To confirm, we will be adding a crew frame to every free sprue selection of The Damned Artillery Sprue and The Damned Weapons Team Sprue.

Alright alright alright.

Really like the Mounted Renn guys. Here is my first pistolier

Marvelous! I take full credit for the dual wield option

Perhaps I missed it, but it's been a while since the campaign closed. When are we supposed to have our sprue choices finalized for the crowdfunding? I pledged and picked some boxes, but I can't remember if I picked free sprues or not?

Are our box choices locked in too?

No, they're still moving things around so you should wait.

When it's time to lock in, easiest way to get everything you're entitled to is to add another copy of your pledge level as this will have all the freebie selectors updated to the latest version, then you delete your original pledge level.

Thanks!

Another Damned update from Charlie tonight


Before I get to the juicy stuff I wanted to confirm that we will be adding one free Crew sprue with every free sprue selection of the Artillery sprue and Weapons Team sprue. So that means if you select an Artillery sprue as one of your free sprues you will receive one Artillery sprue and one Crew sprue. The same goes for the Outriders where you will receive a sprue of horses for each Outrider sprue you select

Next up will be the Brutes followed by the Beasts & Handlers then the Beastmen. Finally we will hit the Mauler which is likely to be a minimum of two frames. Possibly even three!

I will soon have a schedule of release for The Damned in retail stores post the fulfilment of the Gamefound. We were hoping to drop all of them at once but that is looking very unlikely at this stage. We are looking at a monthly release of one or two Damned sets at a time. I think that makes you Damned backers a very lucky lot!



lots of good news and good sprues there




female infantry




heavy infantry

Yea those are both very good

And the free sprue thing is a huge relief

Those heads at the bottom of the heavy infantry sprue are reminding me of some of Ian Miller's art in Rogue Trader, in a good way.

This is an extremely minor quibble but kinda wish the female Damned didn't have damage to the chest plate in the same places for most of them.

Huh, good spot. Looks like 1 chest plate copy pasted 6 times (and mirrored in some cases) with 1-2 extra cracks added to each copy later.

I wonder how well the peasant levy weapon sprue will work with damned bodies to Fantasy them up.

Highly unlikely; Deathfields are closer to the 40K 28mm Heroic scale while the Baron's War are on the smaller end of 28mm Historical.

Boo... Well worst case I still have a ton of Fireforge Northmen arms I could use.

Agreed. I noticed the copy/paste of the damage on the bodies. Makes clones even more obvious when the poses are only slight pose changes with the same details.

Any clue when is the next release of Grand scale minis?

Well they announced Azincourt back in July, the Orcs in August and we have seen previews of both.

But they have taken down the news articles for Azincourt and the upcoming 10mm fantasy ruleset. So maybe some sort of hiccup to the release plans?

Oh, that's a bit concerning.

The news articles being taken down arent related to the releases. On Facebook they said that the website lost some articles and the site itself doesnt provide a back up... so those articles are lost. And it was ALL the articles since September. not just the grand scale stuff. So I wouldnt read anything in to it from that.

I haven't been following the grandscale stuff as its not really my thing... but the orcs do look nice.

And now... I am debating on getting the dark age army builder to soak up all my extra conquistador heads and weapons... To make generic fantasy mercs/ guards... I am kind of glad that its a long way from the $6000 needed for production as I would have impulse ordered some...

It does look awesome (the dark age army builder), so much better than that napoleonic one they did at the start.

Though the napoleanic one and then use the zombie heads is kind of tempting...

Guess shoulda seen this coming. They already have a Quar set coming with a tankette so this fits as there next step in modeling.

Is that yet another sci-fi tank turret with the commander seated where the gun breech would recoil into?

it's a Crusader Ailthean Tractor for the Quar.

you can get it as a resin 3D print from the zombiesmith site right now, but i bet lots of people will love it in plastic.

While I'm not personally interested in Quar, I definitely appreciate that there will be the tanks in plastic for kitbashing options in the future.

Now I cannot unsee that.

Gun fires, commander grabs his groin and moans...

never thought of the pose like that..

because is taken from the famous Panzer IV with the space between the commander and the gun was at a minimum
and why it was so tricky to upgrade guns for that tank as there wasn't any room for a little more recoil in that turret

given most made up tanks using the same style reduce the distance even further making the gun not just without recoil but impossible to load as well

I see no issue for any sci-fi gun like laser, plasma, ion and what else guns.
I hope it's for the Damned APC/IFV

If you don’t like it I guess we better throw out all our GW tank designs.
