Well I found out today that my mortgage is still fubar, so I'm going to have to wait till the end to see if I can pledge.

Well. Free shipping over $50. So i am back to “excited”

So, it seems that, as I stated here, shipping is free!

i dunno why it took them so long to confirm it, tho.

Also, there's finally photos for the artillery (it's 3 pieces), and the medic from the command squad.

My last excuse for maybe not backing just disappeared. Good News.


Also, these possibilities from the stretch goals caught my eye...

A sprue of sci-fi terrain for your battlefield

Alternate mounts for the Outriders

The Damned Scout Snipers

The Damned Gene-edited Hybrids (Are we seeing genestealer cult options here????)

Maybe even another sci-fi vehicle (it’s ready for tooling)

Would be fun to finally have miniatures for chaos ratlings, lmao

Hound handlers from the newsletter.

Glad of the included shipping over $50 makes it a lot more appealing.

Free shipping makes me happy

https://gamefound.com/projects/mwg--wargames-atlantic/the-damned#/

make sure you follow the gamefound preview, the newsletter says if it hits 3000 (at about 1700 now) followers by launch those who do get a free Brute sprue as well as the free infantry one

so bully your friends into following too if they might even slightly be tempted

Newsletter says launch is set for Tuesday May 30th at 10AM Eastern/3PM GMT time!

Agreed. 100%

An excellent addition. They'd be great as CC troops even without the hounds. The size of the prods indicate that the hounds might prove to be quite impressive!

First look at the Female troopers is great also. Just as BA as the dudes.

I'd like them to add women bodies to the infantry sprue.

They don't really need separate arms and it would make the set distinct

Female infantry was asked here, and they actually heard us and added them to the future stretch goals!

I think I prefer them as a separate kit for infantry option, gives more kitbashing freedom.

I could see it both ways but for an army like this where you're likely to have a ton of bodies and likely only one type of sprue per box, having more pose variety via 2 sets seems like a good thing. I was assembling some Warlord British last week and repeating hunchy poses were beginning to annoy me.

Hopefully they will take advantage of having two sets to have more unique parts on each sprue for cross-set customization.

This is shaping into quite an impressive campaign.

In amongst the anticipation for The Damned, Only Games have a new printed set available.

Battle Frogs?

The background.

The N’Glonhgk (which means “people” in their native tongue like most races) are divided into hundreds of small nation states on their watery home world. Once united under a global government the system broke down through greed and the manipulation of the rich and powerful. Now shifting alliances and near constant competition for resources has created a state of perpetual war on their planet. Unbeknownst to the N’Glonhgk, this slide into chaos has also caused them to lose their sponsorship for first contact with the galactic government.


With little hope of entry the planet has been opened to Death Fields league agents and the first team has been established recently on the circuit. Called simply The N’Glonhgk, this new team sports armored carapace armor and the latest armaments of their home world. They have yet to make a name for themselves but have posted up some initial wins and are attracting fans. They are a team to watch.

This multi-part set includes options to equip the five unique bodies with standard rifles, rifle with underslung GL, squad support weapons, and pistols

Too bad Battle Toads is probably still under copyright, otherwise they look good

Having 'generic sci-fi' toad-men seems like a missed opportunity to grab the retro 40k crowd with raygun-gothic not-slann.

Man! Wish those frogs were coming out in hard plastic.

They certainly could, if the community wants it. We accept new suggestions for vox Populi and reserve the right to add sets to the system.

If you want them in plastic, campaign to make it so. Bring it up here and on our legion Facebook group. Make a poll. Talk about further weapon options, etc.

Hopefully they are not too big as I want them to double in fantasy as scary doggos byt not giant ones.

Gutted. I went to the web page to try and order some, to realise they're a digital release. Damn Apologies to whoever put them in this PHYSICAL release thread.
Ah well, I can only hope they eventually come out in plastic/resin/metal/restic/cake/clay, something real at least.

The only issue I had with the models was, the one that looked like it had been shot in the back. Is that what the pose was?

Did you go to the MMF webpage, where the STL set is sold, or the only games storefront that houses our physical releases of Atlantic digital products?

Here's a link to the only games page:

In other news, we have crested 2000 followers for The Damned campaign on gamefound. Once again, if we make it to 3000 before launch everyone who pledges gets 3 free Damned Brutes.

Please help us spread the word and make this possible.

Readers and Wargames Atlantic, should I tinker with the title on this thread to make it only for hard plastic releases and the digital thread to include prints?

Or is this getting too complicated?

Should I close both and let WGA start a new thread(s) and divy them up however they want?

(After long deliberations, being formerly a proponent of separate threads.) This. HIPS infos are rare enough (except current Damned campaign) that there is no need for 2 separate threads.

My link was to the page where a customer receives a PHYSICAL product from Only Games, not a digital file.

i preferred a single thread but there was enough grumbling about digital stuff that now we've got a separate thread we might as well keep both

(and as alpheacho said the link was to a physical product)

Sorry. I went to it and saw the Wargames Atlantic Digital logo, scrolled to look for material type and couldn't see any and assumed it was an stl.

Anyway, thanks for repointing the link out. Purchased myself an initial pack. Thanks.

Excellent advice. I’m going to be grounded in my hopes though. WGA has many projects on the bench including the Damned crowdfunding thing and the Quar project that I am hoping releases this year.

It’s true that there could be a groundswell of support and vox votes for plastic frogs but I am content to chew on what is already in the works

I think as long as links here are to physical products you buy I think it is fine.

The link to the frogs was for a physical product you pay and receive irl.

Have you performed an 'undamning' on me?

I don't post the digital links, only the items from Only Games. I'll be ordering those toads myself.

Apologies.
