The Damned And Matters Arising

I rarely back Kickstarters or anything like them. I've had enough bad experiences to convince me that whatever I might gain I lose in the ones that don't show up. 

Despite this, when I saw The Damned campaign I backed it anyway. I mean it's Wargames Atlantic, what could go wrong? And the offer was really good. So many plastic frames. I think I was looking at over twenty extra frames. A kitbasher's dream.

If I look at my purchases of plastic kits, well over half on them are from WA. I like their stuff. I have a lot of Quar, Traitors Toll, their modern stuff, Trench Crusade, WW2 stuff and a few dozen separate frames of their stuff currently in queue.

So I got this box.

Not much packaging so it is almost full of frames. Lots and lots of goodies. I am really happy with the quantity and the quality is top notch. But...

It's three years later. I don't have a project for them now. I can shoehorn some of these into other projects. The only major project is sUnderDground. At most this is going used up about a third of the kits. If I push it. There is a little bit of buyer's remorse. I can bitch and moan about WA. The reality is I am unhappy enough to give them a Paddington Bear stare. The minis are nice, I just need to find a project. Given the size of the box, I guess I will have to trim them from the frame and put them in the bits box. I have another box of figures coming, again mostly WA, so I will need to get them in the bits box as soon as possible.

When I looked at their release schedule I can see me buying another fifteen to twenty boxes. So other than the Paddington Bear stare, I am still looking at being a good customer.
