Wargames Atlantic 28mm Gangs/Citizens of Rome
« on: 01 June 2024, 11:04:06 PM »


I just got this incredibly versatile set from Michigan Toy Soldier, great for Gangs of Rome but also a superb set for conversion work! Full photo review here https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2024/06/wargames-atlantic-28mm-citizensgangs-of.html

Those do look handy!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Having looked at them in hand a few weeks ago they genuinely look like they're going to be an incredibly useful sprue beyond their billing for GoR.

While I marvel at the range of options, as one with regular bouts of gout affecting their fingers I do kind of wish they were less fiddly to build.
My ability to glue my fingers together or my hand to the table doesn't help, of course!  ::) :)

Greetings, Anton! Long time admirer on TMP.

You do have love amphora weaponized.

While I marvel at the range of options, as one with regular bouts of gout affecting their fingers I do kind of wish they were less fiddly to build.
My ability to glue my fingers together or my hand to the table doesn't help, of course! 

At least you do attack them. I've boxes of lizardmen (equip-able with sword and spear, black powder, or auto weapons) and giant spiders (saddles as fantasy mounts or pulp sci-fi rayguns), serious range of options, and still sitting in the boxes.

Box art suggests a female figure but I couldn't see any on the sprue save for what might be a female lower body.

Hopefully a follow up set will include females. The box art also includes 'vigiles' which are only available in metal from Footsore and no guy with a hood which is a pity.

As I understand sales will have a significant effect on the ability to make more box sets. Let's get this game roaring!

There was to be a box of females in the kickstarter stretch goals but the required total was not reached.

I’ve got 3 boxes, plus two boxes of Warlords Caesarian Romans.
I’m going to attempt a slave revolt army.
