Panzer Lehr WWII Squads + Warring States From Wargames Atlantic!
September 28, 2021 by brennon
Wargames Atlantic had even more news to share over the last few days. The first bit of news is that we're getting another World War II World Ablaze set with the plastic Panzer Lehr coming up for pre-order soon.
Panzer Lehr Division // Wargames Atlantic
The Panzer Lehr Division is another of their detailed 28mm kits that will give you the core of a good force to use when diving into some World War II action on the tabletop. We got a look at the plastic sprues for this kit not too long ago showing off what's included for hobbyists to play around with.

So, lots of rifles, submachine guns, machine guns and more. You get plenty of grenades for clearing people out of cover and the bits and pieces you need to make dynamic looking troopers. You also get a good range of heads to choose from as well including some unhelmeted options which are nice to see.
Watch out for more on the Panzer Lehr Division coming to their webstore very soon. Also, the team are working towards the production of miniatures over in the US as well. So, if you're on that side of the pond then you'll have access to some excellent miniatures very soon.
Ancient China - The Warring States
As well as working on those new World War II miniatures, we also had a preview of the new Ancient Chinese Armoured Infantry which are coming soon from sculptor Michael Sng.

This gives you a look at the different options that are already going to be included on the plastic sprue for these new 28mm miniatures. You've got a range of weapons that are accurate to the period as well as bodies covered in that familiar armour that you might have seen sculpted onto the Terracotta Army.
Another of the cool things about this kit is that Michael Sng has actually put together a video discussing why he sculpted certain items on this sprue AND the period in general.

This gives great insight into why this kit is organised as it is. As well as learning a bit of military history, you also get a look at some of the early prototype miniatures as well. It's well worth watching if you've got twenty minutes!
Are you tempted by these upcoming releases by Wargames Atlantic?

Thgose Warring States minis look interesting and I hope they expand it to include other types of troops

Warring states stuff looks very intriguing – don’t know why but I’m thinking getting them alongside the Mythic Americas Tribal Nations for some fantasy Chinese exploration of America sort of thing
Great idea ?
Ohhh, looks like I’m going to get myself some terracotta soldiers for …, eh, some game … definitely some game.
Dragon Rampant, Saga, and several other mini agnostic fantasy games exist not to mention Cathay fan made Rules for Warhammer Fantasy, you could also try Path of Bones I suppose or look at the other Wuxi inspired games on One Book Shelf(or pulp games since Terracotta warriors coming to life is pretty pulply): https://www.wargamevault.com/product/117633/Path-of-Bones?src=also_purchased
I know, I was just trying to say that I’m definitely not buying them just because I want them. 😉
Well that’s you. Me, I am shameless and wish these guys had been around back when I started collecting in 2012.
Can’t wait for those Warring States Chinese to come out so they can battle my Samurai in fantasy land.
