There isn't. Dreamforge tried to do something nice and now it's a conspiracy to get the North Americans their product first....

As a side note even most Americans know that Australia is closer to China than American and wouldn't have had an issue with the Aussies getting their stuff first. Like they will for the remaining waves.

Looks like they're also listed on Battlefield Berlin, under the section "unknow" (for whatever reason). And it's listed as "NEW In Stock" which might meant it actually is. Fingers crossed.

Mark, I think my troopers didn't have the instruction sheet shown on your website, just FYI. Had the sprue diagram but not the assembly pics. Accessory sprue box had the assembly pics but no sprue diagram.

Might want an easier way to find the instructions on the website, but I was able to get to them on your blog, so I'm good .

Also: soooooooo many pieces on accessory sprue! And so many bare heads!! I'm really happy with it and just mailed ski his

Yay! Thanks man. I'll be putting together my Kriegsmarine models with all those accessories soon then.
I may use some of the heads on the 4 extra Ada models I picked up to fill out my squads with AT rifles. 2 AT rifles in each squad, with Ada in the command squad. I'll have to look over the army list for my Drop Troopers and see if I can make a full AT squad with them though

I'm debating on whether I want to get rid of the resin 15mm version I picked up now... Probably keep it as a collector piece though. Not a whole lot of them in the wild.

The leviathan has been lotsa fun to build so far.. but it's taking me a long time.. 2 nights work and all I have to show for it is 2 legs, a pelvis and a half done sword arm.

I keep making the mistake of gluing things and then realizing I didn't need to because I was supposed to use screws.

TBH (If I was involved) I wouldn't mind who received their items first. I think Dreamforge is handling this beautifully.

I was quite astonished when CMoN sent out Zombicide to all American Backers, decided to put Internationals on hold, took the International stock to a Convention and sold it off, and then when another batch came in, fulfilled international orders.

As annoyed as I am that I cannot order Dreamforge stuff right now, I am happy about what they are doing to make sure their kickstarter backers get looked after properly.

Qft.
My order shipped but was missing parts, I sent mark an email and got an immediate response. Paul at dreamforge shipped out the new package the next morning. Unfortunately they missed parts again, but got an email response 7 minutes after they opened this morning saying they'll have it out today. I have no trouble waiting on these goodies as the storm troopers are so tiny for my fat fingers that I will have plenty to put together on the meantime.

Mark has done everything possible to get things done right from the other side of the world. Can't Blaim him for small errors or delays.

Thats the first I've heard of missing parts. Mine seam pretty perfect. Did some parts fall off your sprue?

A word of warning. If you're going to be finding a set pose you want and then gluing joints into place, DRY FIT WITH EVERYTHING IN PLACE BEFORE YOU GLUE THOSE JOINTS. I've had to make a couple of alterations to leg bits because I didn't foresee that the pose I was setting was going to cause an issue with other bits. Specifically, on one leg I straightened the lower hinge type joint a bit more than I ought to have, and found that the lower piston mount for the upper set of pistons was going to interfere with the upper piston mount on the lower pistons. I had to cut away the alignment tabs on the side plates that hold that upper piston, and reposition them to angle a little higher. Also, on that same leg, I set the knee just a hair straighter than the knee armor would fit, so had to trim the tabs that mount the knee armor to get it to mate up properly.

Lessons learned.

Oh, and if you want to keep your arm weapons swappable, bear in mind that the ammo boxes at the back of the Vulkan arms may interfere with letting them rotate far enough to clear the tabs, so make provisions there via pose, or leaving some other joints moveable or separable.

Theophony,

Nor for the vagaries of international post, tracking numbers, and customs charges.

Still, I have a slight chance of getting my Leviathan assembled and painted by the end of Easter, at which point I am going to be the envy of several forums, and will mean putting several other projects on hold for a while. But I don't care, I'll be the coolest guy around with the best model, why should I worry!

yeah, the accessory set is absolute madness

If anyone wants to trade I could use some more smg's!

Little OT here, but can you guys hit my Poll in the Paint forum? I need some help choosing my infantry camo scheme.

I just placed an order for a Leviathan from Battlefield Berlin, for the quite decent price of 115€ including shipping. If they in fact have it in stock, they should send me an invoice tomorrow and bung it in the post as soon as the international bank transfer clears, which shouldn't be too long. Happy days.

The missing parts of my order were the shadokesh, Ada's, and heavy weapons set. They couldn't fit in the first box with the leviathan and storm troopers and accessory boxes. When they resent they only sent the weapon box, still missing my Ada's and shadokesh guys. I have already received my tracking info for the new replacements for the replacements that got misplaced. I just hope it was a silly mistake and not someone snagging Ada's and shadokesh for the black plastic crack market.

@ski. You may want to swap photos around in the poll. You have the order of photos different than the list. It requires reading which I actually did for once. If someone wanted to vote for the top picture they currently need to click on the bottom selection in the poll.



Ok, tried to post an image from my gallery, can someone show me how to fix this.

@Theophony: Will do

When you view your images in the gallery, scroll down until you see the various options for posting picture links.

In this case, the 'forums' option - copy, paste, enjoy!

(I fixed the one in your post for you.)

I have a friend that really wanted one of mine, if you actually want to get rid of it I can give you his contact info in case he's still looking. I am holding on to all 10 of mine as I really like that size, and come on, it's a part of history!!

Grundz- I know right!?

Theophony- Looks great!

Yeah, I'll keep it, it was a fleeting thought.

Nice Crusader Theophony!

Has anyone tried the stormtrooper parts with GW minis to see how well they fit, or vice versa? Wondering if the scales match up well enough to swap bits fairly freely between them and guardsmen/SMs, or if it'll just make the GW bits look silly ; p

it will look terrible the scale is far off

maybe the backpacks would work

I blu-tacd-ed a Cadian Lasgun on one guy, and it didn't look too bad. The lasguns are scaled a bit huge for the Cadians anyhow, so those might work.

I received my box at work yesterday afternoon... then had to wait until I got home to do anything more than just make an inventory. Everything was in the box.

In a sense, I'm happy no school called me to sub today. Mo' money mo' problems and mo' work less leviathan being built.

Lucky bugger, mine seems to be lost to the winds!

They sent me a tracking number from Battlefield Berlin today, now begins the harrowing part

I've finished building the basic structure and the two arms. Really cool stuff. I'll be painting it with armour off, and then adding it, which means it looks like a headless robot at the moment.

I've also got three dudes and Ada done. I added a few accessories to Ada, like a pistol and utility pouche for more ammo. She is distinctly feminine, without having a T & A factor, which is super nice.

Going to bed now...

Got my stuff a week ago, 60 stormtroopers. Customs was only £20, which is nice, i expected it to be more!

It is so good! I did not realise how crisp all the detail was. Its breathtaing really, hats off to all involved, this should be a game changer!

I'm suffering from Dreamforge-gorging syndrome. My back hurts from being slightly bent over on this stuff for 2 days.

My friend came by and picked up his 60 troopers, levi and sundries. We were going to split the Heavy Weapon Teams so he left them here so I can build the AA guns (he wants all three AT guns and I let him have them).

The Heavy Weapons are fiddly, but the end result is really impressive. I built one base, but only two dudes on them, both for count-as purposes and not to have the bases be too busy.

The question of bases comes up right away though. I have 3 extra models... and your bases are thinner than the regular offering. Any plans to run a few more?

The twin-vulkan leviathan looks awesome.

Mark... merci beaucoup. You make great kits!

Got m replacement-replacement package today. Everything is here . Thanks for the assist Mark, they look even better than the pics posted. And the smell of plastic crack permeates the house once again.

Discount Game Store has confirmed they're going to stock Eisenkern which is great news, especially for Aussies. They give great discounts and good international shipping rates, have been my saviour in getting around GWs RoW embargo and price gouging. Highly recommended if anyone is going to order more sci fi german goodness once they get their prices up.

Might hold my order until phase 3 since I need APCs and some stock Valkir too.

Mark,

Have you gotten any progress reports on wave two and three yet? We're all waiting eagerly. Also any news on shadokesh stuff for the next KS?
