British Infantry (1916-1918)

First off the kit looks great and some of the built models I’ve seen look fantastic, having built many figures from various other brands over the year and when these went out for pre order I had to get some as I had heard good things on wargames Atlantic. However this kit isn’t the easiest even with around 20 years worth of experience. Hard to work out what goes with what, a lot of the pieces are hard to remove from the spru without breaking then when you do get them off hard to know what goes with what. Hoping the other boxes aren’t like this as this had put me right off.

Overall, I found this kit quite frustrating. There are some great models in here but the lack of assembly instructions for the weapon arms in particular is infuriating. For example, you'll have a left arm and gun labeled "2A" and "2B" but there is no matching right arm. You have to guess between the available right arms that aren't labeled and many of them just don't work. Still, I think this kit makes useful bits for other models but you'll struggle to use all the pieces...some don't seem to fit anywhere.

Got a box of these bad boys as a gift and I couldn't be more impressed. When I assembled a few of them, I noticed that these are very close to (if not actually being) true scale 1:56 which is awesome. The amount of parts makes this great for kitbashing as well. With said parts I was able to kitbash this kit with the WWI French Infantry kit to make some really good looking steampunk soldiers. All in all, an excellent kit.

These figures are brilliant. A perfect way to build a late war British army force. The bits fit really well together and are well moulded and give huge variation. BUT the gasmasks and gasmask bags are terrible and completely wrong. The bag should be high on the chest, the connecting pipe short. Nothing a sharp knife and a bit of green stuff cant solve, but not an easy job. Why the sculptor could not get this detail right is beyond me.

possibly my favorite Wargames Atlantic set so far, a lot of good options for great war infantry, I am using these for A war transformed and they are great for kit bashing, the gas masks are as creepy as they should be there is a lot less fitting problems than i found in the German great war and bull dogs set, the only real issue faced was how thin the straps on the bag that goes around the neck are a coupe broke when clipping off the sprue but easily fixed
