Up for preorder now. The cover looks better when painted.
@Caratacus I believe there is a full refund available up to 15 days after close of fund raising. And a 90% refund after that. This is from memory. Couple of pet theories on the contra...
@JTam Strange to see a crowdfunder actually drop rather than rise, unless some backers are for some reason abandoning their pledges? Though I thought with these things that once you've pledged, you...
Slaped on first browns I also added some rubble... maybe I should have done that before priming.... Next step is painting the stonework
We are going the wrong way: Monday morning 5 JUN 23: There's no reason to freak out. I would imagine we can look forward to $100,000.00 or more pledges on the last couple days of the fund...
@Caratacus OK. My first thought when seeing the Hounds was they would be excellent Cold One Hound things for Dark Elf Mordheim/Lustria gangs.
Perhaps, but the design is very on line with creatures in a lot of modern sci-fi. My first thought is they're pretty close to Titan Fall prowlers.
@JTam Like others, I must say that those 'hounds' look much better than expected. I thought they'd just be some cheap Chaos Warhound knock-offs, but those are much better. I wonder if WA was inspi...
What a good idea! I trust you're fielding these as a Tau army with Guard allies for the lasgun troops?
@Slow Painter Good shout, I would also add that Napoleon's Wars needs an apostrophe. Yes I am a spelling and grammar policeman, and blooming well proud of it.
@JTam Think I'm a troll, do you? I have just as much right to an opinion as you do. Just because I don't always agree with you on things and I'm not always happy at things WA release, it doe...
How do you incentive all the fence sitters who are not unreasonably saying to themselves "I can buy these kits later if I want at about the same price retail"? WGA has never done meta...
10th Edition Warhammer 40K boxset dropping nowish probably isn't helping.
@Drangir This is weird.
Dropped again :/
Heck, release some box art into the wild.
And more test models sent to more "Influencer" painters to post on their social media.
@Drangir Maybe some battle scenes with painted miniatures in good terrain versus Grognards. Advertise that (Grognards) line as well.
This just popped up on Bell of Lost Souls: That should spread the word a bit. https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2023/06/the-damned-minis-are-live-on-gamefound-now.html
@JTam Agreed completely. I don't think I seen much more than a sparse tweet from around war game hobby sphere, while there are multiple creators open and enthusiastic about proxy/system agnostic mo...

Hey all! While Hudson has been working hard on producing the multi-part Quar I've been sculpting dozens of new models to release alongside them and in the months following. Here are some Crusader...

Sneak Peak 2 JUN 23: I would guess potential Damned heavy/carapace Infantry.
11:46 2 JUN 23: Hopefully we hit $270,000.00 over the weekend.
Hi there, Silly, nitpicky issue I noticed with the products menu - under Ancients to Colonial, "First Empires" is listed as "First Empiires".

Sea Peoples and Master and Commander dropped today 1 JUN 23:

Very cool!: Was a little worried we might not get the artillery with the previous target.
I wonder when the Navy got Garands in WW2? They had to be low on priority of fill. Conversely the Navy used them for quite a while post war. Interesting read: https://www.ameri...
@JTam it will be a wee while. My WA Colonial Milita forces are due to deploy to TTR Lancaster for a Xenos Rampant demo game on Saturday. All painting and touch up resources are fully booked...
This is new! Nice! $200,000.00 is certain to happen. Also, if my mafs is correct I got one Infantry sprue for following pre-campaign, and will get an Infantry sprue at 1000 pl...
Well evidently it's only $170,000.00 to unlock the Hounds. Awesome.
@Geoff Maybury If The Damned Kickstarter reaches (a mere) $500,000, Wargames Atlantic will do a plastic kit for this: https://gamefound.com/projects/mwg--wargames-atlantic/the-damned#/sec...
Next big goal is $200,000.00 to unlock the Hounds. Fingers crossed. I'm excited to see what the actual "Hounds" will look like. Also, does anyone have any idea how to run these ...
Nice! Was really looking forward to the cavalry so glad they got unlocked. The free sprue will bulk out a unit(s) or be useful for converting mounted command.  ...
@Dennis Horne Would love to see your results when done.
OK, that's it - done, despite my usual source of sprues not having any CF(2), luckily I have a backup who wanted to play. I already have one fetching Ranger/Recon/Green Beret figure, now she's goi...
Thanks, So it's the SMALL option then, they look like they are CF2/ Stargrave 2 compatible. (I wonder if those Damned will turn up 40K sized to annoy kitbashers everywhere, needing LARGE heads in ...

@Dennis Horne Beautiful conversions. Nicely done.
@Dennis Horne Also check out @William Redford's projects using Statuesque heads here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/78196/next-project And here: https://wargamesat...
@Dennis Horne Statuesque Minis is the gold standard for female conversion heads. Check out here for what heads are probably best for your project: https://khorosho-productions.blogspot.com...
The helmets are very beautiful, did you 3D printed them? On YouTube there are a lot of tutorials about painting camuflage's schemes on infantry.
Thanks for feedback. I think the stumpy rifles will get silencers. Longer rifle might get some sort of laser/target painting device. There is a designated grenadier, but I might go for a couple ...
