Yup, mine turned up this morning :D Still need to do a deep clean on it, but it looks promising.

My only tiny gripe is that the free Mel figure looks to be Primaris/Star Wars Legion size, so I'm not sure I'll be able to use it - which is a shame as the figure itself looks nice.

Still waiting in anticipation for my copy to arrive...

Bummer about Mini Mel's size, but then again; he looks to be rather lanky in his vids, so perhaps he can still blend into my crowd of civvies... ;)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Anyone know if the book will go for general purchases?

The book will be on sale in January. I think Warlord will have it.

I don’t do KS at all.  Never have, never will.  But when the book is printed available for sale, I will get it.

My copy arrived a week before Christmas and ended up being wrapped as a present, so I had to wait a bit to start reading it. It was worth the wait! There is a lot of useful information in the book and I’ve learned some new things starting in the first flip-through.

Two things would improve an already excellent book:1. Captions or numbers to tie each photo to the text it is supporting, 2. A detailed index so that it is easier to find specific techniques.

Overall, I am very happy I backed this Kickstarter, the book is useful and beautiful and I expect to have fun with it for years!

Our copy arrived today. My wife and I are both very pleased with the book and the bonus of a little Mel to add to the painting queue. It has been quite a wait but worth it!

I received my copy yesterday evening, and I'm really amazed by how good the book looks  :-*

I haven't had the opportunity to thoroughly read it (just had the time to quickly leaf through it), but I'm looking forward to sitting down with it (and a nice drink) this weekend to really enjoy Mel and Dave's efforts :)
