Wargames Atlantics 28mm Cannon Fodder kit delivers a squad of expendable infantry ready to face the horrors of the battlefield or die trying. These plastic miniatures are designed to represent prison troops, conscripts, or disposable soldiers often thrown into the front lines of dystopian or grimdark sci-fi settings. With ragged uniforms, rugged equipment, and haunted expressions, the Cannon Fodder bring gritty realism and thematic depth to your tabletop games.

Each sprue provides a wide range of modular components, including rifles, pistols, melee weapons, and multiple head options from helmets to bare heads and gas masks. Whether youre assembling a penal legion, a desperate defence force, or human wave attackers for a narrative campaign, this set offers immense customisation. Perfect as a low-cost horde or as the narrative backbone of a desperate rebellion, the Cannon Fodder are as versatile as they are doomed.

History:

The idea of cannon fodder has long featured in both historical and fictional warfare describing poorly equipped, disposable troops used in overwhelming numbers to absorb enemy fire. In science fiction, these forces often take the form of penal battalions, enslaved populations, or undertrained militias used by authoritarian regimes or desperate commanders. Wargames Atlantics Cannon Fodder pays tribute to this dark trope with miniatures that feel grounded in both narrative and tactical play. Inspired by dystopian literature and grimdark aesthetics, these figures allow hobbyists to explore themes of sacrifice, oppression, and survival in the bleakest corners of future warzones.
