Pre-Order Wargames Atlantic’s New This Quar’s War Set!
February 5, 2024 by brennon
Wargames Atlantic are now taking pre-orders for their collaboration with Zombiesmith! This Quar's War: Clash Of Rhyfles is a new two-player boxed game based on the strange creations of Zombiesmith, now available in 28mm plastic and with all of the gubbins you need to start playing.
This Quar's War: Clash Of Rhyfles // Wargames Atlantic
Here's some of the background on the mysterious Quar and their odd conflict that seems to have been going on for many years...
"It seems the Quar have always been at war. When the first wandering clans of insect gatherers built their low, mud-walled buildings, it was as much to keep out other Quar as the wild animals. As they first learned to make tools to get food, they quickly learned to make tools to defend themselves. The mud walls quickly became fortified citadels, and then city-states. In five thousand years of civilization, the only constants of their culture have been the changing of the seasons and the threat of war."
This boxed set then starts to explore the Long War that has been going on since the Quar worked out how to beat up their rivals. The set itself comes with twenty-four new hard-plastic Quar (twelve as Crusaders and twelve as Croftyrans) alongside appropriate bases.

The miniatures are looking great. The unique look of the original metal Quar has been retained and then reinvented in plastic. The various modular parts on the sprues allow you to make some valiant soldiers for both sides. I you know the quality of Wargames Atlantic plastic then you'll be familiar with what you're getting here. Plenty of well-detailed miniatures with good options for weapons.

As well as the miniatures, the box set comes with the forty-eight-page Rulebook, Dice, Activation Cards and some cut-out terrain that can help you build your new battlefields to life. A nice way to enhance your coffee table!

Missed opportunity with the name. The Last Quar? The Great Quar? The Quar to end all Quars?
Nice minis though. Adorable is a very underrepresented quality in our hobby.
I want the minis, but probably not a new game so as the rulebook seems to be just that i’ll be waiting for the minis to get a separate release (if the book had been a chunky rules and background combo i’d have been a lot more tempted to get the box set)
Not sure what the “new” rules in this box set are like compared to the old ones (or even if they are the same). But there’s a LOAD of rulebooks (and even some free PDF offerings) including the rules, factions/army lists etc, and even lore over on the Zombie Smith website.

I must admit, I’m more of a fan of their 15mm Quar (in metal), but alas the shipping (and import duties) to ship here to the UK makes them rather expensive. At least with these 28mm plastics from Wargames Atlantic you don’t need to worry about that particular issue 🙂
From what I understand it will have rules for just the two factions. According to Joshua Qualtieri there will be an expanded version in the future. From the Quar discussion group on Facebook, JQ said…. “This Quar’s War version 1, the book from 2009, is mass-battle. Which is 100% compatible with these new models and a ruleset I am going to suggest for folks to try if they want bigger fights with more models. I’ll be uploading a modified pdf of it soon. The rules in this box are quickstart skirmish rules for 6-12 models per side and will be… Read more »
