Let’s Look at Wargames Atlantic Afghan Warriors | Plastic Miniature Review

[@lynnhavard3684]

How do they compare to The Barons’ War minis form WA scale wise?

[@Dan-ds8sf]

They’re almost identical.

[@lynnhavard3684]

@@Dan-ds8sf that’s awesome. May have to get a sprue or two for my Outremer stuff.

[@Dan-ds8sf]

@@lynnhavard3684 Yeah the sword/shield arms on the bodies straight off of the sprue would fit in great, as any anachronisms would only be obvious to actual historians. I think some of those turbaned heads on the WGA Foot Knight bodies would look especially cool.

[@markolukic7824]

Scalewise how compatible would those Afghan weapons and heads be with the GW's IG Troopers or GC Neophytes?

[@Dan-ds8sf]

They’d be small, I think they’d look fine alongside models like Cadian Shock troops but the bits won’t be interchangeable.

[@paulwalker5221]

Wargames Atlantic are 28mm and smaller than most GW minis. They go well with Fireforge, Oathmark, Frostgrave, Perry minis, and even Victrix at a convicted pinch. The new Afghan Cavalry from Wargames Atlant8c are nice minis.

Nice review. These work well with the Afghan cavalry by Wargames Atlantic. I mix and march the Perry parts with these models. Looking for some modern weapons to arm them for modern skirmishes.

[@Dan-ds8sf]

Cool idea, and depending on how modern you want to go I think there are lots of weapon options available. Warlord has a sprue of Soviet weapons that would look cool kitbashed with the unit for a host of mid 20th century conflicts. They also have a lot of modern weapons in their Project Z kits, though I haven’t seen any with weapons separated from the body sprues so you can’t get the weapons on their own.

An excellent review

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

Warning to people. These are quite skinny, even for true scale minis, the heads can be interchangeable with other models but the arms and bodies are quite small

[@Dan-ds8sf]

They’re definitely small compared to Games Workshop models, but I didn’t find them small compared to other historicals. The models at the end are a blend of bodies and bits from this kit, Perry Miniatures, Gripping Beast, and Victrix, and I didn’t notice any glaring scale issues between them.
