Forgotten: >What is Kingdom Death: Monster? Prologue Narration: youtu.be/FNLc8dHv0Ac
Monster is a board game about surviving in the darkness. You play a bunch of cavemen stuck inside the world of the Kingdom Death, a setting full of freaky (and sometimes psycho-sexual) monsters. The current version is 1.5.
Your goal is to arm your survivors and grow your settlement over 20-30 'lantern years', overcoming the odds that are against you. The game has 3 phases: 1. Hunt: You hunt down monsters for resources 2. Showdown: Fight them 3. Settlement: Return with the goods
A maximum of 20-30 sessions are expected for a successful campaign. Shorter campaigns will be available in 2019-2020.
>family can't believe I spent 400 bucks on this >they own every expansion to Dominion
Also, assembling the hands onto the Phoenix keeps getting me high from the glue. Do I need to be using a fume hood or something?
Loctite gel has been a godsend though
Leo Davis
Ventilate your room?
Jason Ross
It's an open basement, but I keep the glue on the desk next to the model and I keep leaning in to see how I'm orienting the hands and basically huffing it for half an hour at a time
Liam Stewart
What kind of glue are you using? Superglue doesn't emanate anything to my knowledge.
Grayson Sanchez
Loctite gel glue, no pic on my phone
And I'm pretty sure super glue is exactly what people huff?
Cameron Peterson
Really? Never even noticed anything, but I suppose it's because the quantities are so small. I'm using liquid Loctite. Never smelled like solvants.

I didn't have a job during the kickstarter
Hudson Gonzalez
Jesus Christ, Just finished gluing the phoenix.
I'm surprised that it can balance, now I just have to find a way to paint this thing.
Justin Perry

>have only glued 18 of the 30 hands
Matthew Johnson
Woah, this thread needs a bump.
Report in on what you're working on right now!
Asher Turner
Is there a dedicated Chinaman for this or should I just scour ebay until I find a suspiciously generous offering? I only a few armor pieces for conversions and fuck buying the whole box for it or a single sprue at 50 bucks.
Eli Howard
FAVE ARMOR GO
Noah Sanchez
But user, mai waifu wears no armor
Adam Sullivan
There's a Russian recaster site but I forgot the url, someone will hook you up.
Ian Gray
>Old stuff in store >Still no expansion refill
You got my hopes up for a second there
Jose King
I'm getting a Watcher delivered soon. How hellish is it going to be to assemble?
Jack Price
>implying the expansions wouldn't have sold out in 3 seconds anyway
Lucas Morgan
lonely tree, lion god and spidicule are available in the UK warehouse
not too much the hardest is the young survivor.
Austin Mitchell
I did it boys, the phoenix is assembled and primed!
Benjamin Kelly
>>Old stuff in store What does Outfit keyword do?
Jayden Garcia
Are there any early game builds that make a whip a decent weapon? “Bone Dagger but weaker” doesn’t really strike me as having a purpose by itself.
Ryder Young
Sounds like a keyword he put in for the promos that he couldnt' decide how to implement in the full game yet
Josiah Parker
carry it for the hunt phase not the showdown phase
Aaron Jackson
According to BGG, you can use Outfit gear to substitute set completion pieces of the same material keyword. In that particular case, Hard Breastplate could presumably stand in for a piece with the “leather” keyword.
Isaiah Collins
I guess it could also be used to “safely” mill bad Wound reactions, then eat the Trap and die anyway
Jordan Powell
>> Organize group to play KDM and do all the time keeping. >> Go to try play KDM. Just start to get ready. >> Everyone bails out a few hours beforehand. >> At least they had the decency to let me know. >> One of the players bailed out to go to a "birthday" event in the same store lol. >> Other players don't even give an excuse and would have left me hanging high and dry without even telling me they weren't showing if it wasn't at least for the one player showing some decency
Why do people do this shit? This is why I stopped being a game master here and stopped trying to start a 40k community and other things. Quite frankly its a miracle we have a nerd scene here at all with some dedicated players but they only play 40k and nothing else.
Noah King
>start a 40k community You deserve it
Matthew Gonzalez
Think of it like a tool. Like the sickle and pick. Or equip your SotF + Clan of Death + Saga survivor with it and demolish things as though it were a genuine weapon. Lol Str+5.
Aaron Green
>all those heritable stat boosts The scent of your blood...you're a Belmont!
Chase Bennett
Oh shit.... you're right!
Brandon Carter
Rodger dodger, gluing all those faces is going to take me more time that gluing the tiny hands.
Luke Sullivan
>attacking survivors can't spend survival Shit wait... We can't surge to attack twice? Fuck, that makes this game so much fucking harder than it already was!
Blake Garcia
How come you didn’t do that before priming?
Colton Howard
After you attack, you are no longer attacking
Andrew Williams
Oh thank god. Still, I guess no dodging, or dashing away then.
Daniel Clark
It just means you can't use survival in response to reactions, essentially. After damage has been dealt you're no longer considered attacking.
Michael Edwards
It was just some light priming to see if some of the mold lines where visable. I wanted to be done with the cleanup before I glue this dam thing to the base.
Jayden Carter
I hate games with a countdown. >"Hurp It Just ended" Fuck that noise.
Please tell me that It aint like this, because I might get this game... Someday.
Colton Harris
Sell me on this game, Veeky Forums. Im not a Wh40k or painter guy.
Connor Diaz
Maybe they think you suck and feel bad for you, but hate you too much to carry on their good intentions?
Are you fat, by any chance?
The only group I am part of that people constantly bail on, is one with THATGUY. He is not a bad person, but its hard to stand around him.
Jaxon Foster
The count down is for the final boss.
Lincoln Wilson
There will be another kickstarter .... R-Right? Maybe for 2.0 Aka the focal version... $250 for the Full game + expansions and what not? R-right?
David Nguyen
What is It?
Noah Nguyen
>not making 90k out of college The usual theory is that the next kickstarter won't be KD 2.0, but another game in the setting
Isaac Lewis
Oh, Im not the same user. I just missed the kickstarter too.
Christian Barnes
It has boobies
Josiah Ramirez
Something that even other monsters fear.
Watch Woolie's tabletop simulator playthrough of it on Youtube. They lost the footage from the session where they fucked up and lost the game
Cameron Turner
Where is the Recast link?
Xavier Cooper
You can play the original campaign with an indefinite ending.
Why?
Liam Robinson
Because
Elijah Jackson
no
Hudson Evans
>unlock phoenix >aw yeah lets beat this chicken, first try blind >bring my big boys and 2 (TWO) Steel Shields >mfw after that fight
guess what happened I fucken wiped hard, got him to 4 wounds left but shit
Blake Watson
Did you have surge, dash, at least 4 survival, and at least two complete sets?
Andrew Martinez
I had dash. Two survivors with Lion and Hide armor, the third shield specialty with steel shield and the fourth a shield. Lost most survival on the hunt.
The hide dude had a steel shield too, but unfortunetly I didnt expect movement to be so vital, thus the -3 movement penalty on the steel shields really put a stick in the situation
I did play blind though so I am not too sad
Dominic Long
>a stick in the situation wut
Xavier Taylor
What's wrong with 40K? If you have fun painting models I don't see what the issue with it is.
Luke Perry
>yfw
Luis Myers
...
Adrian Wood
IF you enjoy or enjoy the idea of putting together detailed minis , sell yourself now , watch some videos of gameplay, don't spoil the game but see enough to have an idea of what to expect. If you aren't interested in assembly of minis and possibly painting then it isn't for you
Hudson Lopez
Where's year nine you skinny bleached faggot
Luke Turner
What's the hardest you've been shit on early game?
First real hunt after the prologue, we get the hunting lion event that makes him start with Ground Fighting. Our Dart Thrower gets a death mask from the mask salesman event, and the starting terrain has a giant face.
So everybody chills while she climbs up and bops him with a turn-1 crit to the leg, for immediate knockdown and the 1d10 for knockdown each move. Everybody goes apeshit on him and we end the first round with four wounds.
We're so bloodlusted we don't position properly (this part at least is our fault) and when he immediately draws Lick Wounds he gets so far away we can't stop him from healing back to full.
Then it turns out we used up all our luck in that first exchange. By the end of the match we're fighting a lion with four -acc tokens, 1 for knockdown on move, and 1-2 for discard AI and lose turn. He doesn't roll a single die less than 7 the entire fucking match. We get wiped.

Ethan Ortiz
Did you cut his balls off and made him deal more damage?
Joseph Thomas
jesus christ, user
Aiden Bell
I need that hook user.
Jackson Walker
i really hope sleeves get replenished by the time the expansions start shipping. cant seem to find the gear card sleeves anywhere.
Jose Turner
Someone linked it last month, dig through the archives if it's worth that much to you.
Hudson Roberts
For the phoenix feathers, I want to do red and gold, but I don't know whether to base red, brush gold Base red, wash gold base gold brush red or base gold wash red
Leaning towards base gold, wash red, seems hardest to screw up?
Is my question even making sense?
Connor Powell
Got some work done on my screaming antelope last night. Trying to go with a flayed flesh/exposed muscle look and feel like it's coming along well so far. Currently trying to decide whether or not to give all the fleshy areas a gloss varnish after all is said and done.
Henry Wood
>and feel like it's coming along well so far It isn't. Did you recast pheonix hands and put them in the belly? That's some good work.
Justin Kelly
are you the colorblind guy?
Adrian Morgan
Nah, that's the way it I out of the box. Wanna not play around too much with my first copies to avoid mangling my new expensive toys (still regretting my attempt to magnetize the wings on the Phoenix ; left massive gaps). Just hoping the ebay aftermarket stays where it is in case the inspiration ever hits me to do a custom beasty.
Cameron Davis
Colorblind user is painting all his stuff like stone specifically to avoid this kind of bullshit.
Wyatt Jones
No. What exactly do you think is wrong with it?
Justin Flores
I took 2 zero xp survivors in my SotF settlement
Jaxon Smith
not that user , Maybe it's the lighting or your camera but it looks very pinky-purpley and not red
Cameron Myers
3 dead in lion fight. 6 dipshits at the ol 'Horde. 2 dead second lion. Plague, want to innovate ammonia but Literally all bone and hide. Didnt last long after. Innovated twice, never got ammonia. Plague killed 3 more and intimacy took the rest.
Connor Clark
Yeah, think that it was the hyper white lights in my light box combined with the somewhat meh quality of my camera. Here's a picture under some more natural lighting. Probably going to wind up giving it a few red glazes to bring it more to the red spectrum and add a bit of variation in any case.
Samuel Miller
do a very dark red wash on all the muscle or it will look like bubblegum like it does now. Think coagulated blood color where the bundles come together
Anthony Rodriguez
>Nah, that's the way it I out of the box. Fucc, I never noticed those little hands on my own model. On a related note, are the inner face and the big hands of the shitbird part of the parasite infecting it, or are they "natural" to the species?
Levi Russell
from what he said about the ringtail fox expansion itll be pretty huge and probably come out before 2.0 if it happens and thatll be it or hell go into kingdom death hero
Adam Robinson
Gave it a couple glazes and a very watery brown/red wash. Any better?
Blake Kelly
>mold line Coloration is more satanic now, but you should think of a way to get a harsher gradient from white to red to bloodish brown
Ryder Reed
Hey /kdm/, is there a place to get all of the art/pictures of the minis for this? I'm not interested in the rules/game itself, but, I just love the art and its aesthetic.
Evan Ortiz
Google Artist dA pages Buy models for their included art prints
Juan Martin
Looks good!
Ryan Gray
Im not the same user that asked first, so that you know. You may be thinking "whatever", but also may be thinking "what a needy fag" and the other user does not deserve this inconsequential shit.
Dominic Baker
I'd base deep red, brush gold, wash red, fiiiiiiine highlight gold. Assuming you want a rich red-gold, not bronze-y, finish.
Try asking in WIP.
Cooper Martin
Try extreme-edge highlighting with very pale pink? Might raise some detail out of the meat. Also, put your model in the fridge for your next photo - ghetto lightbox that works amazingly well.
Parker Brown
Bump for 3d printed terrain pieces. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, given how inexperienced I am with an airbrush.
Though knowing my phone this is probably going to post sideways. Alas, I am at work and not at my computer
Austin Ortiz
Yeah, you may wanna invest in a big bucket of filler and an economy pack of sand paper if you intend to do anything with that 3D printer.
Blake Reed
So how do you accurately place the models on that thing?
Alexander Sanchez
I heard a bunch about this. Is it worth it? Do you have to devote your life to playing this and only this to get your money's worth, basically?
Juan Rivera
The kickstarter was cheap, yo
Charles Smith
Acetone vapor bath works better, and I could have done that. Would have taken more time than painting it did so I kind of just shrugged. It was a misprint anyways. I'll see how others turn out
Survivors fit on the six rocks, not sure what to do about the monsters to be honest.
James Turner
I also don't like painting minis, but KDM is pretty fuckin good. Don't have to paint them, you know
John Flores
Did pretty much the same thing as you. >Was slaughtering lvl 1 Lions with ease and just took a lvl 2 Lion successfully. >Figured I'd try the Phoenix. >Get my 4 best dudes smeared
Grayson Parker
>still early in campaign >hunting Lion again immediately after Butcher >been getting FUCKED for bones whole campaign >only get enough to innovate, pretty much it >having to fight Butcher and Lions with whips >Get Acid Storm hunting Lion >constantly draw trap cards during showdown >can't land a wound for shit >despite having 2 hunter's whips >every single severe injury roll kills >end fight with only 1 person left >despite having two full hide sets
