If WGA also makes their not chaos marines in plastic at some point, that would be really.

They said they were in partnership with miniwargaming. What do they do?

I don't know if this is the correct MiniWarGaming, but they have on Gamefound this project, Ravaged Star: Armies of the Veil-Touched. They also do Youtube videos, and I found a completed Indiegogo campaign that upgraded their studio and equipment.

Since the Veil-touched are reminiscent of Chaos Marines with some demon retainers, I suppose MiniWarGaming could partner with WGA to make Veil-tainted human troopers. MWG doing the design, and WGA producing the final product.

MWG doesn't have designers, though. For the Veil touched they partnered with a designer, basically they did the commercials for the designer.

Cult of Paint - Sneak peak of a fantastic new project we're working on for Wargames Atlantic and @miniwargaming. Lots more to follow! #TheDammed #cultist #wargaming #postapocalypse #scifi #miniaturepaintning

I hope this isn't a limited run because as soon as I financial recover from this month's bills, I want that.

These are still multi part kits, correct?

Correct.

I'm mildly curious to see how partnering with another company will affect the price per standard human figure. It's not at all unaffordable, but they hit $2 each with Space Nam.

I assume the partner's desire for figure options (affecting how many will fit in a box), profit sharing and desire not to completely undercut the price of their existing lines could all figure into it.

The space nam price was not up to Wargames Atlantic. That was a reptilian overlords decision, as it is their kit. Wargames Atlantic manufacturers it.

Interesting, in light of...

a secret project in partnership with a well-known tabletop gaming content brand.

... Are we to assume the kit design, contents and price are primarily in WGA hands?

As far as the team member responding to this message is aware, the new kits are 100% Wargames Atlantic.

That looks fantastic. I don't have use for another IG Army, but I should at minimum be in for a set of rough riders, something my gas masked IG Army is sorely lacking.

Very excited.

**Garrac**

Not gonna lie, i have a window open, and im constantly refreshing. Looking forward

**KipCujo**

Models are looking great! I think its underrated that the "ragged" details are just plentiful enough to look ragtag, but sparse enough to not be a nightmare to fill with putty to maybe go for a more regimented look too.

**legionaires**

Do we have a time frame for the announcement?

**Garrac**

Well, seems like the crowdfunding may be released on USA horary, so it's highly possible it comes late on the night for us europeans, so we'll wake up with the news.

When I saw this I knew my involvement was bound to manifest.

Whether it was with @wargamesatlantic proper or not the universe would materialize one way or another lol.

It happens to be made by them. In either case I’d be curious to have it painted by @cultofpaint. I enjoy their grimdark styles.
This is bc my buddy Gaz told me they were being painted by them. And he literally just “don’t blame me for this!”
This is where I replied “just try and control the CHAOS!!!!!” To which he said “🙄” and then came the instant rush of warm fuzzies + dopamine.
My daily mission objectives were achieved: find a new way to generate that delicious life energy.

We @miniwargaming are teaming up with @wargamesatlantic on a project that’s near and dear to my chaotic heart! Lol.

Dudes take a look at these minis!? Spill your thoughts. Do you want to see more?

Personally I would have gone for something more coherent for the initial announcement, but that's just me.

Yeah - and I would have included a link to the Game Found page, even if it's not active yet.

**privateer4hire**

That’s the announcement? Or just a lead in to one with more info later today?

**ScarletRose**

Yeah, I was hoping for a little more than "we're announcing that we're going to announce that we'll have an announcement".

Like there's enthusiasm for the product just let us know when the crowdfunding will actually be.

That's all there is so far:

I thought that was a “reaction video” transcript or something.

Also, delicious life energy? I’m just pledging money, dude.

This.

Please don't gw hype machine, you have not the inertia for that to work.

Show us what we get/maybee get if funded or don't show anything.

**Gallahad**

Hype train just derailed. Zoning back out.

**Psychopomp**

Good grief. Don't go to the trouble of making an announcement date graphic if it's not even going to warrant a news entry on your homepage.

The last thing any kickstarter or other funding campaign needs is 'in-character' incoherent ramblings - there's a time and place for that, and a public-facing posting where you want to convey as much information as possible in as unambiguous a way you can manage is neither. It looks unprofessional right out the door, and makes many people's eyes glaze over and lose all interest immediately. Just... don't. You can do such stuff at your leisure later on, on your website but in your forum, but your prime contact surface with an interested public should be held to higher standards. It's grating when large companies or established authors do it, and can outright kill small enterprises. Getting mumbo-jumbo and gibbering instead of straight info is a huge turn-off.

**privateer4hire**

Meanwhile at their HQ someone is doubtless about to release a concise, meat and potatoes statement:

Who’s involved and their roles (mwg and wga)
When the thing is kicking off exactly, date/time
Where the site link is for the Game Found campaign and a rough idea where the product can be shipped
What products are being produced (even saying cavalry, hq, ogres, etc) gives us an idea

Basic stuff

Then be ready to answer why not KS
Post photos even if it’s renders
Rough timelines for product to release
What bonus rewards might be achieved
And so on

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Aww disappointed

trailers for trailers suck

**BobtheInquisitor**

They’re giving us an extra pay period’s notice, though. So there’s that.

Army of The Damned

Coming to Game Found May 26th we are excited to announce our first crowdfunding campaign in partnership with the fine folks at MiniWargaming!

This campaign will be focused on releasing 8 full hard plastic sets for the newest Death Fields' faction: The Damned! (their backstory can be found at the bottom of the page).

These 8 sets will let you build a full army of The Damned and includes plastic sets for:

Infantry
Command
Brutes
Outriders
Heavy Support Teams
Hounds
Artillery
Tank (yes our first hard plastic vehicle!)

MiniWargaming will be previewing all the sets and setting the stage over the next few weeks as we prepare to launch. We'll have more painted models, videos, and lots to see and talk about as the campaign progresses!

If successful, this campaign will allow us to do something we've never done before: release an entire ARMY in one shot! And once we've fulfilled all the backer pledges all 8 sets will be available as part of our regular catalog and at retailers worldwide.

Retailers: we will have full retail level pledges in the campaign as well.

Spoiler:

**ScarletRose**

Now that's what we want to hear!

Tanks will be interesting, I'm wondering if this will be more of a light scout tank or a mainline battle tank?

And I'm very curious about hounds -are they a literal dog and handler unit or is this some name for scouts or light infantry?

Outstanding! Excellent announcement with lots of information. Really looking forward to getting models from these kits.

**mithril2098**

i would guess a lighter tank to be honest. while they've experimented with multi-sprue layouts before (cannon fodder I for example), they tend to stick to "one sprue builts complete figures"

so i'd guess a small tank or tankette, something that can be fit one to a sprue. but i'd guess that it'll have some weapons options (basically weapon barrel options, possibly some add-on bits.)

one of the more popular suggestions by fans on their forums is something in the vein of the Renault FT-17/M1917/Fiat 3000/T-18.. a small two man tankette with a turret, basically. which would fit the WW1ish theme of the wider army so i'd be surprised if they pick something else.

**Racerguy180**

Rapier analog???

probably more like a Sentinel alternative or maybe a Salamander Scout vehicle alternative, if it is big enough.

**Racerguy180**

A 40k ferret would be kinda cool

**lord_blackfang**

I expect this to be a big hit in the HH crowd, I just hope the crowd is big enough

Not super fussed about the tank since Archon already makes a fine HIPS not-Chimera/Russ

**Ragsta**

The images look very promising. Spikes easily scraped off if necessary

I still can’t work out what their partner actually does.
