A month after everything was ready to re-re-resume shipping, everything is still ready to re-re-resume shipping

Both the UK and US fulfilment centres are ready to resume shipping.
Our US fulfilment centre will also resume shipping next week.

Just in time for the Southern and Eastern US to freeze over in a once in a decade Ice storm.

Shipment has really restarted. I got a tracking number yesterday. It should arrive sometime between, biggest snow storm in years, and only time I've left the state in three years.

Plastic glue! Own formula och something re-branded?

I don't see the Classic Fantasy Battles boxed set on the list anymore. Curious what the status of the rules are.

Which box set are you referring to? And being finished up by Andy.

Got my tracking number for my Damned, should be here right as the snow hits.

Hopefully that means I'll have it later in the week.

I’m not really on fb- have we seen any pics of the Egyptians and/or warring states minis?

I thought previously there was a Dwarves vs Orcs starter set box coming with the rules in it.

Any hints on shipping for Australia? From the UK I assume.

Asked many times. Never answered.

let me copy some across (FB will scramble the address in a week or two and the images will dissapear but at least you can get a look now) images from Marc Zelasko

Dang that's good stuff
Makes me regret I didn't get more beastmen (just 2 loose sprues for post-apoc kitbashing)
Warthog head!

Dang, those are good. Looking forward to mine even more now.

I'm even more convinced from these pics that these may be the solution for fantasy beastmen (with weapon swaps) as well as Sci-Fi.

One sprue of alternate heads/arms/weapons, and you could easily package them as a fantasy unit. I've got a box and a sprue coming (not shipped yet) and I'm going back and forth with how many I want to build as Fantasy and how many Sci-FI. I'll also be curious to see how these scale up against North Star SciFi plastics.

Going to go ahead and save and post the same images below so they'll be here beyond FB's whims.

These photos are making me even more eager for my Damned shipment.
The beastmen look like a hell of a lot of fun to kitbash. It'll be digitigrade legs for me all the way, though.

wow those are top.

WA keeps surprising me!

I wish they would surprise me by shipping my damned order. Birthday vacation starts in 2 days. My hopes of them arriving in time are dwindling. Still looking forward but... I did buy a bunch of resin tanks for them when they do get here. Though also have 5 of the maulers in my order too.

My stuff arrived, motus is pretty cool. I think I'll build the second one with the platform instead.

Damned, that's cool. Thanks for reporting, the low rate of shipping is driving me nuts. Still not a peep in the UK/EU.

DON'T SUPERGLUE HARD PLASTIC MODELS!

Our Hard Plastic Solvent is designed specifically for our plastic (High Impact Polystyrene or HIPS). Whereas superglue just "sticks" two parts together and is prone to come apart under duress, solvent literally fuses the two pieces together. The applicator brush is also great to smooth over the join lines between parts (for example where the arm meets the shoulder). For best results, start with our Hard Plastic Clippers and Hard Plastic Nano Files to expertly prep your models for painting.

No Product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or similar, and still no idea if it's their own or a rebrand.

99% sure it's a rebrand. I assume that production of semi-hazardous chemicals is not something you just do casually.

I do like the pointy tip though. I just refill my Plastruct Plastic-Weld bottles with MEK (the active ingredient in many solvent plastic glues). Much cheaper and works fine, but the brush isn't tapered.

Got my Damned today, a big box of sprues. I'll count them tonight but it looks like everything. The sprues look great, as I would expect from WA.

I think I might have missed it in the campaign though but there's no bases included. I'm sure I have enough spares from other stuff, but I didn't expect that.

Looks great, I was uncertain how the vehicles would turn out but now I regret not getting a couple.

seeing that makes me really want mine to arrive, i want to get building

what kind of options are there for the front weapon mount? can it be left off easily would we need to use some plasticard to kitbash a panel to cover a hole? and what size is the hatch ring, could some of the third party bitz for warhammer's tanks be useable to give it a Cupola turret or alternate weapon stations?

That's a really cool little APC.

I'm very pleasantly surprised. I'm guessing these will be available for the masses eventually...

They will be buying it somewhere. There only are a few companies in the world that produce butanone because it only makes sense to produce it in bulk. And even all the MEK that's used worldwide for plastic cement by hobbyists won't add up to all that much in the grand scheme of things (like, 1.8 million tons per year). Of course, they might have made their own mix but even then, production will be done at a company that actually is equipped to mix chemicals and, more importantly, safely fill small bottles with something that just loves to burn.

The front weapon is flamer or laser. There is no hole under it. The front of the vehicle is solid, and the the gun and the driver compartment are surface mounted in divots.

The hatch ring is built in. You can open the hatch, but you would need to cut the whole thing off to try and replace it.

If you wanted to add a turret, the best bet would be adding it razorback style over the crew compartment.

I noticed today that we've had to lock in our rewards in December 2024 and shipping address in May 2025 (when the beginning of shipping was first declared), and the EU is still in the "addresses are going to be exported from Gamefound to the shipping service any day now" phase. My choices would be pretty different today, given that the game I'm getting the models for has had an edition change in between.

Can't wait for their 10mm Seven Year War Game.

Where do you get your MEK from? Long ago, it was just on shelves in Home Depot etc with the paint thinners and such, but in recent years that seems to have changed. Now all I can find are substitutes.

Got my shipping notice today just as USPS shipping resumed from the Ice Storm. Can't wait as I had been wanting to order Baron's War products and had been holding out waiting for this to come in.

was mostly wondering if the size of the hatch was similar to that of a 40K vehicle like a Rhino. there is a strong market for bits meant to fit various weapons options into the crew hatches of GW tanks, to make it easier to field various weapons options (like twin plasmaguns on rhinos) that the kits don't offer. including some mini-turrets for more of a early WW2 feel.

if the hatch size on this is close enough to the GW standard hatch size, that would expand the conversion options rather a lot without forcing extensive modifications to the base kit.
