What's the current number of free sprues unlocked per pledge?

It will tell you if you click to add any pledge to cart. Sometimes the system is 1 free sprue behind as they have to increase the number manually with every stretch goal..

Ah I see! Thank you.

With the beast men unlocked, I'm thinking about going in for 3 boxes. The thing is, when you pledge, they want you to choose all of your selections for free sprues. And I'm thinking I might devote a box to the vehicle if it becomes available, which means I'd need to change up my sprue choices so I don't miss out on the heavy infantry.

Can you do that after this is over? Or are your box / free sprue choices fixed after you submit your pledge?

You can fiddle in the pledge manager

while you can't just do the $1 thing, i don't see why you can't back for an add on and the bases are only $15

Thanks. I'm in for 3 boxes now. Hope to see the vehicle unlocked by the end.

Vroom, vroom with 5 mins to go

Wow, truck unlocked with 5 min to go

omg. I'm going to be so swamped.

Good show

I finished on 5+3 box pledges, should be more than I can ever paint, RIP 15 box pledgers.

Epic finish... that was a nail biter at the end...

15? I'm in for 23. I planned out a Sons of Sekh and a blood pact army
Will be a lot to paint and I'm so hyped!

Once you take a deep breath from the Damned campaign, here's some unrelated WGA news from the comments:

On Einherjahr (not-Squats)

And command and heavy support is coming up!

and

just a regular release. All the Death Fields factions are getting command and heavy weapons sets over the next year or so

Everything that was unlocked...

Thought I was safe from this campaign, but then they had to go and unlock the beast men. And I do have ambitions of putting together a band of Chaos space marines, and they could use some cannon fodder cultist backup, so I got sucked in. Considering what it would have cost me to cherry pick all the sprues I wanted (+ shipping,) 3 boxes + seven free sprues (or whatever it was by the end) wasn't too much of a stretch. I probably won't be able to use it all, but it's good trading fodder.

Because really, who doesn't need some Renegade militia in their life?

I would have liked to see mutations and things like power armor, both of which I think WG would be wise to do anyway at some point. But I definitely wasn't expecting new hard plastic space beast men, so I tip my hat to WG all the same.

Not quite, the Mutations were pulled. I was really hoping for them so I wouldn't need to buy the Cursed Cultists for CSM.

Very impressive! Looking forward to picking up various sprues once these release since our group pretty much only plays skirmish now.

With this horizon conquered, 2023 holds only one more worthwhile challenge for wga:

QUAR!

Very happy everything funded, though I'm not sold on the vehicle tbh.

I put in for 5 boxes, but if we can add more in the pledge manager I'll probably do so. Now my only decision is what all the extra sprues should be for.

Is it possible to back without a reward and then upgrade to actual boxes during the pledge manager period? Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find a relevant answer. Cheers!

no you have to choose something

Welp, guess they get $1 and no more, then.

Agree, I like the concept of the vehicle, but I am not really sold on it for myself.
I'm also in for 5. I am thinking 3 boxes of the Damned Female Infantry, 2 boxes of the Heavies, then 4 more sprues of the heavies to make it 3 boxes worth, 3 sprues of Female Cannon Fodder, and then probably the rest in splits between the female/heavies, and probably the weapons teams. I really don't know at this stage, I need to consider what I am looking to make for a force. I've got something like 17 extra sprues so I have a lot of room to maneuver at the moment.

How to people find Field Ordinance in the game? I've heard it's pretty lackluster, and I have no idea if it's worth getting for this. Male Damned, Horses and Hounds are likely out, and I'd need probably 2 sprues of the command max if I need any of them. I'd rather bulk up on the female sets and convert them over to weapons teams to be honest.

What do other folks have planned? I might need some ideas on force composition.

Oooh, i didn't expect the vehicle to be finally funded! I would have added it to my pledge, alltho i could swear it was at the 300k stretch goal?

I really hope I'm home to take delivery of this pledge when it arrives.

Inspired by my wife, even my daughter asks "What have you been buying now" when a box turns up.

Heck, even 50 sprues by themselves can put the postie's back out!

I went for the 5 box +2, super happy with amount of stuff vs price paid entire chaos guard for 30k/40k in one go!

I hope that WGA will do Mutation sprue sonner than later

They said they will accept late pledges once the pledge manager opens, if you’re interested.

It got moved to $290k sometime during the campaign to help drive interest.

I did the 15 box... which I think is 58 free sprues...

I hope the mutation sprue is made for those who wanted them... I probably wouldn't have gotten any of them, but hopefully those that do want them will get to be able to get them.

I am not sure now what my choices will be... if the vehicle can be chosen as one of the box choices then I may try and add a 3 box deal of all transports when the pledge manager opens. I am wondering though if the vehicle can be selected though since the listed price is higher than the other boxes... and the wording of the goal "can be selected as an add-on" makes it sound like maybe it cant?

I need to stop buying stuff though... I went all in on the newest Zombicide and am getting a big army from Fireforge's samurai and another from Shieldwolf's Araves... so this will likely be my last "big" purchase... I wasnt planning on going big on this one... but the deal was way too good to pass up... with the Free sprues the 15 box is more like 30+ boxes...

Edit: And the flex pay thing was really the enabler for me... being able to break up the payment over 3 months gaming budget was... yeah I couldnt resist that.

New SP

Well there's the usual 180 on that question that most first time crowdfunders make as soon as the timer runs out

I ended up doing the 3 box deal. Though I may rearrange which 3 since I didn't expect the vehicle to be available.

I saw this in the comments:

Hey, yes, as the vehicle was unlocked at the last minute of the campaign I appreciate most people won’t have had the chance to add this to their pledges or even add additional boxes in order to include it with their pledges. Once the pledge manager open in a couple of weeks time you will be able to purchase the vehicle as an add on or add it to your rewards.

That kind of sounds like you can select it as part of your pledge, right?
