In theory it's (just) finished shipping but there are still US and RoW backers in the comments asking where their stuff is

**Dentry**

Deke posted some in progress pictures of Doctrine models being painted here.

**Wehrkind**

Are they all armed with lacrosse sticks? Seems like they might be drifting a little close to the danger zone with that.

It'd be a bigger concern if they were ping pong paddles.

Paging Kenny Loggins. Kenny Loggins, please contact the office.

**RiTides**

Motion to begin referring to this game as "Restic Knights". Is there a second?

Credit to Piston_Honda for the idea here. Hilarious, and appropriate

**Sinful Hero**

I second the motion Rhode Island, but I still feel we should wait until the models are in hand before passing final judgement on quality.

**cincydooley**

I love it. But yeah, I will also wait to see them in hand before I bend the knee for restic knighthood

**Alpharius**

Motion DENIED.

I think the term "Restic Knights" should be the name of our new group - a group of like-minded individuals who band together to rid the world of the evil that is...Restic.

Of at the very least, warn as many unsuspecting innocents away from restic as possible.

**Piston Honda**

Restic Knights-

Blood. Swearing. Regret.

Isn't that like naming your anti-STD group "Syphilis Knights"?

Sounds more like we would be crusading for restic, not to purge it.

**Dentry**

Restic Knights is fitting.

Like "Death Company" the name Restic Knights lets all know of the order's terrible affliction: a group of knights suffering the pains of an unholy concoction, perhaps in penitence for past hubris.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

The credit for the Candy Heart mini has now shown up in my Soda Pop store account

(quite a few have seen it come in as 2 separate deposits so don't be confused it that happens to you)

**Bioptic**

I wonder what happens to those who don't have an account?

Also, Deke promised that he'd have a solution for EU backers on the shipping issue here, but I've no idea what it is.

**DaveC**

They will create new accounts using your KS email as the log in for anyone who doesn't have an account.

Mine showed up in my account this morning in 2 lots you should have a total of 1500 ninja points 1 point = 1 cent.

It can be used for anything in the store or in the SDE:FK PM. No word on non US shipping though.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I'd imagine they're waiting to get a firm commitment from an EU based distributor for Relic Knights and SDE (now they are not being handled by CMON),

and hoping that said distributor will agree to handle bringing in a bunch of the Candys to post out as sealed, addressed packages (or perhaps for sale)

I suspect I'll use mine to add something from Forgotten King I would not otherwise have got and actually buy Candy with cash if they get things sorted out

**Bioptic**

Yes, for SDE backers, using the credit on that looks like the more sensible option - no extra shipping woes, and Kickstarter prices! A single 28mm Relic Knights model, or (for an additional $5) 12 adorable slimes and 6 giant double-sided game boards.

I've only just had a chance to look at those Doctrine initiates - they're a bit horrifying! Microskirted legs disappearing into giant knee-foot cones. Baggy yet strangely skintight trousers with a bare torso/sweater vest/waistcoat combo. I'm going to have less reservations about chopping up/puttying these things, to see what I can do.

Exactly.

We know what we're hunting, and there can be no rest until it is dead and gone.

All of it!

Also, I'm OK with a better name, if one presents itself!

**RiTides**

I'm happy for the term to be a "catch all" for the support / crusading group, games that fit the description, etc! But I agree that it fits the group best

Restic knights of the soft-detailed, mold-lined, not-quite-round table

Will make an Alcoholics Anonymous type thread in discussions later today unless someone beasts me to it

. The first step on the road to recovery is acknowledging you have a problem.

**Alpharius**

I am 100% seriously not kiddingt when I say a group like that will be VERY helpful.

I mean, there are Kickstarters going on RIGHT NOW that I need to be talked out of!

DRAKERYS is using PVC!

BUT IT LOOKS SO NICE!!!

(Resin Masters, painted)

HELP!

I'm sure everything will look great! :^)

**Dais**

It is a clever name but honestly if there is a group against PVC plastic we need to put an end to the term "restic" as well. Makes us seem uninformed and far less credible when we rally against something and don't even use the proper term.

**Alpharius**

Er, I was under the impression that we weren't going to 100% SRS BZNS and more tongue in cheek with this group?

**Krinsath**

The HIPS-lar Order? Symbol of a red polystyrene molecule on a white field?

Spoiler:

**Wehrkind**

I'd wear that on a t-shirt. I currently have a caffeine molecule on my coffee mug in fact, so it would go nicely!

Although I am partial to resin, good old, reliable, hand poured resin.

**RiTides**

Restic Knights Anonymous group started here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/599178.page#6907339

Join me, brothers, as I have joined my mentor Piston Honda. Help hold me accountable whenever I am tempted to start down the road of restic addiction again. And I will do the same for you, if only you will come forward, and admit that you have a problem.

I have taken the first step on the road to recovery. I hope that I will not be alone.

Quick post from Deke on the $15 it could take up to 10 days before you see it especially if you don't have an existing account

Couple answers to your questions:

Credits cannot be combined. They are one per backer, per account.

The account and credit is being applied to the e-mail address you supplied Kickstarter. Once you have the account you can change you default e-mail address if you wish in your account settings.

If you do not have a Soda Pop account you do not need to create one, we will do that automatically as part of the process. Please don't create one now!

The credit can be applied to anything in the Soda Pop Store, including the eventual Forgotten King Kickstarter items. (Even if you missed out on the Kickstarter!)

We have started processing the credits, but are doing them in batches of 100 (sadly the max allowed by our store) so they are taking some time to go through and will be happening over the course of the next 7-10 days. I will post when we are done.

**Joyboozer**

I got mine straight away, I was supposed to be getting a refund!

**Dentry**

Hah! You thought you were getting what you wanted?

**AlexHolker**

It's sad, but I'm glad I dodged this bullet. I love the idea of the Circi Racers, and love it even more now that I play Neon Strike Vi in League of Legends and have watched Redline. But those faces- sorry, unfaces!
