Thanks, it was an interesting read to go with morning coffee.

Thanks!

Morning coffee you say? (Seriously, the blog is a fascinating read!)

I think he's one of those guys who already has product and as such, doesn't see a need for others to voice their discontent, all the while more or less ignoring the reasons why some don't have stuff as of yet.

"I don't know what these guys are so dense about, I got my minis through my dropship location so I'm happy and as long as I'm happy everybody else should be as well."

Dropship locations are a great idea, no sarcasm there, but it sucks when there's not one nearby or your store couldn't garner enough backers to warrant such a status.

Meh, I have a dropship location, got my first wave, but I do not understand how could one be happy about that. The total of what I got is worth maybe under 100$ (counting what I spent on it). That's not even 25% of my pledge. But yeah, you're right the guy cannot see outside of the tip of his own nose.

Bookmarked! I guess I should go back to tea in the mornings as I mostly drink coffee to get something warm inside me in the morning and I like the taste.. I never really felt the kick everyone is talking about either.

Tea has caffeine in it as well, just not as much. That said, I've never had the same withdrawal symptoms from green or chai tea that I have with even half-strength coffee.

**Mymearan**

Rooibos doesn't have caffeine actually.

What scale are these btw? I will be buying some Jailbirds to use as Esher for Necromunda, and I would like to know if they will fit in with the rest of the girls...

There's a lot of comparison shots if you just google or look in this thread (although admittedly it'sa bit long). They are slightly taller than GW, but the proportions are slightly different.

**BrookM**

Only problem I had with my girls was that their legs are so wide apart that they can be a pain to stick onto a regular base.

So that's why GW made new 32mm bases!

Hehe, good guy GW, fixing the problems caused by third party companies.

So is there a place that lists what is in which wave?

Supposedly Wave 2 is meant to include all of the troops and most/all of the support teams, and a handful of heroines.

Wave 3 is everything else.

~iPaint

So where would the Necropriestess Nepharya fit in? The second wave?

Probably wave 3, whenever that is. Sorry we can't be more precise, since RH has failed to tell backers anything beyond "We're busy hash-tagging."

**Ignatius-Grulgor**

Seems they've extended the re-opening of the pledge manager till the 4th, my resistance is crumbling, why does everyone want me to spend money at the one point of the year where I've spent it all on other people.

**Mathieu Raymond**

I imagine they'll start shipping stuff to Paypal backers sooner rather than later to access that stash of cash. It would be a bit more ethical than financing this campaign with another one.

**BrookM**

We'll see how soon that will happen, Paypal already took the money for both of the extra orders I put in, one of these is made up of models that are out right now.

You need to use the following code when checking out: BestBackerEver

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

But note that using the voucher will jus add the stuff onto your KS order for shipment whenever you next aid for KS shipping wave happens

To those who have paid for split shipping did you think it was worth that?

**BrookM**

So wait, if my original mini was a wave infinity model and I place two separate orders, one made up of models that are out right now, I'll still have to wait until with strange aeons even death may die?

Well, crap baskets.

**migooo**

whuh? why did this post twice?

**BrookM**

It happens from time to time, pro-tip though: Next time do not edit out the second post, Dakka Dakka cleans this up automatically.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Yeah, don't feel too bad about it. It happens to lots of posters.

It was worth it for me,

as I got to see what their spincast resin looked like compared to the metals (and it compares very favourably, if it hadn't I'd have been able to change my later picks to avoid it as much as possible), I got a decent chunk of my order (I'd picked a lot of the completed heroines) and it didn't cost too much as I'm in the UK

(if I'd been in a different part of the world where the shipping would have been higher, or if I'd only chosen a few units 'available now' it probably wouldn't have been)

SHIPPING NEWS

As you may recall, the Snipers for all factions moved up to Wave 2, and they are now currently in stock.

Furthermore, all the expected Troops have now arrived, that is,
the KST Heavy Troops + KST Heavy Command Group,
the JB Regular Troops + JB Regular Command Group,
the IE Heavy Troops + IE Heavy Command Group.

However, one parcel got held up at the courier company over Thanksgiving week-end, and only came in this afternoon, so most shipments could only start today, instead of 3 days ago. But we've tripled the size of of the packing team, and so, shipping notices will be coming in regularly. Looks like this is going to be one busy week-end!
NEW PAINT JOBS

Note: Larger size images will be shared in the next Update.
WHO WANTS MORE COASTERS / DRINK MATS?

We've added Nurse Karoline (JB) to our set of TGG coasters, bringing it up to 5 different ones.

And we've also added 3 unique coasters just in time for the Holiday season. And if you order something in our webshop by December 10, we'll include all 3 X-Mas coasters for free, as an early Christmas present!

Of course, we will continue to include random samples in your Kickstarter parcels, but now, you can also grab all of them right away! Just head over to the Goodies section of our webshop!
NEW WEBSHOP DESIGN

Even if you don't need anything, why not check out our fresh new webshop? The original one was built five years ago, an eternity in web years... We will continue to work out the kinks over the next few days, so if you see some bugs, don't hesitate to drop us a note. And over the next few weeks, we will continue to add content.

The French and Spanish versions of the webshop will be updated next week.

So, 90% of that is ignorable waffle from my perspective, but I can stomach their self-aggrandising verbosity just this once since - providing they've not developed another case of Growing A Face-Arse And Speaking From It Syndrome - the Snipers are in so I can soon get my models and try to forget this whole affair ever happened.

**Dr Mathias**

I'm not jealous of paintjobs very often, but I have to say that the pj One-Shot Blondie is unreal.

Extending the 'Deal 3' to Jan. 5- what do you think that's about?

**BrookM**

Spend more money, but maybe finally get some minis?

What the hell, giving it a try, wanted one of their fantasy minis anyway.

So... the spincast is better or worse than metal in your opinion? Your syntax there is confusing.

Maybe the "this is not the best time of year to buy myself lots of toy soldiers" thing that's affecting many of us right now?

**Ouze**

Seeing them painted actually sort of makes me regret pledging at all. The delays are fine, the poor communication was expected, and so on, but now I'm sort of dreading the idea that I might actually get some giant box from France and have to paint all the damn things.

**Haljin**

So we are actually getting something shipped right now? Is that what they're saying?

I wish I knew what was shipping, it seems only heavy KST troops made it. Too bad, the troops are more-or-less half of my pledge.

**RoninXiC**

Painting truely is amazing.. stunning and all that.

MAAAAYYYBEEE they are actually 80% done now? You know... for sure

I think this spincast is just as good as the metal,

and considering the number of bits some of the figures are in might even be preferable if you're gaming with them as they'll be less likely to fall apart if bashed or dropped

To me, it's actually kind of weird to see painted pics of these models, after seeing just concept art and renders for so long.
