So since Campaigns of death was expected to be out by Q4 of 2025 and we're currently entering the third month of Q3 of 2026, does anyone have an estimate as to when we CAN expect it to arrive give or take?

IS there a way to duplicate models in the simulator? So that we have more than one "unarmoured" of each gender.

Link to Lantern year 11

Lantern year 12

There once was a little skeleton with a big hammer. This skeleton and its friends had fought against many foes, and won many times. Confident in its strength, and confident in its new shiny hammer, the skeleton gathered three of its friends and went out to fight a new foe, a big bird it had seen in the past. The fight did not go how they hoped. Before the little skeleton could start swinging his big hammer the even bigger bird started flapping its wings, creating gusts of wind that knocked the little skeleton and his friends on their butts. The big bird continued to blow the little skeleton and its friends around, and before they knew it they all were in pieces. As the skeleton laid scattered on the ground, watching the big bird continue scattering his friends, he could see another great big bird approaching him. The second bird was very much the same as the first bird, but somehow different. The little skeleton did not know why, maybe it was pity, maybe it was something else, but the second bird picked up all the scattered pieces of the little skeleton, took him back to his village, and put him back together. The little skeleton was happy to be whole again, but as he looked around the village, which was very much the same as before but somehow different, he noticed that he could not see his friends. He turned around to ask the second big bird why it had not brought his friends as well, but the big bird was already gone. He could do nothing but cry, and cry he did. He cried and he cried and he cried. He cried and cried, and he cried. He cried, and cried,

and cried and cried. He cried, then cried and cried some more. Then he cried and cried…

Akenny woke up in a cold sweat, tears still welling up in the corners of his eyes. “Are you okay Akenny? You were writhing around and whimpering in your sleep.” The concerned voice belonged to Joh-tres, the woman that had taken Akenny under her wing when he was still new to the settlement. She was on night guard duty tonight and had apparently walked close enough to his tent to notice his sorry state. "Yeah, I'm okay. It was just a nightmare, nothing weird” he lied. The dream felt significant, even though he couldn't remember much of it anymore. Hearing his name spoken aloud also felt strange, like a glove that was one size too big. None of it concrete enough for Akenny to feel it was worth mentioning and worry Joh-tres any more than he already had. “Were you dreaming about the fight with The Finger?” “No, he had knocked me onto the ground right before he did… that… to the baby, so I didn't see the worst of it.” “Ok, that's good…” She said relieved. “Was it The King's Herald?” “No.” Akennys answered in a tone indicating that he was tired of the questioning. “... Was it about your old sett-” “No, look… I don't remember what the nightmare was about anymore, it probably wasn't anything important, and there wasn't anything particularly traumatizing that happened with my old settlement. We lost people to the hunts, and our settlement never managed to regain our footing before tragedy struck again. Eventually it was just us.” As Akenny spoke the last word he motioned to the pile of three skulls in the corner of his tent. One was fastened to his hammer, while the other two were fashioned with leather straps used to fasten them to his body. Joh-tres looked at the skulls with a melancholy expression on her face. Those skulls had been the three other remaining survivors from his original settlement, and they had perished soon after they were recognized as official JaJa citizens. “They laid down their lives for us. I want you to know that despite their short stay they were as much JAJA as any of us”. Joh-tres said, putting her hand on his shoulder. A minute of silence lingered, as if suspended in time. As Joh-tres continued to gaze at the skulls in the corner Akenny could guess what Joh-tres was thinking. He decided to break the silence. “I'm grateful that you accepted us. I miss these guys, but I don't feel lonely. You and the rest of JaJa made sure of that. I might not have picked up all the mannerisms and common knowledge just yet, but I do feel like I'm part of the family.” “That's good to hear.” Joh-tres said, clearly relieved. “We’re glad to have you here… I’m glad to have you here.” Akenny didn't give a reply, but the slight smile he failed to hide was confirmation enough for Joh-tres that he reciprocated the sentiment. “Well, I should let you get back to sleep, shouldn't I?” said Joh-tres, removing her hand from his shoulder. Akenny gave a slight shake of his head as he said “I don't think I will. Don't really feel sleepy anymore.” “Then do you want to join me on patrol?” Akenny's slight smile returned as he replied. “Sure.”

Circling the settlement the two talked. Nominally the walking around was to keep an eye out for monsters or other trouble, but they were both so engrossed in the conversation that they wouldn't notice even if a screaming goat ran through the settlement at the moment. Eventually Joh-tres found the courage to break the lightheartedness of their conversation in order to ask a question she had been wanting to ask for a while now. “Are you still disappointed that we decided to not go hunt the bird?” “No” he answered, surprised that he actually meant it. “Johoova said it would go bad, and it's more important to survive.” he continued. Akenny still didn't fully trust Johoova's prophetic abilities, but everyone else trusted them, and they hadn't been wrong so far, so he could accept following along with them. “Besides, it's not like this is the last chance we have. We can always try to hun-” the words got stuck in his throat. Watching Akenny's still, emotionless face for a while Joh-tres guesses the rest of his sentence. “... Hunt the bird later?” “Huh? Oh, yeah, we can try to hunt it again later.” He could push the words through this time if he didn't think too hard about what they meant.

Taking a pause from the conversation Akenny took a moment to look around his… home? Stuff seemed out of place. It was very much the same settlement as he remembers, but somehow different. His head hurt. Was it really that light in the lantern hoard that had gone out last lantern year? Were the cracks in the ground from when Joan of Narch threw stones at him arranged differently? Didn't Jilluete and Anjun ring’s hut used to be over there? Speaking of it, Akenny hadn't seen A̷n̴t̸i̷i̵i̴n̴a̸’s hut anywhere. A̵n̷t̵o̸n̶t̵o̷n̸ ̵S̸a̷h̶'̶r̶’s and J̷o̶h̷-̴d̸o̶s̸’s hut is also missing. have they gone somewhere? Akenny felt something running down his lip. Taking his finger to right under his nose he could see blood staining it. Seems like he had a nosebleed. He blinked. His hand was covered with blood. Why is it so much? “Akenny?” Hi-His guts are spilling out on the floor! There's blood everywhere! It’s not just his guts! He can see limbs! Limbs scattered all over the ground and in the air! “Akenny!” It's- it’s… his vision blurred before he fell down limp. The last thing he saw was a woman screaming a name. A name he now realized wasn't his.

Days later Johoovah calls upon everyone in the settlement to gather by the lantern hoard. The Settlement heeds Johoova's words, his voice thrumming. “The JAJA settlement has lost many to the great perils of this world. So many of our loved ones' faces have grown as pale as those that litter the path that we are forced to walk upon. It’s not just our dead who have become one with the earth, for OUR visages have begun to mimic them as well. We have hardened to become the very stones upon which our settlement rests. As our past comrades and lovers have fallen, so do our tears for them. The tears from whom we mourn may carve valleys through our cheeks, but they, like any blister, scabs and hardens underneath. And yet the tautness of our fingers clasping around blades have never hardened our palms, with which we caress our kins face. For the hardships have only led us to care for every young ,whether stranger, friend or other. We care for each and every person as if they are our very kin, because pressed close, we’re coarse as stone cradling hovels impervious to the storm.”

The speech filled the twice estranged Akenny with Conviction(: barbaric). This might not be his settlement, or even his timeline, but it was his home. He would (+4) courage-ously brave any storm and thunder(caller) for it!

QuAntros was also inspired enough by the speech that she decided to take a very long walk outside of the settlement! Almost dying twice she gained a new- no, 2- no, 3 new understanding of the world! Now having the equivalent of the entire settlement's knowledge in her she finally had enough sense to take her ADHD meds and went on a productivity rampage. QuAntros had enough sex to be an absentee mother to 6 kids, conquered 2 of her fears (being an absent mother and spiders), and somehow found 2 scrap, possibly from scavenging her partners nether regions for intimate jewelry. QuAntros had used 17 endeavors this lantern year! To put this in perspective Johannanas used this time to tape a contact mic to a harp.

QuAntros urged the settlement to let her go on a hunt before her meds wore off, and a team was quickly assembled to hunt another screaming goat, or antelope, or whatever. The team consisted of QuAntros, Johoovah, Anjun ring and Akenny. Joh-tres objected to Akenny's involvement due to his recent stress and mental health, stating that he was making simple mistakes, was slow to respond when his name was called, keeps forgetting where stuff is, and was even talking about people from his old settlement as if they had lived here. Akenny insisted on going anyway, one of the settlement’s greatest had insisted after all! Johan had come to his tent and asked him to leave on the next hunt. Johoova had apparently had another vision in his dreams, and they had figured out together that Akenny would find his worth today, but it would be outside the settlement. Akenny couldn't refuse such a request from one of the settlement leaders, or, well, he could, but you’d have to be as empty in the head as Anjun ring after the fight with The Finger to refuse such an opportunity! The grin on Johan's face after Akenny said yes further ensured him that accepting the request was the right move, even if the face in the moment felt more like a face of amusement than relief.

As Johan had said, Akenny did feel a strange precance in the winds during the hunt. Following where his footsteps took him he found a hulking figure. The group stood in awe as the figure forged Akenny a divine hammer that seemed to emit thunder itself, the very storm Akenny had vowed to stand against made solid. As it fused with Akenny it was clear that this was what Johoova’s vision Johan told him about had foresaw.

Further along in tracking the antelope the group was attacked by a swarm of insects who laid their eggs in their mouth. The brood quickly matured and erupted from their orifices, leaving them with a strange feeling of intoxication. The insects strangely left Johoovah alone. Which he found strangely insulting. Despite the insect attack the most disturbing thing the group witnessed was Johoovah furiously making out with a stone face on the ground. The rest of the group pulled him off while Johoova desperately expressed that the face had given him consent.

Having seen what Johoovah does in the privacy of his hovel on full display QuAntros and Anjun ring were completely unaffected by the antelopes mental terrors and slayed the beast after Akenny broke its legs together with his own arm.

Campaign Story Kingdom Death: Monster — Lantern Year 10

Post image
31 Upvotes

Preparation Phase: First High-Tier Hunt
The tenth lantern year marked a major milestone for our settlement: for the first time, we firmly decided to take a risk and hunt a Level 2 Screaming Antelope.

The hunting party was composed of both seasoned veterans and newly matured survivors:

  • Belle: Entered the fight in a full White Lion Armor Set, armed with two Beast Knuckles x2.
  • Corin: Equipped with a Rawhide Armor Set, a Cat Gut Bow with a Claw Arrow, a Lucky Charm, and a Cat Eye Circlet.
  • Tomo: Our promising newcomer, armed with a King's Spear and a hybrid mix of various armor pieces.
  • Seth: Another young fighter, taking a Counterweight Axe and a Rawhide Armor Set. Every member of the group also carried a Founding Stone as a contingency measure.

Hunt Phase: Steady March and Mental Trauma
The journey toward the beast's lair was manageable. The path did not yield any notable events or valuable loot, but it did take a toll—a couple of survivors developed the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Disorder. Aside from that, we reached the showdown location without major incidents.

Showdown Phase: Tactical Control and a Helpless Prey
The showdown itself went incredibly smoothly and was executed with absolute technical precision. Our tactical synergy worked flawlessly: Corin meticulously inspected the HL (Hit Location) deck at the start of each round, allowing the remaining survivors to deal massive, calculated damage. Thanks to this, we constantly selected the most favorable cards, successfully bypassing all dangerous Traps.

The Antelope spent nearly the entire encounter helplessly lying Prone. It would stand up for just a brief moment to attempt an attack, only for our survivors to immediately knock it back down. The monster was defeated, and the squad returned home victorious.

Settlement Phase: The Curse of the Plague and an Out-of-Turn Nightmare
However, what unfolded upon returning to the lantern hoard was incredibly nerve-wracking. The very first settlement event drawn was Plague once again. I honestly do not understand how this keeps happening; despite thoroughly shuffling the event deck, this card pursues us constantly. Fortunately, our Ammonia innovation saved the settlement from deaths yet again—the damage was taken entirely by our endeavor pool, and all survivors survived.

But the worst was yet to come—the Regal Visit story event. Rolling on the event table (even with a reroll that landed on the exact same 3) forced a brutal choice upon us: either voluntarily execute 4 survivors, or fight the Nemesis immediately.

The ultimate irony is that I haven't even started assembling the miniature for this monster (The Hand) yet, as I was planning to work on the plastic a week from now. In short, the Nemesis decided to cut the line.

Conclusion and Outlook
We will prepare. It is terrifying, as I am absolutely certain that this boss will be far more dangerous than the King's Man who recently wiped our entire squad. But there is no turning back. I will humbly paint the miniature, steel my nerves, and fight to the end, even if this encounter threatens to cause a game-over for our entire campaign. This is Kingdom Death at its finest.

P.S. Yes, no new photo this time. I am writing this report straight from the game table just to capture the raw emotions before they fade. Besides, you have already seen the Antelope from every possible angle anyway. However, I have made a decision: if anyone manages to survive the encounter against The Hand, they will earn their own unique miniature built from the multipart armor kits.

Just a cheap 10" rotating table from Amazon. It had a mirror for the top though, so I got a circular microwave mat to put on top of it which luckily fit perfectly. Pretty happy with how it came out.
