Plastic Persians - Wargames Atlantic

[jetengine]

The Wargames Atlantic skeletons are clearly sturdier then the WGF ones.

Thanks for the information Dr Mathias!

Given his appalling reputation across the wargaming world, they might be wise to bung a sticker on each box that reads ‘Contains No Tony Reidy’.

That would be immensely helpful

There are several heads that would be perfect early Persians, but all the bodies are in "Median" attire. Maybe there is a second, unrevealed sprue in the works.(?)

Didn’t the majority of Achaemenid armies wear a version of Median attire on campaign  regardless of their racial origins?

[Cyrus the Great]

They eventually adopted Median dress while on campaign, but with a couple of bodies in Persian attire, they can  extend its usefulness. I know, I want it all.

No Tony Reidy sounds like a sex act...

Care to add an entry to the Urban Dictionary? 

I had no idea of this successor company's existence.... 

Those Persians are renders or pics of the final product? If the latter, they look decent, much better than Wargames Factory's output.

”No Tony Reidy sounds like a sex act...”

In reality more of a dog and pony show. If he was a sex act, it would have to be one of the kind allegedly staged in Tijuana and popular with holidaying American tourists.

Lovely figures but, they look nothing like that historical film 300…

Don't worry - their next set is halflings.

I think in regards to Persian and Median dress = Remember, that there were various satraps, and I am sure not all persians went to war looking the same. I love the head variations in this set and it seems the shield options will allow for a plethora of troops. I just hope there are enough heads to either do, say, an all median or persian looking force, and maybe something from Babylon,or other areas of the empire at the time.

[Cyrus the Great]

Don't get me wrong. I really like this release and there's a perfectly good Persian army in this box. Another body sprue  with some Persian attire and other body types could extend its usefulness.

Is Wargames Atlantic related to the old Tony Reidy company Wargames Factory that went bankrupt anout 6 years ago.

There are remarkable similarities in the subject and packaging design.

That's how I felt aswell when first noticing their skellies. Same kinda troops, same box style. Ditto for their Sci-Fi squad, the style of their boxes, lettering etc. that might not have been the wisest business decision from this guy, tbh  .
Ah wel, might pick up a box of skellies one day, because, well, skellies...

Not sure if its ok to revive old posts...apologies if not...but is there any news/progress on these ?....plastic Persians would be perfect for what started as my “twenty figures a side will be perfect” Mortal Gods project that is now...err...growing in scope.....considering their excellent range am kind of surprised that Victrix aren’t there already
