Warlord – Soldier + Orc Army + Undead Army + Undead Vampiress and Orc Wizard

Figured 125 was enough. I wanted to get a few more things, but this plus SW plus a convention I went to for something destroyed checking account.

Plus, 2 armies (although small) is enough to get together and painted, and play with some other people.

Woo, uhh, yeah:

Went with the General lvl, (275.00)

Picked up the Undead Army, and paid the 50 to upgrade the Orcs to the Gobbos.

Extras:

T-Shirt, Art Book, Printed Expansion, Kings and Legends Supp, Additional Rulebook, Battlefoam Case, and some extra dice and wound counters. Just a little bit of stuff

pledge 1: goblin army, separate rulebook shipping
pledge 2: undead army, two supplements, artbook, BOGOF
pledge 3: bag, BOGOF, wound counters.
...had to sell more than a few other models to pledge that much, haha.

Have any of the kickstarter miniatures been shipped?

they mentioned on the podcast a few days ago that the first boxes with 1st print run rulebooks are shipping now.
we'll see folks getting their stuff before too long, I'm sure!

edit: Topher on the mantic forums seems to have gotten his in already.

I got my rulebook, shaman, dice and litho but didn't get my orc and undead box. Wasn't even on the invoice which I thought was odd.

Which deal did you go to? Also did you choose to get your book earlier or wait for the names?

I think it was the $125 but I got in just after the kickstarter ended.
Yeah it was $125.

Chose for earlier on the rulebook

Since the estimate delivery date is September on that deal you might get them later. But check with Mantic (you can send them a message through Kickstarter) and they will let you know what is going on. Posting here will also help elucidate what others should expect

Yeah I sent an email off to Stewart at Mantic a couple of days ago but haven't had a reply. Probably on holiday (that would be nice wouldn't it?)

I'll update if anything happens

Email back from Stewart today. He's got a new email so he didn't check his old account till today. Sending my boxes out today, so everything is a-ok.

For future reference if people have any queries the email is
stewart.gibbs@manticgames.com

I pitched in for $225 worth of gobbo's, I got a HB rulebook, but it didn't have any names in and was unsigned, I didn't get a signed map either, or any wound counters.

I'm not bothered about the first two being as I am over 30 years old! But I wanted the wound counters, anyone know if they being sent out at a later date?

I believe wound counters were only on some levels and not others, so might want to check the text of the level you chose?

A lot of people seem to be getting the wrong book, but I haven't heard of anyone else not getting the map - I think Mantic are putting this right for people, however - hopefully they can sort you out if you contact them...

Got my stuff today. Pledged 125 level.

Got 4 extra zombies, a few extra orcs, 2 extra mini rule books, and 10 extra dice...

So I have 3 mini rule books, one I printed with the digital, plus the big rule book.

The litho print is signed and so is the book. I am very happy. Everything looks golden

Got my stuff today, 2 extra mini rulebooks and 10 extra dice.

Only have 6 sprues of Zombies which, unless I am mistaken, means I only got 18 of the buggers. Anyone else get shorted on Zombies? I don't want to make them send me 2 zombies, so I'll probably let it go though.

What pledge level did you put in for?

The $125 level with $50 in bonuses to get the $175 goodies.


Automatically Appended Next Post:

The one that came with this:
- Orc Starter Army (10 Gore Riders, 20 Orc Ax Warriors, Orcling Bases)
- Undead Starter Army (20 Skeletons, 20 Zombies and 10 Ghouls)

I look to have everything else, but just have 6 sprues of Zombies which have 3 torsos each as far as I can tell.

Yeah, that's odd as their sprues don't allow them to provide exactly 20 zombies.

However with what you have you can make 20, if you use 1 of the spinal columns and 1 of the "erupting out of the ground" bases - I guess that's what they intended...

Ahh, maybe that's it. In which case, I got 24 zombies. lol

Yeah if you use the exploding from ground bases there is extra zombies there!

I almost have my ghouls assembled. It is kinda nice having simple to put together kits. Not much variety though, but for a large scale game, I am fine with that.

My stuff is still stalled in customs! I'm going just a little crazy waiting..

Just got mine in today! Opened the front door, and there it was. I swear, it was glowing! Time to crumble the walls of Warhammer Fantasy.

Well, my buddies and I tried it today. I'm happy to say we're all switching over to Kings of War. The game is smooth, plays quickly, and is very easy to learn if you know how to play warhammer already. Thumbs up Mantic, you have my group!!

I used to get that a lot in Korea as well, where stuff would come halfway round the world in 2 days and then be stuck 50 miles down the road for 2 weeks... never was the cultural/language divide more obvious than when trying to explain what a bunch of wargaming miniatures were!

When I called customs, the fellow I spoke to figured it out pretty quickly. Collectible figurines are pretty popular here, so I just referred to them in that context. The big hangup was the "Minitatures, etc." description on the mailing label. They apparently needed something more detailed than that. I ended up requesting an invoice directly from Mantic, and then sent it off with hardcopy of the relevant pages from the Kickstarted website. Hopefully that will satisfy them...

Well hopefully the customs guys in Japan are less Stasi-like than their S Korean equivalents! The classic one for me was thinking I had lost a parcel that had been sent to me, only for it to randomly turn up after I had feared it lost some 6 months later. Apparently the reason was that they needed to check that its contents (a couple of pairs of socks and a t-shirt) were not intended for sale illegally! This in one of the bastions of counterfeit clothes production..

The mailman acme by while I was at work today. I have to go the post office, pay ￥1200,and then get to walk out with a big box of stuff! Yay!

Curiosity question...how much is that in US dollars, if you know? I assume that symbol stands for Yen, but I thought I'd ask. Is that a lot for the charge? If it is the Yen, my only experience was in a movie where 20,000 Yen was said to be about $200 US (movies=/=fact). So by that standard, this would be...$12? Maybe?

The current exchange rate is about 78 yen to the dollar, so it works out to be $9.38. In fact, this whole Kickstarter package (in fact, all four that I have backed this year) have been dirt cheap, relatively speaking. Even with international shipping and customs duties figured in, I'm paying 2/3 of Japan prices. In fact, I have had to take an oath (to myself) to stop buying minis, because they are too cheap not to.
