Get ready for something new and improved – AT43 is about to be released!
AT43 is full blown 28mm wargame that comes pre-painted and ready to play. This is NOT yet another collectable miniature game.
It’s a proper miniatures battle game, produced by a company that are at the top of their field in Europe.
Rackham have been very clever about this, fearing that AT43 would just be seen as another collectable game, they’ve made the box with a lift up lid so players can see the paint quality and the amount of content in the box. This in itself will probably be the deciding factor for most gamers.
This is the first in a generation of new ready-to-play wargames, others will follow but it is AT43 that has broken the mould. It sets the benchmark for the followers.
The figures are made from the high quality solid hard-plastic that you would only find in the best model kits and miniatures.
The painting quality is awesome. These are really top-notch and easily reach the quality of an average wargamer, if not better. Not only that but the paint is applied thinly leaving the full detail of the sculpt open for all to see, and more importantly allowing you to re-paint the figure if you wanted.
Lets face it Rackham have been forerunners in sculpt quality and mould finish for a while, they’ve demonstrated with Confrontation an ability to push the technical limitations further in order to offer the public a technical and visual quality unseen before in miniatures. They are taking this about a dozen steps further with AT43.
AT-43® was designed to answer the requirements of hardcore gamers and casual players alike. Its game system is intended for a wide clientele.
The starter or ‘Initiation’ Set: ‘Operation Damocles’ provides a "ready to play" game, just waiting to be used without having to invest in other products of the range. You will find all you need to play AT-43® inside.
