Well they've done their bit, now we need to do ours

(if you can't see the sprue selector on your pledge click the red cross in a circle on the right to remove your old selection, and add it again, you'll then see the sprue selector below, and will be able to split it, click the icon, and individually specify each sprue)

Doesn't removing your selection like that cancel your early-bird bonus?

no as long as you don't cancel you pledge you're ok,

that's how i did it and i'm still backer 71

Can confirm the Orlando method works, I just clicked the red button, then edited to change the free sprues (wanted to add more infantry, the death fields upgrade and some canon fodder) and I'm still backer number 350.

This is all very nice, btw

Okay, now it's good. The free sprues in the 15 box deal come to another 5 boxes worth, I think.

Not super sure how to calculate an EU pledge now... I suppose if I wanted the 15 box pledge, which costs about 520$ with VAT, I would pledge around 430$ with a lesser pledge selected and I would have 520$ credit in the pledge manager and switch up?

Hi Blackfang - not quite how it works. You won't be bumped to a new pledge level with the extras added on later. If you want the freebies in a pledge level you'll have to go in on that level. You'll just end up getting more. So if you want the 15 box you'll need to pledge for it and then once the campaign ends you'll be able to tack on 3 more boxes on top.

I really appreciate the effort WGA are pouring into the campaign. I hope we can unlock the doggos soon, then I have to increase my pledge again

Ok. Upgraded to 15 box deal..

Other stretch goals after $300,000.

If I win the design your own set... I am thinking female swashbucklers with rapiers and pistols. Or the Female Zombie ECW cavalry that the guy on Facebook keeps asking for.

Sci-Fi Terrain sprue and another vehicle sounds good to me and a free vehicle.

Hounds reached. Woot!

Yep good to see the re-jigged goals have got things moving again.

making the sprues pick a mix really ups the value. It's basically a 50% bump in the amount of plastic.

Runing the numbers, the ten box with free sprues is basically a very complete guard army.

1 box + 2 sprues of riders = 15 Rough Riders
1 box + 1 sprue of brutes = 12 Ogryn/bullgryn
2 boxes Heavies = 3 heavy weapon squads plus three teams
2 boxes + 1 Sprue command = 3 commands squads and a bunch of characters
2 boxes Artillery = 3 Artillery squads
2 boxes + 12 sprues = ~150 infantry

This obviously leaves out vehicles, but $300 for basically all of the infantry/cavalry you'd want is getting pretty fun.

Thanks everyone! We're glad you are liking the new rewards and stretch goals. Now that Hounds are unlocked we have two more free sprues to go through before we hit the Damned Females set which will also feature a 6-figure frame with 4 in the box for 24 troops. Artillery after that at $230K. At $260K we have a vote to decide from the following: Heavy Infantry, Mutations Sprue, or the Gene-Edited Warriors. And the runner up gets unlocked at $280K.

Please help get the word out so we can get more sets funded. We'd love to put out a proper army in one go. Thanks again.

Oh those are so cute

You might be able to min/max those selections more by shifting to more boxes for Infantry and more single sprues for the other kits, as I believe currently an Infantry box is 4 sprues and the other boxes are 3 sprues.

We'll see if WGA patches this glitch

If you're going to go beastman, I'd have some beastman heads without the gas masks as well. Same thing applies if those are horned mutant human heads rather than beastmen heads. Simple gas masks over and over get a little boring.

Wow,
The pick-your-sprues for the freebies is pretty great. It seems to aproximately give you a free set starting at the $99 pledge level.

Nice to see the value getting better and better as the campaign progresses.

I wonder how the Damned bodies would look with the Bulldogs helmets and Gasmasks... I didnt like the Bulldogs bodies from what people showed of them... but I do like the Damned bodies... and that Bulldog head would work for both male and female damned bodies... Hmmmm

I think it would look great. The classic Brodie-style helmet would look great as-is (maybe with a few chips addded) with the rounded style of the Damned armor.

You could even use the un-masked Brodie-style if you wanted to turn them into a slightly-less-Damned Feudal or deathworld guard unit.

Another head option worth considering might be the Raumjager fully enclosed helmet with mask. Especially if you want to do a more elite unit within your Damned army.

Any chance we could get ranked voting for those? I really want to see both the heavy infantry and mutations.

You must not have been paying attention to our previous releases. You want extra heads? Oh, you're going to get a LOT of heads. And not just these without gasmasks. There are other beast types in there as well.

Re: mixing and matching boxes/sprues - that's not a glitch it's a FEATURE.

Hmmm. Those do look good. May have to try those too. Loving the free frames so it makes all that possible.

WA is doing a spetial update! If they reach 800 likes/RTs/shares on this facebook page, they'll unlock the female damned earlier. More details on the link:

Guilty as charged.

Other beastman head types? Sounds good. I look forward to seeing them.

Bulldogs came with , i wanna say 6 different heads?

Just out of interest, what has happen to the 'regular' release of hard plastic kits? I see the Release Schedule page on WA is out of date and there no updates on the immediate releases (eg WW1 and WW2) let alone anything in the pipeline. The focus has switched to the Damned for May 2024 (BTW they look great and I certainly have put my pledge in).

I believe one of the emails or a reply on social media indicated that there would be a slight pause and reset until the 0200 sets had arrived at retail in all markets.

This was before the The Damned project started though.

They pulled the entire schedule of upcoming releases and in process kits and put everything on Vox Populi. It was supposed to see if there was any kit that they should fast track. But I don't think there was a kit that had that much support. Then the Damned campaign was announced, so I'm hoping after the campaign, WGA will bring the In Process Schedule back.
