I wasn't aware of this game until Tim @ Ctrl-Alt-Del did a write up on it, and I immediately fell in love. I wish I could've gotten everything as cheap as the backers, but I'm still happy to pay the retail prices for everything. I can't wait for these expansions

I regret skipping three or four of the expansions, because now that the game has proven soooo good, I wish I had it all. Meanwhile, those retail prices are terrifying. :-p

So I know this is premature, but does anyone have any insights as to integrating expansions? Can we throw them into existing campaigns, or do we need to start fresh? Likewise, can multiple expansions be used at once?

Speculation based on previews etc.- many have multiple modes of play, I'm betting some are campaign variants (and mutually exclusive) but that you can combine them and can't change an existing campaign to use them.

Gorm appears to replace the white lion
Lion God appears to be some sort of result of lion fights
Dragon and Sunstalker have campaign variants
Dung beetle, slender man, and spidicules have extended gear sets so are huntable
Flower knight's complexity suggests nemesis
Manhunter is a result of hunt events

Hopefully before that he'll finally put out those instructions for all of the models.

Don't count on it :/

Still doesn't have instructions for the core.

Build instructions for all the Core Game models can be found here: http://vibrantlantern.com/

It is a fan site, but has been recommended by Poots.

It's still sloppy.

Sloppy as in the Vibrant Lanter instructions are poor or as in Poot's not having the official stuff ready to go?

Not having the official stuff ready to go.

You missed a bit - namely - "in my opinion"

I didn't end up getting Slender Man or the Lonely Tree, and am now sad.

Re: vibrant lantern, both sloppy and not very well done IMHO (it's nice that they did it, but there are definitely mistakes, and they should've done it right if they did it at all, since disseminating misinformation, fan-based or not, is problematic).

Well, I've already told my group that I wouldn't be sticking anything extra together until the proper instructions are released. Plus we're already quite a ways ahead in the campaign, so may as well save them for a new one later down the road or go completely off the rails and just play it like big damn heroes game they want it to be.

I've found most of the models go together pretty intuitively. There are some small bits and bobs that are head scratchers (butcher, the hand, and ALL the hands on the phoenix). Building custom survivors (white lion armor with beast knuckles, for ex) goes together really smooth. Not looking forward to having to figure out how to build all the models from these expansions, as well as buying the expansions =\. Why did I have to learn about this game so late?

“Just spoke to the EU shippers. A few packages have left and they aim to have shipped em all by the end of next week. Its close!”

Taken from the KS Comments. Seems people in the US are now starting to receive the Wave 3 Expansions, EU backers should start to receive theirs next week.

So, is this the kind of game where people would be interested in buying the non-miniature components? Like, say someone had an incoming Dragon King expansion and only wanted the minis...would there be a market for the tiles, chits, cards or whatever crap is leftover? The Dragon King's Danny Devito so to speak?

I'm sure there totally would be a market for all the non miniature components.

Board Game Geek has been awash with complaints about wanting a non-mini version of the game so they don't have to shell out the cash that everyone else does.

You will ABSOLUTELY find a buyer.

People break apart Zombicide boxes and sell for profit, so you should be able to sell KDM bits and parts for profit.

Not sure for other US backers but my shipping was delayed some by the recent storm in the mid west. Not sure if this may delay others going out or not.

argh-- still haven't gotten any shipping notice even.

Didn't get one either, but the box still showed up today, out of nowhere.

Nice. I hope I'm here when it gets delivered. Last time a small woman had to bear hug my KD:M package off her truck; only glad I was in my garage with the door open so I could prevent damage to both her and my merchandise.

Decided to have a go at the Green Knight armour kit:



Swapped the head for something from the unarmoured sprue, plus added in a rapier from the Flower Knight sprue.

Chances of this model seeing action are slim to nil due to the requirements for wearing this armour, but I love it, probably my second favourite out of the entire experience to date, with the first place still going to the Twilight Knight.

Dame Alison rocks,

and your flower knight armour looks sweet too

I wish mine would hurry up and arrive!

I'm praying that mine turns up at work on monday so I can read the books in peace while away on business for a few days

So. My nice little box of awesome arrived yesterday, but this has introduced a slight problem... How do people plan on storing the card decks longer term, because it is certainly very tight getting everything into the box... and we still don't have all the KS expansions out yet* Over time it is going to become a pain trying to pull out individual packs of cards :/

*Or the expansions that we've heard about in the pipeline

Yeah, came across the same problem myself last week. We may just have to invest into another box or something to keep the monster decks in.

I was contemplating trying to design an mdf insert to replace the current try and see if it can be made more efficient. Simplest way would be to take the rows all the way to the edge of the box and remove all the little partitions. The other option are lots of card boxes to mark up with the different card types instead of a tray. Not sure about boxes for the smaller cards though.

I think it needs more divider cards too as I don't appear to have one for fighting style and the hunt events could do with breaking up a bit as not all of them are basic.

On a different note, if anyone has a spare set of Spidercules left/right legs 2 (the ones that go just behind the massive hands), I have a spare set of left/right rear legs I can trade?

Anyone else have only 33 AI cards for the Slenderman the rulebook lists 34 but I have 32 AI cards and 1 Basic Action card

EDIT never mind I have 34 after all Gloom Man/Path of Gloom is a double faced card I hadn't realised it is an AI card as well.

Pledge arrived and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get the Dung Beetle, Slenderman and lonely tree!
