Is there any way to get the core game as a non backer or is that just crazy talk?

It'll show up on Poots' store sooner or later. You can get it then. Or eBay if you're in a hurry and have money to burn.

So just to be clear, only Wave 1 is about to ship, right? I just filled out the shipping payment form but was wondering if there is any update on Wave 2 status.
Edit: Ah, Q1 2018 for Wave 2 now looks like:
 JohnHwangDD wrote: BobtheInquisitor wrote:So wave 1 is just the core game and upgrade?
It doesn't include any expansions, even from the first campaign?
Wave 1 is cores, upgrades and rulebooks, only. No dice or bases. Q4 2017
Wave 2 is existing expansions. Q1 2018.

Has that 'Q1 2018 for Wave 2' actually been stated, or is that just a J.H.D.D. estimate?

Adam had previously stated that there was going to be a rolling 3-month delay to the original schedule, so "Winter 2017" becomes "Q1 2018".

As I said above we do not know, current information is that he thinks he will give it for "free" (given it was promised as part of the upgrade pack anyway) to whoever wants it at a later wave, but it will incur increased shipping cost.

I'll enjoy the journey once I get those miniatures assembled and painted. Maybe sometime in the next ten years. 
Do gamers whose first experience with models is KDM know what they're getting into??

I gotta call you out on that one Bob- maybe not in a starter necessarily, but I've built PLENTY of GW kits that were mislabeled, had labels missing, mixed up... you name it.

Huh. Guess I've been lucky there. And unlucky with the KDM. I haven't worked on my Dragon armor kits since the forearm incident...

I'm guessing proper instructions will never happen then?
Or should I feel bad for even asking and go back to playing with a bucket of green army men as has been suggested in the past?

1) Are there really NO official assembly instructions yet?!?
2) Did someone somewhere really suggest that to you?!?

Same boat on the Dragon Armor. However, I can confirm that quite a few GW kits have mis-labelled parts. Usually though it's on their mono-pose or near-monopose kits so it's more or less "it only goes together one way" and you just bull through it. Most of the KD range is similar, but the Dragon Armor, Phoenix and Watcher stand out as notable exceptions to that idea. It is annoying that proper build directions haven't been put up yet years later in the case of the core game, but it hasn't really dulled my enthusiasm for the product that much. Just kind of a weird thread to leave dangling.

I know from what Adam has said on a podcast that the official painting guides he wanted to do didn't happen as he couldn't get official permission to feature paint range(s) in them
although recently one (I want to say Army Painter but I can't be 100% sure I'm remembering that right) has made positive noises
quite why the reluctance is unclear especially lines that don't have a mini company associated with them
you could speculate that they don't want to be linked to KD (controversial adult themes), that they would want to do official paint sets (I doubt that would fly with Adam), nobody has ever asked permission for this before so they don't know what to say etc

Yeah. Not even the core game monopose models have instructions. Not even the confusing core game monopose models have instructions. Also, they've continually pushed back the promo models' rules from the first KS: there are still something like a dozen models waiting for the rules they were supposed to come with (Soon™). Have fun figuring out where those 20-ish non-slotted hands fit on the phoenix without official guides, because I've assembled like 4 of them, including referencing fan guides on some, and am still sure some are wrong.

Whenever someone brings up instructions to Poots the standard answer is to go to Vibrant Lantern, but I find the instructions provided there woefully inadequate for some of the kits.
And kudos to those who manages to figure out how to do the Phoenix proper, no thanks to KDM itself..

My Phoenix and Watcher are still incomplete due to me having no idea where all the lanterns and hands go on the two of them.
They're my last two monsters I need to get done from the core set too. I refuse to play a partially painted set. May need to finally suck it up and hit VL...

Not only are there no instructions, but many pieces are very small and the survivor kits in particular are difficult to assemble. Aside from the Phoenix being near impossible to get right, some other monsters have pieces that have to be put together in the correct order or won't fit. They're not really for beginners. The more board game people will undoubtedly just stick with the starting survivors and ignore the survivor kits, but might still have trouble with the monsters.
