- Time to check out yet another fun little Wargames Atlantic kit.
The Cannon Fodder are part of WGA's "Death Fields" line of scifi fighters slugging it out for the spectacle of a bunch of alien overlords, and as such are a hodgepodge of conventional scifi ideas brought forth in plastic.
These are just poor sods in jumpsuits stuck in a situation they didn't ask to be in, and as such are trying to make the best of it. They're very minimally equipped and it shows.
But that's half the fun of these guys! With the included heads you can have them be used in all sorts of gaming rolls! When you start mixing in your own bits even more so with these guys!
Best part is they've proved to be popular enough to already have a female version announced for future release as well!

These"generic" boxes are really a game changer in our hobby, with plastic's flexibility you can do pratically anything. Luckyly these figures seems compatible with Stargrave's ones, allowing infinite customizations, also with GS' help!
I've retired all of my GW guard plans and replaced them with my own interpretation of guardsmen which consist entirely of WA units from many boxes. At first I created my own army/ranks based on the different kits they have (so for example an Eisenhorn platoon I'd treat like a tank platoon of 4-5 troops, while a cannon fodder platoon is one box of them) and just started getting creative with the storytelling. In the process I discovered a lot of great tabletop games as alternatives to "the big boys" and now I'm assembling my own rag-tag crew and slowly making up my own worlds, rules and ideas for the troops I have. Very inspiring kits! Amazing quality from a great company.
We love the size comparisons
Laser Cannon Shootin' Centaurs was the name of my high school garage band.
I’m going to put Stargrave Chimp heads on these cannon fodder guys!
This particular boxed set has really grabbed a lot of people's imagination. I guess the generic nature of the models cries out for customization.
The customisability is really cool! And it's great that there are femme body options coming also. I recently got a bunch of cyberpunk bits from Anvil Industry and a starter box of Necromunda Eschers and I'm looking forward into making something unique with the squad.
I bought a couple of sprues of these to use as penal troops. The heads with shock collars didn't fit well until I carved away the collar of the jumpsuit, otherwise the heads sat way too high. Don't think it would be an issue with the other heads. A couple of the arms didn't fit smoothly either. I don't think they're quite as nice as some other Wargames Atlantic figures, but they're a hugely versatile and budget-friendly option for anything where you need loads of grunts.
I just ordered a box of those Friday to use for conscripts 😻
Seriously, thanks for the size comparisons with the traitor guard - I was looking for some ranged cultists to pad out some squads since the new cultist mob box was really lacking IMO. Looks like these dudes are just what I need
I can’t wait to get my hands on these guys. I have so many crazy kitbash plans. And I’m hoping to use the masked heads on the Eisenkern to tone down their space reich vibe.
I bricked myself as a kid seeing the original V
Great job doing an overview, definitely sold me on them. Looking to get stuff for my kids to paint and I think these would be great starters for them.
Once the female kit comes out I'm gonna really tempted to buy both kits and start a Penal Legion Imperial Guard Army. Just a wave of orange coming up the field at you!
Thanks, this video was very useful.
the makers cult have ''techno-raptors'' ie their range of dark-mech tyranids
Yup, this is easily my most wanted kit. great video, as always!
Those lasguns with bayonets are so very cadian/guard these are crying out to be cheap 40k imperial guardsmen 👍
I bought just one of the weapon sprues and a sprue of the British Riflemen as an experiment, and now I've got myself a custom Guard regiment. Wargames Atlantic clearly knows their demographic: kitbashers.
Thanks wargames atlantic for these minis so I could make a slav squating genestealer to steal Guilliman's mercedes. They should be called kitbash fodder because they are great for that.
