We filled an entire shipping container /just/ for the backers? Epic.

I disagree. The container is not filled. There was still space on top for extra goodies for all of us patient KS backers. :-)

Qft, but none of the stores around me carry wgf, so I'd like to get mine and assemble it and see if they will display them just to get more people involved. Would love to see the next kickstarter explode with hundreds of new backers. I'm sure mark would like it too.



Ill agree as well. As cool as it will be to have in hand, it will be a while before my Leviathan gets worked on, I just dont have time for a project that size right now, and I want to do it right. However, Ill probably do up the bonus goodies pretty quick.

The timing of this could be excellent, as I may have just gotten an airbrush by the time they arrive... I want to try to do these minis justice!

No, it's definately 28mm scale. If it had been Epic, we'd have probably filled one box! :

Mind you, filling a container like that is also not that hard when each Leviathan is a box 12"X10"X10".



Mark, any idea when said Leviathans are going to hit Blighty's shores?I'm thinking I ought to be expecting contact from the (Expletive Deleted) Customs sometime mid February, is this a reasonable expectation do you think?

I think your right, assuming they hit Utah the last week of January... We will have about a weeks worth of shipping from WGF and about ten days in transit, so mid to late February sounds correct.

I'm guessing the 15mm Leviathans won't have quite as many pieces?

For those who don't get KS emails or follow the blog (both good ideas!):

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/500504.page

Some of the mold lines look troublesome, but overall still yummy and delicious.

EDIT: on the topic of the 15mm leviathans, I *believe* (key word) that Mark said it's the same model in terms of parts, just 1/2 size. Whether that includes screws and such I don't know though.

EDIT2: Mark snuck in a news post so...

Loving the stuff here!

Just one question, when are we looking at public release? I missed out on the Kickstarter sadly, and can't wait to get my hands on them. Sorry if it was posted somewhere, I looked through but couldn't find it (well, not all 91 pages....but quite a few). Also, if they come with "special weapons" to add even more variety (although it looks like I can make every soldier look different at this point, I love individuality among my men so more options the better) or work with various game systems that would be awesome. Again, I looked but no dice haha

Mark has said that WGF will be distributing to shops as soon as the KS backers orders have been fulfilled.

There is a shipment of first wave models going out right behind the KS backers models.

Soo if you're in the US, figure on February to reach stores.

Ooooooh, here it comes, here it comes!

The shipment has made it to port!
Update #86 · Jan. 22, 2013 · comment

The cargo container has arrived at the Port of LA and will be making its trip to WGF Utah as we speak.

At this time I would like to make a couple of suggestions if I may. WGF Utah will be printing packing lists over the next couple of days in order to expedite the process. In order to make sure that your pledge rewards arrive at their destinations; (your door step) you will want to follow these easy steps.

1. If you have moved, please update WGF with your new address by emailing them at dfg@wargamesfactory.net so they have your correct shipping address. We will need this ASAP! as they will be finalizing this information early this week.

2. Add the following emails to your contacts list (in whatever email program or mail provider you are using) to make sure that your spam filters do not block the tracking emails of your delivery. We had a problem with some email providers blocking or listing as spam the emails sent from WGF, this step should resolve most of those issues.

The emails you should add to your contacts list:

dfg@wargamesfactory.net

shipping@wargamesfactory.net

Thank you again! I hope to post another update soon letting you know that we have begun shipping.

Cheers,

Mark Mondragon

Can't wait! Hopefully they won't be held up by customs for too long. Then a couple day trip up to WGF, and packing.

Soo.. First week of February?

Looking forward to getting my Leviathan put together and painted up in a nice 44/45 German Ambush camo scheme.

I was thinking of trying to minimize the "German" look with some sort of urban camouflage scheme.

I'm planning on using mine in Secrets of the Third Reich 1949, so the ambush camo will fit the rest of my Germans.

I'll be picking up Shadowkesh when they come out for my IC army.

Yessir. I have two 5 man squads and a 5 man command squad of metal Eisenkern Kriegsmarine I'm going to use. Along with some Ma.K figs for light mecha, and Fallschirmjager units for light infantry.

No, I used to sleep in front of the pile of gifts just to make sure nothing happened to it once they had come out of my parents' hidey-holes.

The good old days, when Kenner and Hasbro made those huge sets like the Ewok Village, the Millenium Falcon, the GI Joe base... man I miss that last one. I can't believe I had actually put the Ewok Village a higher priority than the B-Wing...)

LOL! Sounds very familiar! Once my mom had forgotten where she had hidden all so she asked me where everything was!

OT: Any news if delivery has started?

Have ordered some of those fab boonie hat heads from Mad Robot to convert some of my squads into near future Bundeswehr in desert fatigues like in Afghanistan (those scarfs they wear will be made with green stuff).

Sounds like an exciting conversion! Are you going to do the Bundeswehr camo pattern? I salute your courage if you're going to.

Side note the scarves are called shemaghs

Will most certainly give it a try!! It's only in a light sand base colour, a bigger mid sand colour flecks, sparsed smaller red brown flecks and sparsed smaller green flecks.
Have enough reference pics for this task at hand.

And thanks very much indeed for the name of the scarves!

Project Update #87: ETA of container at WGF Utah
Posted by Mark Mondragon
I just wanted to keep all of you in the loop…

The container cleared customs fairly quickly and made its trip to Utah. It has been sitting at a shipping yard, frustratingly close to its destination, waiting for the final leg to the WGF distribution center for the last couple of days.

The shipping company has the container scheduled to be delivered Thursday (tomorrow).

It seems that Utah has been snowing; about ten inches over the last two days and this caused some problems for the shipping company keeping up with their other shipments and caused delays in our shipment. As a California native ten inches does not sound like much to me but I have the pleasure not having inclement weather, so I would not be the best person to ask when it comes to weather related issues.

The will likely begin shipping in bulk on Monday. This process could take anywhere from seven to fourteen days depending on how many of you opted to wait on your shipping. I don’t have those numbers so I am not sure of the total time needed. I know they are bringing in extra staff to deal with the project and expedite the process so hopefully we will be done sooner rather than later.

When the container actually hits the distribution center I will post another update, and one more when they have completed their work on stage one. You should start receiving your shipping confirmations next week. Be sure to check out the last update for a couple of hints on how to make sure you are receiving your confirmation. (Update #86)

A not on your packages:

When you receive your package you may notice that the seal has been cut (a round clear plastic sticker on the flap). This is due to the fact they need to insert some updated instruction inserts that did not make it into the box while they were in China. The main shipping box will be sealed and I know the flaps will stay closed on your model boxes but I just wanted to give you a heads up so you were not worried that someone had been poking around your shipment.

A note to our backers down under (Australia as well as the Pacific Rim, Asia):

We found that we could ship to this zone direct from Hong Kong at nearly the same cost of shipping from the US Your orders were sent Hong Kong Post direct to help speed your delivery. Customers in those regions will receive a tracking number next week, sent by Wargames Factory and should receive your kits at about the same time that the US customers receive theirs. The UK and EU backers could not be shipped this method due to the postal costs.

Cheers!

Mark Mondragon

DreamForge-Games



Thanks for the update, Mark.
Will Australian/New Zealand/Asian backers also have the updated instructions in their boxes or will they be mailed out separately from the US?

Just rec'd an email from WGF with a tracking number and I have not ordered anything from them directly, so I'm guessing this is for the KS.

Tim,

Thank you from Wargames Factory for your recent order! This email is notification that your order has shipped.

(Note: if your order contains more than one package you will receive this email once per package.)

Your package was shipped on 02/05/2013 via U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail to the following address:
