Wargames Atlantic are going to be heading to Gamefound to launch their first crowdfunding campaign alongside the folks from MiniWargaming. The focus is going to be on producing eight hard plastic sets for The Damned!

The Damned // Wargames Atlantic

This is a new faction from the Sci-Fi Death Fields range by Wargames Atlantic and will break down into different sets that include Infantry, Command, Brutes, Outriders, Heavy Support Teams, Hounds, Artillery and Tanks. This is going to be the first time we're getting a big hard plastic vehicle from Wargames Atlantic! All of this will be 28mm and suit all manner of different games out there like Warhammer 40,000 and Stargrave.

The Damned (Painted) // Wargames Atlantic

Here is some of the background behind The Damned...

"These unfortunate humans were part of a powerful and wide-ranging end-of-days cult in human space that believed only strict separation from the rest of humanity would save them from the coming galactic apocalypse. To that end in the late 2300s they secretly funneled monies to construct a space habitat in a remote system with no habitable worlds. Here they hoped to live unnoticed by the rest of humanity. Unfortunately for them, they did. Within twenty years, minor and then major systems began to fail and few of the new generation had taken their training seriously. Rival factions claiming to know the "true path" silently formed. As their habitat began to fail around them, terrorist acts and then open conflict began to erupt."

The campaign should mean that Wargames Atlantic are going to be able to launch an entire army in one go. When the Gamefound campaign has finished and the new plastic sets have been delivered, they are also going to be available at retail either on their webstore or in stores.

Here are some of previews of the different sets that Wargames Atlantic have planned...

Infantry & Brutes // Wargames Atlantic

Heavy Weapons // The Damned

Rough Riders // Wargames Atlantic

I am very much liking the style of these new miniatures and if they turn out anything like the rest of the Wargames Atlantic kits, they are going to be very nice to kitbash and customise. A lot of folks have been crying out for the likes of a Traitor Guard army for Warhammer 40,000 and these miniatures now fill that gap. I also think they would be excellent raiders for those wanting to throw some bad guys into the likes of Stargrave. There are plenty of weird cults out there for your crew to interact with!

Will you be backing The Damned on Gamefound?
