My tray is also cracked in a few places.

Additionally, my rulebook wasn't in it's "spot" and has a pretty mangled corner.

Usually I wouldn't be concerned because it's a rulebook, but this thing is no ordinary rulebook. That being said, If I was offered the option to purchase a hardcover one for, say, $15-20 bucks I'd probably do that in a heartbeat.

Looks like I'll be putting in a service order after I inventory everything.

Id throw down money quick for a hardback or a PDF. And if Poots ever got into Graphic novels based on the Kingdom Death lore, I'd probably buy those as well.

Would I kickstart that project... probably not.

Mine got cracked as well. The box is nice and sturdy, but the plastic insert is paper thin and flimsy.

I pledged for the premium survivor level (had additional resin goodies), and 1 of every add on, plastic and resin included (pledge was over $1400).

I just got a box in the mail. It included the base game and survivor add on pack. Were we supposed to get our other goodies in the firat wave too? I only ask because I have seen the plastic promo and pinups on ebay already but I didn't gwt mine yet.

I was thinking of selling because I have too many games but probably won't now -holy crap this stuff is good! Much better than resin, durable, and detailed as hell!!!! Kudos poots!!

no

Adam and his team is picking and packing the very complex pinup/promo/tshirts/extra armour kits and resins (wave 1)

they did some test using the USA to optimise their methods (cheaper to fix issues) then moved on to international orders which will take longer to arrive.

orders without armour kits and resins, then those with one of them, and finally both,

they'll then do the remainder of the usa orders (all of the armour kit/resins will be in this batch)

expectt this to take several weeks more

the game boxes are being sent out via a freight forwarder which is nice and fast as all he need to do is put on address labels (also known as wave 2). the usa stuff is going out now, Australia and Canada look to just be starting, and the EU is stii on the boat sa far as we know

finally the expansions will be wave 3

Has a thread been started to discuss rules? Some seemed odd, and im sure im over thinking them but would like others input.

Mine just arrived. Box was in great shape, although a couple cracks in the internal tray. Looks like it probably happened during packing as opposed to transit.

The box is a behemoth; I put it up on my oversize game shelf and it makes Cthulhu Wars look itty bitty.

Can we please keep this thread about News and Rumors for the KINGDOM DEATH line?

And all of the KINGDOM DEATH: MONSTER Kickstarter talk can go here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/490911.page

to the 'Kingdom Death : Monster - Official Kickstarter Thread'.

I know the distinction will be fuzzy at times, but right now there's too much overlap.

Thanks!

Well, my Survivor box arrived at my parents' house (as my apartment complex's mail office is less than reliable). From what I can tell, it came in good condition. My main concern, however, is that I still haven't received a shipping notification for it!

Dude, it's like they all just have you on ignore....

So, hopefully within scope of the thread, does anyone know if the armor kit sprues will be available individually later on, and if so, how much they will run?

They most likely will be available 'later' on, but I don't believe many (or any?) post-Kickstarter prices have been set yet, outside of the core box.

I doubt they'd be anything less than boutique prices. You might have to sell your shoulder blades for those armor kits.

I don't know about that. What little comparison we have shows that single figures in plastic will probably be $12.50 U.S., half of the resin prices, so they're definitely thinking about costs. While I'm sure you won't be able to build regiments with them, I expect they'll be in the same neighborhood as Malifaux plastics.

EDIT: To be completely fair, this is purely speculation on my part.

Prices on ebay look to be all over the place. Plastic phoenix same day. buy it now, sold for $29 and one for $75.

I think the only certainty is they will be more expensive than they were during the KS,

but that's not a bad guess for multiples as it's what the pinups of death box works out too, and just below what the SF twilight knight cost at $15 which I think will be the price for the singles

I'd say $15 to $20 for the plastic single figures depending on packaging.

That's just my gut feeling, though.

With as much is crammed onto these sprues...that really doesn't feel like a bad deal...

Kingdom Death: Monster available for pre-order again on the KD store.

Also, from Adam in the KS comments:

I am making arrangements with Santa to get us armor kits in time to sell for the holidays.

ARMOR KITS!

TO SELL!

HOLIDAYS!

ARRANGEMENTS!

Color me excited.

I wouldn't be surprised to see armor kits on Black Friday.

It's almost like a tradition for KD's bakcers.

Could always use more giant swords.

Received a package today. Was expecting the small rewards, but it's the main game

weird, since I got an email telling me to expect the small rewards, I wonder if theure was a mix up.

Quality is excellent, Probably a notch above wyrd.

There's a lot of KD:M chatter in the appropriate thread. See the big orange text block.

Does anyone know of any repository for all the Kingdom Death fluff? I wasn't in any position to back the game but the setting and imagery has really struck a chord with me.

I wish. They've been keeping the fluff pretty well under wraps so far. What little I know is pieced together from model descriptions and Adam's comments.

That would be the KS page, Kingdom Death Website, and... A. Poots.

Near as I can tell, it will be growing its own fluff and backstory as we see more.

Supposed to be more games in the works from the original plan explained in the KS.


Yeah, this game is top notch, and will probably be the go to game, instead of GW from now on. Box, contents, books, all make me want to wear a Gimp mask to play the game. Great fun!!!!! Wheeeeeee!!!!!!

So, Highlord Tamburlaine suggested I should post these pics. I received my stuff today and among my handful of sprues was the Dragon King armor set. I hadn't heard of anyone else getting the armor from the expansions yet.

Hopefully you can make everything out on here.

Sprue 1: figures and armor. 2 guys, 2 girls



Sprue 2: pile 'o weapons



I'll post these in the other KD: M thread as well.

This turned up in the KS comments possible new monster Lotus
