They don’t look bad at all.
I just wish this company had followed the Perry / Victrix model of including a dozen or more bodies in each kit, rather than the cut price model of many other plastics manufacturers, of including just five or six bodies.

Hi there. Wargames atlantic community outreach here:

There are 30 bodies in the set. Or did you mean poses?

I'm going to assume you mean different body poses. There are six different poses in the set with 30 bodies total using five frames

So does anyone have the actual product in hand yet? Just wondering how they will (or won't) fit in with existing WW1 ranges from the Perry's (old Foundry), Great War Minis, etc. Would love to see some pics.

And Richard (aka the good 'Captain Blood') is spot on, as the 5/6 basic figs production model never gives you much variety. This is Warlord's model and it just doesn't work, at least for me. However, horses for courses.

Hoping to see some pics!

I see. I apologise for the confusion.

@arkoudaki, I have the figures in hand, but I don't own any of the other lines you mentioned. Is there something else I could give you a scale photo with?

How about some other Foundry type figs. :) And also one against a ruler would be useful too. ;)

Writing the review will take a bit longer but see enclosed scale comparison pictures with Wargames Foundry, Copplestone Castings and Brigade Games. The Wargames Atlantic miniatures are suitable to be used alongside Copplestone Castings and Brigade Games but the Wargames Foundry miniatures are really small compared with the above mentionned companies. See pictures below.

I wonder how they size up with the Tsuba/ Empress Freikorps.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I have ordered a box for that very reason Carlos, so when they arrive I will post a comparison pic for you.

Many thanks for the photos, as those help a lot. In short, the Wargames Atlantic WW1 Germans look good...expect for those really 'wrong' looking arms. That just throws the entire figure off. :(

May I ask what's wrong about the arms?

The old Wargames Foundry WW 1 figures are small as compared to almost all "modern" figures (sorry for the pun).  Based on the size comparison with Brigade, I imagine the Atlantic figures would fit in with the Brigade Games figures.
