Compared with the recent 'small' companies delivering mostly UK packages, they're heaven incarnate

Funny though; US backers and EU backers are receiving their stuff in generally the same timeframe. Was GameSalute actually savvy enough to post EU stuff first? that doesn't jive with a lot we've heard of their business practices

Do you happen to know when they expect to have everything shipped out?

No, but I'll ask. I hate making assumptions with them because whenever I do I'm wrong, but I would assume that since a lot of folks are getting their stuff now, everyone should be getting their orders this week or next at the latest. Not including tomorrow with the holiday though.

The last week or so I've noticed that the USPS has been pretty slow, most likely from the backlog from the holidays.

I hope my stuff shows up today.

**Necros**

me too

**Bolognesus**

Well it was only 250 backers; you can't *possibly* run a warehouse with guys who can't fulfill 110 of this kind of pledge in a day with three of them and expect to not go down in flames within a year so I can't imagine they wouldn't have it all shipped. Then again, if they're as... peculiar... as was suggested, well

Not that I'm going to be able to paint it anytime soon..... I unfortunatly have to much stuff ahead of it

**Necros**

Right now I'm balancing doing demo terrain for the game, painting demo figs, a new Necron megaforce I just had to buy, and then Sedition Wars and my Dreamforge leviathan right around the corner, and the newer Dust Tactics starter set, and a small Khador army. Then there's my half done lizardmen and night goblin armies.. never enough time and cool new stuff keeps coming out :(

Cyporiean and Miskatonicalum package all of On the Lamb Games models. They're a two person operation. And they've managed to get their stuff shipped out

Many were an afternoon where one of them would say, "brb gonna go pack things" and leave me with EFT class creation.

Necros, glad people are getting your stuff, hopefull the second KS goes quicker

**Catyrpelius**

I need to paint up one of every box for the Prussians and FSA for Dystopian Legions and learn how to play it by the first week in february. I need to build a Mega Battle Board for Brushfire by the first week in febuary plus build and paint as many of my models for that game as I can. Then I need to finish all the new SDE stuff by the end of febuary and try and get Sedition Wars done as well. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak in some BWG...

**Bolognesus**

I just had a chat with Game Salute's warehouse boss. All but 17 orders have been shipped. The last few will go out on Wednesday Jan 2. Shipping companies have stopped for the day due to the holiday, so Game Salute will get the rest sent out Wednesday morning. Some of you have even been getting your orders already

However, a one last little issue, those last 17 orders were held back because the warehouse ran out of buildings kits. Need to order more from GameCraft and it may take a couple of weeks to get them. So what's going to happen is Game Salute is going to send the orders out as is. If you get your minis, and the buildings you ordered aren't there, rest assured that Game Salute will send the buildings out separately as soon as the new batch arrives. No additional shipping fee either We decided to split those few orders into 2 shipments just because you've all been waiting so long and it wouldn't be right to make you wait a whole 2-3 more weeks while everyone but you is getting their minis.

Thank you all for your patience, we're finally almost done for real this time

Tim

Smart. Builds a little goodwill that GS might be lacking in, again. Right call!

**temprus**

I got KS1's set today which means it probably arrived Saturday. Glad I saw note about looking in the foam nuts for the extras. I like the box, especially how each side shows a different picture. Since the minis were bagged, I liked the foam inserts rather than a plastic tub. The minis each have a minor vent or two but no flashing. Well pleased.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Mine arrived in good ole blighty today, so cheers Necros.

Will be putting them together asap. Look very good up close, and like the quick start rules.

Will need to get a book once its out, I appreciate the free PDF, but I like to have a physical copy to hand.

**RiTides**

They must have shipped the international boxes first, then. Good call

(although it would've made sense to say so

)

**Todosi**

I still haven't even received my pledge survey email. :(

**Necros**

From the new campaign? it hasn't been sent yet. It's not going to be the generic Kickstarter survey, they're building a special pledge manager website that will be better for handling add-on items and shipping. Right now they're focusing on getting the original campaign finished up so I'm assuming the pledge manager emails will go out soon. No real rush at the moment though, since we still haven't even finished sculpting yet

We might have a few extra dice left over at the end If so we'll sell the extras to backers only, till they're gone. Won't know till everything is shipped out though, and I want to keep a handful for myself for demos

Please let me know, Id like to get 10-15 more.

**BrookM**

FedEx man just dropped off my box, it's all there.

**Todosi**

Ah! I misunderstood. Color me embarrassed and thanks for the info.

**MagickalMemories**

Every day that goes by, I get more and more jealous of those who have received their stuff.
I only ordered models, and I'm chomping at the bit to get started painting them.

Mine arrived today, and it had my buildings! I was convinced I was one of the dread 17 whose building would be delayed... for once I was not on the short list for crap to happen! YAY!

The minis are really nice, as are the cards, though a couple of the cards look like they were shifted up a bit when cut (so the top is cut short). But, all info is there. Minis have lots of character and detail looks really good.

The buildings are fantastic... I'm going to actually build them tonight, because they look great and also look easy to assemble!

**Necros**

here's the official word from Game Salute

**Catyrpelius**

All of my stuff arrived yesterday, it wasn't a plesent suprise.

I got to give you credit, you may have been a bit behind in your delivery but what you delivered was very nice. The models are amazing and the buildings are fantastic.

I'm not sure I'd recommend continuing with the battlefoam foam things. They are a nice touch but I'm just going to throw them out.

**BrookM**

Only thing missing was Lee's rifle, but I fixed that with a spare bandolier from Victoria miniatures.

Some of the minis are a pain to assemble and take quite some cleaning as flash and vents are in annoying places.

**Necros**

Sorry you were missing the rifle. If you contact Game Salute they can send you the missing piece.

For the foam, we were originally going to have a mini battlefoam tray in the box, that could have eventually been used in a custom sized bag, but the mini trays were too pricey and would have drove up the retail price higher than I wanted it to go. So we just went with the foam sheets. I'd imagine as the line grows and we start producing a lot more we will probably have to change over to something like a clear plastic snap shut box kinda thing, like GW or Privateer used to use, unless the foam ends up being cheaper. Still have to look into it.

**BrookM**

No, I already covered it up with a bandolier.

it was not a pleasant suprise? what made it unpleasant?

I know I got a wrong gang in mine, but Gamesalute is sending me the replacement gang and a label to mail the incorrect one back..

-P

**Necros**

Yeah, there were a couple of hiccups with a couple of orders but luckily it was just a few. Hoping things will go much smoother for the next one

**MagickalMemories**

Where/How do I contact Game Salute? My models from the first Kickstarter still haven't arrived, and I want to be sure they were sent.

Thanks.

Eric

**Necros**

You can call 888--57-GAMES or email warehouse@gamesalute.com
