Oh, so they're perfectly compatible with Perry. Nice, thank you.

I hope that doesn't mean, though, that the Perrys I just ordered are too small for my other minis. I've got Elves from LotR, Dwarves, Vikings, and Goblins from Ragnarok, and heroes, Orcs, Trolls, Giants, and other monsters of the earlier metal Reapers; the smaller ones with the realistic proportions.

I'm measuring from the sole of the foot, i.e. the top of the base. Am I doing it wrong? Do others mean 28mm from the table to the eye?

**legionaires**

Man, I'm now glad I haven't bought heavily into Fireforge. Guess I should be patient for WGA and Victrix medieval ranges.

**lord_blackfang**

Fireforge Fantasy is pretty damn chunky, almost AoS human scale. Dunno about their historicals.

@RedRowan How many of the levy weapon sprues come in the box? It looks like it has 5 Body/ main sprues... so is it 3 weapons sprues in the box?

Yeah, agreed. They have a bit of the heroic fantasy exaggerated proportions, like Warhammer or the newer Reapers. Fine if that's your thing, but not for me.

There are 5 x main sprues with the bodies and 2 x Long Weapon sprues in the box.

Thanks for the answers and pictures, guys. From the comparisons, I can see that at least their heads are compatibly-sized, so if they turn out too short I can swap them onto other bodies. Those masked heads and some of the non-martial weapons are the main thing I want--I'm tired of using stand-ins for bandits. Between this set and Victrix Norman Infantry, Crossbowmen, and Archers, I should have a pretty good little outlaw band with which to harass my players.

**Kroem**

I love the sniper space hobbits that I got free with my magazine this month, might have to pick me up a box of those!

That's a very useful picture for comparison. Thanks for posting.

As you correctly suggest. Wargame miniatures are measured from the sole of the foot to the eyeline. Makes it much easier to compare various miniatures without taking into account headgear, approximate height of head, etc....

Not to say that companies will necessarily label their figures correctly, but sole-to-eye measuring is the standard for wargames miniatures.

**lord_blackfang**

Locked in my The Damned pledge. Deadline is end of month. EU VAT email also went out, they'll give us webshop vouchers in the sum of VAT charged by Gamefound.

**Easy E**

I am very happy with my Ancient Chariots of the two-horse variety and even bought and built a set all ready! I even bought a box of your Persians for the crew.

I am curious if there is any chance of a 4-horse chariot? Such things were common in the Chariot Age, and were used by Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Chinese, Carthaginians, the Roman games, and more! A generic set like this one would be amazing!

A sprue for Scything would be great too!

Don't forget there are 2 surprise Baron's War kits coming early next year. Hopefully they will be bandits.

Oh, that would be very cool.

I wonder if you could kitbash some? Maybe cut the tree off at the base which attaches to the chariot, and then attach that to the front of another one.

**Gallahad**

A 4 horse chariot seems like a very easy conversion or addition to their digital library.

**Kid_Kyoto**

They sell a box of just horses right? Would those be adaptable for a chariot?

They actually sell 2 separate just horses boxes now. "Horses" and "Light Horses". The chariots come with the ones from "Horses". So if you get a box of horses they are the same ones in the chariots box.

But the issue is more with the Yoke/ horse connector part to the chariot. Though as said above it shouldn't be that hard to convert.

Here are both horse sprues... Horses on left, and light horses on right

Thanks. I'm thinking I'll do another one like it when my Perries and Victrices (a bit of grammatical humor to amuse no one but myself) arrive, adding the metal Barons' War also.

**Easy E**

There is also a matter of Chariot "car" size as well. You need to be able to fit three to four minis in the back of it too. Not just adding two extra horses.

A Digital add-on for four-horse and scything would be great!

**Eilif**

Adjusted and finalized my pledge. I'm quite excited about this. I've already got an Imperial Guard army...
https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-24779-13756_Melk%2037th.html
... and it's pretty great that for a bit over $100 (plus some head swaps and patching some armor tears) I'll be able to add to it:
-2 Squads of Rough Riders
-3 Squads of Ogryn
-3 Pieces of artillery
-1 Squad of Stormtroopers
1-3 Squads of beastmen (might use some for my fantasy army, haven't decided yet)

On top of that I'll have enough bits to make at least 40 Chaos cultist types and lots of conversation bits left over.

I'd mostly dropped out of crowd funded projects, but this was an easy one to make exception for!

**RustyNumber**

Looks like I'll have to finally jump on the preorder wagon! Have a mate who could use some chaos cultists, and I'd love some "feudal IG"! I have to say though, I know they've tried to strike a balance where you can use them as both traitors or loyalist forces but I think I'd actually be disappointed as a chaos player with the lack of grimdark. They're much more a wasteland-anarchy kind of vibe by default.

UPDATE #72

Last chance for updates and late pledges as the pledge manager closes at the end of 31st December.
That's just about all folks!

Once the pledge manager has closed we will begin compiling your orders and running the final injection runs of each of the infantry frames. The Mauler is currently in layout following file fixes. It will then move to tooling and injection in time for fulfilment.

We are still aiming to begin fulfilment in March. The general retail release of The Damned will follow the final fulfilment of the campaign. It is our intention to release each of The Damned sets at a rate of one to two sets per month.

I'd like to say a big thank you to you all for your support and engagement over the course of this campaign. It has been a blast so far! Let's keep it up for the final few months. And beyond!

Best wishes to all of you for the New Year! I'll see you in an update on the other side!

Charlie

And then a fantasy campaign hopefully. A full Halfling army!

Charlie-Wargames Atlantic
We've got one coming in 10mm... Don't tell the boss I said that though!

So... It doesnt look like a 28mm plastic halfling army is coming, but It does look like a grand scale one is. Though the above comment could be referring to the dwarves too I suppose

**legionaires**

This 10mm Grand Scale must be a passion project because I just don't get it. I'd that rather seen 15mm stuff for FoW or 8mm for Legions Imperialis.

Pretty sure Flames of War doesn't even have Halflings?

Nothing wrong with passion projects but I think plastic 10mm fantasy is a fairly attractive product. At least it is a far less crowded segment of the market compared to WWII and "Epic".

**Easy E**

Yeah, 10mm Fantasy was made popular by GW's Warmaster.

As usual, we are all still living in GW's shadow when it comes to new things.

**lord_blackfang**

10mm is actually standard scale for "fantasy Epic" with several games and dozens of miniature lines, assuming it's not a relevant product line is just personal ignorance.

**ScarletRose**

Finalized my pledge since I needed to update my address anyway.

I went in for 5 boxes and between all the free sprues unlocked I'm basically get a box each of heavy infantry, ogres and support weapons for free.

I also went for 1 sprue of outriders, I'm going to experiment and see if I can convert the riders for motorbikes instead. It's much easier to justify risking 1 free sprue on a conversion project than a whole box.

**lord_blackfang**

My pledge was 8 boxen and 35 sprues and I don't think it even comes to 1000 pts of Militia in Horus Heresy... smells like an aborted project already.

It depends on what flavor of Chaos you're after. It's not super Grimdark, but with the majority of heads they're pretty evil looking. Enough to push it away from feudal guard.

They are generic enough though that a head swap can push them back into Imperial suitability.

I'll build my Ogryn and Beastmen straight from the kits. The Rough Riders and Stormtroopers will have new heads (probably Pig Iron Kolony Militia to match my current army) and most of their armor repaired. Artillery will be done without crew.

**Racerguy180**

Just finalized my Damned order. Can't wait to get all these heretical(in more ways than one) minis for my 30k Slanneshi militia/EC allies.

I'm not looking forward to painting 200ish minis...but Slannesh demands it
