Well, correctly and/or intuitively numbering them. Why those horrible hands didn't start at one end and end at the other, I have no idea.

When I built my Phoenix it dawned on me that in all likelinessthe reasoning was along the lines of "feth you and feth your logic!" or something.

**spiralingcadaver**

Ha!

Yeah, it's really, just, kinda' lame. No idea why there aren't renders somewhere that have it broken down where even if it's not the most elegant, it at least shows how things go together. Better than a regularly wrong fan guide.

**BrookM**

Oh man, I hate the spare head sprue, another one that should've HAD fething NUMBERED PARTS. Instead of just labelling the arms, why not go all the way..?

**Breotan**

Ars Technica has a rather glowing review.

Lots of pictures.

**JohnHwangDD**

Plus, expansions are restocked in the store.

The lack of instructions is one of the most disappointing parts of KD- that horrible phoenix, I've assembled three of them, and every time it's like the worst puzzle ever, but in 3D. Also, for anyone building arm sets, some of them don't match the correct #a/#b pairs, so be sure to dry fit them.

So... also a request- does anyone have the decorative insert that came with some of the early monsters? I think the flower knight and lion came with them. I'd be very interested in one.

I used this site a lot although he got some things wrong

So, when is wave 3?

**JohnHwangDD**

Wave 3 (expansions) should have shipped ages ago.

I got my expansions and the fixes quite a while ago.

If you don't have your expansions, you need to contact KD support.

**DaveC**

The Lantern Festival is wave 4 and the last update said TBA September 2016.

Are you referring to the Lantern Festival expansion, or everything else? LF was delayed.

**JohnHwangDD**

I forget that Lantern Festival is Wave 4.

For KD news, sign up for their newsletter. It's not going on KS because there's a lot of non-KS stuff.

**BrookM**

I wonder if we need to pay last-minute shipping for the Festival.

I also wonder if we'll get revised gameplay content for all those extras we got.

Sorry, everyone. I meant wave 4, with the Lantern Festival. This wave business is getting out of hand.

**spiralingcadaver**

Hey, did anyone here get the promo cards? I heard the new arms take a new location/innovation, though was most curious where you make the tabard and thong, as both modify existing sets...

**spiralingcadaver**

Seems as good a place as any on the forums to post this... just wrote a KD strategy guide: article

**ced1106**

Got this in the newsletter: "We will be launching a kickstarter to fund the reprint of Kingdom Death: Monster on Friday November 25, 2016 - Black Friday. I will be offering no details or glimpses, as I prefer to keep it a surprise."

Also:

Plus a cute back to school image, for their intern and one of their game designers:

Why is it that everyone outside of the US is being neglected with these LE models? Its honestly bs and making me not want to invest in this game anymore as a collector.

**BrookM**

Have to uphold them boutique standards somehow.

I don't see why they cant send a shipment out when they restock the expansions to the other warehouses?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

i'm not convinced they have restocked the other warehouses, I fear what they have is just what was send in the single shipment that brought over the KS stuff

**LordRogalDorn**

Lantern Festival expansion is not being completed. Little sad about that, but not entirely surprised it's not being completed.

**spiralingcadaver**

Pretty unhappy with the handling of that. A tone with a lot of excuses and the "hey, to commemorate us failing to deliver, here's a t-shirt to buy" bit was a pretty irritating attitude.

**anab0lic**

Kickstarter Countdown timer is up on the KD website 8 hours till launch at the time of posting this.

**JohnHwangDD**

Wow, it's been a while since anybody posted here.

OTOH, look how awesome the Screaming God Narrative Sculpts look!

http://miniaturestudio.net/portfolio/kingdom-death_screaming-god-armors/

I am so glad the 1.5 Expansions are going to be sculpted.

**Alpharius**

Thank you for posting those here - WOW!

Think we'll get an official pre-GENCON update, or is it more likely that it will be a post-GENCON update?

**JohnHwangDD**

I think Adam wants to do a pre-Gencon Update. Whether he manages to do so while he's busily prepping for Gencon is another matter.

I know a brief thing went up announcing his Gencon booth.

I wonder if he will preview 1.5 at Gencon. I kinda think he has to for Holiday sales.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I'll guess that if some core games arrive such that he can start fulfilment and thus justify selling at gencon we'll get an update

otherwise it will be post gencon

**JohnHwangDD**

I don't know if he will have sale copies of 1.5 at Gencon, but I have to imagine that he will have preview / proof / demo copies of 1.5.

**Bromsy**

I was really hoping that the first round would get out without delays - not too bad I guess but it doesn't bode well.
