April 18, 2014 by brennon
Wargames Factory have previewed some of their British Infantry from the War of Independence range that will be hitting their webstore soon. See what you think of them at this stage...
These are some great looking Infantry and appear a lot less wooden when compared to some of their earlier sets. They appear to have oodles of customisation options much like other kits in the range.
It's going to be interesting when we see some of the other ways you can put them together and of course the future holds the potential for a lot more from this period.
Will you be picking up buckets of these?
I kinda like them though I think they would need to release more than 6 boxes to cover all the troop types of the war

In all honesty its not a period I would do in 28mm I woukld go 10mm with Kallistra or Pendraken or maybe 15 at a pinch
I think they’ll have trouble competing with the Perry Brothers, even price wise.
They do look very nice compared to their earlier ranges.
It is a period I have always wanted to do and after seeing Front Ranks 40mm I’m hooked….
