Something for Quar fans

Woot Woot!

I look forward to seeing how this line expands.

Actually working on what's next right now!

Also for those keeping track - the game will be out very soon and the Russians are all in the US warehouse and en route to the UK and Australian ones now.

Afghan Cavalry and the new textured bases are getting boxed up.

BEF box is about to go to print.

For UK based buyers, there has been a surge in the stls now available to buy as printed models.

Only Games has 154 sets available and the pictures are now branded as 'Atlantic Printed' rather than 'Atlantic Digital'.

https://only-games.co/collections/wargames-atlantic?sort_by=created-descending&page=1

Seeing as a fair few of the sets are, for example, Ottaman Heavy Infantry with puddle bases and Ottaman Heavy Infantry standard, the team at Only Games may soon get an indication as to whether puddle or non-puddle is the favourite.

Is there any more Iron Core / Eisenkern stuff under the WGA banner on the horizon? I'm sure I heard that the Valkir were happening and I need some helmets from that kit to finish a project of mine

I ordered the Gladiators from Only Games, and will post pictures when I get them.

Latest SP

The pan is nice

What isn't nice is that this image tells us that Sneakfeet and Werevolves are each half sized sprues.

These look good. Hopefully its one of their "put right in to production" sets and not a "wait for the vote thing" sets.

I would have rather had goats but the pony looks good.

Rooster assault force could be great or at least a general/hero.

Is that halfling cav? Yea would have preferred a more outlandish mount, but at least mantic makes them on dogs!

Old Westphalia goat Knights are my favorite halfling cavalry... for Halflings that look like a real fighting force and not just lumpy joke fighters. Not that that is bad... but I liked the seriousness of them. Now a rooster cav would be cool too. Especially if they are terror chickens...

I was building a halfling force with WA halflings and was excited for Mantics... but they dont match up scale wise together. Not that Mantic's scale was bad, just i preferred the look of WA so couldnt get the Mantic ones to fit.

If you do metal TAG have plenty of Halflings on Roosters (and other mounts) https://theassaultgroup.co.uk/product/halfling-light-cavalry-with-spears-on-ponies-i/

but some plastic from WGA will be cool too

Yeah, I like these. That helm is very fitting too.

Huh, hard to say from renders, but they look closer in proportion to Mantic halflings than to Atlantic halflings on foot...?

I like that there is a kettle hat with brim and bevor. Sculptors usually create nothing but great helms, or early medieval pot helms. Unfortunately, I've no need of Halfling cavalry.

THERE IS ALWAYS A NEED FOR HALFLING CAVALRY! you just haven't found it yet,

I wonder if the Brit who was demanding WGA immediately make plastic Halfling cav will return. /s

I just went from "Huh, haflling cavalry looks pretty cool" to "Shut up and take my money!" with that single image.

From the digital Tribe

In addition to this, there are 3 sets from February currently recieving final checks and supported files:

Classic Fantasy - Halfling Cavalry - A limited release, and not representative of what could and may come from a full plastic set.

No pics yet

My Quar starter set arrived… I am very pleased. Excellent quality. It has been a long wait but worth it. Thank you WGA.

Would be nice if it were somewherein between, WGA are actual-halfling size so feel a bit puny, and Mantics are basically dwarves (or even taller)

Anything besides compatability with their own Halfling infantry would seem strange to me; it's not like there is a highly popular alternative range they try to fit with, and given the infantry sprue's limitations, having some interchangeable bits for kitbashing would be beneficial for both sets.

Should have checked here sooner; ordered the not-particularly-cheap GW LotR Hobbits on ponies just yesteday for use in my WGA Halfling army (planned to be converted with the fairly slight Perry Medieval bits), but at least I'll hold off on buying more of those while awaiting a release of these little fellas.

Going to disagree only to say that Mantic's size for halflings is definitely bad. Completely incompatible with any other range for the simple reason that they are far too big. They really are just chubby slightly-shorter-than-normal humans.

I was mildly disappointed that the WGA Halflings are roughly in scale with GW LOTR and little else, but that is probably a wise choice. For some size comparisons to WGA halflings this might be useful.

I dont own any of the Mantic Halflings so didnt want to say anything negative without having seen them in person. But from stuff I have seen on the internet I agree that they are not for me. I do like the look of the dog cavalry but the size issue is too much to ignore for me.

I happen to really enjoy the scale of WGA's halflings and look forward to see what else they will release for them:



For my needs, the size is perfect, since I have mix of 25mm, 28mm, and 30mm. I have a hard enough time working with GW dwarfs that are the size of some of my human models.

I agree. They match up with Reaper, Midlam and the few old Westphalia ones I have. I actually dont like them with the lotr ones as the Lotr ones have tiny heads. The WA haflings are perfect size for my stuff. I actually just assembled 8 halflings today... found a spare sprue and some bits and was in a halfling mood.

So, the Halfling cav still has a way to go though... :(

A comparison of WA and Mantic hobbitses

@Rusty Number. What is that 4th figure in the row? Is that a mantic one?
