For this month’s Vietnam War theme we intentionally sidestep a history lesson on the conflict and instead focus on several different hobby projects and wargaming ideas. From the skies above, to below ground, our five theme articles take in transport vehicles, Saigon ’68, Tunnel Rats, collecting ’Nam models, and the disaster that was the Battle of A ..read more

Having trouble viewing the flipbook collection? View and download it instead! The amount of hobby content that’s been published in the pages of Wargames Illustrated over the years is, frankly, staggering. In my search for articles, I picked out enough to fill PDFs many times over (hence this being part one in a series of Painting and Modelling Collections) and have done much head-scratching about what to show and where. Ultimately, I opted for a mix of authors and themes – a veritable smorgasbord of hobby delights for you to feast on. This Collection features frequent Wi contributors such as D ..read more

North Star – Frostgrave Cultists II review The temperature in Felstad may be rather chilly, but the North Star figure forges are still running at high temperature. We take a look at their Cultists II plastic set. The North Star plastic production juggernaut rolls on and this time it’s pumping out new Frostgrave Cultists. Anyone familiar with the numbering of North Star box sets will know the score by now; set two flips the gender to cover female figures, and that’s the case here. A broad selection of parts is packed into each box: 21 heads, just about every set of arms and weapons you can imag ..read more

Sarissa Precision – World War Europe 15mm review We review a range of new 15mm MDF from Sarissa and James constructs a ruined townhouse. 15mm is a scale that is extremely well suited to mixing the practicalities of gaming with the dramatic sweep of a terrain-heavy board. The only real downside is that at the dinkier scale, it can be tough to imbue your terrain builds with the same detail as a 28mm offering. Thank goodness, then, for Sarissa’s comprehensive and growing World War Europe 15mm range! These varied buildings are perfect for WWII action but also versatile enough to be used in a varie ..read more

Ark Royal Miniatures by Warfare Miniatures – World War One 1/4800th scale ships review Warfare Miniatures go big on going small with the substantial release of their Ark Royal 1/4800 scale World War One naval range. With an initial glut of over 60 packs, Warfare Miniatures are providing gamers with the entire WWI Grand Fleet and High Seas Fleet. The Royal Navy in Home Waters, Colonial Service, and the Mediterranean are also covered. While 1/4800 scale naval gamers have been well served with WWI models by Navwar for many years, there has certainly been a space in the market for a new producer o ..read more

I’m writing this month’s Insider Insight after spending the day going through the test version of our redesigned Wargames Illustrated website with designer Joe. He’s been chipping away at this new and improved site for months and the end is in sight (which I think Joe is happier about than anyone!). Testing is underway, with a small group trying their best to break things as you read this, and will ramp up through the start of July until our full launch. As well as looking better and offering quicker, smoother browsing and shopping, Joe’s ensured WiPrime Member content is all easy to get at. A ..read more

Mike Peters visited the Wargames Illustrated office this week with a fine collection of his figures to take photos for some Ruckus expansions.

The Ruckus extras will arrive in future issues of the magazine and be posted online ..read more

The advent of Warlord Games’ Hail Caesar Epic Battles has sent us into Ancients adulation here at Wi Towers. Naturally, we were very keen to get the new Epic scale (that’s roughly 15mm to me and you) models to you as Freebie Frames as soon as possible, and we are particularly pleased at having bagged (literally) five different Epic options for you ..read more
