If You’re Missing Dwarfs in Your Sci-Fi Games Wargames Atlantic Has Your Fighters
In this post, we take a look at some brand new Space Dwarfs by Wargames Atlantic. If you are looking for quality proxy miniatures, this is the new company to check out.
Wargames Atlantic is a relatively new miniatures company and you may remember last week when we looked at their 28mm Spiders. The miniatures that we are looking at today would likely fit in well as proxy models for Imperial Guards or Squats. Of course, they could be used for any number of other miniatures games that allow models in by other manufacturers.
As a note, all of the images in this post come from Wargames Atlantic.
Wargames Atlantic
If you have not come across Wargames Atlantic, let me tell you a bit about them. I first noticed them just over a year ago. At that time, they sold their Skeleton Warriors and Raumjäger Infantry kits. Not a lot of options, and some interesting choices of starting kits being of one faction for two different genres. That said, the models looked nice and I was always interested in their Raumjäger Infantry. I figured they would make good models as proxies for the Imperial Guard or as standard models for generic miniatures agnostic Sci-Fi games.
To me, Wargames Atlantic is the new “value” company to the scene. They sell those 24 multi-part hard plastic 28mm miniatures for just $34.95 USD per box. Compare that to a box of Imperial Guard Infantry or WW2 German Soldiers from another company, and you have a great deal here in terms of miniatures per dollar.
If you buy some of the fantasy or historical miniatures sets, then that value per figure goes up. Some of these boxes come with 40 miniatures (all 28mm) for just $34.95. Buy in bulk, and the figures are even less.
Today’s post looks at a new miniature set that Wargames Atlantic just put up for pre-orders.
Without further ado, meet the Einherjar – but I am going to call them by a different name. Meet the Space Dwarfs.
The Einherjar – Wargame Atlantic’s Space Dwarfs
The Einherjar are Wargame Atlantic’s Space Dwarfs. Again, Wargames Atlantic scaled these miniatures to fit in with 28mm figures. The company published a few preview images of them over the past few weeks. I gathered some of those images so far to this one place to share with you.
Now, how do these miniatures scale to other figures?
Scale Comparisons
So far, we do not have any direct scale comparison pictures. That said, we do have an image of an Einherjar infantry model beside Wargames Atlantic’s other 28mm Death Fields factions. We also have a picture of those other factions versus other manufacturers. Between the two images, you can get an idea of the size of these models.
Using the two pictures above, you should be able to come to your own size estimation of how these Space Dwarfs will line up against your other 28mm to 32mm miniatures.
Wrapping it up…
Thank you for coming with me on this journey in discovering Wargames Atlantic. Their teaser images of late have me pretty excited to see what they release in the future. I think that this might be the new company to watch for high-quality affordable miniatures for use across multiple gaming systems.
I find the look of the Einherjar appealing. From what I read, these miniatures should come out in August or September. In fact, they are up for pre-order now. For more pictures (including a shot of the sprues) you can look around the Wargames Atlantic site or come over to Must Contain Minis for the extended story that this article comes from.
Finally, while going through the pictures on Wargames Atlantic, I noticed that a number of the painted miniatures and photos were by Matthew Leahy of Dr. Mathia’s Miniature Extravaganza. I figured I should give him a shout out for taking the excellent pictures and painting up the minis so nicely.
