You can then click on the primitive that you want to use. For this conversion, I’m going to stick with spheres.
As you can see above, the sphere spawns in at a rather large size. Use the scaling tool to decrease this, as discussed in Step 2. The sphere also spawns colored, and you can adjust this in the paint tab at the top of the screen. You can also do this for any other part, but you must have the part you want to edit selected.
Manipulate your sphere and place it in the joint you want to strengthen. In this case, I’ve started with the right arm.
As shown in the image below, the sphere overlaps and extends out past the sculpted arm. To resolve this, you can select the sphere and use the scaling tool to adjust its size and the directional arrows to adjust its shape.
Once satisfied, repeat this process for the other joins. If you want to speed up your work, select the sphere you’ve already made and then navigate to the object tab at the top of the screen. You can then click duplicate and a new sphere/primitive shape will appear on the same axis as your previous item.
The key here is that you extend the primitive shape into the main body, so that any gaps are filled.
Step 5: Merge Parts
Once satisfied, select all your parts, navigate to the edit tab at the top of the window, and click merge. This process will combine all the parts into a single item and may take a moment or two to complete.
Final Steps:
After merging your new model together, I highly recommend that you save it as an STL file, rather than updating the save on your project file. In this way, you can preserve the project file if you want to edit the model in the future (such as changing out the arms – particularly useful when making converted infantry models.)
Once saved in STL form, your new model is ready to be supported and printed. You can support it yourself (and I highly recommend anyone 3D printing learn to support their own models) but that would be an entire article of its own.
Below you can see the completed model made during this tutorial, sat on the throne from the Xerxes set (but not merged, this is just dry fit to test.) He looks ready to lay some dark magic down on some unsuspecting dungeon delving adventurers!
In closing, digital kitbashing is an invaluable tool for a hobbyist looking to 3d print their own figures. You can create truly unique armies and miniatures in this way and make a collection that is uniquely yours. I hope you enjoyed this step-by-step process.

]]>We have a winner! Conquistador Cavalry has moved out of voting and is now up for pre-production order!
This set beat out the other 11 with an impressive 1872 votes on Vox Populi. We now have to hit our pre-production goal of $6,000 to send it to tooling!
We'll be updating progress on the page in our Legion Forum here. So follow along or add your thoughts!
So how does this all work? We want to make sure there is enough support for this set to make the investment in hard plastic. To do that we're taking pre-production pre-orders. The good news? By doing a pre-production order you're getting some hefty discounts! $29.95/£21 for a box (regular retail price will be $34.95/£25) but there are also 3, 5, and 10 box deals that give even larger discounts!
Once we hit $6,000 in pre-production orders we'll stop taking orders and Wargames Atlantic will invest the additional funds to pay for tooling and production. When they are produced the pre-production backers will receive their boxes first. Those discounted prices will NOT be available after the pre-production period closes. Of course if we don't hit $6,000 we'll refund the money - but we expect that won't be a concern.
We'll also be updating the Vox Populi 12 for more voting - as soon as this set reaches it's goal we'll be picking a new set to follow!

Timothy A. Gilkes please email us so we can get you your frame!
]]>This is a very useful set that can be built a number of ways depending on what you'd like to do. We've included extra rider bodies so that you can either mix in some muscled cuirass or make all plain skeletons. Leaving off the Greek bits and adding in our Dark Ages Shields you can create Dark Age-themed skeletons as well.
There are 10 horses and two chariots so it's up to you if what ratio you'd like to make. There are two standing bodies on each frame so even if you put two crew onto each chariot you'll be able to field an additional 8 infantry with this set. Separate puddle bases are included to provide a stronger foundation for the infantry.
Options for the build could include:
* 2 chariots with 2 crew, 6 cavalry, 6 infantry
* 1 chariot with crew, 8 cavalry, 8 infantry
* 0 chariots (save them for your Trojan armies!), 10 cavalry, 10 infantry
Models can be equipped with bow, javelin, or sword and with options for full command.
There are five of the above frame in each box along with 2 chariot frames.

And here is where we are:
As you can see there are a lot of parts that aren't fitting currently including most of the duplicated items that are needed on the frame to outfit the six figures. There are some extra covered helmet heads that can go away without much fuss.
But before we took our red Sharpie to this we wanted to hear from you! Let us know what you would like to see done here to get to a complete, final frame of parts.
(Also keep in mind that some of these parts can also end up on the weapons team frame)
Opine away below!

The set allows you to build the horses with or without armor and is compatible with our other Grognard sets so you can mix and match arms, heads, and other components.
Get yours here!
