These new Ogre The Vain sci-fi miniatures from Wargames Atlantic are looking amazing- check out the preview!
Wargames Atlantic is always coming out with incredible new models, and their kits are always affordable and full of detail. These new sets look to be no different, and just the previews are getting us excited as they would make for the perfect Imperial Guard or Ogor Mawtribes alternatives.
The minis in the new kits are already looking great, and if they’re anything like their other kits, we know that means tons of bits and minis for very affordable prices! Plus, they say they will come with the below weapons, so you can easily pop them right into an IG army.
With how the sprues work, you could easily pop on some different guns (or just keep the current one) and have a seriously cool-looking army, or go with the current look for Ogors. Let’s get into it!
Wargames Atlantic New Ogre “The Vain” Sci-Fi Minis Preview
A group of abducted Landsknecht – The Vain – who after some time on the circuit succumbed to flattery and allowed themselves to be genetically modified to be bigger and stronger. Their alien owner of course didn’t explain that they would also become grotesque. They now operate as guns for hire and are lent out to the highest bidders as a supplement to regular teams on the Death Fields circuit.
All these parts are on the Landsknecht Ogres kit because it’s a double-duty Classic Fantasy and Death Fields set like the Lizardmen.
Now, let’s check out how the fantasy side of the kit is looking!
Landsknecht Ogre Preview From Wargames Atlantic!
These would make for such a fun custom augment for any Imperial Guard army or some mercenaries for Ogors! Plus, these are just really cool minis and could also make for some really affordable alternatives for all kinds of games.
Here’s what they have to say about the kit:
Final tooling is underway for the contest-winning Landsknecht Ogres! To give you a taste of what’s on the way here is Andreas Heneborn’s work on the fantasy versions (Matthew Leahy is doing the Death Fields versions).
We wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that charge!
Tooling is almost finished for these, and here are the layouts for the two full sprues that make up this set:
As you can see there are lots of bits and bobs to customize them and a full set of parts to create The Vain – the Death Fields mercenary group made up of former Landsknecht soldiers who underwent genetic modifications to be bigger and stronger (without, of course, being told they would also become hideously disfigured!)
As tooling wraps up we will be having the boxes designed for this set and it should all be coming together for release in the not-too-distant future!
