Poots normally does the black Friday stuff at midnight his time so 5AM GMT. (a little under 8 hours from now)

I just checked last years email and I got it at 5:05 AM GMT

Thanks!

If there's anything in the EU warehouse I should be safe getting up at my normal time of 6am GMT then.

Black Friday sale up now.

They also are sending out emails to reopen the pledge manager

Good bye money.

Grabbed almost everything.

For myself no less.

Armor Kit Bundle looks like a good price for the modellists?

18 sprues x 4 figures per sprue (?) = 72 miniatures for $125.

Poses aren't as dynamic as other KDM miniatures because of the limits due to interchangeable pieces.

Lemme know if my numbers are off so I can correct them!

Is that new?

11 armor kits spread across 18 sprues. Each makes four models except the Lion, which makes 5.

Brain is still processing the enormity of that update.

That update... my god.

Some of the expansions look a lot farther on than I had expected.

Especially all the sculpts. Makes me hopeful quite a bit of it shows up in wave 3, and that's sooner rather than later.

I grabbed an armor kit bundle, but I gotta say I'm very impressed by the narrative sculpts.

Totally flipping that storm knight and berserk looking dude to help pay for everything else. Absolutely love the Silence figures.

That update was fantastic. And I’m so excited there’s gonna be a Storm Knight expansion at some point.

I got the black Friday ninja finally.

Anybody knows from what expansions the future bundle comes from?

It's awesome that Adam reopened the PM for BF. I'll be adding Death Armor and Black Knight, but am unsure what else I might want to add.

This is a long ask, but does anyone remember the post (or who it was that posted) about a guide for what expansion packs to go for in addition to the main game? Think it was possibly about 30 pages ago although can't find now for looking.

Actually a good question at this point would be, are the expansions necessary, or is there enough game in with that main box for some decent time campaign gaming?

Am shocked to see copies of the main game appear in the store, so will most likely get one before the US wakes up (I assume they will probably sell out at that point).

You don't need any of the expansions. They core game is a lot of content.

Of the original expansions generally the ones people like the best are the different knights as they're easy to work in and can give you some cool cards and equipment to work with.

Outside of those are the Dragon and Sunstalker, they add new start and endgame conditions.

Next are Gorm and Spidecliease (SP?). They just replace a mid level creature. The spider one has the coolest armor set in my opinion.

The lion god is meh but there's an additional expansion, silver city, in this KS that should make it better.

The tree just adds a meh scenario, only get that if you really like it.

I don't know much about manhunter or slenderman, have them but never really used them. They're scenarios like the knights and the tree but I'm not sure where I'd place them.

Might have some luck digging through BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/spsearch.php?objectid=55690&objecttype=thing&q=expansion+recommendation&searchauthor=&searchfield=all&displayresults=excerpt&B1=Submit

So where are you guys at? Originally I had

Gamblers Chest - no-brainier at the insanely cheap $100
Dragon King - supposed to be the best big campaign expansion , it’s either this or sunstalker campaign (can’t see myself needing both big campaigns+Abyssal Woods), and the dragon mini just craps all over the sunstalker
Spidicules - supposed to be just ok, but required for abyssal Woods
Dung Beetle Knight - most people say this is the best medium-sized expansion
Flower Knight - amazing mini, gives great gear, required for abyssal Woods
Honeycomb Weaver - very cool concept, also gives you a very early monster which is great, and integrates with abyssal Woods
Abyssal Woods - biggest expansion ever, dragon Goblin is the best model I’ve seen for kingdom Death, you get so much stuff and the lore is insane... a required purchase IMO

And I was like, that’s fine that’s so much stuff.! So naturally when the PM reopened I added
Gorm - hate the mini but people say it’s so good and one of the first you should buy
Manhunter - nemesis variety, great reviews
Slenderman - same as above but also replaces kingsman
Nightmare Ram - dungeoncrwaling? Yes please!
Oblivion Mosquito -might be my second favourite mini after dragon goblin, and it’s an early monster so likely to see a lot of play
Death Drifter - need at least one Wanderer expansion so I can use the rules in the Advanced Rulebook

Yeah...

Was there ever a hard date given on the pinups?

I'm guessing we might see some show up in wave 3 perhaps?

Earlier would be greater, but I don't think that's happening...

I originally had

Dragon King - love the model, the expansion is meant to be great and seemed like good value at $75m
Lion God - the model is alright, but I wanted the Silver City expansion expansion so I needed this one.
They were the only two existing expansions I pledged for to start with, as the new stuff was more exciting, I’m a sucker for new stuff.
Abyssal Woods - obviously. The Dragon Goblin is a stunning model, and there’s so much included.
Ivory Dragon - intriguing concept art, I love big monsters.
Screaming God - the model is excellent, as are the narrative sculpts with it.
Nightmare Ram - I almost bought the Nightmare Ram when it first came out in resin, and the dungeon crawler idea sounds cool.
Oblivion Mosquito - I think this is my favourite Kingdom Death model, possibly one of my favourite models ever.
Silver City - the different creatures seem really cool.
Black Knight - I added this when the pledge manager first opened. I love the model, he’s awesome, and I regretted not adding it.

Since the Kickstarter I bought Spidicules second hand (but new in box), as it’s needed for Abyssal Woods, and I like the model. Since the Kickstarter I’ve wanted more of the original expansions so I focussed on them this time, assuming (and hoping) the PM will open again before wave four so I can add more of the new expansions I want. This time I added:

Gorm - like you I hate the model but I’ve heard nothing but good things about the expansion.
Dung Beetle Knight - awesome little model and again meant to be a great expansion.
Sunstalker - apparently the best (or close second after Dragon King) expansion, the new campaign is meant to be awesome and I quite like the model.
Flower Knight - gorgeous sculpt and needed for Abyssal Woods.
Slenderman - wanted a new Nemesis and he’s the coolest.
Lion Knight - had trouble narrowing it down to one Nemesis, and I like the Lion Knight sculpt. Also you get a bit more in it now they’ve added the role survivors.

If the PM opens again, I’m gonna get basically the rest of the new expansions. Campaigns of Death, Death Armour, Red Witches, Gryphon, Frogdog, Pariah, Inverted Mountain, Honeycomb Weaver. Everything to play the Inverted Mountain campaign. Some of the models (Frogdog, Honeycomb Weaver) have really grown on me after the initial ‘that’s a bit too weird’ reaction. I might add the Gamblers Chest if it opens sometime before wave 3 but it’s gone up and really my favourite models are the monsters so I’m not sure.

I haven’t even played yet (waiting for my sleeves) so I may have a problem.

Woke up at 6:30 GMT, many of the figures in the shop were sold out.

That's fair enough, it's KD, I'm used to it!

I was a bit disappointed that figures seemed to be limited to ten per customer. I mean, ten?

Shouldn't it be a limit of something like two? I mean, they are obviously going to sell out anyway, and who needs ten of the same figure?

3am and no Black Friday figure for me.

They had a $10 postage option so I caved and ordered the armour set. Will give me a few more options for building survivors.

@Monkeysloth - thanks a lot for the info!

I have done it. Ordered the base game unit. It's a lot of money, but I know I would have been kicking myself for years if I didn't get it then didn't the opportunity again.

Now on to the Kingdom Death hype train! Wooo!

Really? The best postage deal I saw was for $15. Sadly, I had to pass on it.

Caved and also added Screaming God and First Hero. I swear I’m done.

...please close the PM now Poots!

Added the Death armour and Nightmare Ram. The death armour sculpts just look so damn cool. Not even intending to play with the expansion, just want the armour.
Now I just need to continue passing willpower checks and not get the abyssal woods yet... I need to buy Christmas gifts damnit.

Disappointed that the pinups aren't available individually anymore.

Wanted a few, but not in the mixes offered.

Still, money saved, I suppose!

I’m really tempted just to add everything I want now. It’s like $620 for it all.

The Black Friday Ninja is available again in the HQ Warehouse (USA) with a much more sensible 1 per order limit

https://shop.kingdomdeath.com/collections/in-stock/products/black-friday-ninja

While I went pretty big during the KS, I went and added just a little bit more:
* Black Knight
* Death Armor
* Honeycomb Weaver

I was back-and-forth on the fence for the Weaver for the longest time (since the 1.5 KS), but ultimately added it because I have the rest of the Abyssal Woods content and I want to be able to run a full, standalone AW campaign.

While I now have 2 of the Inverted Mountain components, the rest doesn't speak to me, so I'm just holding. The pinups are pretty cool, but I'll have so many Survivors coming, I think it's better I wait until the rest are built.
