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.
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

Just slid backwards a grand overnight (it was $168,500ish Saturday night and it's $167,243 Sunday morning). WTF Europe? Kind of a disappointing weekend. Need to get this campa...

Sneak Peak 2 JUN 23: I would guess potential Damned heavy/carapace Infantry.

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...
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 Beautiful conversions. Nicely done.

Friday Email sneak peak 26 MAY 23: I believe we are looking at Hound handlers.
@Alessio De Carolis Nice find on the painting guide. Enjoyed the Krieg video as well. Shit got real at 4:35 when the shovel came out:
@Dennis Horne Thanks for the all the detail. I'm not sure I remember that book. I suppose that means it's time to start rereading them ;)
Couple new "sneak peaks here": https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/the-damned-moves-to-tuesday Maybe from the Command Sprue? And Artillery Sprue?
Is there a book where Sharpe is an Exploring Officer?
Fantastic work. I love the Sharpe books and this is an awesome project to see. Did you have much trouble using the Warlord, Perry, and Victrix parts with the Wargames Atlantic (WGA) Riflemen?&nbs...

WGA did release the very nice US Airborne kit as a FEB/MAY bonus:
Battle Toads dropped: They look really good for what they are. I really like the weapons: Does anyone else find frogs with teeth disconcerting? Where we are at 23 MAY 23:

@Charles Tottington Saw this on Facebook yesterday: So the answer to the original question is this, this, THIS!
@Bill Thomas Nice table!
So the campaign needs to reach $150,000 for the Cavalry to be made. And $200,000 for the Hounds. I wonder about the tank and artillery?
