Absolutely love this game and models.

krylos45

Was very happy to get a chance to back this game and love seeing all the new stuff coming out.

aramir5

Awesome game!

gryphonheart

This game totally rocks! No two play-throughs are the same. The models are absolutely amazing, although some are a bit fiddly to put together. Like Krylos45, I’m glad I backed the game and still kick myself for passing on the first KS.

hobbyhoo

Awesome stuff as always!

dannyc

That Gambler sculpt is incredible! Mega excited to get Gamblers Chest and wave 4 expacs, just wish I had added more.

leonjong

Looking forward to the gamblers chest so much.

filipeh

I didn’t know that game. First time seeing it. With just a quick search about it, I saw incredible sculpts. The minis are very beautiful. I’m going to give this game a try.

portcullis

*Gargamel laugh*

midget

nevermind the models I am loving the art as well

toricova

Those models are superb!!?

daegren

I still want Kingdom Death, but can’t justify the price and time sink. Such a very cool and interesting looking game.

royal73

Great interview, so chill…hilarious that the artists are helping to manage the line. The models are looking incredible. I can’t wait for full KS fulfillment.

psyntologist

Love these models and initial storyline, but wish the game wasn’t so bloody expensive to get into.

uezguersmaster

Uuuhhhh shinies! Reminds me that I still got monsters to build and paint… :-/
At least now I am even more happy that I pledged for the First Hero expansion. 😀

bigdaddio

Always such imaginative designs!

wulfbein

So excited for the Gambler’s Chest.

jmrecoil

Models are just unbelievable.

cedric

Incredible game, gorgeous models !

emptynessisform

Kingdom Death is table top dreams come true. astonishing time and again.
you’d best be quick with those prizes because they’ll be in the web store next week and there’s no way i’m missing out. Til death do us part encore makes my heart sing. now fingers crossed some of the older resins are left when the web store opens for the feeding frenzy, there are more than a few of the older sculpts i’d like to get my greedy little hands on.

emptynessisform

more pictures please.

nogginthenog

A pair of Poots. I love seeing all this stuff and the way he works to put it all together. Adam is a true artist.

turbocooler

I wonder if after all the expansions are complete if he will consider a follow on game?

bucketknight

I think Adam suggested as much in this very video.

amachan

I see the Poots resemblance.

falcon86866

I love Kingdom Death. Awesome to hear more from Adam!

aztecjaguar

White Speaker = totally awesome! Just wish Kingdom Death would bring out a smaller, cheaper intro game. Or a purely card-based game – using all that gorgeous artwork.

knightqc

Every figurine is so nice!

andre77

I realyl love kingdom death. Awesome in all directions.

thanos267

This game is amazing! I’ve only seen the Beasthold Let’s Plays, and I will inevitably have a copy. These sculpts from the expansion are absolutely beautiful!

zorg

They make flocking great figure’s strange but great.

todd-sensing

My favorite game. Nice to hear where the story is headed.

normandyfan

awesome scupts

infiniteferic

I can’t wait to see how they will expand the Kingdom Death universe and what gorgeous miniatures there will be!

mgasch

Kingdom Death FTW!!

absolutionis

After seeing that Oblivion Mosquito sculpted, I’m really regretting not picking up that expansion. It looks so much more graceful than the concept art. Hopefully with the delay in Wave 4, there will be another reopening of the Pledge Manager.

psychoticstorm

Fantastic, when they will be up in the KDM shop?

nikkel

Crazy stuff as always

thorwodenssen

Awesome minis.

janus1004

Fabulous models!

antiphony

The Gambler is just awesome.
When the concept art went up on the kickstarter I thought, yeah sure its gonna look that.
Well you can foogle me stupid.
It does.

All the pretty things, must have lots, and lots, and lots

bigbadbazz

super game

beeff86

Love playing my mates copy of kingdom death. he is waiting excitedly for the gamblers chest

theoneaeon

Love the game. Sadly the special minis are a bit hard to get in the EU

seneca

Love the game. Only one who is a real solo challenge.
Would love some of the limited stuff to be EU reserved, so we get a chance at it here over the pond

vandelli

love the future hints about going next to kd labyrinth and the first heroe exp. is kind of starting to bridge survivors and heroes !

davidfozmk

This game is definitely on my table top bucket list. Maybe one day I’ll get to paint up some of those wonderful minis.

dogboydiesel

I love the world of kingdom death, great game

truthslayer

Of all the games I have this is the one that ALWAYS set up just an amazing game that shows what Kickstarter really should be for. Just so Poots knows I’m an original bakcer and still don’t have all the expansions lol

tuffyears

cool

nyilus27

I love this game and I am eagerly looking forwards to the rest of my pledge from the kickstarter as it comes out and in the mean time I will continue playing this game.

alexandereck

Thanks for the Interview dracs. Loving the poots!

tchrin

KD:M is such a beautiful piece of design, and so shamelessly it’s own thing. Amazing to see it continuing to go from strength to strength.

nubato

Fantastic game ! Nice interview !
I hope papa poots will reopen the PM for newcomers, I want that GC mini !

granvil4

Impossible to get too much KDM!

dwarvakeen40

Kingdom Death is THE game I use to introduce people to my gaming hobby. Love it so much!!

phoen31

I do love the models, I really think if your going to play this game you should make some more 3dish terrain.

shyvax

KDM is so awesome

trane13

I like how the story is planned way before its release!

gazky

Love the game and eagerly look forward to the next lantern year on the site. Perhaps my favourite content at the moment.

cmcgill

Can’t wait for wave 3 and the rest of the kickstarter stuff. Echoes of death looks like a really cool addition as well, I hope it will be available after GenCon

tachycardia

Adam always seems like such a chilled out, down to earth guy in interviews.

fierytitan

These models are crazy good

firebuck

Nice to hear there is an overall world with other things going one, makes the game more interesting for me. My group enjoys playing and we were doing quite well this time until we got hit with the unable to do scientific endeavours. Been much more difficult since then I must say.

psychorabbit

This game is a must own.

portcullis

Have waited all this weekend for this update. Did not disappoint. Time to sit and enjoy with a cup of coffee.

kirgr526

KDM is a greate game, shame it’s kicking my game groups butt at the moment.

evilspock

Kingdom Death concept art and sculpts are amazing! Would love to see how the game plays.

irishsteve

This. Soooooo this!! My credit card is already quivering at the mention of the store being restocked!! Lotta lovely new sculpts and well curious how Echoes is going to play out.

jpoitras

I would love for Adam and Sam to be related. How cool would that be?

rgreenparadox

That model looks like the creepy version of atlas and the earth.

chargerse67

Would love to paint these models.

karakhanid

The game is really good, the sculpts amazingly weird and good. 🙂

danamonsterzuul

I need to get into this game. Just finished watching the latest play through and the focus on continuity and the detail fascinate me.

anubis06

KDM is the most amazing game I have ever played and owned and I am continually blown away by the models and game play. I have to say that the ball of humans looks spectacular and will be great fun to paint; I would like to do as many different skin tones as possible.

dkr1ak5

This was the booth I wanted you guys to go have an interview with most from GenCon.
I love the playthrough videos you guys do with Chris.
Keep those coming.

wilco92

so want to get in tho this game.

babone

These models would be so much fun to paint!

turak

Great looking models.

kadmon

Looks awesome

katana100

I seriously need to win the lottery to get this game

apolonios

Awesome minis and awesome upgrades

joerugby

Kingdom death has some amazing monsters

darkdanegan

I’m watching the GenCon coverage in upload order and this is my favourite so far. you did a fantastic job on this one!

Kingdom Death just does something to me I can’t explain. I’ve got the game and all the expansions hoarded away for a rainy day. I’ll almost be happy if I lose my job because if I do it’ll be a solid couple of months of KD:M action 😀

andyg

Shiny things must have…..

hurrey

Such amazing looking minis. Dead body ball Atlas is really impressive.

loyalskritna

Their minis are the best and they know it. As a lifetime Dark Souls fan, it’s just too much coolness to handle when seeing those pics.

zoidpinhead

Fantastic interview, well done for getting something on Labyrinth. That is going to be a must buy as I’m so enjoying KD:M and we still have a couple of years of fulfillment left on the 1.5 Kickstarter.

hawk93

Really excited for these new models!

lawnor

Wait, he thinks everyone has seen and owns KD:M already? How rich does he think everyone is?

gobbo

I had put this game off as I was not interested in some of the “Odder” miniatures. I just recently watched the Lets play on BoW and have to say I am interested now.

dmwarmock

I have so much KD:M to paint from the KS. Please don’t give me the prize…..
Kidding! Me! Me! Pick me!

hairybrains

great game, love the sculpts of this

coxjul

So just what is the plural of Poots?

Looking forward to the Gambler’s chest from the KD:M 1.5 KS. How soon is anyone’s guess at the moment.

timhamill

Love kdm, can not wait until the new expansions come out

rum8le

Amazing game, each campaign I try something different and whilst it doesn’t always work out its great to see how the settlement takes it

puyzen

The greatest models in the history of gaming! Still saving up for it but every time I get close they release something new that I need to also get…

thepaintingbozo

These sculpts are absolutely stunning

elysium64

So love this game best miniatures and game play I have seen

stolm

So impressed with this game!

theamazingmrg

I have a friend who would really love these additions to his Kingdom Death collection!

grimlighter

I’m trying to explain how amazing that Gambler is to my colleagues in words. It’s hard without showing the picture. I might have sounded like a bit of a weirdo.

grimlighter

I hadn’t experienced any kind of serious addiction until KDM came around. I even quit coffee 3 weeks ago. I doubt KDM will be as easy to shake.

ingoclaro

The new expansions look awesome

kjelken

Adam Poots just keeps on giving, while also taking money from my wallet, and the lives of my survivors. I love it!

warbossd

It would be an amazing privilege to have a chance to paint some of these fantastic minis.

taboobat

Thanks for doing this interview!

soulgank

It took a year to make the Gambler? That’s insane. It might take me 2 years to paint it.

mecl

Looking forward to see the new stuff coming!

neoscream

KMD is amazing

kaderis

This game is amazing! I love everything about it, and the minis are my favorite in the industry.

Happy they’re so successful and BoW is making an effort to include them in their coverage!

bennu

Looking forward to getting the rest of my Kickstarter on this.

Really enjoying the let’s plays

Looking forward to Labrynth – first I’d heard of it

darkspi

these model are looking great as aways

crazycabo

I think their miniature quality is some of the best in the business

jax78

The models in this game are scarily incredible.

mpikaard

Kingdom Death Labyrinth…goodbye another several thousand dollars.

shadykx125

Those are some big beasties. I think I should play this.

vaguerant

Game is unrivaled in my collection. Pretty impressed with the quality of the photoresin models as well, so bring on that White Speaker!

paulgbarnes

Looking awesome

milesmayhem

wow I am soneager to rget my hands on the new echoes promo. hopefully wont miss the online sale this week

coubs

I live for this game and the new rules from Echoes really look like they’ll add a great new challenge. I’m really excited after seeing some of the feedback on Nightmare Ram too.

paulvr

kingdom death is cool but too expensive for me

ayasalayanan

What was bigger, the line or the gambler’s ball?

ayasalayanan

The gambler balled up the line

hobbycave

amazing interview!, interesting concept for Labirynth 🙂

coxjul

Now… Labrynth sounds very interesting. It almost makes this illogical world start to make sense!

northernkeeper

The imagination of Mr. Poots is awesome.

144artist

This game just gets stranger, darker, and more intriguing as it progresses. Would love to see the BoW team deal with the Gambler.

dais

Kingdom Death is top quality in the industry today.
I hope after this kickstarter is fulfilled Adam puts some effort into improving his business model and serving his customers better. He’s losing a lot of sales with production runs that sell out in 20 seconds.

timetraveller

Such a cool game system and gorgeous miniatures.

nehpets

Kingdom Death so far has been my absolute favorite game I’ve ever played. I super fortunate to have gotten aboard the first kick starter. I missed the gamblers chest though, and I kick myself every time I see videos like this. Poots, thanks for making one of the best games – in my opinion – available for all of us to play.

quixol

I am so amawzed always with everything you have been doing. In line for tickets, I was talking with two others who share my love as well, and we all talked about what campaigns we have done and the joy KDM: Monster has given us – keep it up and thank you beast of war, er On Tabletop, for all your coverage

kadoshim

Love Kingdom Death, the models, artwork, background and mechanics are all just so beautifully done

rayzryr

This is the only interview I “had” to see from this weekends coverage and I was nit disappointed.
The Gambler is an absolute bastard! I have lost so many survivors to his game, just trying to hunt other monsters… but his miniature is glorious! It’s great to hear that Adam is looking at another avenue for resin production alongside his current resin producer.
Now if I had the money to get over there, I’d gladly volunteer…

zygoma

I’m so excited. Also glad that they decided to hand sculpt the entire globe of people rather than computer sculpting.

lostaris

Kingdom death knocking it out of the park again.

ham85

Can’t wait for the gambler’s chest and new expansions. Those upcoming models look amazing.

califax

Awesome!!!

eric522

Kingdom Death is an awesome game. Fantastic miniatures.

layumi

Oh Kingdom death i’ve been on the fence about this one i want it so much but it’s so expensive if i win the prize that’d def would have me fall lol , White speaker is one of my favourites

agashamirv

I need more KDM

chiefchelios

Wish they’d produce the Black Knight 3D gameboard….

chiefchelios

Wish they’d produce the Black Knight 3D gameboard and pieces

strewart

I want to win! Love White Speakers and missed the last release sadly.

Thanks for the awesome interview!

snogurt

Thanks for the awesome interview!

roland8835

I bet the line was really for, the mini packets of gummy bears. That was awesome, something I will always remember, you guys put so much love in your games and fans, your really appreciated Adam.

Keep being awesome

dougdotharris

Those miniatures are awesome! Looking forward to the wave 3 KS fulfillment even if it’s another year away.

tranc

Nice to hear news about Labyrinth. Would have also been nice to hear news regarding progress on the Kickstarter itself, however. Was Poots saving that for his post-GenCon update?

paragon

Wow the gambler is amazing looking. Any news on when the next wave of kickster deliveries are?

tomrr

The models are amazing, again a play through would be useful..

rott

Great interview! Love KDM, thanks for the insight.

lopyod

love playing this game!

tahatan

Possibly some of the best miniatures ever produced for the market.

lyyr

Amazing game!

rolo1138

I eat, sleep, breath, and daydream of this game everyday whether playing it analog or digital… Wave 4 cannot come soon enough! Love BOW’s playthrough’s and hope at some point they continue!

core

Great minis and future developements! Thanks

fremenknight

Good interview, thanks for posting it up faster than anyone else.

asdf64

Love KDM, hope the Gambler’s Chest hits soon!

heurmistic

Any news is great at this point. Looking forward to the next update. 🙂

schrodinger21

So glad I have backed the gamblers chest.

zetsumei45

Can’t wait for the gambler’s chest and new expansions to get released

cardyfreak

Can’t wait for the GC and the rest of the KS waves, though I know I’m going to have to haha!

cardyfreak

Can’t wait for the next waves to start arriving, though I know I’ll have to! Still got plenty in my 1.5 and first KS expansions to keep me going for years haha!

justknowleo

Thanks guys, you are first to bring news this year.

mecha82

Those are some great looking models.

johntenzer

The artistic output for this game is downright incredible. Very well done, Mr. Poots…!

clansmen

these models are just too good for a board game but the board game is so well made it is top of my wish list.

crystalbow

Nice interview! Thanks for it!

serkenar

Hi! Lovely post (poots?). Now… Looking forward to that Kdm: Labyrinth, in… 2022?

gl-past

I’m here for the giveaway! Tomorrow is my birthday, can’t imagine a better gift if I win that sci-fi Savior! O*O

thatcowboy

I’ve been drooling over this for months and have watched practically all the let’s plays on YouTube. What a fantastic game.

bortian

One of the best board games out there

bucketknight

Strange to say, but the future of Kingdom Death looks bright.
I’ve only scratched the bare surface of this game, but I’m curious to see what new adventures will be unleashed on the unsuspecting survivors and heroes.

eynenacht

I really wanted to make this my 1st year to go to GENCON, but couldn’t afford it. I love KD:M and can’t wait to see Labyrinth whenever it manifests. Would’ve loved to get some of the new items. Maybe in the store in the future. Awesome displays from the crew per the pics I’ve seen this year too! 😀

marktarver

Intriguing to hear that he has new games coming up! Love this game to death……..

alexm

Awesome stuff!

wolf320f

some very cool models

seldon9

Can’t wait for the next wave to ship.

poppyappletree

My friend keeps trying to get me into Kingdom Death: Monster, but I’ve been too lazy to take the trip to play with his group.

biggrim

Man, the sculpts he kicks out for this game are freakin’ nuts!

ghastly13

Consistently disturbing and amazing models. Nothing else like this game!

austinlynnclark

Best game ever! Hope KD Labyrinth comes soon!

eddieharr

Ive always wanted to play this game

cwscion

Great game! Can’t wait for the gamblers chest!!

jkos

Love the kingdom Death minis

coachjose59

THey make some of the best minis out there. I wish my local game store carried them.

theirunworthyheads

Thanks for the interview, love the sound of his ideas for beyond Monster

paintgoblin

Cannot wait to see the next wave of content!

samko

This game is great !

wednesdayayay

this is awesome! my wife and I play this game together what a treat

wednesdayayay

I love this game so much that gambler model looks ridiculous

innes

Nice but horrific minis.

borflogz

Great interview! I’ve been waiting to see some KDM Gencon coverage. Hopefully he can give some timeline updates for waves 3 and 4 soon!

tomd

i seen some game play on BOW and it truly interesting, but it the minis that got me hyped for Kingdom Death Monster/ One day i save up for this.

trinitty

haven’t played it yet. May be someone at my LGS has it…

mrmike60

This game has me so hooked. Cannot wait to find out more.

lukusbiriyani

cant wait for more of this

ddh891

Super stoked can’t wait to go to gencon next year

jimdice

Great Vision. Great game. Dominates my gaming and painting tables.

ddh891

Love the game!

smiletoday

Thanks for doing this interview, dracs. The new figures look great and I can’t wait to see more of what Kingdom Death has on the horizon.

bloodbeard

Kingdom Death makes some of the (if not the) best horror models out there. Man those are cool!

fujouri

I’m only at about Lantern Year 8 in my first playthrough of the game because I’m being a total game snob on this one and refusing to play with unpainted miniatures… and I’m not exactly the worlds fastest painter. And yet, even with so much left to paint, I still can’t wait to have the Oblivion Mosquito and Gambler in my collection.

tundrag3cko

Kingdom Death is one of my favorites! just found it while the second kickstarter was nearly completed but i’ve managed to back this just in time. now im totally obsessed with it. x’D +5 Insanity

EDIT: oh and thanks for the nice interview! 🙂

fireblarney

Love this game. Picked it up after the 1st KS, but went in heavily on the 2nd. The Gambler mini looks amazing!!

nixtone

What a models!

radegast6

amazing models. such a pleasure to paint.

jstrike

Awesome, not only a great video series on this game which is just as entertaining as playing, but solid update too! Thanks

edocow1

Love the art, love the concept, cant wait to get my hands on some of the new content

inukai

Can’t wait for the Gambler!!

azuresky

KD:M is amazing. Can’t wait for more content.

redrocket

Just put the Gorm together, that Gambler though….

mrbuckett

Still have some of the old expansions to assemble but I’m already itching to see the gambler’s chest and new expansions in person. The addiction is real.

nickw1970

My core set and expansions turned up in recent months, exquisite stuff. Echoes of Death would make a nice addition

senjimakoto

One of the gamer’s in our group decided take the plunge and get the game this weekend, along with a couple expansions. Seriously, Kingdom Death should be a subgenre in of its own at this point. Definitely want to add more to the collection.

andrax

Unfortunately i missed the kingdom death KS – otherwise that would be an all in for me

anenemy

This is my favorite game and one my least favorite companies. Amateur hour never ends. Not saying it’s easy to run a company but it is easy to update your 13 million dollar kickstarter more than once twice a year and keep products in stock on the only portal available to your customers.

Free things now please BoW and thanks for the interview! 🙂

anenemy

Blah…that came off so negative and dicky. Seriously I’m sure KD tries hard to meet demand. It’s hard to balance my endless desire for this company’s products with their size and limited production capacity.

jondaw

Themis game is so wonderfully strange and unusual and those miniatures are just amazing… keep producing great immersive games.

mr-rna

Just got the game at Gen Con and can’t wait to start playing with my group!

philoiz

Can’t wait for gambler’s chest!

lgeiger

The art behind this game and the miniatures are stunning.

heavygear02

The models in this game are mind blowing.

gwtharg

good to see hobbit family catch-up video. The models are the stars though

joshshard

Labyrinth sounds pretty incredible, excited to see how that turns out. The two new expansions they demo’s look great, it’s cool they are making the environment have more of an impact.

jahatch28

My buddy has been playing KDM with some work friends for months now.. and they love it… I really am interested in picking some models up to paint up… or I really just need to get into the campaign my buddy is in! lol

ntrabbit

Questionable sculpt material at times, but the minis are certainly well made

dragonman335

Great game

tinfish

I wish they would learn to restock their EU warehouse. It’s almost like they don’t actually want anyone to buy their stuff. Great game though.

arkamuz

i need this in my life
i accept as tribute

jmendenhall

Missed getting the Dragon King expansion at the con, but had a great demo of the black knight.

bruggenbrander

I have the game, but have not played it yet. The new miniatures look great, I am especially looking forward to the Ivory Dragon. I wonder how big that one will be. Also interested in the Labyrinth game and how the heroes will play a role. Thanks for the coverage.

redsarge

I’m still building all the models… lol! Just too much really, but in a good way.

alin

Love this game…

cruciumgiger

Our current Kingdom Death run through has been nuts but Labyrinth sounds intriguing.

mortenius

I always wanted to try this game from BoW game-through videos I see it’s a bit hard game to beat.

thatcowboy

Love this game. Can’t wait until I get my hands on it. Loving your let’s play of it.

timeslayer

Useless to say that The Gambler looks AWESOME! (but I’m saying it anyway) Really happy about how the Gambler’s Chest I picked up during the KS is turning out to be.

mtgamer

Good looking minis.

benkku

Nice.

ahren78

This booth was insane.

comoran

I’ve heard good things about the game

sheepman

Keep meaning to get into this game. The miniatures are beautiful.

And Sam we need a BOW “who do you think you are?” Video now. Who owned the farm?

warfield

Looks like fun

otakugirl

This is good stuff

jakab

This looks really cool

anenemy

Does anyone ever actually win these contests?

hargarpad

those are awesome

szuhayeva

this is beautiful!

bristolpirate

Love the models, just have to get up enough nerve to paint the ones I own.

falerox

I’ve never had the opportunity to play the game but the minis look amazing. True works of art.

teglas

I love these minis

ciriquen

Only just found this interview! Love all information about Kingdom Death, because it’s so hard to find any at all! Can’t see any deadline for the competition, but I’m guessing it’s already passed… Is it possible to see the winners of competitions anywhere?

eddator227

totally awesome game.

angelicdespot

So much good stuff!

angelicdespot

This is exciting stuff!

storminwolf

Abolutely stunning minis

phoenixris

Nice minis but I don’t know weather I have the skill level to paint them.

gianlucafiorentini123

Stunning models

mquarmby

From the other side of the world – great to hear Gencon is fun. 2 Poots! Does this mean we only wait half as long or is it …
