Subject: 3D Bases - Modular Terrain: by MHW - 3D Bases Kickstarter LAUNCHED
hi Lorenzo
have you thought about advertising this on the Miniatures Page?
http://theminiaturespage.com/ Don't know if it costs money though.
Check out my gallery here Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

30mx30mm? Why not make them alittle bigger? If they were 12'x12' they would be compatible with secret weapon Table Scapes, and 4 with GW's realm of battle wouldn't they? I don't know if this has been asked, I only read the 1st page.

I'm sorry Lockark, maybe I did not understand well your speech
but, the sizes of our tiles are 30x30cm. as are the tiles of the secret weapon, and 4 of our tiles form a tile of GW
yeah,
Your boards look incredible, I'll think they would be amazing for frost grave, sadly I will probably wait for retail.
I am a little tempted, however, The KS deliver date is way too far away. 9 months waiting for product!
Do you think you can deliver early?
Good luck with the project.

Sadly this is not true.
GW, and G&G have 2' (foot) boards, Exactly. 60.96cm
SW have 1' (foot) boards, Exactly. 30.48cm
(4 SW tiles does equal 1 GW/G&G board.)
If you're boards are 30x30 they are not 1' foot square. They are a little under.
To say approx 12"x12" is false advertising, as you know factually they won't ever make a 3x3 or 6x4 table...
4 x 30cm will be smaller and have a gap of 0.9cm.
6 tiles wide (trying to make a 6' gaming board) this board this will be 2.8cm shortfall.

While I agree it would be better as 1 foot squares, it really doesnt matter much, and falls into the "who cares" realm outside of tournament play. Also, check your math, it's only 6 tiles for a roughly 6 foot table, so the loss is a whopping 2.88 CM, or 1.14 inches. Negligible. A 4 foot table becomes a 120mm table. That's a loss of under a three-quarters of an inch on length and width, divide that by 2 for the impact on each side's deployment, etc.
And if people are playing GW anyways, its not like they care about rules to begin with. Pretend it cut an inch off someone's side for having a frilly hat or not yelling "Waaaaugh!" enough, some other dumb gak lol.

Agreed it's not much but it's also very easy to say it's 11.9" x 11.9"
And not try and fool people into thinking these are exactly 1' square.
Even easier to make them 1' square!!
And going on record as saying 4 of these equals one GW tile is false it will be loose and have gaps.

Sorry for the delay. but I had to finish urgent works. In fact, the speech of the measure 30cm. equal to the "foot" English size is not correct.
but we can say that now is almost always accepted.

A lot of you have been asking about retails prices of our 3D Bases. Here they are:
Price Range A (example: Cobblestone): 8,50 € instead of 7,00 €
Price Range B (example: Urban road): 13,00 € instead of 11,00 €
Price Range C (example: Straight River): 15,50 € instead of 13,00 €
Price Range D (example: any Abbey tile): 21,50 € instead of 18,00 €
... for a approximately overall discount of 20% for single 3D Bases!
In our Kickstarter, we are offering you those bases at a big discount because the Kickstarter allows us to buy a big quantity of this material in one order to our supplier, and thus drop heavily the price (also, making the production run for days helps lowering the costs too). Also, buying our Add-on packs instead of single bases gets you another discount for production and S&H reasons. Once the Kickstarter is over, this won't be possible anymore.
About the freebies: If you want to buy more Wooden Bridges, or other freebies that will be unlocked, you can. We have a special Kickstarter price for those. Post-Kickstarter, they will rise too. Our Pledge Manager has all the data (for example, the Wooden Bridge has a special Kickstarter price of 3€), and we will update our Kickstarter page very soon with all the information too.
Ok, this is all well and good, but how much money I am actually saving ? The best is to talk with examples. Here they are:
Early Bird Captain Pledge with code 9-006 (Full Abbey, 2 Broken Columns, 1 Cobblestone):
Hi everyone, and especially to USA backers and would-be backers.
We have some great news for you! Here are the newest estimated delivery costs for an average Captain Pledge (5kg), to the USA.
32$ to 38$, and it’s USA-Friendly, no custom costs for it! All is included!!!
For a BIG General pledge (not an usual one, but a big one of 12kg), it gets even better!
34$ to 52$, again of course it’s fully USA-Friendly, no custom costs at all!.
The higher end of those delivery costs is for West Coast backers only, since we our freight boat will land on the East Coast.
Our previous non-USA Friendly quotes were 52€ (around 59$) + custom fees for the Captain Pledge, and 85€ (around 96$) + custom fees for the General Pledge.
With this, we’re effectively cutting by half (or more) the delivery costs.
Can it get better ?
Yes, it can.
The more USA backers we have, the more we will be able to lower those costs.
For more information about Shipping & Handling, read your Shipping & Delivery section on our Kickstarter Campaign page.

HI @Alpharius. thanks. we try to always find the best solutions. and if we can "snatch" even better estimates about the shipments, we will propose to you.
us now We rely heavily on you Americans. given what is happening in Europe and the British situation.
therefore, we ask you to give us a hand to spread the word about this project in your country.
thanks in advance for your support.
all the best. Lorenzo
yeah, My biggest barrier to backing is the delivery date. Will you be posting these out as soon as you start making them? Or holding them in a store room until next year?
What was the delivery time on your previous kickstarter, did everyone get their stuff early, on time or late?
What's the likely date? Basically if some of this stuff is ready now will they be sent soon after the kickstarter ends?

Notice march 2017 somewhere, crap. Anything interesting happening regarding the EU referendum.
Seems odd given they are saying it is all ready to go and the KS is just for the bulk discount.

Subject: Re:3D Bases - Modular Terrain: by MHW - (sixth day) What about Retails prices post-Kickstarter?
Yeah,
The bulk purchase is materials, they still have to make the tiles.
However they say some of the moulds are already made.
So if they indicated orders for certain selections would be by oct/nov 2016
I'd probably pledge.
But if the delivery is 2017 for all items I'll pass and wait for retail.
Panic...
Hi @panic.
We already have the molds prepared: abbey, the broken column and cobblestone.
as you can see in the video of Beasts of War last week. you can see them at the minute: 10.18
we all ready masters of all other bases.
Therefore, 80% of the work is already done.
just finished KS. part to produce. but the moment that you begin to produce will also start to shipping.
So surely we start to ship before the actual deadline of March 2017.
Is there any plans to expand the Abbey and Cloister to 9 squares?
Have you tried making a 9 square board with duplicate tiles to see how it looks?
I was thinking 1 cloister plus 2 abbeys and one broken column? I'd be interested in
Abbey 01
D1000
D1001
D1006
Is that €142 or is there a better pack?
It's all existing moulds?
And do you think this would ship in 2016?
Panic...
Hi @panic.
Yes. I think your choice is the best as the price. and the pledge you will also captain of each 1x free unlocked. there are still EB Captain additional 4 euro savings.
all molds of items chosen by you are ready.
but, it would not be honest on my part assuring that your order will arrive by 2016.

New Freebies revealed & Stretch Goals lowered!
Hi everyone,
We've been working a lot of your feedback and making calculus on what we can show and give to you. The result is the following:
We are showing you 2 new Freebies, with a very low funding (31.500 € and 32.500 €). Those are Skeleton Remains of various types (horses and humans), perfect for any battlefield or even for the Abbey!
But this is not all. For the last 3 days of this Kickstarter, we are making the last dash towards the end, and we are making it easier for all backers involved! We are dropping the Stretch Level goals at every level. Here they are:
After 48 hours, you have chosen the new add-ons for the 3D Bases Kickstarter!!! It's nice to see that all those Add-ons have the Abbey, a sign that indeed it's a very loved piece! We have also our first 16-pack Add-on!
Here they are:
regards. Lorenzo.

thanks for your comment on the bases
effectively Australia is very far from Italy.
therefore, shipments cost much.
but we are working to get the best estimates.
