Title: Wargames Atlantic or Victrix foot knights
Post by: TheMarquis on July 05, 2025, 02:51:28 PM

Hello all, does anyone have any direct comparison photos of Wargames Atlantic plastic foot knights next to Victrix's new plastic footknights?

I'm torn between the two as I like the WA Barons War range but I'm worried the plastic foot knights are a bit small and plain. On the other hand, I like the detail on the Victrix plastics but am worried they're too big and chunky!

Thanks!

 plain means a nice clean figure to paint in the heraldic details which is the primary appeal of the period.  I wouldn’t sweat it and buy both!  You can never have too many figs!

I don’t think the Victrix foot knights are out yet - they’re on pre-order. But as I’ve said on another thread, I do have the Victrix mounted knights and the WGA foot knights, and for me, the character, detail, quality of relief and moulding, and the sheer number of parts included and flexibility of what you can create from them, really makes the Victrix product the better set. I really like the mounted figures you can create, and I’m fairly confident that the foot knights will be the same only more so. The WGA set, conversely, was just a bit ‘meh’ by comparison. But I’ve no doubt there will be plenty of other people who see it the other way round. Everyone likes different styles when it comes to these things :)
