I'm surprised the vehicle redesign is in the lead, sight unseen, versus a gorgeous power armour render

I like a vehicle because a good cheap vehicle would be a good thing out there. Power armor is cool, but just not something I need.

**Eilif**

We'd like your input on the Terrae Motus vehicle and what to do with the design.
The last big hurdle to overcome for the project is the Terrae Motus vehicle.

This one JUST squeaked by in the last seconds of the campaign by $3,000. We ran a report and only 30 of the 1420 backers have added it to their pledge. So it seems like only 2% of you are interested in it.

We have to admit we are not in absolute love with the design and have been playing with ideas for it, but before we get too far we wanted to let you tell us what you wanted us to do.

We see three options:
1. Refine it but basically keep it as is
2. Change the design completely - perhaps to a tank or walker - we'd run a separate poll with concepts to decide this
3. Replace this with a new set of Damned power armor troops

Spoiler:

Rob Macfarlane has worked up a concept for the power armor troops:

The power armor guys would have different head options so that you could make them all the same or mix it up within a unit. Shoulder pads would be "Damnified" and with plain versions as well. Concepts aren't final of course but this is what we were thinking would fit with the rest of the range.

We thought the best way to decide this was to have you vote - this vote is only open to the backers so it can't be influenced by outsiders. If #2 or #3 end up being chosen, we'd make the existing Terrae Motus design available as a free stl file set for those who want it.

Please let us know your wishes below! Also regarding schedule there is a lot in tooling now and we're just working out what the final timelines look like for everything. As we've said doing 11 all at once is a daunting task that's a little different than the 50 or so sets we've done all in singles or pairs in the past but we are getting there! We can't wait to unleash 11 full plastic sets on the world in one shot - just crazy! Thanks for helping us make this a reality!

.

I'll be voting for walkers. This is essentially an imperial guard army kickstarter and if the vehicle (which I was never impressed by) is not to be, then a not-Sentinel is the most sensible choice.

That said, the power armor does look cool, it's just not something I've got any use for.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I really want the vehicle as is (and i've got several in my pledge),

an alternate vehicle might be ok but i'd need to see it first, and even more so for a walker

i've got enough troops coming anyway that i don't need the power armour stuff (and i feel it fits less well with the rest of the concept).

If they became a future release for the line fine, but not in place of a vehicle which is the thing most in short supply in the hobby space

I suggested that if there really are only 30 of us who want a vehicle (how many folk are waiting to the last minute to finalise their orders once all the sprue layouts have been shown?) that maybe they way to do it would be for WGA to 3D print them for those that wanted them,

not as good as plastic, but at least it would mean getting them

**Smokestack**

I am hoping for a Walker transport with option to turn it in to a tank. Something similar to this design from DUST: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/ffg_blog/21790/original_content I should have bought a bunch of these when they were like $10 on miniature market...

**Easy E**

Go with what you advertised seems like the obvious answer to me, but what do I know.

We really do not need more Power Armor on the market.

**Smokestack**

The power armor does look nice... but I would much rather have a transport.

**Brickfix**

I wanted at least one vehicle, and depending on the final design and versatility I might have gotten more. I haven't finalized my pledge as I'm waiting to see everything first, therefore no vehicles added in my pledge yet.

**Talking Banana**

I would have been OK with the original design - I'm one of the 30 - but since I'd prefer a walker, I voted for that.

Glad I did, too, because it's leading power armor, the only option I don't like at all.

I think WGA needs to stop faffing around and just go ahead and publish their first vehicle. It was their idea to do it in the first place.

**modelhunter**

Stay with what you advertised Gamefound. I made my pledge on that basis. If WA want to do something different put that into their future release plan.

**insaniak**

Not a backer, but as a fan of inexpensive vehicle options, that truck design just doesn't grab me. I'd prefer more of an industrial truck look, rather than an armoured station wagon.

That said, alternate tanks and walkers are also always nice to have.

I must have missed something. What are Ratlings and werewolves doing in the same sprue?

Quite a few of the WA kits are half sprues. The moulds make two different kits at once. They will be separated at the factory.

WGA said something about cross compatibility with Deathfields for werewolves so maybe they are one team? Ratlings for shooting and doggos for muscle?

**lord_blackfang**

I for one would like to voice a protest against half sprues. Every unit that deserves to get made deserves a full sprue.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Most do (but not every one),

and one of their recent polls agrees with 27% of respondents wanting more half sprues if that mean more different releases,

and 65% preferring fewer full sprues even though that would mean only half the number of different releases

(although i suspect a degree of bias there with those wanting full sprues at least subconsciously thinking that the new stuff they want would be amongst that was made, not the stuff that got missed out on)

i'm sure this will advise their choices going forward

When you roll a 6 on the full moon table you replace the halfling with a werewolf.

**privateer4hire**

Fingers crossed that the quar figure-only boxes are as affordable as reptilian overlords figures.

**Shadow Walker**

**Grumpy Gnome**

Fair play, Wargames Atlantic has pleasantly surprised me with how quick they are getting the figure only Quar kits out. Respect.

**Garrac**

So, I think it's fair to asume the damned will come this summer, later than may? I don't mind at all, tbh

Also, yes, I hope whatever change of design comes for the vehicle, it keeps being a transport. Need some for my army, lol

**Smokestack**

Yeah, wonder how long the new design will delay the project.

I am hoping for a walker transport... or just a transport but I would be ok with some "not sentinels" too. I like the power armor better thna the Heavy armor troopers. I kind of wish they could swap them...

**RustyNumber**

Is there a size comparison anywhere for the new mediaeval foot knights against... Popular generic fantasy foot knights?

**privateer4hire**

$40 for 24 Quar. Now that’s what I was hoping for.
