I don't even think they did that, miniholic. People have been receiving their stuff in dribs and drabs.

My best advice is this: First get out of the water. What are you doing, swimming with sharks?

Second, I hear there are fine microbrews in Germany. Get one. Then sit down and practice your painting skills on an inferior mini (second GW works best). That way, you'll be in tip top shape to properly lavish those beauties.

Just trying some levity here, people.

As i already said: You're great at keeping ones spirit up!
Brewery: visited tonight:
Painting second (third) class merchandise: Rogue Trader Rhino's galore for 2nd Coy

See, was already practicing!

11lbs of plastic on the way! My email was also UPS!

My box (20 troops and extras) arrived today.

Shipped on the 5th and arrived today in CA, so three days.

Not sure when I'm going to get a chance to build any of it...

Honestly, I'm not expecting anything until March. Canada Customs can hold the most trivial items for a long time.

At that point, though, it'll make waiting for Waves 2 and 3 more bearable, because I'm hoping those won't be too far behind schedule, and the slow shipping(into Canada, not from Utah, no blame in my mind for WGF) will hide most of that.

Waiting for me at home!

Just some first impressions when opening up the boxes:

1) The box is awesome. Great printing and high quality cardboard. Not cheap and flimsy.

2) All the sprues were stacked then sealed in a plastic bag. I liked that touch as nothing is flying around.

3) holy crap that detail. I may have to buy a new sprue cutter because I feel dirty if I touch these models with my tainted pair (used to cut GW)

4) the instructions for the stormtroopers is kind of difficult to understand at first.

Hmmmmm There was some debate that the new inserts may not make it in time, I have been out of contact with Paul all week but if you are saying the insert is confusing it sounds like it did not make it to the WGF distribution center in time.

Can you confirm for me if you have these?

Twenty man Stormtrooper Set



Ten man Rifle Squad



Accessory set




Support weapons set

Hey Mark, my 10 man box had the insert, except it didn't have the line drawings of the miniature assembly (but it DOES have the color-coded sprue pic). No huge deal, there is a computer render showing assembly on the back.

Also, Ada says, "Look out boys and girls - that teeny crotch armor piece is a beast to find if you drop it on the floor!"

Didn't you get a sword blade for yours? I got one for mine.

Man, I can't believe I passed up a Slaughterbrute for all this. Slaughterbrute's four dollars less, too.

That is the one they put in the box in China, before we revised it..... Did you only get the ten man? I need to confirm that the other inserts are or are not in the boxes...

Yes! Thank-you, it was at the bottom of the box and I had missed it, it was about to be thrown out with the trash.

Oh my, that would have sucked.

Augh, getting so jealous . Looks sweet!!

I finally got my email from UPS! I felt like a kid waking up and realizing it's Christmas morning. I think the last several days of other people posting that they had already gotten their email (or stuff) only made my late(r) email all the sweeter!

So stoked. If everything is as great as everyone is saying, then I will be saving my pennies for MORE DreamForge, and LESS Games Workshop.

I got the twenty-man box and all it came with was a sheet with the color-coded arms on the sprue. There were no detailed line drawings explaining what the numbers were for.

I'm glad you put up that picture, though. It makes the color coded picture more clear in which pairs of arms produce which poses.

Everything is looking great, love those instructions you linked Mark.

Thanks everyone, I am just trying to figure out what did and did not make it into the KS shipments as far as the inserts are concerned...

Did anyone get a support weapons set? Was the insert as shown her?

Does the insert for the Accessory set look the same as the one shown here?

Thanks again!
Mark

So people are getting there goodies on their door steps and I've still not received any shipping notice, how long unit I should start worrying?

Probably after the 18th since Mark notified everyone that they started to ship on the 4th and estimated that the entire process would take 7 to 14 days.

Yep, sadly only the 10 man for now.

Hi Mark,

My 20 man box only has the color coded sheet with four sprue diagrams.

Tim

On overtime early this morning and decided to use the works PC to check my e-mails. Glad I did, shipping notice has arrived for 20 man set, accessories, and a Leviathan.

will check the tracking number early next week to give them time to get it on the system - it's not going to be here before then, that's for sure.

Hope everyone else gets theirs before long, but I now can't wait. I'll be part way through painting a zombie(cide) invasion when these get here!

Edit: Yes that does mean that they will immediately be relegated whilst I paint and assemble my 20 troops and Leviathan.

Eleven pounds of plastic should be arriving for me tuesday!

Ahhhhhhh~ I'm gonna have to start assembling a Leviathan immediately.

There's no other recourse.

I got everything shown in the pic I quoted above as well as the Excalibur blade, not shown. And, looking over my pledge manager email, that's everything for me from this Kickstarter.

Ok so yeah, my package showed up today. I've got stormtroopers, ada, and the accessory packs. If yound like to see anything in particular, put up a request and I'll do my best to fufill it sometime today (got to go do some work)

Oh yeah, and for people saying "oh man, look at all that wasted space, blah blah blah", wait until you see the accessory sprue

@MrMoustaffa
Hmm, a few close-ups of the contents of that leviathan custom cooling stacks box and a small 'unboxing' for that weapon arm box (as a taste of what's to come!) would be awesome.

Oh, and a pic or two of the alternative sword

This is excruciating! I have to wait until Wednesday for UPS to deliver my 6lbs of Leviathan goodness!

aarrrrggggg

Has anyone who ordered multiple deviations and large quantity 60+ troopers gotten their confirmations yet? Could be their looking for boxes big enough to ship those in

Sucks you have to wait so long!

The 20 man does not have the proper instructions, just a picture of color coded sprues.

The accessory kit had the proper instructions.

That is all I got until shipment 3 though (for now!!)
