I think the forests probably came last and felt to them somewhat different, so they weren't really thinking in terms of negative space with the forests. The videos and pics they shot last night using the water trays "outside" with the forest looked awesome. Even better, I think, than they look in the caverns, where they look pretty good. So far this is the only thing I've really heard bandied about by DF for the pledge manager, so it seems to be the most likely. Every year, at least a small handful of new things appear there. We'll see.

Word is there is a strong chance these will arrive in the PM, along with forest banks.

And the Apex Primordial is unleashed!

The Apex Primordial has convinced me to get the Dreadhollow Adventure Pack, I think. I hadn't planned on it, but... that guy is intense. And big.

If I had kids, I couldn't afford DF!

My wife hasn't asked me that. First, I think, because she sees how insanely happy it makes me; and second, because she immediately goes and buys another houseful of yarn every time I get a delivery.

KS6 is turning out to be quite the KS. A lot of amazing stuff in it, and the way it's broken down into adventure packs, you can get some highlight pieces without having to spend $1000. That's really nice. For someone whose looking to fill an entire table with terrain, this will be more expensive than KS2 by a pretty wide margin (but the new pieces are nicer and more dynamic than the earlier ones). But for someone who wants to pick and choose, I think they've done a fantastic job this time breaking things down so people can just get what they want without paying for what they don't want. Definitely worth a look in the final hours, especially now that the packs are filled in with stretch goals. One thing they've done this time, which I absolutely love, is the Deadliest Dungeon Designs conference videos. They really highlight the encounters in a fun way. The actual encounter breakdown videos are great, too. Since DoD, they've done a much better job showing people what they're really getting.

I got my pre-shipment notice for my third, and final, shipment last night. Soon I'll have my hands on an elevation platform. Really looking forward to seeing it. And 3 add-on packs to flesh out my khri colony.

Have you contacted customer service? I thought all their orders for the US went out about 2 weeks ago. I got mine 6 days ago, and I figured I was about the last. It's really unfortunate there were no shipping notices or tracking numbers. The delays don't bother me really; it's not knowing whether or not its even coming.

Thanks all! I'll look into the Krylon.

We were in the live audience for the Gen Con stream where they revealed the Dreadhollow. My wife said, "I don't care what you get, just get me those trees." (Or at least that's what it sounded like to me.) For KS5, I (for the first time) switch to painted at the last minute. I got less, but I don't regret it ... too much. This year I'm having a hard time going with painted. First, I don't know that the trees/forests will come out as nice factory painted -- it's a more complicated job. Second, I'm just balking at the added cost. We'll see, I guess. Two days to go.

I got almost all the rest of my order last week -- same day as my Secret Weapon stuff. Secret Weapon hadn't given me any notice, but DF gave me two tracking numbers from UPS. So when Fedex showed up with a single box, I was very confused! I still need my Khri add-ons and my elevation box. My buddy got his elevation box, so I don't know what the difference is.

I got all my stuff in last week. It looks great! Are people priming these? If not, do people think a thin base coat of spray paint would work, or is there a possibility of the surface going tacky? The material is a pretty light color, so I'd like to make it uniformly dark before starting, in the easiest way possible. That way I can just build up layers of drybrush like I do with Dwarven Forge stuff.

Can I ask whether you found the 2nd hand pieces online or in person? And if online, where?

Amazing Job! Do you plan on ever doing Youtube videos again? I really appreciated the ones you did!
