Lion Rampant is a great foundational rule set that lends itself to so many conversions. Great stuff.

In Tolkien (the books) goblins and orcs are the same thing and we felt this was about right for the look. Of course, the movies and D&D and everyone since have decided that since he used two na...
thanks to my son, we've been devouring a ton of Tolkien related material. How has the group found the goblins as proxies for 'regular' orcs in table top gaming?
There was a discussion (with a poll) some time ago on FB about ranges by Wargames Atlantic done in different Scales. Let's use this Thread to talk about this topic. A Range of WW2 and Cold War the...
Those are nice Miniatures, fitting for most Germanic People of Late Antiquity.
@Simon Boulton Similary to the germanic Guards on that Fresco with Emperor Justinian and Belisarius.
For the New KIngdom Egypt, the logical Range expansions for Enemies would be Hittites, then followed by Sea People (which also can act as mercenaries). Arzawa States (Troy) and Mycenians would als...
Thanks guys we're trying!
Hopefully they include heavy weapons in the base set. I really liked the heavy weapons set. Wasn't so keen on the limited selection of weapons, but I understood why.
The animal set absolutely does look like it'll be a lot of fun - I know some other company already has a similar set out there somewhere, and it is a nice enough set, but variety is quite welcome, ...
I know exactly what you mean - back in the day, I used to have a large collection of 1/144, 1/72, and 1/48 stuff, in addition to some 2" figures, and 25mm-28mm stuff, and kind of mixed-and-matched ...
I saw these adaptations of the Lion Rampant rules when they were first created and thought it sounded like my kind of project. Unfortunately most of the ranges in metal were a bit too expensive for...
Arrr, be there pirates in the works? That certainly looks like the same table the Goths preview was photographed on, and if so, that's awesome - I can hardly wait! The ship alone ...
Bronze Age/Trojan War -- Glad to see New Kingdom Egyptians in the works, but I'm hoping WA also rounds out the rest of the field with Mycenaeans, Trojans, Babylonnians, Hittites, Mitanni, Luwians, ...
I see great minds think alike! Mine are obviously for the upcoming Space Brits.
honestly i'd hope that if WGA does "space jungle fighters" they'd draw more on the Colonial Marines from Aliens than on the Games Workshop Catachans. even if they end up being used as the latter, b...

We are doing the first work on transfers now. Designs are in progress and we're talking to several printers for higher volume production.
Great news! Thank you WA staff for your hard work.
Today's article mentioned Firelock. Is Wargames Atlantic the ones doing the pirate sloop and crew for that kickstarter? The Sprues certainly look like WA... what section would be the place to talk ...
This is exciting news. Also, goats.
Currently trying to Persianize my Halflings. Will take any suggestions regarding this you may have!
I can imagine Aussies giving anything a go when it comes to mounts
Something riding Camels
Something that may interest others is that Mantic are putting out a new version of Warpath: Firefight. Good use for Deathfields Minis!
Great article, love the animal idea.
I started with a real mix of scales, when my first really modern R.P.G. came out,it was. Twilight 2000. God over the years, we used 1/72, 1/ 87, 1/48. 1/200th. Guess what 8 people buying, and...
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...
