We filled an entire shipping container /just/ for the backers? Epic.

**RiTides**

Yeah I'm proud

. That's good work!

**Mathieu Raymond**

I disagree. The container is not filled. There was still space on top for extra goodies for all of us patient KS backers. :-)

**Scottywan82**

Must have now!

**Makaleth**

That is a lot of plastic titans!!

I'm going to be honest. I really don't care if retails preorders are put up before backer copies ship or not. I didn't fund this to get my toys before everyone else. I did it because I believe in the project and want to see it succeed.

Qft, but none of the stores around me carry wgf, so I'd like to get mine and assemble it and see if they will display them just to get more people involved. Would love to see the next kickstarter explode with hundreds of new backers. I'm sure mark would like it too.

Ill agree as well. As cool as it will be to have in hand, it will be a while before my Leviathan gets worked on, I just dont have time for a project that size right now, and I want to do it right. However, Ill probably do up the bonus goodies pretty quick.

**RiTides**

The timing of this could be excellent, as I may have just gotten an airbrush by the time they arrive... I want to try to do these minis justice!

No, it's definately 28mm scale. If it had been Epic, we'd have probably filled one box!

:

Mind you, filling a container like that is also not that hard when each Leviathan is a box 12"X10"X10".

Mark, any idea when said Leviathans are going to hit Blighty's shores?I'm thinking I ought to be expecting contact from the (Expletive Deleted) Customs sometime mid February, is this a reasonable expectation do you think?

**Theophony**

I'd like to know when wgf is going to have these on their site to sell. I was a backer I would just líos yo order more.

**miniholic**

WOAH!!!

Have looked at the Dreamforge website and found this in the Blog!!!

Can't wait to hold my Stormtroopers in my greedy hands!

**MrMoustaffa**

Man I should have bought some of those heavy weapons. Those gun shields are awesome.

I think your right, assuming they hit Utah the last week of January... We will have about a weeks worth of shipping from WGF and about ten days in transit, so mid to late February sounds correct.

Yep, my blog is the best place to look for updates, I try to keep on top of communications through that site.

Thank you

I hope they will be available for some time to come, so you should be able to pick them up whenever your ready.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Just tell us when and where Mark.

It says something that we don't even have our first set of models in hand and we all want more XD

**H.B.M.C.**

I'm guessing the 15mm Leviathans won't have quite as many pieces?

**Theophony**

Inventory at my work is feb. 13th, valentines day feb 14 th. if these arrive before then I will be unemployed and divorced.

Still can't wait

**tyrant of loserville**

Im gonna go to town on that flash! I predict a huge wave of Stormtrooper gallery submissions this spring.

**Krinsath**

For those who don't get KS emails or follow the blog (both good ideas!):

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/500504.page

Some of the mold lines look troublesome, but overall still yummy and delicious.

EDIT: on the topic of the 15mm leviathans, I *believe* (key word) that Mark said it's the same model in terms of parts, just 1/2 size. Whether that includes screws and such I don't know though.

EDIT2: Mark snuck in a news post so...

**KalashnikovMarine**

I love that Neo Sergeant with the duel SMGs XD

**washout77**

Loving the stuff here!

Just one question, when are we looking at public release? I missed out on the Kickstarter sadly, and can't wait to get my hands on them. Sorry if it was posted somewhere, I looked through but couldn't find it (well, not all 91 pages....but quite a few). Also, if they come with "special weapons" to add even more variety (although it looks like I can make every soldier look different at this point, I love individuality among my men so more options the better) or work with various game systems that would be awesome. Again, I looked but no dice haha

**ski2060**

Mark has said that WGF will be distributing to shops as soon as the KS backers orders have been fulfilled.

There is a shipment of first wave models going out right behind the KS backers models.

Soo if you're in the US, figure on February to reach stores.

**Andrew1975**

So when should I start looking for the delivery man!

First or second week of February? I will update here and my blog when they start heading out the door

**miniholic**

Now that is great news!!

Thanks for keeping us informed, makes the waiting time easier.

**Mathieu Raymond**

No it doesn't!

**miniholic**

Oh, ok, you have been one of those kids that couldn't for X-mas to come, because you dearly wanted your present!

And i bet i will have to wait longer than you!

**Buzzsaw**

Ooooooh, here it comes, here it comes!

The shipment has made it to port!
Update #86 · Jan. 22, 2013 · comment

The cargo container has arrived at the Port of LA and will be making its trip to WGF Utah as we speak.

At this time I would like to make a couple of suggestions if I may. WGF Utah will be printing packing lists over the next couple of days in order to expedite the process. In order to make sure that your pledge rewards arrive at their destinations; (your door step) you will want to follow these easy steps.

1. If you have moved, please update WGF with your new address by emailing them at dfg@wargamesfactory.net so they have your correct shipping address. We will need this ASAP! as they will be finalizing this information early this week.

2. Add the following emails to your contacts list (in whatever email program or mail provider you are using) to make sure that your spam filters do not block the tracking emails of your delivery. We had a problem with some email providers blocking or listing as spam the emails sent from WGF, this step should resolve most of those issues.

The emails you should add to your contacts list:

dfg@wargamesfactory.net

shipping@wargamesfactory.net

Thank you again! I hope to post another update soon letting you know that we have begun shipping.

Cheers,

Mark Mondragon

Can't wait! Hopefully they won't be held up by customs for too long. Then a couple day trip up to WGF, and packing.

Soo.. First week of February?

Looking forward to getting my Leviathan put together and painted up in a nice 44/45 German Ambush camo scheme.

**precinctomega**

I was thinking of trying to minimize the "German" look with some sort of urban camouflage scheme.

**ski2060**

I'm planning on using mine in Secrets of the Third Reich 1949, so the ambush camo will fit the rest of my Germans.

I'll be picking up Shadowkesh when they come out for my IC army.
