There are 3 places where you'll get new releases at retail prices

First sign up to the KD mailing list

http://kingdom-death.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=1f4d6d8b08474b282855b8143&id=bfa2397385

the store restocks every month or two, typically around the middle of the month (although when there's a holiday like Halloween the restock tends to be then). You'll typically see 2-4 new resin minis and 2-4 encores when a restock hits (although if you're not online most may well sell out before you see the email)

second Full Metal Planet in Japan which does get stock on a regular basis (if you can cope with the Japanese language website)

http://fullmetalplanet.biz/shop/kingdom_death/kingdom_death.html


and the final place worth looking at is CMON who sold their stuff before they were a big hit and sometimes stuff shows up there (none in stock at present)

https://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/kingdom-death

there are also a couple of places on facebook

By Lantern's Light https://www.facebook.com/groups/863706623696679/?fref=nf

is the main unofficial KD facebook group although they're trying to direct selling post to the place below you'll still see some temporarily as they get posted (enough time to at least start PMing for a deal)

Kingdom Death Night Market
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1287754827958340/

a KD trading group where some will offer stuff at more reasonable prices (although a fair few will still look to get what the ebay rates are)

The stuff from the KS (all plastic) will go to the normal KD retailers as it comes out with the reprint of the base game now probably Q3 2017.

next reprints of the existing expansions (The Lion Knight is getting 4 extra minis in the reprint so avoid the original for now) set for Q4 2017

then the new content in Q1 2018 and Q1 2019


probably the best resource to see what has been release in the past is http://vibrantlantern.com/ (although it is missing some stuff)

also the sold out tab on the KD store although a bunch of the OOS stuff was taken down during the KS (to avoid confusion/keep some of the more NSFW stuff off the radar?) https://shop.kingdomdeath.com/collections/sold-out

If you do get tempted by stuff on ebay plastics are likely to be real (I've not seen any fake HIPS sprues yet), but there are a lot of recasts of the resins (often priced as the real things)

Real KD minis come with a brown craft box with an image stamped on the front and a business card like small art card (you might also have a numbered COA and a larger postcard sized art card) If you're not offered that it's most likely to be a recast

(the exception are a few rare pieces that came in grab bags one year when Adam cleared out a bunch of miscasts and some stuff he'd decided wasn't good enough for a real release after he's ordered the casts)

oh and the plastics are the closest thing to resin quality in terms of detail that I've come across in a mini, so don't discount them, especially the big monsters where they become more affordable than the $1-200 resins


Wow, this is an amazing post. Thanks so much for all the time you put into it. Exactly what I need. I will go through the links 1 by 1 and also happy to hear some stuff can be expected for retail in Q3 and Q4 of the year. Thanks a lot :-)

Bye bye Dakkadakka, happy hobbying! I really enjoyed my time on here. Opinions were always my own :-)

This is the art for the soda pop mini's twilight knight crossover "possessed twilight knight : oracle of nozuki" from the relic knight 2.0 kickstarter (available on the sodapop store now http://sodapopminiatures.com/relic-knights-2nd-edition-pledge-manager)



the design and sculpting are by the KD crew, but the casting is going to be by Soda Pops casting people, but if the previous cross overs are anything to go by it will be popular

(note don't try and mix anything else from the store into your relic knights KS order as that's not allowed and will lead to your order being canceled)

Will it be playable in KD:M? Same scale? Or scaled for RK2, so unsuitable for KD:M games?

I'm guessing this is resin, yes?

I'll guess it will be similar scale wise since the KD folk are handling the sculpting, and the new RK stuff should be similar height wise

so she'll fit in to KD:M, she'll be resin (although probably not quite such fine resin/casting)

It's less likely we'll get any special rules for her over there but you never know with Adam, he could well get exited and develop something

if not just use her as a female survivor proxy

Unless Soda Pop clarified otherwise...


Just a word of warning-

THE SCULPT WILL NOT BE IN THE SAME SCALE

She's supposed to be Noh (big Oni guys from Relic Knighs) scale, which means she would probably be on at least a 40mm base, if not bigger.

Most of the Noh are on 50mm bases, even the basic minions.

Some comments from Adam over in Kickstarter Land:

Mar 27 2017 on Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5

Our goal is to get Core Game fulfillment underway or finished before Gencon, so that we can bring units for sale. I have no intention of selling Core Games before Backers are shipped theirs. We'll see how it all goes over the next few months tho!


That's some good incentive to move things along!

Apr 6 2017 on Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5

Ah, my communication style is typically to share when there is something significant and worthwhile enough to put together an update. Updates can take a long time to create and I've had to be very "agile" since the campaign ended, attending to many smaller parts of the project and ensuring that everything for our first print deadline was taken care of. Updates will most likely be slow at first as we gear and staff up. Thanks in advance for your understanding.


May 2 2017 on Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5

In all seriousness tho, thanks for your patience! We will have an update when I am ready to share. I needed to be absolutely ontop of the reprint timeline. I do have a growing collection of cool stuff to share!



It might be a while then...

This is not surprising at all. The real saving grace about KD is that Adam puts his nose to the grindstone when gak needs to get done. Fortunately, he does deliver, and he does Update when he can come up for air.

I'd guess, Adam is currently on the critical path to get production underway so that initial samples of 1.5 can be ready to show at GenCon. Once he's able to hand off to production, then he'll be able to catch his breath and show what he's been up to, in another of his epic mega updates.

Did his nose ever grindstone out any word on the Lantern Festival or the King miniature?

WRT Lantern Festival / King, I'll bet he did. And he found that it made far more sense as within the context of something like Abyssal Woods with a $150KS / $200 initial MSRP / $250+ in-shop MSRP. 3-5 years from now, I bet we see Adam KS Lantern Festival / King as something huge, glorious, and hugely expensive.

I had been hoping that this time round he would try and be a bit more regular with the updates, or hand them over to some else, oh well.

At least it'll be huge and epic when one finally arrives.

Who would Adam hand them off to? I think he's practically a 1-man shop of sorts. Although for the revenue he's raised, if he could get a trusted ops manager on board, that would probably be money well spent.

I'm disappointed that he won't sell at GenCon unless pledges go out. This was my first KDM KS and I'd be perfectly fine with him moving product even if mine was delayed. Treating it as a business ensures I'll eventually get more content!

OTOH, loyalty is a two way street: the more a company does to demonstrate that they respect their customers, such as, y'know, when they get a vast interest-free loan, it's probably worth giving backers what they paid for way in advance than act like Prodos and let those people down and try to get money off of new customers. Not saying KD would be run like that, but those are the poles of that spectum.

He's treating it as a business, by taking care of his most loyal and financially-invested Customers first. That's excellent business.

Confirmed (?) in the KS comments section!

Working towards a kickstarter update for May 26th. I will bring everyone up to speed with where we are and what our Wave 1 timeline is looking like.

That Oblivion Mosquito


KDM 1.5 Production Update

Estimated Wave 1 Fulfillment Start: End of August 2017.

Plastic production for the core game and update pack was finished as of April 2017 and we have approved the paper assets for production!



Base Inserts

A lot of you have reached out to me requesting that the base insert packs be added to wave 1 fulfillment. I wanted to let you know that I am trying my best to accommodate what SEEMS like a pretty simple request. Please understand that all the timetables are pretty tight and it is likely I won't be able to do this. I am trying tho!

Expansions

Right now production of the plastic components are underway and I am lining up the schedule so that we can fulfill these for the holidays of 2017. I do not have any dates from the manufacturer yet, but since its a straight reprint, it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces turn around time. So take that date

Card Pack
Ah yes. The ever-elusive card pack! I have slatted this to be available around Jan 2018. If possible I'd like to move it up to coincide with Wave 2 for the holidays. The plan is to sell this via our web store, it will not be available thru backer kit.

Gencon

We will be attending Gencon 2017 as exhibitors! Our Booth will be in the same location as last year and in fact, we got a little bit bigger!

New Developments

Personally I have been hard at work on the content for advanced Kingdom Death monster. The philosophy system has already been thru a host of alpha's and we are looking to start actively testing it's first prototype somewhere in June. It has been extremely satisfying to comb back thru everything and to embellish on the settlements growth via survivor development. The system is leaning more towards survivor's learning and contributing so the curve of powerful survivor's being developed is more in line with the escalation of the game and less of a random development.

Lion God Expansion, Expansion - Silver City
Dungeon romp replaces the hunt phase. Currently have the Lost Knight up and running on the showdown board, but we are going back in and incorporating it's fight experience more into the dungeon delving element of the game.

Inverted Mountain
We are developing all the monsters for the Inverted Mountain campaign at the same time, so we can ensure that its the best campaign arc yet. Insanity is going to play a major role, with certain disorders being prerequisites to innovations, fighting arts and sometimes gear!

That Oblivion Mosquito looks so much more regal than the concept art seemed. I hope the pledge manager opens up again allowing us to up our pledges.

Also, the idea of a KD dungeon crawl with walls and corridors seems exciting.

It was weird getting a dark elf variant before a regular dark elf.

Wish the model had the thick belt around her waist still like in the art. Ain't nothing wrong with scantily clad ladies, but the belt kind of went with her whole look.

Gave me an Arshes Nei (from Bastard!) vibe, who in turn always gave off a Nei (from Phantasy Star 2) vibe. Given Poots' tastes and interests, that probably shouldn't surprise me.

On an Express Elevator to Hell!!

Hey folks - as someone who pledged $1 (the KS coincided with a once in a lifetime holiday - very bad timing!) I have been sent a few reminders. One of these let's me add a KD 1.5 set as an 'add-on' - is this a legitimate way I can get hold of the game, admittedly at a higher price? Has anyone else done likewise?

Alternatively, what are the chances of the core game ever hitting retail at any point? (I know previously chances fall between Slim and none)

Yours desparately,
Pacific

Well the pledge manager is closed, so unfortunately you can't buy anything at all at this point, except hope it opens again at some point in the future. But the core sets will be shipped in august and have already been produced, so you're out of luck for that one I'm afraid. Some people think they might open it before wave 4 (in 2019 I think?) to allow you to buy the new expansions, but that's no help to you. So in short, you'll have to wait for it to be restocked in the KD:M shop. It won't ever hit retail per Adam himself AFAIK.

Has Adam actually said that?

I mean, I don't think it will ever make it to 'retail' either, but it will probably be available on his site, and will probably be the subject of some good sales once or twice a year too...so there's always hope!
