Ages ago I gave up painting minis below 15mm, the metal models were expensive, fragile and poorly detailed. Recently Wargames Atlantic (and Warlord, to be fair) have brought the magic of high-tech injection molding to the world of tiny wargames minis. The results are quite impressive. I had to use a magnifier to fully appreciate the detail on these tiny figures, they are as good as minis several times their size. They are cleanly cast in a firm gray plastic that reflects the finest of detail without a trace of flash and only the faintest hint of mold-lines.
The set come complete with bases and has a vast horde of variously-armed skeletal warriors including command, musicians (I was going to ask how a skeleton uses a trumpet, but we have accepted that skeletons can walk and fight so I will just be quiet), casualties (the re-dead un-dead?) and a smattering of highly detailed tiny skulls.
the back of the box gives you a feel for just how many of those tiny guys there are!
the box with contents
bases are always a nice addition
the detail is fantastic
this is an army that you could paint in an afternoon,
spray a medium brown and dry-brush in a pale tan/white
then pick out the weapons in iron and rust!
I love that the tiny skulls have teeth in them!
the command figures are very well done
I am very impressed by the quality and detail of these tiny little figures. I do hope that Wargames Atlantic persists with this range as it will make big epic-scale fantasy battles affordable to the average gamer (just check what 117 skeletons from Games Workshop would set you back!).
Very highly Recommended
