Wargames Atlantic’s New Prussians & Army Builder Range
January 6, 2021 by brennon
Wargames Atlantic are hammering out the previews for what's coming later in 2021. One such pack is another of the Napoleonic sets and their Prussian Reserve Army which is marching in step and ready for battle.

This is a nice next step for their growing Napoleonic collection and of course, we've already seen the excellent British Riflemen they have been putting together. The difference with this set is that it's actually part of their new Army Builder range.

The Army Builder range is different in that it offers up sixty miniatures for you to use when bulking up your army quickly. This means that whilst you've got plenty of detail worked into the miniatures, you don't have as many options. Also, as you will have noticed, you just need to slot the heads on and they are basically good to go.
I think this is a great idea and it's probably going to be very, very handy for those who want to make large Napoleonic armies for the tabletop. The cool thing is that Wargames Atlantic is going to be releasing these for the same price as their regular packs.
The sculpting here comes from Thieu Duong and the painting for the box art was by Matthew Leahy and it's certainly getting me interested in how fun it would be to build a Napoleonic force.
Do you see this product as a benefit for your army building?

60 to a box and I bet even the box is well put together ?
Definitely going to pick some of the Army Builder boxes up when I finish painting what I already have… Wargames Atlantic are really doing a fantastic job these days. Great models, good price points and interesting lines
Ooh nice looking troops.
OMG, like Wargames Atlantic hasn’t taken enough of my money! Great idea!
nice idea
Really impressed with the way they’re going about this kit, whether you’re doing enormous regiments or like me where I tend to do them roughly half-size at 20ish men to a unit (struggle to find space for big games so I have to cut my unit sizes down to the bone) I love that I’ll have the flexibility. Besides, loads of decent metal officers out there!
Wonder if I could get away with using these as Russian Opolchenie?
Really like the idea of the big boxes. I could be tempted to get into Napoleonics with the price and ease of these kits.
Great idea. How do they compare in size to other plastics such as Perry and Warlord?
