Yay on more head options.

We've posted on the Wargames Atlantic Legion facebook group asking for suggestions for additional heads to be included with the standard infantry for "The Damned".

If you have a head type you would like to see, please head on over to the legion facebook group and share your ideas.

Generic helmeted no spikes/evil faces and the same but slightly feudal world looking helmets would make them versatile as both scrap world troops and feudal levy troops.

Here’s the latest

Are you planning for extra options to be added using Tribes content? because being a Tribes member since day 1, I'd be all for that too ^^, maybe even with some extra body poses, logistics stuff and the like.

The Cannon Fodder civilian/ mechanic parts are a good example.

Yes indeed, something along those lines.

Looks like an ~80mm base in the latest newsletter

Another random idea, inspired by Blackfang's mention of Oni masks - a really cool bit would be a ballistic mask that can glue on top of open faces. I think that's a really underrated bit on some other kits, would let us borings hide the scarred/mutiliated faces, and ballistic masks are actually spooky enough that they wouldn't look out of place in a Chaos army especially with a few haphazard streaks of red paint etc. etc.

I'd recommend full heads over masks that add to existing heads. The additional plastic and sprue space is minimal and the work saved is very important.

One thing missing from the list is heavy infantry, with thicker armor and better guns.

If Hounds are not literal hounds maybe they fill this niche?

But like I said no one else got a cool name, but a literal and descriptive one so I doubt it.

So add elite heavy infantry to the wish list.

Yea another vote for Grenadiers/Kasrkin/Tempestus equivalents, but honestly that might be the Command kit, it's not like it's gonna be a box of 24 lieutenants.

Latest SP

Honestly that looks bigger than what you'd need for GW sized weapon teams. Looks Arachnarok base sized.

What if hounds were a plastic warhound equivalent . I'd settle for a warhound/sentinel type model (Looks like a warhound, but is a sentinel size/stat wise).

For those of us without the space, funds, ability, etc. for a 3d printer I hope not (at least not all of them)

I don't think that any possible 3d printed option will detract from whatever's on the sprues. At a certain point nothing else will fit on them, after all.

There are places you can order the parts printed for you. To hope they don't have options and limit the range because you can't or don't want to print them is a bit selfish. If it's parts available to print and you can save up for pieces to customize your army it's better than not having that option available or having to pay someone to sculpt and make you the parts individually.

To clarify, I'm reading Albertorius's post them wanting everything after the base sprue to go to digital only.

I would rather they put as much as possible on the sprue. I won't likely back the campaign if it's minimal plastic bits with the large majority being STLs.

Let me hope there are lots of options for those of us without 3d printers. There is already WGA digital and I'm sure you will be catered to as well.

Sprue is sprue, they have a set machine size and you can be sure they will fill it, it's not like they will tool a sprue with empty spaces in it if they miss funding by X dollars. I only hope they won't present fake nonsensical stretch goals of "unlocking" extra bits on a sprue like so many do.

No Facebook, but I'll just restate, that a standard military head option that doesn't look "evil" would be a great idea.

Then you're reading it wrong. I don't need stuff to be "digital only". Just "digital", or "digital too". If any option done as 3d print is popular enough to be made sprues... why the hell not?

And if a specific gun (or whatever) that's only one a sprue gets in a digital set and I can print myself a hundred instead of needing a hundred extra sprues just for that? That's also good.

The sprues will fit what they will, and they won't be leaving bare spaces or anything. Not wanting to get more stuff that, if popular enough, will maybe get more sprues made, feels weird to me.

[Glad the quote caught you clarifications, as it wasn't there when I hit respond]

It's been my experience, that if something is digital, then it never hits physical, that is what I don't want to see. If there is one "Assault cannon" on the sprue and the rest digital, I can live with that.

I don't want something, say "plasma guns" to only have digital options. Its just I have never had good experiences with 3d prints and don't want options to be digital only. Just give me at least one in plastic.

And yet a "demo" version of not-renegade guard was posted to Atlantic Digital 6 months ago!

Hey, I will be happy if things (like this) change.

Looks like we're gonna have these preview articles every few days (perhaps next is on sunday?)

Now is the turn of the Brutes!
https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/up-close-the-damned-brutes

I love the pipe with the lugnut. Nice and unsubtle.

I wonder if they bother to have the ogre take the helmet off when they go to weld the spikes onto it

Not at this time. The game-found crowdfunder will be specifically for hard plastics.

Brute weapons look good. Love the bunch of grenades lashed to a stick.

Heads are underwhelming. Bit too 'comedy' for the theme, in my opinion. Could have done with sharper and more scarred features, forge-world ogryn style hoods, or fully enclosed helmets, I think. At least the pipes look a bit less oversized now that I realise they aren't quite as big as the initial preview made them look. They will be rather dwarfed by GW ogryns, I think.

While the crowdfunding campaign is specifically geared towards hard plastics, We'd like to note that you can take our files to a 3d printing service local to you, ask them for a custom print quote, and get our digital items printed that way, if you do not wish to wait for them to go up on only-games.

To re-clarify, the crowdfunding campaign will be hard plastic options, with no digital content planned at this time. At least, as far as the responding team member is aware. HQ can obviously change that, but they have not said so.

As such, again, the crowd funder is for hard plastic sprues/frames/boxed sets.

Question here: will the crowdfunding contemplate shipping to the EU?
