Quick Look: Wargames Atlantic – Skeletons, Troopers & RGD Fauns
May 15, 2019 by dracs
Wargames Atlantic sent over some previews of their latest plastic miniatures.
First, we have these Fauns, currently on Kickstarter from RGD Gaming.
Wargames Atlantic helped RGD Gaming to create these plastics. They capture the classic style of mythical fauns and gives you plenty of options to build them as a fantasy force.
Lurching behind them, we find Wargames Atlantic's own Skeleton Infantry.
These guys are currently up for pre-order, seeing release this month, and capture a classic Harryhausen-style look.
They proved a bit more fiddly to put together at points, but their sprue offered a good level of variety and that ancient Greek style is one that really makes me want to see a full army of them.
Finally, we have Wargames Atlantic's Raumjager Infantry, also up for pre-order.
The Raumjager Infantry have a particularly impressive selection of weapons available to them, and I really appreciated the different head options they have available.
However, the non-helmeted head options do have a tendency to sink down into the heavy collar and uniform of the model, making them a bit squat.
Of the three, these were perhaps my least favourite, but a lot of that can be put down to my own preference for fantasy over sci-fi.
All in all, we are left with a very good array of figures here that will fit well into plenty of different games and settings. I hope we get to see more of them, as well as some other additions to fit into their force.
Which of these three catch your eye?
2p basing, Saga, but Gerry has got much shorter and less beardy…
But being serious, I am saving my pennies for the Skellies!
They all look good.
My favorite are the faun.
An army of them would be awesome. Hope they get the centaur to.
We just announced that we would start a base sprue of the centaurs if we broke the 10k mark. I was unsure if folks wanted more bang for the buck, so we just decided to do the best of both worlds.
Greek skellibobs the undoubted highlight for me. I’m actually after a few but have some old, old 80s GW skellies saved. A varied first offering and definitely a company I’ll watch.
ooh they all look good.
Makes me regret already having enough skellies in a more medieval stylie…
Can you ever have enough Skellies?
Is that a rhetorical?
make no bones about there is such a thing
I like all three,
the fauns are nice and i’d probably pick up a pack to mess around with (read: kit bash and theme them to different ideas i have)
the skellies are great and its awesome that the greekness brings them away from the skull and bats drudgery out there, however i don’t have as much use for these, but i do admire them
the troopers i will be picking up a pack or so for “generic bad guy/good guy” muscle” they looks great
also not badly priced either
Never seen fawn minis before. These are pretty cool. Love the Harryhausen skellies.Really cool!
