Wha...?!?

It was pretty well stalled out, so I guess Maki/Manorhouse figured it was better to pull out rather than risk not funding for some reason. I can't see why anyone considers a project that doesn't meet it's funding goal any more a failure than one that the create preemptively cancels.

Anyhow, if they do re-work the project and try again, I hope they ditch the sewer tiles and put the stairs and wooden platforms in the base kit.

I hope they do. I had plans to make a kick butt Malifux table for my FLGS.

Yeah I'm really disappointed by this :( was in for 7 sets for Malifaux but it stalled at just ove $50,000.

Instead of focusing on one box, they should break it up into three boxes. The main issue with the main box by itself, there was only so many ways you could customize it that overall made it limited. Or rather until we got it, backers couldn't fully grasp the different combinations that could be done. That has a tendency to make people back more reserved.

If it was broken into a couple boxes then they could do a Sewers/Subway box, Floors/Rooms Box, Accessories Box. It still needs work, that was just an example though.

For me, I'd have gone in for much more than two boxes if A; it was split into walls kit/floor kit/accessories kit(stairs etc), in various themes, and B; if Gothic walls had been available from the start.

However, I do understand why they went with the big box approach rather than A, since I assume they want this to end up in FLGS globally eventually and that's easier with fewer SKUs, but it's not an insurmountable issue(they could produce the sprues in that 3-way split and offer them that way during the KS and through their own webstore, but package them in themed boxed sets for sale through retail(and maybe offer a "retailer-only" pledge of many many such boxes through the KS to drive the number up).

Hopefully we see them back soon and things go better, because this is something I really want to see happen.

Damn. Hope it returns in some form. My ninja turtle sewer hangout will have to wait.

Well, they could have done some "KS only" add-ons like this, where only backers could get more of certain parts. Additionally, this would give them feedback on how to package the boxes for retail, if they find out a particular add-on was frequently purchased with a box.

I also read that some didn't back the project because of its association with Minx -- despite the project being handled by Manorhouse (although I've heard something like that before...!)?

Yeah, sticking to 'sewers' as the main theme out of the gate may have been the main limiting factor here.

I know I was waiting for the 'train tracks' and more 'true' room expansions too...

Still, hopefully they learn from this and come back bigger, better and stronger - soon!

Man, that's a real shame to hear! Manorhouse really had something nice here. Let's hope they'll be back soon and be more successful, they really deserve it!

Was sad to see this go but probably for the best, hopefully next time will go better.. I'll be back for round 2

Yeah exactly my thought. I would have rather done train tracks or room expansions. I do understand the need to have a big base box but the disadvantage is the limiting factor.

Hello everyone. today was a very full day, but also sad.
since I am in society with other partners, I had to accept the decisions taken.

first of all, I thank all of you who have supported us in this project.

certainly are errors were made, to which we will put remedy

we will consider all comments received from all of you of the forum and to all who participated in the project.

I hope to see you all again in the near future.

So sad to see this get pulled. I was really starting to consider the ability to use it to build traditional buildings and ruins scenery for 40K. I think if they marketed the same product as being able to fill either dungeon or war-game scenic role, there would be a lot more interest.

Best of luck, Lorenzo!
