Title: Wargames Atlantic the Damned
Post by: lord marcus on May 20, 2023, 11:52:26 PM
Wargames Atlantic has made their campaign page live. If you follow the campaign prior to launch and subsequently pledge, you will have an extra plastic infantry sprue added to your rewards package.

They've also stated more regular, non mutated parts will be added in the course of the campaign for those who want a less ragged look.

For those who don't know, Wargames Atlantic originally had a downloadable STL set for their MyMiniFactory tribe. This became popular enough that they are making a plastic set for the faction.

The original STLs are still there, but WA will be removing most of them at some point.

Those are shite. Not one of them looks anything like Dave Vanian or even Captain Sensible.

Yes, I am a millennial, but I have older parents. I've heard that before I just needed clarification. Thanks.

I'm really looking forward to Wargames Atlantic's damned.

Especially when they hit the cavalry stretch goal.

With a simple headswap, a full battalion of rough riders made in hard PLASTIC for the imperial guard becomes possible at realistic prices.

New explanation of freebies

The infantry look useful for multiple things once a few spikes are scraped off. I am also interested in the potential outriders of roughness - like the horse gas masks!

 How many people have went in on this one?

 Another free sprue when they hit 666 pledges.

 Also a free sprue if you pledge in the first 24 hours you get a sprue from the heavy weapons teams.

The freebies are good, the stretch goals look good, and the APC looks great. What's not to like, I say.

Campaign funded, first stretch goal unlocked too. Less than 30k to the damned cavalry aka outriders.

Get to pledging, y'all. A futuristic rohirrim charge awaits!

I like Wargames Atlantic.  I have several of their kits, and always eyeing others.  Something about this set, though, just doesn't scratch any itches.  I'm not annoyed like many on the Faceblog that are yelling about established companies using group funding sites to launch new lines, about starting new lines without finished old, etc.  I'm just ... meh.  I hope it goes, and I hope they follow it up with some more 'full lines' of stuff.  The post-apoc / not imperial guardsmen just never factored into my voting for potential future sets.

I am glad to see so many are hyped by it, though.  I'm also impressed by their offerings of STL for those who can't wait.  I don't have a printer, but that's some forward thinking (as now shown by Mantic) in a game company.

The problem with mantic's version of digital is that they've made current product lines available as digital, thus devaluing stock on shelves in retail stores everywhere.

Back on topic:

Damned Outriders (cavalry) have funded/freebie sprue added, and we're on the path of more freebie unlocks until the hounds at 200k. The hounds have been previewed on the Wargames Atlantic website:

On Dakka Dakka, Wargames Atlantic has confirmed if you add multiple "X box" packages, you get the freebies associated with those packages. Meaning you can effectively multiply your freebies if you pledge more money.

I was very pleased with my WGA Dark Age Irish miniatures, so this interests me greatly.

Backed for 5 boxes in the confident expectation this will meet any and all future needs for cultist/scumbag type armies. Riders, guns and hounds are all on the table now.

I went in for 3 boxes immediately, mostly to get Ogryns and horses with Gas masks for my not-evil gas-masked IG army.   Might up my pledge to 5 if something particularly good pops up.   

The new choose-your-sprules for the bonuses is pretty great in that you can essentially get a free box worth of miniatures of your choice starting at the 3 box pledge level.

These models are pretty cool! My buddy has the STL files and printed a few for me to paint up for my Dark Mechanicum Heretek warband. The two Damned models are on the far right and far left in this pic.
