It's a lot of plastic!


I do like the Brute models as well.

Whats your impression on the kits? Is part mixing easy between the various TD sprues.

Looks like a cross between a Skorne and a Ungor

That's because its not fantasy.

Guessing it's part of the Victorian Science Fiction line that has been teased lately.

Geez sorry for thinking a dude with a spear wasnt sci fi.

Thank you for setting me straight Wargames factory

I can't see any issues so far. I haven't tried mixing male/ female kits yet to see if there's a size disparity there but I'm not the sort of person to find that an issue once the models are in a squad.

I may use Heavy Infantry bodies with standard infantry parts to make a unit Champion for infantry units later on.

I have a LOT of plastic to play around with.

Very interested in the US Marcher minis for K47...but the shots of the actual minis are a bit lacking? Have they shown them off in better detail anywhere?

Here are the Mauler three swapable Mauler builds i detail in the WGA forum

https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/214700/damned-heavy-weapons-build-notes

Can the Mauler be build with 4 wheels, the middle wheel looks superfluous to me.

yes, you'd need to trim off a peg the wheel attaches but that should be easy enough and would give a more civilian look (modern military likes 6 or 8 wheels so they can loose some and still keep rolling)

Thank you for all thw work updating us on these models. It was a major risk for WGA to do so many kits at once but it seems to have paid off.

No problem, building is the most fun part for me, so it was just a question of taking a bunch of photographs and making some notes

I'm loving what i've played with so far,

It's almost the perfect crowdfunder, a great product, great value with the expected far longer than you expect delay. The delivery delays for non-US backers was a bit annoying but hey, the value was really, really good

The kits should fit so well in so many SF/post apocalypes games, and the beastmen even broadens the appeal out to the fantasy folk. I hope WGA does great business from them when they hit retail

(Edit: yes production took a lot longer than orignially intended, but that's how i expect a crowdfunder to run, especially one that unlocks a lot more than they expected. I quite understand people being annoyed if their original plan for them timed out, i'm lucky enought to have just wanted cool minis, eventually)

I like the Brutes and have knocked up a trio of squads so far. One with guns, one with the close combat weapons and shields and a third with the double handed axes.

Each is led by a Brute from the Command frame.









Lets see if I start getting bored if I hit 180 Damned Infantry.

built and painted, that beats me, they look good

The box arrived at a time to coincide with some enforced sick leave following an operation.

Lucky me?

However, thanks to your guides, I'm now building my heavy weapons correctly!

Has anyone tried combining the brute bodies with the sci-fi gun arms from the landsknecht ogres yet?

They should fit. I used them to make some Ventrillian Noble aligned Ogryns for my Imperial Guard when that box came out.




Unfortunately, I'm short on time at home so I can't head up to the loft to dig out my Ogre spare bits to check for now.

Has anyone else had any missing sprues? Mine arrived without one of the bonus sprues. I dropped them an email a couple of weeks back but haven't had a response yet. I'm sure they'll sort it eventually, it's understandable to miscount the occasional sprue with such a huge undertaking.

I received my package last saturday and was missing some spues, no answer yet of course because it was weekend

I received Cannon Fodder body sprues rather than the asked for weapons sprues for the 'lasgun' style weapons for other projects.

I'm not chasing them up because, frankly, it was an embarrassingly full big box of plastic I received.

I doubt I will have the time for those other projects!

I made some drop troopers. Anvil industry jump packs, mainly damned heavy infantry, ooh rah arms and heads and a Les grognards sentry gun.

https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/214947/drop-troops

Got the entire order and looking forward to start building the army and mixing in bitz from other kits and ranges.

Guys, I just got a mysterious tracking number

Any news/presentation/presence/anything at Adepticon?

Not quite what was asked for, but I tested some landsknecht ogre parts with the damned ogre command parts. The body and right arm are damned, the head and left arm are landsknecht.

The second picture is NOT a real picture. I uploaded my pic (pic 1) in Google gemini to look at some paint schemes. I just really like the image. So... disclaimer. PIC 2 in an AI picture based on my 1st picture... which is a real picture.

one cool ogre!
How do they compare to a GW cadian? For science?

Just got a notification that my delivery from Sarissa in the UK is now dispatched and on its way. I am really looking forward to these. I've split evenly between the female figures, because after the modifications I make they won't be as chunky as the male figures would, and the Heavies, which will become a proxy for Solar Auxilia, or something similar. Have a ton of Anvil Industry Medieval Sci-Fi helmets to pair up with them, and I think they'll work well together. Oh and one of each of the other sprue types as I want to check them out and see if I might like to use them for something later on.

Ultimately, I want to make miniatures that look like this for my IG allies, which will be paired with my Ad-Mech force.



Using washed and dried disposable wipes molded with diluted PVA glue for the coat, some greenstuff for the tubes and satchel air-filter, and I should be good. I am also using some 1/35 WWII tanks which I will convert to be Leman Russ, Rogal Dorn and Baneblade sized tanks, so they look different from all the other ones out there. This isn't likely to be used to play with, more just me having fun making models I can take pleasure in looking at.

Glad to know its finally on its way! Once they've sorted out all the bugs for missing sprues, I expect that these lines will do well sales wise. Ragged 'could be chaos/heretic, could just be scavenger IG' will sell well for a multitude of different systems.

My stuff arrived!

I did not have to interact with Customs at all, which is a first even for packages where everything is pre-paid. A+++ there.

Neatly packed, everything is there (8 kits + 35 free sprues, extra heavy backpacks in abundance...) and I mix/maxed the hell out of the sprue selector, going heavy on Cav and Heavy Weapons that come with ancillary sprues. And not a single piece broken, either.

Casting quality (sharpness, mold lines) ranges from okay to perfect, depending on unit.

Given the massive delays, I wish we'd had more time to alter our choices. But the stuff is all excellent. Currently I just wish that all the best melee/pistol arms weren't ghettoized to the Beastmen sprue and that we got the STLs for cut options asap.

Does anyone know when these are out for general release? I stupidly missed getting in on these..

as soon as the last KS backer has shipped, so hopefully by the end of the month, if not the next

first kits to go to retail will be the Mauler and the Army Box with the rest trickling out in the following months
