Wargames Atlantic The Damned Arrive

They've been a while in arriving but, finally, The Damned Kickstarter pledge has arrived and crikey, it was a metric poop ton of plastic. Fortunately, they've also arrived at a time to 

coincide with my having the time to get back into some hobbying after being very busy for the last two years, hence the gap in posting.

I jumped in for the 15 box pledge which came with a very liberal sprinkling of free sprues.

Now, The Damned are a faction for WGA's Death Fields Arena ruleset but they have the capacity to be an Imperial Guard style Lost and the Damned army for 40K.

I have a line up of posts to come showing some of the basic builds and work in progress.

First up is a Command group made up from the HQ set. Not shown is the Brute model (think Ogryn) that was also on the sprue. These have been built to be the Boss model for the Brute squads (more on those later).

 

There are parts for an officer, medic, comms operator, standard bearer and sorceror/ psyker (again, in a separate post).

Across the range of boxes, there are multiple head types. For this initial burst of models, I've opted for the gasmask and hood variant. Slightly fiddly to build, the canister is a very small component glued onto the front of the hood. 

I've also built this Command squad with them all wearing trench coats. I may not do that for other squads, making this the lead Command for the army.

The army is being painted with Contrast paints with the main colours being:

Trenchcoats:                             Black Templar.

Trousers:                                  Space Wolves Grey.

Tunics:                                      Flesh Tearers Red.

Boots:                                       Cygor Brown.

Weapons:                                  Basilicanum Grey.

Webbing/ Hoods:                      Snakebite Leather.
