Plague doctor masks.

Just adding info regarding # of 25mm bases per sprue (adding to Smokestack’s post). Perhaps this could be added to the first post?

• Damned Infantry - 6 to a sprue so 4 sprues to a box.
• Damned Brutes - 3 to a sprue so 3 sprues to a box.
• Damned Weapons teams - 4 crew to a sprue so 3 sprues to a box.
• Damned Command - 6 to a sprue so 2 sprues to a box.
• Damned outriders - 3 to a sprue so 3 sprues to a box.
• Damned Hounds - 2 handlers and 4 hounds to a sprue so 3 sprues to a box.

• Raumjager Infantry - 4 bodies to a sprue
• Les Grognards Infantry - 3 bodies to a sprue
• Les Grognards Heads - 24 heads to a sprue
• Les Grognards Command and Heavy support - 2 weapons and 4 bodies per sprue (I think)
• Einherjar - 3 bodies to a sprue
• Cannon Fodder 2 Females - 5 bodies to a sprue
• Bulldogs - 6 bodies to a sprue
• Ooh Rah - 6 bodies to a sprue
• Harvester Alien Bugs - 4 big bugs and 2 small bugs to a sprue

I’d like them if they are worn with helmets rather than hoods or top hats. Especially if they are for the more heavily armored troops. And if there are plenty of other face options.

Seems like the crowdfunding is paralyising again, just with 32.500 from the artillery. So damn close...

I am late to the groin armour party but for me the only groin armour that looks cool is a kind of hinged, solid-looking armour piece that hangs down from the torso armour. The diaper look, though perhaps 'realistic' if you were doing 2023 soldiers, doesn't look good.

Along with plague doctor masks, a couple of metal terror / demonic masks and / or half masks (Chaos version of menpo without the Japanese stylings,) with tusks / fangs, etc. would be cool.

I feel like this would really Kickstart the campaign considering how often it has been requested. Oh and 99 more backers till another sprue.

I just had a thought, I have seen several a few comments about the lower model count in the command box, would it make sense for that to be the box with the mutations sprue?

It hit $190k last night

From the latest update:
preview of the heads that could be part of The Damned Heavy Infantry set

The heads with the chaos star mouthpieces remind me of Maggie Simpson and her binkie. *sooka-sooka*

Absolutely love those heads.

Shut up and take my money

I thought I would show my Harvesters as 6 legged versions, rather then the 'factory' 4 legs. Ignore the paint job, but I think the 6 legs look more 'biologically balanced'. I was able to assemble them from the one Sprue it just meant that I had to give two of them 'missile' arms. Anyway, I played with nature and I think it works!

6 legs version looks way better than 4 legs one. Great job!

6 legs all the way. What a difference.

I hope we can get a head that combines the mask and the goggles. And I hope they reduce the size of the gas knob slightly on these, they just looks like a giant pacifiers.

Praise be to Tzeentch. I always thought the Harvesters kit would be ripe for kitbashing, but it's nice to know you can get good results just by adding more legs from the original sprue.

I think it was George Orwell who wrote, 4 legs good, 6 legs better!

Would the torsos make good Chaos Spawn?

And it’s workable with just a single sprue

Agreed. And I'd still like a few heads combining the helmet with a plague doctor mask.

EDIT: Actually, if they just use the respirator mask instead of the pacifier, that would be fine. Voted for Heavy infantry, but tempted by the gene-edited. Would like some for my Stargrave kit-bashing.

You get to vote on the $250K stretch goal!
Things are heating up as we enter our last week and we're anticipating some fast and furious pledges coming in - which should unlock first the artillery and then the $250K stretch goal!

As promised we're giving you the choice to vote on one of three sets:

Mutation Sprue
The Damned Heavy Infantry
The Damned Gene-Edited Warriors

We've set up a poll on our site with the choices - so head over there and vote! Whichever one wins will be the $250K stretch and whichever one comes in second will be the $270K stretch goal!

Votehere: https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/vote-for-the-250k-stretch-goal

I voted for the Heavy infantry

Yeah had to go with the Heavy Infantry but the Gene-Edited Warriors are a close second for me.

I voted heavy infantry, as I've been asking for those grotesque masks since day 1, but I really like the mutations as well.

Voted mutations. Very useful for many games and minis.

Let’s go gene-edited warriors…beastmen!

Heavy infantry for me (with mutants a close second and gene edited beastmen a hair behind)

really i'll be delighted with any of them (and even more delighted if a few beastmen heads get added on to the mutations sprue if the full kit misses the cut)

I do like the beastmen... They are also my second choice... but are really close to the Heavy Infantry in my preference priority. Having 1 catfolk on a sprue means 3 or 4 to a box though... So unless you get many boxes wont have a full unit of cat guys... Which is why the heavy infantry inched ahead for me.
