First model down.

I really hope this week is your week. Such a long wait, it seems.

Just received my shipping confirmation. Should have mine on the 30th. Can't wait to fill, sand and paint these guys up. Got my burning man crew and most likely some commissions too.

Man, I'd love to get some email notification this month. It's been radio silent from everyone I know who has backed this project.

Man, I really hope they are still shipping. Now that I know people are getting their kits the suspense is killing me.

Soapy water and sometimes a light brushing with a tooth brush or some other brissled object. With that said, you really should do this for all of your models before paint. A lot of times, the releasing agents they coat the molds with make it difficult for primer to take hold. This is kind of a universal principle of miniature painting, not just for the PVC plastic TOS models are made from.

I'll be sure to show my models off here if they happen to arrive before yours do. Alternatively, you can check out the "contiones de rege flammae" group on facebook. Lots of people have posted pictures of unboxed models. Surprisingly, not much in the way of cult. The other factions have shown off plenty.

Not at all. The issues I had with wyrd over this whole process stemmed mostly from them not fulfilling the timelines they set for this project. The fact that the defense of these major pitfalls in logicists were defended by the fanboys shouting "quality" and "community" were found to be incredibly ironic as wyrds communication through this project has been sub par for a functioning and established company. Additionally, the issue people are having with the alpha crawler quality. I don't exactly feel any sort of way throughout this process, but I am amused by the irony. It is what it is. I'm one of those complicated individuals that can be a fan of and simultaneously critique a franchise at the same time. I love everything about the gameplay and the art regarding this project, which is why I backed it so heavily. Watching friends back out for other games and the major pitfalls in their timeline regarding quality control, then to see some of the issue with the product; I'm not a big fan of that. I'm very much excited for this game, but most of us can agree that it got off to a rocky start. Whether this happens often or not doesn't excuse the issues. They got their money to provide a service and in some ways did a poor job doing so.

Thanks for the heads up. I got into the group and got to see some of the unboxings. I think I'm finally ready to board this hype train. I'm almost as excited to paint these guys up as I am to play the game to be honest. I really am digging the lovecraftian theme for the cult. First free weekend I have after I receive my kit, I'm going to ignore my many adult responsibilities and get to work.

The fact that you're apparently sore over the community complaining over obvious pitfalls in the KS process says much more about you than those who are complaining. Consider this: perhaps try not taking so much personal ownership over what we say about a company that, in reality, has very little to actually do with you. I get that you have a lot of posts on these forums, but your this perception you have of some kind of podium is purely imaginary. Your statement implies that the "complainers" had no grounds to complain or question the company for their practices. You hardly have the credentials to validate or invalidate the criticism and concerns this community had for a project that had obvious issues. As for the complaints after receiving my kit: I can't speak for everyone, but I find the quality control issues with some of the larger models to be incredibly ironic as the fanboys routinely used quality as a rationale for the lack of quality communication and delays regarding this project. However, I've been modeling for decades and I'm hardly phased by gaps and excess on models.

Excellent. Now, we wait!

I saw a few pictures of what people brought in and made the apparently sweeping assumption that one box meant one figure for the adjuncts. Didn't occur to me to dredge through the comments. Thanks for the correction. Hopefully the syndicate models come in as well.

From what I see in the photos, it looks like we are not getting all of our entitled freebies. Reading the KS site, it states "when our total pledged amount hits certain levels, the corresponding stretch goal below will unlock.". Looks like we raised over 481k in total pledges, but we only unlocked the stretch goals up to 375k. If my math is correct, the people who are showing their kits are still entitled to another adjunct model and the limited edition syndicate models if they pledged commander or higher. If I am in error here, someone let me know.

Wow, the wait is finally coming to an end. I really just wanted to flush out the source of the pictures. I needed to see it to believe it. Thanks for the link.

Which facebook group? I find it hard to believe that US orders are starting to get fulfilled at this point. If this is the true, this is excellent news.
