Bolognesus presumably they got held up because any stock shipped is missing the left arm armor.

**Bolognesus**

Oh right, silly of me. That's okay, then. Was kinda fearful they wouldn't turn up in EU distribution.

**Mathieu Raymond**

I was just thinking that Mark should have made a leviathan sized version of the AA guns on the support weapons. The heavy troopers seem to have the option to tote them, but on a leviathan... now that would have been a Rifleman!

**Valhallan42nd**

I was looking at my HEL toting big beastie, and my first thought was "doesn't this look like a certain very popular 70 ton battlemech..."

**RiTides**

Mark, if you're able to update on the left arm armor situation, that would be great! I assume this won't be an issue for Wave 3 when I get my 15mm arms

Also, now that wave 2 is well under way, if you would show us some of those renders you've been hiding for wave 3, I know I would really appreciate it

Finally, someone else but me says it. It was beginning to feel lonely on twitter-weaned mountain, you know.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Yeah arm armor is something I'd be very interested to hear about, and W3 renders something I'd be very interested to see!

**Alpharius**

...and updates on the 15mm Swords and Capacitor coolers too, please!

**Mathieu Raymond**

^Both of those fit in 140 characters. Good show, people, good show.

**Theophony**

Even just sketches or hints of Shadowkesh would be sweet

**Yonan**

Not sure if I can handle more awesomeness after seeing the deadzone production minis. Might be best to space it out another week before we get something awesome from Mark ; p

It's nothing we haven't seen, but can't hurt to include some renders to whet the appetite. Can't believe how awesome they still look... a year later now ; p KS ended 16 September 2012. 1 year, coming on 2 months ago now.

Spoiler:

Edit: Just noticed, a Valkir assault troop has a mini version of the excalibur? kickstarter freebie leviathan sword.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Yes, and the support Valkir carry miniature versions of the Beowulf/Grendel gun, Novacanon, H.E.L., as well as the AA guns and AT gun from the support weapons pack.

I regret not getting any of the support Valkir...

...Coupon?

**Azazelx**

I guess so. If shipping can be worked out from China for people out my way, I'll be getting some of those APCs with it...

**Yonan**

Dat coupon... bathe it, and bring it to me. Definitely need that shipping from China for us Azazel.

**Yonan**

TL'DR Mark liked the "wait to ship the missing items until wave 3" idea, but realising not everyone might go for it, is still offering to ship it out now.

Update #114 Nov 8, 2013
Shipping the missing left arm armor and the parts for the 15mm Crusader

Spoiler:

**Azazelx**

That's all quite reasonable, but here we are with another 6 months on top of the existing delays... yowtch.

**Tannhauser42**

Meh, my "to be assembled" pile is already quite enormous (all of my Wave 1 DFG stuff, along with half of a Red Scorpions marine legion, and assorted other projects big and small), that I definitely do not mind waiting to add even more to that pile.

But teaser pictures of the Wave 3 stuff would make the wait easier...(hint).

**Azazelx**

With another 6 months for the last of the stuff (more than even I had anticipated) and mid-year 2014 delivery, I may actually start in on some of my existing Mecha over my Christmas break. (Because I'll then not likely have time to start properly until Christmas 2014/Jan 2015, which is fething ridiculous for a "2012 delivery" project). Aside from the foot troops and APCs, we're only waiting on the additional 15mm Levi weapon options and the 15mm, Mortii, correct?

**Yonan**

Yeah no denying it's a ridiculously large delay, and no wonder Mark was vehement about what would need to be ready and set in stone for the next KS (if he does another).

**RiTides**

Late April / May :-/. Not that I wasn't already figuring it would be then, but man, bummer.

Thanks for the update, Mark.

**Lobokai**

Love your stuff Mark. I'd love it sooner than later, but love your stuff.

Yeah, the 28mm leviathans are "done" with the Mortis and 15mm arms being the last of the "mecha" stuff. The rest of wave 3 is 5 infantry kits and the APC+addons if memory serves.

I'd be more upset about the delays if it wasn't for Mantic, ironically. Now that nearly all of my DreadBall stuff is here and DeadZone will be here shortly, followed by KD:M long before I've cleared those two out...yeah....

I'm not sure what way to go with the arm armor. On the one hand I DO want it, because I had a few arms I wanted on the left. On the other hand, with my insane (and soon to be vaster insane-er backlog) I don't know that it's really going to hold me up that badly to wait. I'll have to ponder...

**Conrad Turner**

I know what you're saying Krinsath. I wanted double H.E.L.s and double Beowulf/Grendels. The missing armour is not going to put me off, however, as I have not yet finished building and painting the Crusader, never mind the new arms. New weapons are already built with the exception of the armour as that would have interferred too much with the painting.

Besides which I have an absolute invasion of zombies to paint as I have not touched either season of Zombicide yet and that was an Abomination pack from season 1 plus Prison Outbreak, Toxic City Mall, and a host of extras. I hope to get a few bits painted shortly, but given current weather I doubt I'll get anything more undercoated - including Crusader parts and weapon systems - until Christmas anyway.

Random thought that perhaps Mark could answer since he designed them. I've not poked at the sprues for the arms yet (been busy building the 15mm), but is the part that hooks to the arm largely similar to the left-handed Vulkan? 99% sure with the Wave 2 shipment I'll have 2 of those in the box still and if the armor from those would fit, it might be a "good enough" solution for right now, especially if they're just tacked together somehow (not like there's much call for gaming with them atm).

If they're a bit more tailored like the sword arm's armor, then obviously that works less gooder.

**Theophony**

@krinsath, they seem to be the same as the Vulcan, so you could just magnetize that if needed.

**Krinsath**

That'd be good enough then I think...maybe...perhaps. My memory is terrible lately of what I actually have and wanted to do...

Anyway, thanks for checking for me!

**Rennoc215**

Well, at least he's being hopeful on that wave three shipping date. I was that unfortunate soul who chose "Ship it all when everything is ready."

Ah well. Mid summer. At least know I have some idea of when to expect my stuff. That being said, I'm going to be ecstatic when it comes in; It'll be like a present past-me ordered for future-me.

I'll have to send him a thank you letter.

It's good to have a KS we feel bad about *not* backing more.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Saw the Mortis at Fall In today... must... resist... purchase...
