Wargames Atlantic’s 28mm Harvesters Swarm Sci-Fi Tabletops
October 14, 2022 by brennon
Wargames Atlantic has added another plastic kit to their Sci-Fi collection this week. A swarm of 28mm Harvesters are going to be swarming over the tabletop, a mass of Alien Bugs that need to be squashed!
Harvesters - Alien Bugs Box // Wargames Atlantic
This new set of thirty miniatures builds on the Death Fields collection and offers up something gribbly and utterly terrible for you to face on the tabletop. Sometimes you just need an unthinking and unending wave of monsters to battle against.

There are enough elements in the set for you to build twenty of the big Alien Bugs alongside ten of the smaller of their kind. Whilst most of the swarm come with massive blades for legs useful in melee combat, there are also a few bits on the sprue for making ranged weapons as well. Lovely bioweapons are lovely!

Standing a little taller than a regular soldier in 28mm, these Alien Bugs feel like an imposing and deadly option for your tabletop wargames. Getting thirty of them for £25 also means that you should be able to build up quite the force relatively cheaply.
Whilst these could be used for mass battle wargames, I think the real awesomeness here is going to be in using these for smaller games. These would be perfect as wandering alien monsters in games like Stargrave for example.
There's also nothing to say that these Alien Bugs can't be fearsome creatures for your Fantasy heroes to face either. Plenty of terrible dark lords have swarms of strange creatures at their side.

"These would be perfect as wandering alien monsters in games like Stargrave for example..."
Those are really nice.
Those look good, I can see those popping up in star grave
Starship Troopers will be bricking it.
And I think they’d be great to throw in front of an RPG party… demonic creatures for fantasy and alien beasts for SF.
These look great and I’ll certainly be getting a box.
Great, another set from Wargames Atlantic to put on the wishlist.
To be honest what I have seen so far this bug set is looking pretty cool and I am definitely going to pick up a set or two ?
The minis are fertile ground for the upcoming ‘Xenos Rampant’ from Osprey Games.
Ooh nice. Time to leave an Nuke the site from orbit.
Great for planet Murder.
They look perfect for Enderain NPCs!
Going to grab at least one box for Insurgent Earth. These and a couple of Reaper Bathalians as overseers and I’ve got a great opforce.
I can see these having loads of uses, yet another excellent kit from Wargames Atantic!
It’s been 20+ years since I finished with 40k and Sci-Fi, I miss that Rogue Trader flexibility, creativity and inventiveness that was left to the players. This range has inspired me to kick things off again, BIG!
