Wargames Atlantic- Ooh Rah! Infantry of the Future!

[@Ignarres]

You were right. The head is from the Eisenkern Stormtroopers kit from Wargames Atlantic.

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

But where did it come from? That's the crazy part! I haven't acquired any of the WGA Eisenkern. It has to be from the original release, which is made all the more stranger as I don't think I ever had any of the basic guys- I know I had a box of the heavy Valkyr infantry or whatever they were called, which had different heads if I recall correctly.

[@popburnsy3207]

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature I thought one of the Valkir heads was similar to the standard stormtrooper style head of the regular troops. Maybe the one in the video is one of those?

[@erichearth5061]

Love the Starship Troopers and Aliens vibe. I need to get me a box.

[@RayLancer]

These look super fantastic for the price. I might get a box for use for Space Weirdos or another small ruleset.

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

Yeah, they'd be great for it!

[@alessiodecarolis]

Nice box, now all we need is a supplementary sprue with enclosed helmets ODST-style, and armoured arms for hostile environments. If, as it's probabile, these minis will sell well, I hope that WGA will make others boxes, such as command/support & females ones.👍

[@r3dgh0st38]

On the sprue, they look like more detailed versions of troops or mercs from the StarGrave series of minis

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

I spilled a bunch of bits from this kit with Stargrave parts, and you are absolutely correct in that they're a pain trying to discern which is which from a quick glance!

[@agraabui]

thanks a lot for all your videos on the death field miniature ! I've just found them when I was searching for imperial guard proxy or second-hand miniatures. They look cool ! I think i'm gonna take the cannon fodder male and female first for some Penal legion ^^ but thoses Oo Rah could be very cool for some Alien-each tabletop RPG too

[@rorythomas9469]

I think the stormtrooper looking head might be from the now out of production wargames factory shock troopers

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

It's possible. Or an Eisenkern head- neither of which I can recall owning in any capacity! Strange and mysterious!

[@maxxon99]

Realistic sized pistol for a change... these looks good.

[@Ducknuck84]

with all those pouches one would thing Rob Liefeld designed their armor 😆 another solid kit from WGA

[@patmann9363]

Nah they have feet!

[@Orionhunter4444]

they look like they can make good Elysian drop troops, with out the grave chuts

20+ years in this hobby with a long break in the middle, and I still hate super glue. Hate it with a passion. I would pay a service to glue all my toys together

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

I'm with you there. Sometimes you can see all the spots where I've glued my fingers together with super glue prior to a video. Personally, I LOVE the testors' tubes. Love the stuff. The smell, the feel, letting it ooze out... it's just not a model building experience without it. I can sit there all neat and dandy with my fancypants Tamiya brush on stuff, but gimme that good ol' 'murican style model glue any time!

[@thomaswilliams5005]

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature I’m partial to gorilla glue gel. Always looking for a new way to attach my toys together. I’ll look at testers stuff

[@caboose3191]

Have you looked into plastic cement? I have started using it and I will never go back

[@playwow2670]

Nice I haven't grabbed a box of these yet! I live being able to see the bits in your video first and plan out my kitbashes! Have fun and stay healthy!

[@dannielsen348]

The enclosed helmets reminded me of the soldiers from the Halo franchise

[@oliviairene4637]

I was thinking the COBRA Viper troopers

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

Well they remined me of the old Starcom toys for some bizarre reason, so all of us are all over the place!

[@philippelegault3928]

@@oliviairene4637 Exactly what I was thinking :) Especially when combined with the rolled-up sleeves arm bits.

[@johnwilson9108]

Helmet is an Eisenkern Valkir heavy trooper head.

[@Matt-md5yt]

glad you got this box set my friend. they are perfect for PDF and Guardsman

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

I was also thinking games like Flying Lead, Black Ops, things in that near future war vein.

[@Kartofite]

The head is from Iron-Core Eisenkern Stormtroopers

[@ThieuDUongWGA]

Nice review. I love WGA

[@intzbk1]

Where is the witch hunter @12:41 from? That's a nice model.

[@tiddles12]

Feel these will make great voidsmen at arms proxy's

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

Huh. Voidsmen? How would you paint them. I've got a few boring guys painted in typical fatigue drabs, but some garish space crew might be interesting...

[@swaaahtome]

Very good, straight into my basket!

[@noapteapestrada7139]

WA has the best deals for guardsmen in terms variety ,price and quality . Now if only they would make a highly customisable tank. chasis ........

[@SabreXT]

Yes. I saw a video that kitbashed a Leman Russ with a Churchill to make something for WGAs Bulldogs. It looked good. Hopefully with The Damned will be a start to see vehicles that are heroic scale and not GW.

[@amazingdoorbob5458]

Where's the fat goat man at 15:30 from?

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

RGD Gaming, who had their sprues produced by Wargames Atlantic coincidentally.

[@williamlydon2554]

That buff dude has a "Doom Guy" vibe.

[@inzyniertv9305]

I will use those for Guevesa models

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

With weapons as-is or swapped in with GW ones? It's always neat seeing people's allied human forces!

[@tonygreenfield7820]

If you are building from a complete box of figures how the hell do you swap out a head from the Eisenkern set particularly if you dont have any Eisenkern figures....😊

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

The magic of bits boxes too close to where you're filming, I suppose!

[@szpaQ83]

Raumjaegers?

[@holtwaring4620]

Waiting for my order to arrive.

[@nickdavis5420]

That’s from iron core it’s gotta be I’ve been looking at them from wargames Atlantic

[@foggygolem]

Those arms got No intention of staying flush with the body And holding their gun at the same time, very frustrating

[@samdunn5846]

So Many models are like this😭

[@catherder6552]

I don't like that the legs and torso are all one piece, And the legs look like they need to be a bit more beefy. They are nicely detailed and the heads and weapons are great.

[@samdunn5846]

How often does this company release new minis

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

Quite regularly. Sometimes things seem to get stuck in the pipeline and we seem to have a flood of new stuff all at once, but I'd say we see at least a new release every month. I don't even have time or money to cover them all- and that's before we get into all their new 3D printed offerings!

[@theofficerfactory2625]

That was an Eisenkern head. Lovely models; both the Eisenkerns and these marines. Gotta get a box, or 5. Wait, I thought you did get some Eisenkern a while ago? (KZbin search) Could it came from your brother Mr. Sparkle Trout?

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

If it's a Valkry, it could be mine, but I thought it would've been in an older more scifi oriented bits box, as the one I was pulling from was mostly fantasy bits. One of these days I'll grab a WGA set of them. Even more obscure is the 15mm version of their knight thingee I still have sitting in my garage!

Good videos just one small thing. Clean the models.

[@ObscuritiesinMiniature]

I know, I know! I was too excited to get them built. Often times I won't catch some of those spots that need filing/ clipping/ cleaning until I've got a camera on them as it is, so it's somewhat beneficial for me too!
