Unboxing – Les Grognards | Wargames Atlantic
February 24, 2020 by avernos
Today we take a look at Les Grognards from Wargames Atlantic and how they're rallying French troops across the ages.
Gerry is taking a look at another tasty offering from Wargames Atlantic. This time it's a collection of French troops across the last couple of centuries fired into a sci-fi setting. The truly staggering thing about this boxset is that array of head options available.
What force of troops from the last two centuries would you like to see in a sci-fi setting?
Fek… There actually is a box of ‘grognards’ !! Feeling I need to buy these for a 2nd ed 40k Army !!
Nice. Lots of options. A good chance to do an affordable Death Korps of Krieg. Death Corps of Guerre?
Todeskorps Von Krieg would probably work better for a Germanic troop. 😉
Ha. True. You’d be better telling that to Forge World though ?

I can see John adding them to his guard army. and at 25 Quid a box great value for a fabulous set of soldier’s.

Just when I thought I might be nearing the end of my Imperial Guard journey these guys come along. Oh well. Great video thanks @avernos. I really love what Wargames Atlantic are doing at the moment. I’m definitely breaking my no new minis this year vow to get the Irish and Afghans when they eventually emerge. Still, as it is Lent it is time to give up thise New Year resolutions.
oh well you won’t want to hear that they’re sending me the Afghans and Irish to unbox then?
That’s great news Gerry. Are we going to see them as a sneak preview or are you waiting until the release date to air the videos?
There’s always room for more options. Get more for your hobby dollar man, I dig it!
3 boxes of em arrived today, woop woop!
