Title: Wargames Atlantic: Plastic Goblin Warband Reviewed!
Post by: Belgian on 11 November 2022, 07:01:03 PM

Today we will take a closer look at the Wargames Atlantic Goblin Warband! These 28mm hard-plastic multi-part goblin warriors are already the fifth set of their Classic Fantasy miniature range. These useful ferocious warriors are very common in multiple popular fantasy settings and can be combined with the already released Giant Spiders to create some savage cavalry! About their Classic Fantasy range: As a company of mostly "Old School" wargamers, many of our first loves was Classic Fantasy. Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Goblins, Trolls, Necromancers, Hobgoblins, Dragons are all part of our fondest hobby memories. This ever-growing range is our tribute to these iconic tropes. Check the full review and scale comparisons below

Thanks for the review, a useful looking kit.

With the spider rider - was this just a loose fit, or do you think you need to build the spider with the expectation of adding the rider?

Thanks, I would certainly recommend assembling the spider taking into account the pose and saddle. In the picture I have posted I had already assembled the spider from a previous review so not ideal to fit the saddle and create a more interesting pose. So would recommend assembling the spider with the expectation of adding a rider to avoid issues later on.

They do look good. Do you think that the Warlord/wargames factory Orc's work with them? I am guessing the orcs are bigger, but stylistically they look like they might mesh well.

Think they would work well, I have included a scale comparison in the review showing a Warlord Games Orc.

The style is very similar although the Warlord Games Orcs have heads with added necks and the Wargames Atlantic bodies have necks too.

But should be quite easy to chop off part of the Warlord Games Orc head to get a good fit.

The detail on the goblins is also way better than on the older Warlord Games/ Wargames Factory Orcs (I have the Wargames Factory ones)
