===Death Fields=== Wargames Atlantic's sci-fi line, these kits represent squads or bands of soldiers and warriors abducted from all points in time and every corner of the universe to fight to the death in arena combat for the entertainment of a bunch of depraved aliens, the deceased brought back to life by advanced technology at the end of every match, and and many teams are even allowed to have children in order to feed the insatiable demand for the bloodsport. *Raumjäger Infantry 24 men in a box for £25 so that's £1.04 a model. The idea behind these boys is a WW2 german paratrooper vibe, but they would make good proxies for someone looking at an [[Armageddon Steel Legion]] army. 6 identical sprues, each has a flamer, a plasma gun, some heavy rifle that won't port over to GW too well ([[Counts As|maybe a melta gun?]]), and a vox caster. These are chunky boys with lots of webbing on them so its a bit of a challenge to make interesting conversions, though not impossible. They also have a smattering of female heads which is appreciated. *Les Grognards Yet another 24 for boys for £25. We have a classic French look and greatcoats, and they come with a plethora of head options (192 in total, I believe): shakos, bearskins (do I hear Vostroyan?), kepi, and the classic Adrian Helmet. [[Awesome|Do you want each of these to come with a gas mask as well as an open-faced version? Well, that's what you get.]] Considering other manufacturers like Anvil Industries will sell you 7 alternative heads for about £3.50 alone, this box is a steal for the right audience. Each sprue comes with a flamer, plasma gun, melta gun and grenade launcher as well as a rather nice-looking chainsword. *Les Grognard Command/Heavy Weapon This box which comes with three sprues, and enough to build six heavy weapons and 12 men for £25. Everything is compatible with the infantry set, so if you bought one of each you get a few options to play around with. Each sprue has the option of four heavy weapons, a lascannon, mortar, some kinda gatling thing (could work as a stand in for a heavy bolter) and a weird anti-aircraft gun, so your mileage may vary but you can make three convincing Mortar and lascannon teams from the kit at least. You also have some command options such as a sniper, medic, standard-bearer and vox operator, also anyone looking for some decent sci-fi bicorns will be in their element. The set also has some lady heads which is always appreciated, [[France|and a bottle of wine]]. *Einherjar These boys come in a box of 24 for £25. These are a combination of Vikings and [[Squats]], so we see furs and beards and some medieval helmets. It contains 8 sprues, and each sprue holds three bodies, a flamer, a plasma gun, a grenade launcher, a vox caster and a shield and an axe for some reason. As they are space dorfs, they are smaller than GW's (and WA's own) humans, but fairly slim compared to a GW dwarf. *Cannon Fodder 1 and 2 30 guardsmen or 24 guardswomen for £25. They appear to be in some kind of prison jumpsuit and the rifles they carry look the most similar to a [[lasgun]] WA have made yet, and come with options for shaved heads, soft caps, helmets, and some kind of HAZMAT-esque gasmasks. Worth considering if you want to make a [[penal legion]], [[Planetary Defense Force]], [[Lost and the Damned|Traitor Army]] or if you just want some conscripts that stand out from the rest of your troops. The only special weapon they get is one plasma gun per sprue, which is a bit of an odd choice considering what they are supposed to represent, but hey. The second box is entirely composed by female figures, so they naturally have different poses, heads and weapons, but the backpacks are identical. The girls only come in a box of 24 for the same price however, which is a little disappointing but still better than GW's prices. It's worth noting that the girls' box includes a couple of hands holding daggers, two holding pistols and one with a chain hook, so with a bit of work you could just about squeeze out a 10-(wo)man hand-to-hand squad from the box. *Bulldogs The set for the [[Praetorian Guard]] fans, 24 space British troops with a selection of quasi-historical heads and weaponry, from WW1-style Broodies, to Zulu Wars-era Piths, as well as a hand holding a teacup. Special weapons include a Lewis-looking LMGs, plasma guns, SMGs/assault rifles, a grenade launcher and an odd-looking flamer. For anyone who ever wanted those classic metal models here is a chance to put together a force for a very decent price. *Ooh Rah Operators operating operationally, the kit. US Marines from the near-future kidnapped to play in the Death Fields, they look perhaps a bit too modern for 40k aesthetics. 24 men per box, with assault rifles, shotguns, carabines, and big railgun-looking machine guns. Bare heads, baseball caps, boonie hats, combat helets with and without face mask protection for all of your head-picking needs. *Harvesters - Alien Bugs As you might have inferred by their name, these are WA's Tyranids, falling somewhere between Terma-/Hormagaunts and Warriors. You get 20 per box, plus 10 dog-sized beasties to accompany them, and have a couple of ranged bio-weapon options alongside the classic scythe-like claws. *Space Nam Technically not part of the Death Fields series, but pretty much made for it, in collaboration with [[Reptilian Overlords]]. A box of 20 guys with a very strong Catachan vibe, they sport the obligatory lasguns and have options for bolt guns, flamers, plasma guns, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, melta guns and [[Choppa|the sword equivalent of a combat knife]]. *Death Fields Weapon Upgrade Sprue 001 One sprue that gives you 6 Pickelhaube gasmask heads (with separate air units), 6 laser rifle right arms, 6 bayonets, 5 autogun/shotgun right arms, 6 long-sleeved left arms, 3 bio-prosthetic left arms, and 2 pistol right arms to play around with, and although they may not perfectly fit every of the above (and below) kits as they were mostly meant for the Grognards, it's nothing a little hobby knife work will stop.
