I don't recall an exact timeline for the medieval sets, but it's great to see this second kit a nice way into development already. Don't think I'll buy any until all/most kits are released for full kitbashing potential, but will certainly buy a bunch when they are!

Hadn't considered melee weapons for these, but they'd actually make nice bandits too with those (maybe some clubs alongside the axe).

Definitely in for that. More revolting peasants the better.

Weapons and heads would be great for kitbashing with Fireforge peasants.

If these are the Levy for the Barons War game I think the scale will be quite different. Fireforge are what I consider heroic scale whereas the plastics they are producing for the Barons War range have been scaled to fit the existing metals which are more realistically proportioned in comparison.

FF Northmen peasants are about half head taller than usual Frostgrave models (which I think are what Baron's ones size is), and I had no problems using Frostgrave arms on them. With FF Northmen soldiers it would be not possible as they are a head taller than Frostgrave ones.

Not seen the FF peasants in the flesh so I’m only guessing to be honest. If they do scale well then that will be great for kit bashing.

FF peasants are at least "AoS scale"

Found two size comparison, one showing GW new zombies and FF zombies, and other showing FF zombies and peasants together with Frostgrave wizard and old FF historical (their new historicals are same scale as fantasy).

I wonder if the Fireforge peasant arms will work with them? Or vice-versa, just so one has more improvised weapon peasants as opposed to (kinda) properly equipped levy troops.

EDIT: Should have finished reading the thread before posting. The FF & Frostgrave comparison is useful, thanks. Any currently available Baron's War minis in a comparison shot?

In a very short while a lot of folks will be receiving their Foot Knights and you'll be able to see some proper size comparisons. These were sculpted by our own Rob Macfarlane (who also did the Dark Age Irish, Conquistadors, German Sentries, SAS, BEF, Goths, and Romans) and they should be all fairly compatible.

We're now getting the Sergeants and Levy into file prep/layout so they should be along fairly soon.

Mounted Knights and Mounted Sergeants are going through some last design work.

Conquistador Cavalry is in file prep to see what will fit on the layout.

Sneakfeet, Werewolves, and two super secret sets are in tooling along with a few other things.

I heard from a reliable mole that the super secret sets are squirrels wearing spy clothes.

New plastic chariot preview https://wargameterrain.blogspot.com/2024/04/wargames-atlantic-new-plastic-chariots.html?spref=tw

Will it be possible to get just sprues with chariots? You know, if for some reason you don't want to put horses in front of them?

That was my thought too. I already have a box of FF peasants built, but these bits look excellent for adding to it.

Excellent news, glad to hear it!

Got my ship notice for my foot knights! W00t!

Btw, I don't remember: which sprue includes the free Les Grognards Command + heavy weapons on the Damned crowdfunding? Im considering changing to one for the aditional standards

I don't remember any of them including an Les Grogs command sprue, but i think it was available as one of your picks for the free sprues that were unlocked from the stretch goals (just checked and it is there to pick)

you should just be able to manage your pledge and switch one (or more) of the sprues you've currently chosen for the Les Grogs one

Yeah, I know. Was asking because that kit has two radically diferent sprues, and what you get may vary a lot depending on which one is the free adition refering to.

Not sure what you mean, Grognards have 3 sprues: Infantry, Command+Heavy, and Heads. Each can be chosen individually under the Damned free sprue options.

Yes, but what do you get with the Command+Heavy option? Im asking cos that kit actually has 2 diferent sprues, not 2 identical ones.

The kit has 3 Command+Heavy sprues and 2 Head sprues, so it's pretty clear which you get if you pick Command+Heavy and which you get if you pick Heads in your reward options.

Hello everyone.

We've had a busy beginning to the week over on Atlantic Digital.

https://www.myminifactory.com/tribes/WargamesAtlantic/posts/7_New_Tiers_New_Range_Added_More-39563

New tiers are now live, providing options for pledging towards what you want. We are Also increasing the number of sets released per month to 19, up from 11 (12 after the introduction of Age of Chivalry)

There is also a new Centurion tier which will get you all 19 file sets per month.



Also:

Heraldic shields have been released alongside further previews for May Tribes members.

https://www.myminifactory.com/tribes/WargamesAtlantic/posts/Heraldic_Shields_released_Lets_talk_previews-39601

Any updates on what the new release date of the 'Damned' will be?

Those shields look great. Cool to see Lannister, Targaryen and Martell sigilry.

Was gonna ask this. I think we can discard may at this point, there have been only 2 sprue reveals up to this points.

But again, no need to rush it.

Sneak peak seems to be sci-fi ninja, assuming everything is from the same kit. Possibly sci-fi samurai, sci-fi Okinawan street-gang, or whatever, of course.
I would quite like some sci-fi ninja, but I'm not a fan of what we see in the preview. Generic sci-fi panel lines are bland and should be avoided, especially on costume. Weapons look too primitive for the figure; I feel that ninja should adapt to the times, they aren't meant to be tradition-bound types. If it's actually a cyberpunky street-gang, then that's a bit different. Some cruder weapons would work well then.
I suspect that sci-fi ninja will sell best if they come with power-swords, arm-blades, crystal pistols, combination SMGs, claws, anti-materiel rifles, and skull masks as options.
