^ Well a chap can only wish can't he! We also have a little snow problem at the moment that may just slow things down a bit...

Edit: That awkward moment when you are too lazy to quote someone and your post starts the next page...

Yeah, I missed it after hitting F5, then went back to the main page and saw your name as the last poster... is it bad though that I automtically thought my 'puter was being dumb?

It's an inanimate object, fer crying out loud.

Received my UPS tracking email this afternoon; excited to see my new toy.

I sure my package doesn't become a hostage of UPS...

For me it's a race between the Eisenkern and a Badger Krome with 80 Minitaire paints. Excited for both and pretty sure one goes with the other nicely. Now if I can decide on a scheme for the Eisenkern... German Grey is tempting but perhaps bland.

I shall sacrifice some spehs mehreens to the paint god and work on some schemes I think.

How about pea-dot?

Did Ada come with a base, didn't see it on the sprue, ur was it separate.

That is the word on the street. But then again, word on the street was that WGF also did Mantic's Goblins, and that doesn't seem as likely anymore.

+1 love the German WWII patterns

I'm surprised no one is flipping out over the fact that the Warstore and others have these up for pre-order (eta, according to the Warstore, of 7-10 days).

$33.99 for the twenty-troop box, $27.99 for the support weapons, and $95.99 for the Leviathan!

I'm now $100 poorer. No Leviathan for me . . . yet.

Perhaps.... but I think that is optimistic.

It was shipped from China to HK, my understanding is that they were leaving HK yesterday or today, Paul at WGF will send the tracking #'s as soon as China forwards them.

What if he went half and half? Say one big beasty, a vehicle and 2 core infantry choices for 2 factions?

Shadokesh:
1) foot soldiers of hard hitting ranged doom (tm)
2) more ferals and handler as savage CC packs
3) some light skimmer that has many support weapon options
4) a leviathan sized quad or hexa-robot.

Russians (in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace):
1) grizzled foot soldiers complete with dog packs (two units in one box)
2) light artillery support
3) light tank or scouting tracked/half-track/walker
4) BAMF MBT

KS exclusives as stretch goals:
1) some mercenaries/independent corsairs
2) religious faction emissary/brethren.

Can you tell it's been a while I read the fluff?

Waddya think of this?

Honestly... My mind is so firmly on completing this KS that I have not given thought to much ell's. Chances are I can only release one faction and the game if I run another KS. Part of the issue is that everything takes longer that you think it should. It also helps to only work one faction at a time for esthetic's reasons.. you want the vision and the work to be as clear as possible while you build the faction... mixing two at one time may not yield the best result for either.

I have yet to recieve my tracking info, I am so jealous.

Thinking about the Shadowkesh, I'm wondering if they might be both advanced (and psychoitc) enough to force a temporary small-scale tear in the "veil" with their weapons. Basically a small nuke using "free" energy of the universe.

Whoa! The Shadokesh have rear-facing knees? Me likey.

Even at warstore mark up, I seriously prefer paying 33bucks for 20 guys as opposed to GW's 10IG or worse, 5 SM. Okay, so the Heavy support weapons are about comparable, but better weapons that look cooler and the Eisenkern truppen, I paid about that for my Baneblade and Stompa, of the 2 I actually like my stompa named "Patches"

What is that piece on the Ada sprue next to the gun... is it a crotch piece? 0_o

A single faction and the rules in the next KS sound great to me, Mark. I'll probably only be in for rules since I have so much of this faction, and generally limit myself to one faction per system. But, I can't wait to receive this stuff, and then to start hearing about rules!

As much as it makes my wallet cringe to hear, I look forward to the next DFG KickStarter. Going 3 for 3! Maybe not for as much as went into this one though, since I may have gone a bit crazy.

*goes back to email vigil for tracking numbers* Soon.....

I don't think it'll happen until after May / Wave 3 of this one ships... hopefully we'll get good advance notice of it so folks can plan.

Ghost Studios/Wargames Factory has the contract and has been producting all of Wyrd's plastic sprues for Malifaux.

They also produced the amazing prepainted plastic ships for the Leviathans game. (They are also doing prepainted 15mm plastic infantry (had a look at these up-close at Williamsburg Muster; they are painted better than most people I know can paint))

There is literally no way Wargames Factory did Mantic's goblins. Different plastic and different tooling style. Wargames Factory uses very specific channel lines and stackable sprues.

Mark, are we supposed to be getting any shipping notifications, or are our orders just going out. I would love to see tracking info if possible.

Yep, you will get a tracking number the day your order goes out.

Got my shipping notice yesterday...scheduled to arrive on the 12th. So excited...

Having my last name makes me sad. I'm last on the list or close to it!

Brick of plastic crack arrived today. My desk is now occupied with dozens on half-assembled stormtroopers.

As for future kickstarters, as long as Mark makes pretty models he will continue to receive my paychecks.

Anyone know how to check on shipping status? I backed four Leviathan's and got all the goodies, sure would like to get some word since folks are now getting there packages.

BigJon

You'll get a shipping notification email when it's sent out.

Funny thing notable up to now is that only such posters with the american flag by their avatar got a notification....
...Honi qui mal y pense

When will Australians and Europeans get notified?

I'm american, and my last name starts with B, so i'm getting slightly worried.

Maybe I missed it or something, need to get on my computer and check today.

Uuuh, not true, actually.
I got my notification ~19H ago now - for delivery to the Netherlands.

Quite surprising - I tend to be the very last backer in any KS to get anything shipped out

Maybe it's by pledge number? ETA for my stuff is the 9th.

And I'll support the hell out of the next KS, especially if it's Shadowkesh.

Nah, then I'd've gotten mine sooner. I think it's by time of completion on the pledge manager.
