Can you provide a few details on what this deal is for all the extra add-ons (where, etc.)? I’ve just ordered some of this stuff. I like the look of the Nord stuff, and plan to paint them up as half-giants for a future return to my homebrew Norse-themed D&D campaign setting. Watching a few YouTube painting and review videos gave me some ideas with the Spired, for a Spelljammer-esq campaign some of my players have begged me to run. In the case of these, the 38mm scale won’t be much of an issue, as I’d use them for monsters. The Spired Brutes look like mutated Marut Inevitables... they sparked a seed for a campaign idea that would be interesting to run. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal is available through their website, where you can get a core box for $99 USD / EUR (depending on region), and you can get two of any five (Steel Knights, Marksman Clones, Militia, Household Knights, or Vanguard Clones), and you can pick two of the same if you so wish. Hence why I say it's $12 CAD more, because $99 USD is about $122 CAD give or take. I could buy the core set through a Canadian retailer, but I wouldn't get the two bonus squads. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to lay 200ft+ of cable in order to get internet service into the house. There's a cell/microwave tower within line of sight because the tower is 75' high, and the local vegetation is knee high sagebrush and pinion pine, plus some cottonwood trees. apart from the telecommunications we appear to be on par (solar backup rather than generator) but with this country telecommunications are poor to marginal at best, so it isn't really a comparison point... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksbsnowowl Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Gotcha. Thanks for the info. Doesn’t help me much as I just purchased a core set and a box of vanguard clones for $97 (plus another item to kick me over the free shipping threshold). Darn, if only I’d known, I could have gotten free shipping and an extra expansion for $2 more. Oh well. If only I’d thought to search here for Conquest a few hours earlier 😜 I was just searching to see if anyone had posted paint jobs or scale/size comparisons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranky Dog Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I finally got my latest Kickstarter shipment through FedEx. The box in question. Now eagerly and impatiently waiting for a shipment to arrive is pretty normal. Especially if you have a tracking number. But this time it reached a new level of ridiculousness on account that I moved within days of it being shipped. Since I was moving more than 50 km from my old residence, the shipper had to make the address change. They contacted FedEx, and from there I thought everything would be fine. Boy was I wrong. Here's the itinerary according to the tracker, excluding tons of smaller depots: Spoiler Shipment information sent to FedEx Friday, May 14, 2021 10:30 AM Jonquiere, QC. Delivered Given to customer.

Arrived at FedEx location 3:42 PM KNOXVILLE, TN. Picked up 12:13 PM Shipment information sent to FedEx Notice how some city names keep repeating again, and again, and again. For clarity: Woodbridge and Vaughan means Toronto, and Dorval means Montreal. ~550 km between them in a straight direct drive. When I realized after a few days that it kept going round and round, I called their service desk, multiple times. Everyone agreed it was not supposed to happen, and they assured me it was on the way. But it kept happening. I kept calling, and each time the service desk was looking at their own data with ALL the stops and going "What. The. Elf. Is happening?!" gradually realizing that something was definitely wrong. Their system *was* showing the correct final destination address, but along the way it got blocked and shipped back. It reached the point where every depot had to get the local manager to physically confirm that my package was going where it was supposed to go. I was upset at first. But I decided to go all the way and enjoy the ridiculousness of it all. How far will my little package go? Quick estimates is that it traveled well over 10,000 km, somewhere between a quarter to a third of the Earth's circumference. As a comparison, here's what a road trip across Canada would look like. Crossing all 10 provinces and two territories; all the capitals and most major cities; including Prince Edward Island. The mileage my package traveled was competitive (ignoring all the smaller depots I couldn't view but FedEx could). It's only yesterday that I finally got confirmation that it reached my local depot, with the added notes that my address could not be located and got corrected. And the confusing part is that their "corrected" address is the same as the "unreachable" address, just a little more rough looking (but still legible). But it's finally here, and everything looks fine. The content of that particular Kickstarter campaign? DO NOT CLICK UNTIL YOU READ THE PREVIOUS TEXT FOR MAXIMUM COMEDY EFFECT.
