OOOF LAD on the opps list but very glad to hear it was fun and you've broken no gaming streak!

@BrookM very nice! That helmet does look better than the frog mouth one mine got. That one is my lieutenant. I'd like to be able to tell you that it was a powerful combo, but (to quote Macbeth) nothing in his life became like the leaving it. Charging a Praetor probably wasn't the best idea, but he did knock him down before dying.

I'll try and take a picture of my 'band later. Didn't get them finished but good enough for a casual Saturday game.

I got all three variants back then and I am glad that they're modular because yeah, some helmets just look so much better on the big lads. Still need to find the right head for the lieutenant, who comes with a nice selection.

Speaking of whom, for those wanting a New Antioch lieutenant in machine armour, Westfalia has one up for free over at My Mini Factory! It's a modular build with various options included, including pistol, sword, halberd, shotgun and a variety of heads.

Also, modular cultists!

@BrookM the lieutenant model is lovely. Irritatingly I had already printed and painted the other one. Didn't realize the size difference between the lieutenant and the infantry in MA until yesterday when I saw my mate Dave's RB-he's tiny by comparison.

Here is my little warband (shotgun guys didn't get used, they were a calculation error...)

Not finished by a long way, but enough paint for a Saturday morning game to not feel ashamed. I have started printing everything 7-10% bigger than the standard as got fed up of breakages that won't glue back together, so all gaming minis now bigger and in tough resin. Definitely worth it.

Project Update #68: Trench Crusade by Factory Fortress INC wrote:February shipping update

Hi Crusaders, we have a new shipping update for you!

EU, UK and RoW
Green Logistics have now sent us a full report on book shipment progress, and apologized for the time it took them to get back to us.

99% of books destined for the EU, the UK and RoW have now all been shipped. Those who were affected by the FedEx shipping error (where packages were returned to sender) now have new tracking numbers and packages have been resent.

We now have access to all tracking numbers, so if you are a backer in the EU, the UK or a RoW destination and have still not received a tracking number or your package, please reach out to us at customer.support@trenchcrusade.com and we will look into it for you.

Replacements
Now that the vast majority of packages have been sent, Green Logistics are moving on to replacements and have started packing them up for delivery. If you contacted us asking for a book replacement, it should be shipping out very soon! As a reminder, if your book arrived damaged, you can reach out to us at customer.support@trenchcrusade.com with photos and we will do our very best to help.

USA and Canada
Baron of Dice have been doing an absolutely heroic job of getting books delivered: one third of the 15,000 pledges have already been sent!

It is a truly massive undertaking, and Baron of Dice have informed us that they are receiving hundreds of emails every day from backers asking where their books are. We know that the wait is frustrating, but please only reach out to Baron of Dice if you absolutely have to! Having to handle so many emails is slowing their team down, and will only make the wait even longer.

They have assured us that address change requests will be honored, even if you did not get a reply from them. Of course, if you have an urgent request you need help with, you can of course reach out.

You can expect your tracking email to be sent from tracking@shipstation.com , so keep an eye on your Spam folders!

Replacements
We asked Baron of Dice to take extra care when packing up your books, but if your book arrives damaged, please reach out to us at customer.support@trenchcrusade.com with photos and we will do our very best to help.

We hope to be back soon with a new update for you.

Yikes...

Wonder how easy it will be to integrate this all into the book I just got in the mail last week?

**warboss**

Super easy... barely an inconvienence. Just bust out the Elmer's and scissors and you're golden! :(

Project Update #69: Trench Crusade by Factory Fortress INC wrote:All books have been shipped!

Greetings Crusaders,

We have a new shipping update for you!

USA and Canada
Baron of Dice informed us this morning that all packages to the USA and Canada have now been shipped.

However, about 1000 books have only just been sent out, so if you still haven’t received yours, you don’t need to worry: books in transit can take around 10 days to arrive, especially to Canadian addresses.

As a result, most of you who still do not have your books should receive them this week!

If you still have not received your book by Monday March 2nd, please reach out to Baron of Dice at support@baronofdice.com and they will help track down your order. We know that a certain number of backers have received their packages without ever having received their tracking information. Baron of Dice has apologized for the issues with emails getting blocked or bounced, but rest assured that even if you did not receive a tracking email, they will get your delivery to you.

EU, RoW and the UK
All shipments to the EU, RoW and the UK are now complete, with some replacement books still scheduled to go out.

However, we are still working with Green Logistics to track down the final packages that were mishandled by FedEx and whose tracking information seems to be stuck in limbo. This is taking far more time than it should, as FedEx has been extremely slow to get back to us.

At this point, we have asked Green Logistics to simply ship the missing books again. If FedEx do eventually deliver the first package and you end up with two books, consider it a gift from us as an apology for the long wait!

If you are still waiting on your book and have not reached out to us already, please send us an email at customer.support@trenchcrusade.com

Blood & Iron - Stretch Goal
Now that we’ve delivered the minis and books, we’ll be moving our focus to fulfilling the remaining stretch goals from the campaign!

The first of these is Blood & Iron, a short story by the legendary Graham McNeill! The story is included in the Trench Crusade rulebook, but we promised it in digital format too, so here it is! You can download it as an epub or a PDF using the links given here.

We’ll be back soon with more information on the remaining Stretch Goals!

~~Bit weird that the Prussian Yeoman troops box isn't mentioned anywhere, it was supposed to release alongside them.~~

Yeoman set has been pushed back until the end of May..

It's just the angle and paintjob, but it looks like the second sniper priest is wearing shades!
