A big update in our Articles and news section! Perhaps the start of an annual state of Atlantic report! Statum Atlanticum Anno MMXXII
Sorry just saw this! We're going to update things this week - we're just a bit behind on things because we realized it was going to be a nightmare trying to get this release out of China with the w...
Check out a new video review of the Cannon Fodder at Spikey Bits and keep an eye out for Cannon Fodder 2 - the all female set coming soon in 2022!
@Don Williams tbh Atleast its a 35 man box. your basically getting the officers for free. The MGs are coming as a seperate kit and will hopefully come with some cool new inf >.>
Conversely, one can use the French Adrian helmet heads on the Italian bodies and have a nice representation of second string Italian units.
Description for the previously posted Dragoon picture.
Reference the photo: I'm not convinced the middle Soldier is wearing a fez, nor am I convinced he's Senegalese.
@Thunderplunk different models of the hotkiss loaded from the right and the rigid mag was eventually replaced with belts.
@Yronimos Whateley every major power expiremented with body armour. Only the western front saw mass use tho. UK Italy Austria Germany and France all used a form of body armour in ww1
Has anyone ever tried making and printing their own shield transfers on an ordinary home inkjet printer? I bought a couple packs of printable transfer sheets a year ago for something like this pur...
Reminds me of the requests beign made for Italian Arditi in similar armor - might be a good way to cover some of that territory, if WA were able to include some armored WWI figures in these kits th...
So, some of you have started this project, I owe inspiration for to Pete the Wargamer over on youtube. My question is this: What are you guys doing with your leftover Germans? I've been con...
@Mike Higgins This Pandemic, moving home, an injury, it brought a horrible scence of my own mortality and too many things. I really cleaned it all out 67years young, and i finally...
@Grumpy Gnome Got them my friend. they match well with Perry, great with Rubicon, and when used with the civilians now got by Warlord, the very best WW2 conservation groups can be made, few R...
I hear you Geoff, that lack of consistency is frustrating. Particularly when things go out of production. I have been watching some original Wargames Factory WW2 US Infantry on EBay but I am ...
@D34dly K @Grumpy Gnome The original figures of Wargames Foundry and Defiance make up my modern and Si/Fi, broke my heart when Warlord got hold of them WF`s as up went the price down came the quant...
Very nice! Only gripe I have is that the Hotchkiss should be feeding from a rigid strip of rounds from the left, rather than a soft belt from the right – but other than that, great job!
@john Sullivan Have you tried Relic Miniatures? https://www.relicminiatures.com/product/wargames-atlantic-skeleton-warriors/
It is hard for me to get my head around such small tanks. Too much time with Bradleys and Abrams.
Actually quite fascinating. My love for post-apoc fiction is grounded in my own experiences dealing with various real world incidents including natural disasters in the US military and British poli...
@Brian Van De Walker I understand Warlord is “heroic scale” whereas Perry aims for more realistically scaled. I am very surprised to find myself preferring the cartoonish &l...
Does anyone make any plastic kits with camel cavalry? I think Reaper does some pack camels in their Bones plastic but I can not think of any multipart plastic kits with camel cavalry. I know I stru...
Does anyone know, who makes shield transfers which will fit the larger WA Skeleton Shields?
Looking good! Hose and water can for cooling the 08 is a nice touch.
I know these were just posted but I wanted to suggest that these new MG sets come with some unqiue crew. I believe it would be nice to get some of the WW1 body armours as a option in this kit. It ...
@Yronimos Whateley I really think it should be the other way around and they should do it for fantasy primarily with Sci-Fic being an afterthought since the Female Cannon Fodder set is probably en...
We're working on HMGs for the French and Germans. Let us know what you think!
@Yronimos Whateley Probably are, they really liked those great coats.
@Brian Van De Walker that is the problem when one replies from a cellphone, it induces sighs onto others. I ment exactly that, "human" legs, plain pants, boots. Just let me use this for a li...
@Grumpy Gnome Bro, Warlord is just that bad at scaling, a lot of the weapons they pack with their kits that are bigger in scale then 1/56-1/48 which is the norm for 28mm wargaming. I could l...
@Vitor Soares (sigh) I have been meaning to bring it up and have not since I to have sinned this way a few times on here, but "generic" is not a real good description as it can mean anything...
@Yronimos Whateley Sci-fi would be a logical first for vehicles yes, but I am pretty sure the tracks belong to an Italian L3/35 tankette from WW2 (the smaller of the two tanks here in the photo, t...
@Yronimos Whateley I have no hands on expirience with historicals, but I agree that the scale of WA Heroics is fine as is, not as over the top as a certain competitor. Personally I like the heroic...
My thoughts echo those of@Yronimos Whateley.
@Geoff Maybury ah. was this on the social media or did I miss the blog post? I thought you were implying that the post made by one "John Wilson" was offical.
I suppose, one win would be do them both ways, but if they`re heroic I probabally won`t buy them, as I really want that extra realism.
@Yronimos Whateley Thank you for your praise, its a shame you missed out, the only time 1/48Th scale is a pain, is when its real, a US police car comes up to a figures shoulders at its ...
@Brendan O'Connor Thank you.
Looks fantastic! Now I wish I'd scooped a few of those Dust models up a couple years ago when I saw a bunch on sale somewhere - I don't think the scale/size were listed, so I assumed they ...
I would expect it's Wargames Atlantic's "heroic" style, which seems to me to be rather restrained in the case of the Cannon Fodder characters compared to what you might get from, say, Games Worksho...
The Release Schedule is a great tool for looking at the progress of things in the pipeline, but I think we should take it as an estimate only, with thinks in production being on the drawing board u...
Egyptians get my vote!
Great terrain piece. I thought it was actual backyard landscaping at first!
@Mike Higgins thanks! I figure if they are going over the top the backpacks would weigh them down. I agree the dark grey sprue can make it hard to see some of the detail at time! I was ...
I used to play warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy Battles, and Battletech. But thats is quite some years in the past. Right now I am just enjoying painting and modelling. Funnily enough I still feel...
I have to respectfully disagree. I`d love them to be in Heroic scale, as another Death field faction. The pics look good in any case, and to have them as set, regardless of scale, seems promising
@Daniel Sauerwein since I checked last night they have updated the release schedule. It appears they're currently being printed, so that is progress.
28mm for me, all the way. We had some other scales we started but we decided to focus on 28mm instead and got rid of the others. Trying to get as many applications out of miniatures and terrain is ...
