looks like you didn't select all the sprues so you either need to contact them (thedamned@wargamesatlantic.com) or they'll default those 6 to (male) damneded infantry

the 5 box deal could net up to 21 free sprues

5 + 12 from stretch goals + 2 for getting a certain no backer +1 for backing in the firsr 24hrs & +1 if you were followed pre-launch)

if you dont' contact they will ship your order as just male infantry only orders are on hold unless you specifically say that's what you're after

I’ve been inundated with emails regarding pledge updates for those that have either failed to save their selections or have had issues with the pledge manager.

I’m working through them one at a time and will reply to your email once I’ve dealt with your request. Please bear with me.

My pledge is good and has all my choices, still no update on shipping.

When it was just everyone waiting I was fine but knowing other folks are getting their stuff while I got no update is a little irritating.

Same. I have 20 boxes coming... And these will likely sit in my basement for quite a while until I am back in a mindset to play with them though. But I still am anxious to get them...

Thank you for the link.. I found some cool bits to make my female damned unique... if I ever get them. The last pic will be for my rough riders... who will get some female torso conversions.

The companion set to Partisans (1): French Resistance is coming in hot! WAAWA008 Partisans (2): French Women is in tooling now!

This 30 figure set features five unique poses with a variety of weapon (and other) arms and of course a huge # of heads!

Oh Rene!

I hope they bring more 10mm "Grand Scale Battle" Settings.

After Sengoku and Fantasy, Azincourt and Seven Years War are next. - Rumors say Dark Age (Hastings 1066) or Roman Republican Era after that.

Oh boy some kind of vehicle in the latest sneak peek! Some large flat hull bits and some hydraulic gear - landing legs or ramp supports!? Generic sci-fi drop lander would sure be nice...

Could be some sort of drop pod or dropped weapon emplacement, could just be a sprue of field guns.

general consensus in the WGA official facebook group is that it's a sprue of death fields terrain.. armored barricades with fold out legs to hold them up.

we know that arena terrain has been in the works since it's been in the release schedule for most of the year.and some official plastic terrain was inevitable now that we have the deathfields ruleset being worked up.
plus the current release schedule has:"Death fields Arena Barriers" listed as "tooling complete"

Update on US shipping.
If you’ve been following the recent updates, you’ll know that we’ve encountered some issues affecting several pledges. I requested that any backers who believed their pledge was incorrect provide details, and the deadline for those submissions has now passed. Any requests received after this point will not be processed.

To correct over 100 pledges, I had to temporarily pause fulfilment in the US. I’m confident that all updates will be completed by the end of this week, with US fulfilment resuming on Monday, 17 November.

I understand how frustrating this must be. I’m personally going through and manually updating all of these pledges, so I do appreciate your patience.

Best wishes

Charlie

As my good friend Foghorn Leghorn has been known to say: "Boy, I say, boy...if you're going to pay anything...pay attention!" Sadly, many backers definitely did NOT. Poor Charlie has been dealing with all the mess of it. Getting there. - Tony

I can't say I'm happy waiting on a project that was already behind schedule, but I appreciate a company doing right by the backers who didn't get their pledge put in right originally.

If you had told me I'd be waiting on something I ordered in 05 2023 and that it's so delayed I've had to drop out of a couple of 30k events for late 2025/early 2026 as my army I wanted to use hasn't arrived I'd of called you mad!

I don't suppose theres anything on a more concrete UK/EU timeline as I saw nothing really indicating such in the recent Gamefound updates.

After seeing the earlier message in this forum on how it also could of been people's pledge manager not working correctly, I feel this comment is in incredibly poor taste to say of your customers.

Meh there's always the 10% of functional illiterates in every crowdfund. This includes not checking if your pledge has gone through once in 2 years despite multiple appeals to do so.

 Gir Spirit Bane wrote:

I feel it's worth mentioning that a Crowdfunding Pledge is an investment to get a thing into production, not an 'order'. Crowdfunding timelines are almost always a bit wibbly, and it's not at all unusual for projects involving physical miniatures to run a year or more behind schedule.

Mildly annoyed, but only because recent news of shipping reminded me about my order and thinking that they'd be here by now. My order has been correctly noted from the beginning so hopefully it will be here soon, but I'm not stressing.

Gir Spirit Bane wrote:If you had told me I'd be waiting on something I ordered in 05 2023...

I'd say "Welcome to the world of Crowdfunding!"

I do feel for you having to reschedule events, but it's good practice for the future to NEVER schedule anything around the arrival of a crowdfunded product.

Best to keep your expectations low, do your best to forget you ordered and enjoy the surprise when it arrives.

Yeah lesson learnt on this one. I'm excited to have my pledge arrive and will be a lot more reserved on future things.

Having pledged for Kingdom Death and Robotech RPG Tactics, I feel this was one of the smoother, less painful Kickstarter experiences.

Same. Got into crowdfunding from day 1 (Relic Knights, Bones 1, Deadzone...) and this is as good as it gets.

Well that's just not true. Some crowdfunding campaigns have realistic timelines and manage to stick to them. Some have particularly cautious estimates and even manage to deliver ahead of schedule.

Of course, if a project massively blows up beyond expectations, it's usually unlikely that the original schedule can be kept - raising a hundred times the money doesn't typically allow you to scale up physical production by the same amount. Alongside "will I get anything at all", the delivery time is one of the main gambles you take with crowdfunding over ordering a product that's in stock somewhere.

But yeah, no, some companies and persons are absolutely better at creating realistic timelines (and/or adjusted timelines following the campaign), and sticking to them. Saying it's better than the likes of Kingdom Death is a woefully low bar.

Let's just say the average project is not like that ^^

And then there's the likes of RRT, of course >_>

And not everyone can be Kevin Crawford/Sine Nomine Games either.

What are some examples of KS campaigns for well known games or companies that gave a realistic timeframe and delivered on time?

I think Archon managed a couple of times, out of their two dozen campaigns. Certainly the exception.

Archon, as in the Phoenix corp of Kickstarter villain Prodos, Archon? Glad to hear they finally figured out Kickstarter, I guess.

Edit: nevermind.

Hm.... for miniatures games I'm not that sure... last I went in was the Epic Warpath one and it got late by about 5 months.

RPGs, OTOH... 2 Little Mice have always delivered about a month ahead of time (the various Household and Outgunned RPG Kickstarters), and so have all of Sine Nomine campaigns (All the "Without Number" games). Those two are pretty much a known quantity by now.

I would suspect that's because for their last few campaigns they've already had everything made and were just using the crowdfunding as an extended preorder system.

 BobtheInquisitor wrote:

My memory is fuzzy, but I backed a few of the first Reaper Bones Kickstarters and they were pretty close to on time.

Mega Minis did a couple that delivered promptly. They were basically pre-orders for figures he had acquired and just needed the start up cash to put back in production.

I think the Ramshackle Games campaigns for "Nuclear Renaissance, Tome of Triddlins" and Space Dwarves did right. Same for the 2 Burrows and Badgers that I did.

Did several Mantic and half were late but they all delivered.

Very different companies, but they were all companies with a solid track record in minis and that I trusted.

I'm not sure that a few examples of projects that delivered on time (or just a little late, in the case of Bones) disproves the claim that it's not unusual for crowdfunding projects to run late, though.

It's worth noting as well that none of those examples include HIPS tooling (other than Mantic, which frequently runs late), which is really prone to timeline blowouts if it's being done properly.

It certainly would have been preferable for everyone involved if this particular project had run on time... but anyone backing a crowdfunding project should be keeping in mind that the estimated delivery is exactly that, and the more complex the project, the more likely that estimate will have to be revised along the way.

Definitely not what I was trying to say. I've got a pretty good track record of projects delivering close to on-time and I still expect lateness.
I also am probably an outlier and many of my on-timers were small, manageable projects from companies that have their stuff together and weren't trying anything new.

Yeah my Hard suits from Defiance games certainly arrived on time, no issues there at all...

Sneak Peek! Our first Bronze Age release is off to tooling! New Kingdom Egyptian Archers and Spearmen will be with us soon! What comes next? (Hint: a LOT!)

Ooh nice! I could use a sprue or two of those.

Only one khopesh? Other than that, great kit.

Khopesh is for the officer of course. The grunts get spears or bows. That sounds about right.

 Easy E wrote:

Yeah, I know. It’s a great kit. I just like to convert my minis to represent an inverted command pyramid: a dozen Big Hats for every grunt. Oh well, I still have a stash of Tomb Kings blades somewhere…

The search function isn't working for me here. I know that the Marcher Gamefound is being done but a different company, though Wargames Atlantic are doing the minis. Is there a separate thread for that? Or is here the place to discuss? I like the looks of some of the stuff, and may add to combine with my Damned, if it ever ships. Especially the Badger suits, and if the tanks unlock. I Like the Empire units in the starter set... $200 seems expensive though...

I am not interested in the rule books, the tokens or the dice... the dice valued at $30... but I guess seeing that the units are $40 each at the Gamefound price (Though $35 in the addon section) I guess the boxed set is the cheapest these will ever be...

https://gamefound.com/en/projects/golden-dragon-games-inc/marcher-empires-at-war-first-edition

Interesting, I thought WGA wasn't interested in vehicle kits. I guess they're on the menu now.

IIRC the search function is being rebuilt after the move to a new server, or something.

Since I started the original Marcher thread however it was pretty easy to find.

Has anyone gotten their Damned models yet? I was hoping we would have had a X amount shipped/remaining post by now even with the sprue choice issue.

 legionaires wrote:

All I received was confirmation that my sprue issue had been fixed (it seems there were 6 extra sprues with no choices made...my bad).

Aside from that I just assume that I will be one of the last as my order was sufficiently complex to probably give the folks at WGA a headache with picking and packing...

 legionaires wrote:

I have not. Nothing since the "preparing for shipping" notice a month ago. 2 months ago? Whenever it was. The last I see Charlie in the comments is the 19th.

gr8bri10 11/17/2025 2:32 PM

Has shipping in the US resumed?

Charlie-WargamesAtlantic 11/19/2025 7:20 AM

Yes

 legionaires wrote:

Not me. Mine has been "Preparing for shipping" for 2-3 months now. Supposedly US shipping resumed on November 17th, but that was a projection from the last update on November 12th. At this point I'm hoping to have them by the end of the year, but who knows...

This is why I didn't back them, and instead put my Kickstarter money in a tried and true company like Hasslefree.

 Kid_Kyoto wrote:

Ouch. That's some strong satire...

Unfortunately, even back then it was very much a comparison of a strong company on the rise vs a small shop going the opposite way.

I am still hopeful, and I was a fan of Wargames factory back in the day, and like the redemption and all... but had i known at the time, I probably would not have backed.

I really am chomping at the bit to get my palette of The Damned, because of rules developments in Horus Heresy I'm more excited for them now than when I backed. I might even have to pick up extra sets retail.

EU shipping should start soon and I hope doesn't also get put on pause part way through over incomplete pledge managers.

 legionaires wrote:

Still nothing for me either. I know WA will get to it eventually, but it's kind of chafing seeing them do all this other work on new sets without fulfilling pledges.

They're confirmed in the comments on the 19th that US shipping has resumed

Lack of proper comms still isn't great though. I've kind of resigned to it being 2026 before the Damned actually get here now.

I haven’t taken any pics yet. I hadn’t thought about it.

I showed the minis to a friend and he noticed that the basic Damned seem to be a little bit softer in detail than the other kits, such as the heavy troops. They were also lighter grey, so maybe just slightly translucent or something?

The beastmen have a bunch of head options besides “goat”. Mostly “cat”. They’re also slighter than standard Damned, closer to female Damned in proportion.

But these are small complaints. The sprues look great.

Here are some pictures I took:

Here's some of the Cavalry I've been working on

Easy to un-spike/de-evil are they?

Friday email did say they're wrapping up delivery soon and going to retail, starting with an army box and the Mauler.

I'm sure they'll deliver, but since they've not even started the non-USA fulfilment yet i cant imagine them getting done before the end of the year now

especially when all the couriers start giving excuses as to why their vans are full of Xmas stuff and they don't have space to do the pick up they promised, or they'll do the pick up but only take 1/4 of the load they were expected to

Yea getting it done in December is iffy. And given the apparent pace of US delivery, pause aside, I'm not sure they could get everything out the door in a month even on a different month.

I am in the US... still no word on mine. But I guess someone has to be last. I am off 2 weeks for Christmas... It would be nice to have them by then...

 lord_blackfang wrote:

If they are about to wrap up then I appreciate an update on how many of us are remaining. Even Uncle Atom from Tabletop Minions is still waiting on his delivery. I was hoping to have my shipping notification before the Black Friday sales ended but no luck.

December 5, 2025 Wargames Atlantic
Introducing Sprue Game!
Let's get a little crazy once more!

It's time once again for Wargames Atlantic to embrace the unknown and leave our fate in the hands of our dear customers and fans! In the past we've held a contest to vote for a pair of traditional adversaries. The winners of that contest were the Conquistadors vs Aztecs. We also did a contest that resulted in the Landsknecht Ogres. And we've asked for lots and lots of hard plastic ideas over the years.

Let's do it again! This will be a multi-stage contest that will result in a new 10mm or 28mm hard plastic set!


Here's how it works:

Step 1: today we open up submissions (using the form below) to enter your ONE idea for a new 10mm or 28mm hard plastic set. Those who want to participate will submit just the title of a set like WW2 Home Guard Postmen or Post Apocalyptic Candy Stripers or Twin Suns of Mars Orphan Pickpockets. Please don't ask for Star Wars Stormtroopers or Game of Thrones Lannisters or Dune Sardaukar or (the gods forbid) anything Games Workshop related!!! (as we don't own the rights to make ANY of those!) You will also have to use the dropdown menu to choose the range your entry fits into or, as we know some of you will, the "Other" category.



Don't do this. (Art of Quigonjim)

Step 2: after we've received enough entries we'll put them to the vote. This vote may be done in rounds (if there are a huge number of entries) or divided by category depending on what comes in. Eventually we'll reduce them down to your Top 10.

Those who submitted the Top 10 ideas will each get their choice of a Wargames Atlantic plastic set. In the case of duplicate entries it will be determined on a first-submitted basis. You are allowed one submission per person and only the first submission will be counted.



So many choices!

Step 3: the Top 10 will be put to a vote with the winner going into production. We'll include the community in every step of the production process from the creation of the sculpting brief, to first work-in-progress renders, to 3D prints, to the sprue layout, the illustration for the box, the painted figures, and finally to the sprue itself. Whoever submitted the winning entry will also win your choice of any 12 existing or upcoming plastic sets!

Another 'vote on kit idea submissions' contest is up.

https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/introducing-sprue-game

I went with my Medieval Monks / Pulp Cultists dual kit idea again. I got to the finals last time, netting me a box of lizardmen. But then people voted for Lansknecht Ogres...for...some reason.

i want's modular robots, with guns, and tracks, and legs, and manipulators, and tactical rocks

Aww, man, in a contest like this I'd go for Klingon warriors immediately :(

I went for 'General Accoutrements: Dogs'.
Loads of kits have an odd dog, but I feel there is room for a whole box of them on the market. You can add one or two to plenty of armies, and roleplayers love pets for their characters.

Other ideas I was tempted to suggest (feel free to steal and submit if you like):
Various Lovecraft monsters - all in public domain, many lacking decent representation in miniature form. The 'elder things' from At the Mountains of Madness are the hardest to find miniatures for, and seem well-suited to a multi-part kit (couple of bits for the body, folded and unfolded wings, few sets of tentacles, assorted feet and heads). Deep Ones / Classic Fantasy Fishmen / Tritons / Gill-men etc. are another option, as are the 'fungi from Yuggoth' (Mi-Go according to Chaosium, but that isn't really consistent with The Whisperer in Darkness), Cone-Beings (the old hosts for the Great Race of Yith), and ghouls of the rubbery dog-face variety.
There are a ton of options for animal kits. Either something like a pack of ordinary wolves (possibly with some weird parts for fantasy / horror) or a collection of themed animals (e.g. North-American wildlife with bears, cougars, coyotes, rattlesnakes, etc. beasts of burden with camels, mules, and so on with a load of pack bits, horror animals with bats, rats, centipedes, and the like).
Maggots, worms, and leeches. The giant maggots from the Weird War sprue are so good (and, I'm sorry to say, the rest of the sprue is so bad) the sculptor should really be allowed to expand into a kit dedicated to horrible soft-bodied invertebrates.
Modular robots have already been suggested, but some more specific robot kits could also work. Robo-dogs, UAVs (quadcopters, loitering munitions, FPV bombers), sentry guns...
Classic Fantasy: Ape-Men. A staple of sword-and-sorcery fiction. Different heads can give you everything from hirstute Frank Frazetta-style cavemen to upright apes or even morlocks.
Classic-Fantasy: Cave-Women in Fur Bikinis. I don't think I need to explain this.
Classic-Fantasy: Beefcake Barbarians. I don't think anyone actually makes a kit of just Arnold-as-Conan style bodybuilders in fur breechclouts. Seems like a gap in the market.
Death-Fields: Chainsaw-sword-wielding Masochistic Nuns. OK, it might not be the best name, but I think we all know that a certain plastic kit from another company really let a lot of people down. We deserve better.
Classic Fantasy: Chimeras. Finally, WA can really indulge their desire to add alternative heads to their sprues.
An absolute ton of basic mythical creatures could easily work in the classic fantasy range. Harpies and minotaurs seem especially ripe for decent sculpts.
Classic Fantasy: Medieval Rabbit-Men. Everyone's favourite weirdness from the margins of illustrated manuscripts. Possibly mounted on giant snails.

Two things I thought about lately after looking on their site
Snakeman: Various snake/cobra heads with human shaped torso and tails instead of legs, with both fantasy and sci-fi weapon/gun arms like the lizardman box

Also, they could do a Death Fields scale dirt bike kit, like the generic riderless horse box, then they could do different faction rider spurs later

I voted for robots and so should everyone else!

The 10mm English and French Agincourt-armies have been released. Looking so good my suggestion for the competition is that they do War of the Roses infantry in 10mm.

On sale in much bigger army-packs compared to other 10mm releases:

Modular Beast-men. Like the classic Warhammer books, where they were different creatures and mutations. Throw in both modern and fantasy arms too so they can fit into most people's games.

My you Romans sure are a contentious people

I suggested the generic "battlefield terrain sprue" tank traps, sandbags, barrels, supply crates all nice and generic in a handy multipack.

I voted for Late Republican Romans, to be more clear.

They're also on Hudson's "List" of thing he wants to do.

Yeah Lord Blackfang is just joking around because you didn't vote for robots (as you clearly should have).

Interstingly the "The Damned" Beastmen, actually fit this pretty well. Not much in terms of mutations, but the sprue includes a variety ofnon-sci-fi beastmen animal head types and options for hands with CCWs. Also, their armor/shirts are as suitable for fantasy as sci-fi.



Could really be spiced up with an additional sprue of arms, sheilds, weapons and mutations though...

I deliberately ordered some of these with the intention of doing them as fantasy troops. I'll probably add a few bits and pieces from my bits library though.

More updates, (potentially) more delays...

https://gamefound.com/en/projects/mwg--wargames-atlantic/the-damned/updates/91

Don't worry we fixed it!
So this is somewhat embarasing but you're in this too - there's only one power backpack on the main Heavy Infantry sprue! We don't know how it happened and nobody called it out for months but here we are. We realized last month the set wasn't complete without enough backpacks to hook the tubes into. So we had to quickly tool up some backpacks and here they are.

Production has already finished in the UK and they are hitting the warehouse later this week. The US production on these will take place as soon as we get the mold over from the UK.

So slainte we're sorry about the mess up but fixing it now!

So much for getting my pledge this year.

Another snafu on The Damned is rather upsetting.

The 10mm English and French Agincourt-armies have been released. Looking so good my suggestion for the competition is that they do War of the Roses infantry in 10mm.

On sale in much bigger army-packs compared to other 10mm releases:

Wow those are a lot of minis. Going to check the price at my FLGS...

Interstingly the "The Damned" Beastmen, actually fit this pretty well. Not much in terms of mutations, but the sprue includes a variety ofnon-sci-fi beastmen animal head types and options for hands with CCWs. Also, their armor/shirts are as suitable for fantasy as sci-fi.

Spoiler:

Could really be spiced up with an additional sprue of arms, sheilds, weapons and mutations though...

I deliberately ordered some of these with the intention of doing them as fantasy troops. I'll probably add a few bits and pieces from my bits library though.

That is nice! I've only just seen this as I wasn't looking at the damned stuff much!
A mutations sprue with a few bodies, different heads, and arms etc, would make that into a really nice kit for fantasy and sci-fi!

IIRC, a mutations sprue might have been one of the stretch goals that wasn't reached? I'm not even doing a Chaos force and I'd have had a sprue or two just for general conversions. Luckily my bits box has a fair amount of mutant-ish bits and lots of CCW in it, but a proper sprue would be such a useful addition and so many folks have asked about one over the years.

Another set worth looking at if you're ok with more heavily armored Beastmen is "Frostgrave Demons"

Only one major style of Beastman head and not the animal varieties that I like, but there's enough to do the whole set as beastmen and lots of weapon options. Between the two kits you could probably mix and match and make nicely varried light and Heavy Beastman units.

You could also separate out some of the less beasty torsos to make chaos warriors.

Many people have raised the idea of a mutations sprue, and it was an option that WGA put to a vote during the Damned campaign, but of course it lost to Heavy Infantry. (Not what I'd call a fair competition, putting a kitbashing mod kit up against an essential core unit.) They should have made both.

Here's the WIP of the mutation sprue that WGA showed at the time (as applied to standard male Damned troopers):



I'd like a lot more variety than this WIP shows, but I'd certainly buy the complete version, and I still think a mutation sprue like this is a great idea. Note that they made the mutations so they'd fit in with fantasy as well as they do with sci-fi.

One objection the last time I brought it up was that mutations can look silly or cartoonish (I don't remember the exact turn of phrase,) but I don't really think that's an issue. GW's chaos mutants have always been partly absurd, since their mutations are based on sin and dark magic rather than genetics. That said, 'proper' sci-fi mutants frequently look a bit silly as well - The Thing (not technically a mutant, but it was essentially always mutating) grew a mouth in its stomach, which was horrific and one of Carpenter's most famous gruesome moments, but it (not to mention the equally memorable walking spider head) was also a bit ridiculous, even wryly humorous. And how many variations on tentacled humans have you seen over the course of your sci-fi geekhood? Why are tentacles (rather than, say, beaks) considered the most probable mutations by so many sci-fi properties? Basically because they look cool. Miniature mutants have always been a bit silly, and gamers nevertheless love them, warts and all.

I'm basically of the opinion that you can never have too many options for mutations, so a mutation sprue would be an easy sell to me. I'd happily buy 20 completely different mutation sprues.

And yes, you can 3-D print mutation options, but that's not really saying anything. You can 3-D print your entire miniature collection these days, but enough people still prefer polystyrene's ease of use, higher durability, and lesser toxicity that traditional miniature manufacturers are still in business.

As long as the quality and variety of a hard plastic mutation sprue were done well, I think it would sell. In WGA's case, the existence of the Damned line of products even gives it an immediate context. I bet there'd be plenty of Damned buyers (not to mention kitbashers of other lines) who'd like to add variety to their troopers and beastmen with some choice mutations.

I mean, if they have now tanks on the table, chances are that the damned become quite popular, so maybee they will revisit the Mutant sprue.

I keep hoping so and that the kit would allow Spawn sized mutants as well, similar to how the WGA Harvesters

The Damned mutation tentacles at least look better than the ones on the Weird War upgrade sprue. Those are terrible. Agree that tentacles are way over-done though.

Just a note for others considering using the Frostgrave Demons kit:

The arms are very very short and I don't think they will look good on normal size miniatures. They do make for terrific evil dwarf arms though, which is what I've used them for.

I always liked the Weta Hobbit Goblins



For a fairly realistic take on morlocks/mutants

I'd be interested in a bespoke mutant kit (with lots of extra compatible bits) rather than a mutant upgrade sprue. Hunchbacks, tumors, misshapen limbs, rags, you get the idea.

how did I miss those?

What's the manufacturer?

They're the Beastmen kit from "The Damned" crowd fund campaign. I imagine they'll hit retail next year after backer fulfillment completes.

I’m hopeful the Damned beastmen will play nicely with the Frostgrave Gnoll sprue (possibly a closer match than the demons) between them should be able to make some feral beasts.

That's a fantastic idea!

I hadn't thought about the Gnolls but that's a good call. That just makes me want the mutations even more.
