Any news on when the mounted Conquistadors are shipping? All I can find on the site still says it should have been released last week.

I haven't gotten any further emails and my order still says "unfulfilled". So no, nothing news-wise yet.

**Smokestack**

No word yet on the conquistador cav, or the halloween set. But...

From Facebook

Fresh off the press is the T1 for the Long Weapons frame for the Barons' War. This frame will appear in both the levy and serjeants boxes. A variety of sleeve types can be mixed and matched with the torsos for a huge amount of variety.
The serjeants frame will be out of tooling in a few days and then these two boxes will be with us soon! Mounted Serjeants and Knights are close on their heels!

**Smokestack**

No vampires... :( it was zombies...

BRAINS!

This may be the most versatile box of Zombies ever made! Rob has designed the bodies in nondescript rags so that they could represent nearly any type of clothing. And then we've added a stunning number of head types so that these can be used to represent zombie versions of any of the following:

Ancient Rome
Dark Ages
Viking/Norman Period
Renaissance
18th Century and Pirates
Napoleonic French and British
Cowboys
WW1 and WW2 British, Germans, and French
Modern Heads - Police, Fire, Construction, Civilians
And of course enough "regular" zombie heads for all
There will be extra arms that can be used with other historical bodies to zombify them too!
One caution - we have not taken this to layout yet. We believe we'll be able to get everything on the frame but there may have to be a cut or two. We'll let everyone know as the set progresses through file prep, layout, and tooling!

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included.

The Zombies set looks really good.Loads of options for heads too.
I can see people trying to get certain types of heads for the figure types they collect.
The YMCA set looks like it would be fun to make up too.

**Ancestral Hamster**

re: Zombies. I see they are trying for The Last War and The Silver Bayonet players. {Weird First World War and Napoleonic era respectively.} This is the type of kit I'd have liked earlier because it is so versatile, but between 1st ed Zombicide and Kings of War I've more zombies than I need. (It's Z-cide's doing. I only bought what I needed for KoW.} But it should be a great kit for anyone starting anything zombie. Unless doing a Romero flick, zombies should not be limited to whatever contemporary clothing is for the time period you are playing.
Some Greek and Roman heads would be welcome too. EDIT: Ah, they do have the Roman heads. Missed that on first look.

**skrulnik**

Love the tricorn heads!

The heads from one box will let you cover so many settings and kitbashes!

**lord_blackfang**

Not my first choice, but if the market absolutely must have a 7th hard plastic zombie kit, this is a good way to do it. Modern, Cowboy, Pirate, Napoleonic and WW1 all sound useful for me.

**Kid_Kyoto**

And here I am about to do 40 Mantic Zombies!

Nice add, I think the heads+rags will work well, and obviously if you're the sort of person who needs Roman/Nazi/Police/GI zombies you'll have tons of extra guns and swords and whatever to complete the effect.

I'd have thrown in some sci-fi heads in place of one of the Napoleonic sets but that's just me.

Still hoping we one day get Frankensteins and Draculas!

**Psychopomp**

Oh nice, the WA zombies look like they'll mix will with the Mantic zombies, adding a much-needed boost in variety.

**Kid_Kyoto**

I realize it's probably too late to give them notes but...

I'd like to see the really niche heads (cowboys, tricorns, Napoleonics) cut to just 3 per sprue and I'd like to see some sci fi heads (space solider helmets, cyborgs, alien facehuggers) and bio hazard suits (with broken glass visors). And the WWI doughboys need a gas mask or two!

Oh geez headcrab heads would be out of this world

**Smokestack**

The newsletter said the Renaissance and Conquistador cavalry ships next week.

**Racerguy180**

This damned waiting for the damned damned release is really making damned impatient...

**Hatemonger**

I don't quite understand this. The announcement makes it sound like the zombie set isn't finished yet, but there's already a video of Peachy building a box.

I do like the idea of the set, which is to say, one single set of zombies that could potentially be used in multiple games and periods. I agree that I think it would be better to drop some of the specific head types to 3 or 4 each in favor of including more variety. However the final layout goes, this also seems like fertile ground for some add-on sets in their STL store.

These heads from CP Minis are quite close if that helps?

This is an extremely good idea. I've already got more painted zombies than I could need for modern and sci-fi settings, but I would definitely consider this box if I needed some for a different setting.

**Smokestack**

Well, my conquistador cavalry has not shipped yet still. But saw this on Facebook.

**KidCthulhu**

Ooh, serjeants?

**GreenScorpion**

I have been noticing a lot of comments on the Gamefound page for The Damned about people wanting to request refunds, complaining about the parts that made it in to some sets or the lack of answers to some questions.
I think overall Wargames Atlantic will have to improve a bit on how they do time management and community management if they wish to do other crowdfunding campaigns like The Damned.

Complaints are always to be expected, especially when kits shown are concepts rather than finalized work, but I think they could have avoided a few issues with a bit of investment on time spent going through the comments at least every few days.

Lets see how it goes when they start to ship the boxes once everything is in place.

**lord_blackfang**

They handled people being underwhelmed by the original vehicle design pretty well, I think.

The "We split one kit into one and a half sprues and we're not even telling you if the half sized sprue will count as a full sprue towards your sprue allowance" thing, not so much.

**Banelord300**

The splitting up of the spruce was definitely a backwards going decision hopefully its cleared up when the pledge manager is finalized.

**Smokestack**

The Friday newsletter teased Valkir melee plastics coming and also said Shadowkesh and more Valkir were coming... It also said the Conquistador and Renaissance cavalry are shipping though mine are still unfulfilled. It also mentioned "Reptilian Overlords" fantasy... Between Baron's war and Guards of Traitor's toll and now RO fantasy I may have to choose which I am drawing the line at.

Those Sergeants look good though. I will have to get a box.

**Perfect Organism**

Have there been any hints of the Eisenkern command set with the baggage robots getting remade?
Also, can anyone explain what the deal with the Shadokesh was? I've only been able to find one image, and it isn't clear to me if they are meant to be a race of naked (presumably non-technological) monsters, or whether this is just one unit from a larger range.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

the Shadokesh were intelligent advanced aliens, but some also existed as devolved animal like feral shadokesh

(some background is here https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0284/7086/files/Shadokesh_Race_1.4.pdf?7720163693450984440)

They never made it to plastic production from what i can recal

I do hope that they do the Shadokesh faction.Sounds interesting and the different vehicle types they have too.

Oha... I thought those were models without heads and there're several options...

Those seemingly being new variations of their not-Mordheim Mercenaries and Militias STL set. With this and the Guards of Traitor's Toll Stuff, WGA gonna have a lot of Mordheim adjacent material.
