New Fantasy Sets by Wargames Atlantic

[Dice Roller]

In fairness to WA, they do describe them as 'fantasy townsfolk' and not 'medieval townsfolk'.
If you're wanting to use them as medievals then you pays your money and you takes your chances.

[Hobgoblin]

Yeah, they look good - and the anachronistic mix is very 'generic fantasy'.

It goes back to Tolkien at least (certainly Howard and probably Dunsany before that): in Middle-earth, you have pocket-watches, eighteenth-century-style inns (Bree does not read as medieval!) and Edwardian squires alongside warriors straight from the Bayeux Tapestry. In the Hyborian age, you have Renaissance-style arms and armour alongside ancient and early-medieval stuff. And so on.

So these look absolutely perfect for generic fantasy.

[Daeothar]

Both sets look eminently useful and the figures are looking really nice too. The guards would be perfect henchmen for dungeon crawls, and the villagers can, well, village.

Hopefully they're largely interchangeable with Frostgrave, Oathmark and Fireforge kits, because thay would make possibilties truly endless

[McYellowbelly]

Loving all the spares/bits on the villagers sprues.
Thinking the guard would make good militia for empire city states

[KGatch113]

Yeah, the Baron's War line is Foot Knights, Foot Serjeants, and armed Peasants.  Nice kits.

Similarly Victrix is putting out some absolutely gorgeous Crusader-era kits.

It is a shame none of them scale well with other ranges. if you take the Fireforge/Oathmark/Gripping Beast/ Older plastcs from WGF as the standard, Victrix guys are a bit bigger and Baron's War are a bit smaller. Noticeably different enough to make me take a pass on them.

The recent Zombie kit WGA did really makes me sad. They are a midge smaller than other kits. They made a variety of helmets and heads, and I tried them on WGA late Romans and they are tiny!

[Melnibonean]

Both of these sets are really great and so useful. They would have been a great asset back in my D&D playing days. I'll still probably get them just to make and paint and I'm sure I'll find a use for them. Great work WA.
