On the cover of this month’s Miniature Wargames was a sprue of Wargames Atlantic Werewolves.
The Blood Cursed…the Fanged Ones…Nightpack…Lost Children of the Forest…whatever you call them the men and women who turn when the full moon shines are a scourge upon the Free Kingdoms. These half-man half-wolf beasts are both cunning and ferocious and once they pick up the scent of prey they are relentless. Villagers pray for the coming of the sun when the moon is full.
This is how the finished and painted versions look on the Wargames Atlantic website.
I like getting these free sprues on magazines as it gives you a chance to get an idea of what the models and quality are like from a manufacturer without initially spending money. Also, as with these werewolves you get a few models that would be ideal for a quick scenario idea.
These would be great for a weird world war scenario. It’s a full moon one night in 1940. A platoon of Home Guard are tasked with exploring strange lights and noises emanating from a deserted farmhouse. They are wondering if these are German spies, or even German paratroopers. However what they will be facing will be much worse, a band of werewolves.
Another idea for a scenario. During the Peninsular War the 95th Rifles are on the move to hunt down a French spy in a Spanish village. However unknown to them, the village is cursed and there is a full moon.
You get the idea.
