Wargames Atlantic Prepare New WWI Plastic German Infantry
April 21, 2020 by brennon
Wargames Atlantic is preparing for the release of a new set of Historical plastic infantry soon. Previews of the sprues came through recently for their World War I German Infantry which has been on the cards for a while now.
The set, as you can see, is going to come with a myriad of different infantry options. As well as some standard and well-known options for the Germans in World War I, you can also see some of the options which show the transition from World War I and into the kit which became iconic in World War II.
As mentioned above, the team at Wargames Atlantic also took the time to share some images of the sprues as they are now too.
There are a few little things that need cleaning up before the plastic set actually releases, but you can see that a lot of fun bits and pieces are included within the kit. As there are a lot of companies that produce Germans in World War II and of course British for World War I, it's good to see Wargames Atlantic looking to work on something a little different. Plus, this also looks towards the Late War period which is also a departure from other ranges.
What do you make of the plastics so far and will you be picking them up?

I want these , NOW !
I like the variety of parts on the spurs.
Very good. And as there are many Pickelhauben included, you can build the German army 1914 – 1916 as well. That´s what I call versatility. We´ll have to check out, whether there´ll be flamethrower and HMG option, too.
And the next kit is going to be and must be the French. Ne passerons pas!
Oh, I need these for ‘Blood and Valor’.
Look’n good! ??
My thoughts exactly!
If they ever do one of the other factions I might be adding B&V to my collection as well …
My wallet hopes they won’t 😉
They look great! Be tempted to use these alongside mini’s for Very British Civil War or the Spanish Civil War, even Russian Civil War minis and have a crack at some less well known engagements. Freikorps actions against the Spartacists or the Baltic Wars of Independence, may even be able to get away with fudging the right minis for a recreation of the Munich Putsch! Who wouldn’t want to have a crack at gunning down Hitler in the street? WW1 fascinates me, but always thought that to do it justice I’d want to use smaller scales. Who knows. Stormtrooper actions… Read more »
The Munich Putsch or a Freikorps idea is a cracking idea for a game or project. If your looking for a small scale for The Great War baccus have a growing range in 6mm or there’s Kallistra at 10mm they do both an early or late war.
Very nice. I like the fact that these look like they could cover the entire wae.
Nice. Good to see affordable plastics for this war. I’d like to see ottomans
These are great looking 28mm miniatures. Pity I do 15mm. I love the variety of kit you can add to each miniature. This will be very handy for modelling a trench raiding party for skirmish gaming of WW1. 😀
