Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder kit make perfect Imperial Guard miniatures alternatives, check out the possibilities in our unboxing!
This week we are cracking open the Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder set and seeing how they look, plus getting some ideas for what all they can be used for. Penal legions are so hot right now, and with this set, you can make an affordable army with these great minis!
These are just some of all the awesome minis they have, you can check out what else they have been releasing here! They even sent Rob some fantasy kits (Lizardmen and Goblins), that can be converted for 40k or come with sci-fi weapons. We’ll take a quick look at those but focus on the sci-fi stuff.
Rob is going to show you everything that the models come with, how long they take to build, and how easy the conversions are. That way you can decide if these boxes are worth your hard-earned hobby dollars.
Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder: Unboxing & Build
Taking a look at Wargames Atlantic’s site, they have all kinds of cool sci-fi minis, but tons of historical stuff as well. They also distribute to tons of stores throughout the world, so if you want to support your local store as well as them, you may also be able to pick these up from yours as well.
You can find all of the stores that carry WGA on their easy-to-use store finder.
They are in the works of adding onto their own Death Fields game, so you may also be able to use these for that soon as well! Plus, they also have an insane amount of fantasy models, that can also be used in the Grimdark with just a little bit of conversion work. some of their sets even come with sci-fi weapons (like these lizards) so no conversions are necessary to get a ton of crazy armies.
Either way, you get 30 models for $35, so really hard to beat that!
Lizardmen Sprues
You get a ton of sprues in this box, with all kinds of cool weapons, heads, gas masks, and just tons of bits! These could make for so many cool alternatives and for the price, these are hard to beat as well.
Goblin Sprues
The Goblin Warband comes with both riders and ground troops. Of course, with any Wargames Atlantic set, you get a ton of minis! These could be perfect for an obvious AoS army, and if you want a lot of minis for cheap, this is the way to go! You can get archers, riders, and spearmen, just a great value for your money no matter what way you decide to go.
Cannon Fodder Sprues
For the price, it’s almost impossible to find 30 models now for the same quality! They have a ton of bits, weapon options, and basically anything you could want.
The detail is really great on these and depending on the bits you use, they can really have a different feel. So if you want more of a penal legion or just a ramshackle horde, these are perfect!
Assembled Minis
I know we said it already but for the price, the detail and look of these are basically impossible to beat!
They have plenty of weapon options, so if you want a ton of options and minis, this is the set for you.
You can see if you change the heads and body type, they just look so different!
Size Comparison
They line up pretty perfectly with a Guardsman.
