Wargames Atlantic Fire Up Pre-Orders & Questions For The Future
March 3, 2020 by brennon
Wargames Atlantic last week fired up pre-orders for two more of their Historical kits. You are now able to dive in and get your hands on two new plastic kits ahead of a release in late March. First up we have the Dark Age Irish.
So, this set gives you a range of awesome looking troops to throw into the mix during your Dark Age (and admittedly Medieval) battles. You get all manner of awesome bits and bobs in this kit to make a selection of really nice looking plastic figures which could be used as part of a warband or in a larger army.
As well as the thirty warriors you also get yourself ten war dogs who can help to hunt down those nefarious foes that try and escape your clutches. I really like that you get that little something different in the set which suits the theme.
Afghan Warriors
As well as the models above you can now also get your hands on a set of Afghan Warriors from a very different time period.
This selection of warriors, armed with rifles, swords, shields and more, are meant for use in the 1800 and 1900 periods but you could also use them as far back as the 1700s if you were prepared to tinker with them a little bit. They come as a dynamic set once again, packed full of action poses which are perfect for skirmish games. Also, there are another forty of them to pick up here so you are not lacking for support!
Looking Ahead
As well as these two new plastic kits which are in line for later this month we also got a peek at their survey where they began asking what we'd like to see next. As Gerry pointed out to me, they have been looking at making miniatures for all sorts of different periods that don't normally get covered.
Maybe you'd like some 1904-1905 Russians v Japanese or Maori v British from the 1860s? Perhaps you fancy the Merovingian Franks v Sub-Romans or the Spanish Conquistadores v Aztecs? There are lots of options they have put on the tabletop and you can have a say in the process.
What would you like to see them do next?
"Maybe you'd like some 1904-1905 Russians v Japanese or Maori v British from the 1860s?"
Really looking forward to both of these sets. I’ve already voted and not to sway anyone but plastics for 28mm Trojan War anyone? That would finally make a truly epic version possible.
Went for the Mycenaeans v Trojans matchup as well (as it’s a period usually ignored), who’s up for a bit of Bronze Age?
The 1980’s moderns, and Vietnam stuff was a bit tempting, but both of these periods don’t really lend themselves to 28mm gaming (probably 25mm or 20mm would serve better). HOWEVER I would have like to see some options there that built up on what they have already released (more Dark Age sets for example).
I own the Halflings and Skeletons, great kits and looking forward to the Irish (especially the head that looks like Gerry).
Looking great – already ordered 3 boxes of Grognards for an upcoming project, would love to get my hands on the halflings too…
I know they are Dark Age, but could you use these against Imperial Romans? Love the aesthetic, and would love to do some Romans invading Ireland shenanigans…
Great figures particularly the Irish warriors.
80’s NATO vs Soviets … in plastic ?
if only there was a system that supported that 😀
We can dream, right ?
I chose Vietnam. My thinking is bolt action have moved forward in time from WW2 to Korea, eventually they’ll get to Vietnam, by which time these could have been made and maybe even painted ?
I’d buy those! ??
The Dark Age Irish look a brilliant box.
Personally I’d vote Vietnam.
That’s three of us for Vietnam. ?
I’m putting the ‘Afghan Warriors’ set on my buy list for my British Victorian Army. Still working on building up native troops to face off against the Queen’s troops!??
