The theme is that of a human outpost with Gothic style walls, although you can choose to use different walls with these tiles if another set takes your fancy.
There are 6 other designs as well on this project, numerous stretch goals and 8 add-ons.

Thank you very much, unfortunately shipping costs are a nightmare and it pretty much destroys any market i would have to Australia and New Zealand.

Some more examples of how you can set up the gaming boards on my kickstarter. There a loads and loads of ways you can use them and every time you play you can be using a new layout.
We have a first look at a city board set up on a 4x4 board using buildings from my website and another one using both buildings and walls.
A space hulk style set up with boarding action between two ships alternately it could be two parts of the same base with one half captured by the enemy. This uses a few of the add-ons, the corridors and small stairs. This weekend airlocks will be added as an add-on which would add to this style of set up.
and finally a set up leaving a void in the center of the setup for buildings or use as a large open area, this area could even be a no go area making for a large board spread out in an odd shape.
The boards seen here are the Area 51 and Chaotic compound and the walls on the Area 51(blue) tiles are the Cyberspace corridors and on the Chaotic compound(red) tiles are the tech crypt walls. You can mix and max your tiles and floors to get setups like this or get an entire board of just one theme.
And you can find a huge amount of pictures on my website many of which are not on kickstarter. you can have a closer look at the tiles, walls and all the stretch goals.
Please share this around in your groups and to anyone you think may like it, this kickstarter give you the opportunity to grab these at amazing discounts.
Freebie number 2
Storage boxes
These will store 8 tiles or a large amount for walls + corners.
Area 51, Chaotic compound, Tech crypts and Labyrinth walls.
20 corners and 54 wall sections in two layers.
Cyberspace corridor and mechanical construct walls.
22 corners and 42 wall sections in three layers, two of these layers need to be laid on their sides.
Nuclear vault walls.
18 corners and 42 wall sections in three layers, two of these layers need to be laid on their sides.
Reaching £10,000 gives one of these free to everyone who has pledged for 8 or more tiles. For those with only 4 tile pledges the box would be too big, for these pledges you will get a half size box that will hold 4 tiles.
Extra boxes can be purchased for £6 each half size boxes are £4 each.
This set is themed around a mechanical cog design. The boards come with 16 cog designs that glue on the underside of the base, each cog section is individually lit and can use the standard Red, blue and green lights or Multi colour lights. (please note the colours on each set of the multi colour lights are not always the same) by having two lights in one section you can mix the colours to get even more. Multi colour lights are currently not available for the other boards as they are a different type of kit.

I really like this... it is almost exactly what I'm looking for minus 2 parts. 1) It now needs angled ramps that lead from that level to the lower level, that can be used as a roadway. 2) the lower part needs to have doors and be accessible, with rooms/dungeon/sewer within it.

hello
i don't think i have enough time to get both these added to the kickstarter, they are great ideas.
the ramp i should be able to get done but not the internal part.
if you were to pledge i would be able to sort the second part out as a post kickstarter commission

Final couple of days to grab yourself a Maze of the dead board at these prices. There will be no pledge manager so if you want to get in you need to do it during the kickstarter. They will go on general sale after every pledge has been fulfilled.
Please share this post in your gaming groups/clubs and to anyone who may be interested in this as time is running out.
If you are after one of these but do not want the lights or magnets you can choose not to have them.
There are a huge range of add-ons and stretch goals to add a lot of depth and new play style to these boards.
So far there are also several freebies, including Doors, connectors for the boards, a storage box and a small light up add-on called the relay.
They can be setup for a Huge variety of games such as Warhammer 40k/30k, Infinity, Mordhiem, Space hulk, Zone Mortalis, Dungeon crawls and any other 28mm games.
You can get just the tiles, the tiles and walls or the tiles and a selection of my buildings.
The pictures show a variety of the different boards and stretch goals, there are several other boards and a huge amount of stretch goals and add-ons to be seen on the kickstarter page.
The final stretch goal has been added and unlocked. That's it nothing else to be added now.
Thank you all for an amazing project with many of the add-ons and new stretch goals fueled by your suggestions and ideas.
