1) Your welcome. Now you know what you can expect and it will be very good ^^. A big box with all these goodies. 2) I know how you feel. I saw people already receiving there pledges a few weeks ago. And I just got mine yesterday. I do find you brave to already see what is inside. I just could not do it since I had no idea when my big box would arrive. Stay strong my friend and I hope you get your pledge very soon. I am rooting for you. Do you now when the expect it?
U.S is late August/ September so I am waiting for it on the last week of September. That way if it gets here earlier it will be a surprised. I am mostly looking at videos so I know whether I should invest in a new gaming cabinet. CMON kickstarters take a lot of space
Oh no! That is still a very large estimate. I do hope you get it in August. Wow there is a huge spread when people are receiving this game... Well you can see how big the initial box is. If you want to keep all the packages (also the small boxes you get like the enemy bosses) yes you need a lot of space. Right know I have been able to fit a lot in the core box (with the help of some plastic containers to put the minis in), I have the lightbringer box full of stuff and then I have the enemy box with what was in there. If I want I can get everything thing in the core box and the lightbringer box. So if you have space for those boxes (and trow all the other boxes and package things away) you should be fine. And if you just need some extra space for stuff keep like the enemy box. The main problem is the big miniatures. I am still working on that. I hope this helps.
For now I am fine with those 2 boxes. You do have a lot of content and extra stuff. My core box is already filled almost full tetris style ^^. So there is no way it will all fit in that one box. those 2 boxes don't use that much space. I have bigger board games.
Filet Minion I am going to play the game Sunday and I am planning to start to paint them after that. I want to get a feel of the game first. But I dont know if I can wait that long ;).
Cesar Perez oh dang... I hope you will get it soon! There is so much in this box and so far we had fun playing the game. Hopefully you can also enjoy it soon.
That is so cool. Be ready to receive a massive box with all kind of awesome stuff ^^. I have organized all the things I have received a bit better. And its a lot! Hehe.
Michael Halbert you will get better at it over time. It is also easier to do if you use thin layers of paint. And when something is the light or you did something wrong. wait for it to dry and go over with it with the darker color (thin layer). and when that is dry you can try again and/or your mistake will be covered a bit. I do that to sometimes ;).
Nice unboxing! 1. Have you painted your xcom minis? I'm nosey and saw the box in the background :D 2. Lets have a paint off, I reckon yours will look better but I could pip you on speed perhaps :-)
Thank you :). 1. Yes I have painted my xcom minis. That were actually my first minis I painted. The ufo's and the ships look pretty nice. The squad looks like a first painted mini of someone, hehe. I was still trying it out. I just color coded them so it was easy to see on the board which is which. What was your first mini? 2. A paint off sounds fun. I don't know about my minis looking better. Yours look really good! Did you already got the game? So many people received it before me but now I can finally play it :D.
Nice, I keep trying to convince my bro to paint his xcom models. i think they'll be easy and make it more enjoyable ( i much prefer games that look nice). My first minis were some Zombicide Runners, Z:BP was the first game I ever painted, once I finished that I started my channel. Yeah we got our copy last Friday, for once we played it straight away - normally takes 6 months to get round to a new game, we weren't expecting much from it, but perhaps because of that we really loved it, and want to play it a LOT more. Look forward to hearing what you think about it once you've played it!
We like to play XCOM a lot. But we had some trouble, with the time pressure, to see what is going on. Now that I have painted those minis all those troubles are away. Everyone can see in a blink of an eye what is going on. I painted the ufo's in red and gold. Now you can see very clearly in which areas the amount of ufo's are. Also I have color coded the squad member. So all sniper in the color white for example. And also there the game improved a lot. Everyone can see which and how many of each is employed to a mission. That was also exactly why I started to paint those mini's, to make the game easier to play. I can really recommend painting that game if you like it. And from there I was hooked on painting. The next thing was also Zombicide BP runners for me :). Oh so nice that you already have the game. I can't wait to start playing it tomorrow. There is also just so much stuff with this game. Its amazing! I do hope we like game. We do like to play Zombicide BP a lot and we are ready for the next thing.
D. Hunter Phillips that is a shame :(. Because it was an exclusive I know I was getting it. Its not a major deal but it is nice that we can play with the heroes of Zombicide BP. It just gives a some more variaton and different options. I actually think this should be availabe for everyone in retail. I dont know why it is an exclusive. That is just a shame. I wish everyone could have it.
My new minis are still resting and fighting monsters ;). I will start to paint my first one on Thursday. I will also play the game again this weekend. So far it all is fun and the miniatures look good. I can't wait to start painting them :D.
sander vb awsome! That is great news :). I hope you get the change to play it soon. I am going to play it tonight again for the 4th time. And so far we really like the game. We enjoy playing it a lot. Its more on the easy side. But we also played some quests on which there was a timer and that made it a bit more interesting. I hope you will also like it :).
sander vb great to hear you had a good time with your kids :). I actually just finished an other play. It was really fun again :D. Thank you. Going to paint my next mini tomorrow.
Just discovered your channel. Love your quality work. Just wondering, do you make videos for a living? The quality is excellent. Now that I found you I notice that you didn’t post videos for a few months. If you quit it’s a shame. But you still might be busy painting all your pieces. Anyway wish you a Happy New-Year!
Great to see you here :). Thank you so much and great that you like my work. I don't make video's or paint miniatures for a living. I have been very busy with work and other things. That is why I have been unable to make more video's. Had to take care of myself a bit. I hope you will have a great New-Year!
I believe that Tak is Danish for thanks; however from what MissFlame said above, I would guess she is a Nederlander, not a Dane. Yay rudimentary Deutsch (thats for me rembering some of the other parts of the language family tree, not any kind of slam).
Talk about dice, when I played A D&D I owned 100 sets. Finished base coating my Chimera by the way. Looks like you'll be busy for--what, a week, ha ha ha.
I don't know what it is about dice but I just love them ^^. When I played D&D I limited myself to only 2 sets of dice (D3 to D20) but when my character was leveling I could trow more and more D6. So I slowly bought more and more of those. Now I have the same problem with my board games. A lot of them use D6 dice and there are so many cool ones ^^. I don't buy them all but I do want them all ;). Oh nice that you started to prime it. I was thinking you could also play around with the shade as I also do. Do a heavy shade on the lions dark hair and then do a drybrush (I will do it with gray on my next mini Karl). And for the face and paws you can mix shade with water to get a thin coat of shade on the much lighter color.
Yeah with 600 die I had boulders, clear, sparkles, solids, they are cool. Another question if you don't mind, how long should I let nuln oil dry before I seal it?
Only for the washes? Well because it is a acrylic paint wash it should be dry in 30min. I never done that I always wait 2 hour, just to be sure. When I am also painted to miniature I always wait 24 hours, just to be sure all the paint is dry. How long you need to wait can also depend if it is very cold or warm. I wish I had that many dice. That would be so cool! I am dreaming of filling a cool glass piece with all dice D6 :D. One day.
Yeah, my dice bag was so full it was hard to close. As far as your dream of filling a glass piece--do it, find the glass piece you want and start, that sounds awesome it would look good on your shelf with all your mini's
Michael Halbert I might go look for it. just need to find a cool glass thing that I want to fill. I just really like the idea of seeing all those dice.
It's cool. I managed to get Zombicide Black Plague which was before they changed their policy (or was it while I was living somewhere where I could receive packages like this? memoriy's fuzzy) Massive Darkness wasn't altogether my cup of tea, zombies and necromancers sign me up; orcs and chaos gnomes (dwarves?) not so much. But I'd have loved to have several of those crossover minis and their KS exclusive cards.
Mandragora that is nice that you have Zombicide BP. I do not have the KS of that game. It is indeed nice that there is so much extra stuff here. That is also a reason why I backed. I do like the game but I can also use the minis for other tabletopgames. That is really nice :).
This has nothing to do with painting (by the by did you get my pics?) Joke time---What do they call a person who speaks 3 languages Tri-lingual, what do they call a person who speaks 2 languages Bi-lingual, what do they call a person who speaks 1 language---an American he ha ha he. Have a great day.
Michael Halbert I did receive your pics. I already went to bed and now I am at work. I want to check and respond to you when I am home. I can view your pics better from my computer and give you a better respond. I do have some tips for you :). Haha, that is a good joke 🤣. A lot of people who speak one language ;) often think I am from Germany. So that was a nice change ^^.
Wow, there's really a lot that goes into this game. Thanks for the attention to detail to show off everything!
Just found your channel! I love your painting and will certainly use your tutorials and ideas. Subscribed!
I am a backer from the U.S!
1)Thank you for giving me a little dose till my pledge arrives.
2) I am so jealous right now.
1) Your welcome. Now you know what you can expect and it will be very good ^^. A big box with all these goodies.
2) I know how you feel. I saw people already receiving there pledges a few weeks ago. And I just got mine yesterday.

I am hoping Broken Token will come up with something. Otherwise I might just have to make a wooden box for it
For now I am fine with those 2 boxes. You do have a lot of content and extra stuff. My core box is already filled almost full tetris style ^^. So there is no way it will all fit in that one box. those 2 boxes don't use that much space. I have bigger board games.
Nice review ! Still waiting for my box :) Also bought both dice sets.
I hope you will get it soon! It is so cool. Those dice look really nice. I could not decide which I would like better so I bought both :D.
MissFlame paints same intention :) can't wait to paint them. Are yours already stripped and ready to put primer on? :)
Subscribed :) Like your miniatures.
Filet Minion I am going to play the game Sunday and I am planning to start to paint them after that. I want to get a feel of the game first. But I dont know if I can wait that long ;).
Filet Minion that is so cool! Thank you so much. Its so nice to hear you like my paints :).
Do you plan on playing this game solo or with a gaming group? I find playing Zombicide more enjoyable solo than with others.
Great video. I'm still waiting on my box...
Cesar Perez oh dang... I hope you will get it soon! There is so much in this box and so far we had fun playing the game. Hopefully you can also enjoy it soon.
Awesome I late pledged my copy so I might have a long wait before I get it.
That is so cool. Be ready to receive a massive box with all kind of awesome stuff ^^. I have organized all the things I have received a bit better. And its a lot! Hehe.
Enjoyed watching thanks
The Joy Of Gaming awsome to hear :D. Thank you so much for watching.
The tricky part for my Chimera is going to be the highlighting, beyond just dry brushing.
Michael Halbert you will get better at it over time. It is also easier to do if you use thin layers of paint. And when something is the light or you did something wrong. wait for it to dry and go over with it with the darker color (thin layer). and when that is dry you can try again and/or your mistake will be covered a bit.

So sad that I didn't get the crossover kit.
D. Hunter Phillips that is a shame :(. Because it was an exclusive I know I was getting it. Its not a major deal but it is nice that we can play with the heroes of Zombicide BP. It just gives a some more variaton and different options.
I actually think this should be availabe for everyone in retail. I dont know why it is an exclusive. That is just a shame. I wish everyone could have it.
I've completed the Chimera (to the best of my ability) is there some way I can show you what I've done so that you can give me some feed back?
You can add me on facebook if you want: facebook.com/MissFlamepaints. Does that work for you?
It does, thank you so much. Are all your new mini's resting well or are they eyeing the "paint brush?
My new minis are still resting and fighting monsters ;). I will start to paint my first one on Thursday. I will also play the game again this weekend. So far it all is fun and the miniatures look good. I can't wait to start painting them :D.
And another Massive Darkness box did arrive in the Netherlands :)
Do you like it so far?
Groetjes
sander vb awsome! That is great news :). I hope you get the change to play it soon. I am going to play it tonight again for the 4th time. And so far we really like the game.

Yeah played it with my kids (9 and 12).
Nice game with cool minis.
Have fun and I am looking forward to your vids.
sander vb great to hear you had a good time with your kids :). I actually just finished an other play. It was really fun again :D.
Thank you. Going to paint my next mini tomorrow.

Dunka. would they say that in Denmark?
Michael Halbert well its: bedankt. In Dutch. I dont know what they say in Denmark ;).
I believe that Tak is Danish for thanks; however from what MissFlame said above, I would guess she is a Nederlander, not a Dane. Yay rudimentary Deutsch (thats for me rembering some of the other parts of the language family tree, not any kind of slam).
ah what the hay--it's all Greek to me he he he
EnigmaofGR yea that is correct. I am from The Netherlands 😁.

Erik Andersen 😄. It was a great box full of goodies.
Bravo!)
Серж Трейк thank you :).
Jealous. if only CMON shipped to PO Boxes
Mandragora this was my first kickstarter I received from CMON. There is just so much stuff here. I am sorry you could not get it :(.
It's cool. I managed to get Zombicide Black Plague which was before they changed their policy (or was it while I was living somewhere where I could receive packages like this? memoriy's fuzzy)
