The British Soldiers Are Here From Wargames Factory!
June 5, 2014 by brennon
Wargames Factory have released their American War of Independence British Infantry set for you to pick up! Maybe you can re-fight the battles of the period and keep America in the firm grasp of the Empire?
As you can see they look pretty awesome! In the set you get enough bits and pieces to make thirty miniatures. You'll be able to make twenty four troopers, two officers, two standards, two drummers and and a sergeant. All the parts are also interchangeable with the rest of their upcoming range so you can make some more ragtag looking British soldiers if you like!
Taking a look at the sprues it seems like Wargames Factory have got things pretty down this time around. Gone are the craning necks of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings!
Will you be starting your own War of Independence?
I’m kinda excited about these minis, I made some decent conversions with the Dark futures bodies using the leftover lasgun arms from my IG sprues. With these I may be able to make some nice retro mordian guard stand-ins 🙂
Very cool idea!
Definitely like how you can choose what “type” of British infantry you’re setting up (to an extent), since they give you choices of headgear (i.e., a light infantry regiment or the dreaded grenadiers).
The details look great, and the price isn’t bad at all (works out to about a buck per figure, after tax and shipping presumably).
All we need now are some Hessians, Rebels, Loyalist militia, and Iroquois Confederacy!
They do look better than some of their earlier offerings. I am guessing these might even be usable in the earlier war against the French in Canada.
