Wargames Atlantic Great War German Infantry - Intial Review

Wargames Atlantic Great War German Infantry – Intial Review

Picked up a box of these from ebay the other day. There are 5 identical sprues with 6 figures (bodies) and various arm and head combinations. Below is a shot of figures built from one of the sprues. I tried to vary the headgear and weapons as much as possible to show the options. The uniform details make them out to be mid to late war (1916-1918) with jackets without buttons and piping. Also, the lower legs are sculpted wearing puttees, but they could probably be painted as boots as well. The pickelhaube was likely not seen after 1916, but had to use the one with the guy smoking a pipe – possibly an old reservist who wears his original helmet for good luck.

Here is one of the sprues – again there are 5 of these and are identical. There aren’t any „instructions“ for putting them together, but some of the arm combinations do have numbers for reference, e.g. „B1“ and „B2“ would go together. Besides various weapons and separate mask containers on straps, there are enough of each type of headgear for the entire set of 30 figures; that is: stahlhelm, stahlhelm with gas mask, pickelhaube and feldmutze (soft cap). I must mention the straps for the masks and binoculars are a bit thick, and I may try to shave them down thinner with a hobby knife. 

A comparison shot with Warlord Games plastics. They look very similar in size and style, IMO.

All in all, a nice set and I’m looking forward to Wargames Atlantic’s future release of their French set. Thanks for stopping by and hope this „review“ may have been of some interest. Best to you all.
