Wargames Atlantic Partisans kitbashing project

[anton ryzbak]

I have to admit that I very much dislike it when my irregular forces look like Frederick The Gtreat's Grenadiers because the minis are all posed alike. To ensure this didn't happen I kitbashed the Wargames Atlantic French Resistance with the spare parts from the 02 Hundred Hours and WW1 Germans sets. It took a little work but no two of them are the same

Very nice.  I will likely do something similar when I build my 2nd box as actual WW2 partisans. 

My 1st box's guys ended up with M16s and AKs...

Great work, lots of character! 👍

I’ll join it with the praise. Nice minis you created!

A great set of figures - lots of variation in them - and lots of automatic weapons, some very well armed partisans!

I also spent some time reading about Fort Matanzas after seeing its photo many times as the header on your blog and also Fort Pulaski - great photos of both.

Great kit bashing.
WA Resistant are a little bit smaller.
I use some of Pz Lehr bits for the same purpose too.

Fred, Yeah in looking at them again they are VERY well armed. If the real Resistance was that well off D-Day might not have been necessary!

I will have to buy another box and arm them with knives, clubs and Molotovs. I have also been thinking that they would make good minis for the Easter Rebellion ( especially with a few Mausers from the Perry's Franco-Prussian war set) Or as Spatacists and company for Berlin 1919-20

They could also be used in 1920s/1930s US gangster games....

Mine too.

@CapnJim: I think the main strong point of this set is the versatility. And honestly, we need to mix and match with them, because the choice of arms isn't that great, and I can't put up with every one in 6 or 3 so throwing a grenade.

@Battle Brush Sigur:  Yeah, I saw your modern conversions on WA's forum after I started mine...well done!

And they are versatile indeed!  Anton's figures are more proof of that!
