The cobble tiles are perfect for what I'm after, so I'll be nabbing at least a 24"x24"

I have a question though; how do the thickness of these compare to the GW realm of battle boards? They look like a close enough match but it might be useful to state it somewhere as the compatibility is a good thing. Sorry if it's already been mentioned somewhere; I didn't see it and can't watch the video from work

I like it in GBP, but then I'm in the UK, it's a nice change to having to worry about exchange rates and customs

Dear Herzlos,

Thank you for your support and potential pledge!!

Do you have the dimension for those boards so we can comment. Again your pledge is very much appreciated.

Best!!

I have to keep an eye out for this one. It looks interesting possibly a bit more freedom on the combination of the tiles would tempt me more but let's see.

I'll measure them tonight.

Do you mention your tile depth anywhere? That should probably be sufficient

Absolutely this was designed so you can set the scene you want on your battle field. Thank you kindly for your interest.

Best!

FAQ:

1.How high are the boards? 2cm

2.Are the boards Hollow? Yes but there is a cross section underneath

3.Have you made tests on how much weight a board can carry before it deforms/bends down)? We have tested up to 15KG per board. Clears stress test. Enough for all your heavy models. Just don't sit on it or stand on it for too long =P. We will do higher KG stress tests, but we are not sure if that is worth doing unless you tell us other wise =P... Do you have models heavier in total that 15 KG combined on a 12" by 12" board? if so let us know and we will test higher levels of stress.

4. Every Gaming Board will have 2 extra clips in addition to full amount you need to the board.

5. Each board is 12" by 12" (Inches)

yeah,

The GW boards are 1cm deep and 2'x2', so will need lifting 1cm to line up with your boards. Not difficult.
Some cheap MDF or similar will sort that out.

Or a riser/mating clip could be made...

Panic...

Absolutely, Thanks Panic =).


Update: 6% of goal so far in less than 24 hours of our initial start. We are fired up. We hope to complete the initial goal in the first few days so we can kit out your boards with all the stretch goal rewards. We thank Dakka Dakka, the community is awesome and already with your comments have all helped in this endeavor. We salute you!

Cool, it's not much of a step anyway and can be hidden easily.

Why are they so thick? I don't actually mind, I'm just curious

Dear Herzlos,

The Games & Gears clips need to be steadfast and very strong which they are to the size of the clips matter which we took into consideration.

Gaming trays & Felt Dice trays. Rolling dice on our felt dice tray is awesome and rolls well. Plus to insure gaming aids do not spill over.

These are some of the reason because of the height.

Best!!!

Anyone want to take a stab at a pro-con list between these, the GW boards, and carving up a custom board with insulation foam?

Well the problem with foam is it's not really durable (but it is cheaper)

and the breakage/denting problem gets a lot worse if it ever gets used by 'heavy handed' gamers

As hard plastic these should last longer, and look good a lot longer

I'm very interested in the prepainted 6 x 4 large scale battle board, until I saw the price! The unpainted one is a very good price but why is there a price difference of £180.00 between the two it's a bit to much for the prepaint, will sit on the fence and see for now.

Dear Orlandothetechnicoloured,

Correct, these boards are made to last as we want to add to these boards in the next 5-10 years. We already have 18 months of products in the pipeline if the Kickstarter succeeds.

So for those who love our products pledging really is the life source of this project.

Overtyrant.
The pre-painted boards are dearer this is correct. This is due to the time it take to get to the level of detail via painting we want per board. To give you an idea. It takes the same time of making x7.5 6x4 boards just to paint x1 6x4 board. This increases the cost of the pre paint.

Hope that explains the costs of pre-paint, but they do look good =D.

Best!!

As we have stated in our mission statement we are for the community and by the community.

Pre- Painted 48by72
The Pledge amount has been decreased to 200.00GBP. Limited also decreased to 100 for us to be able to do it @ that price. Since time it the biggest cost to us. Hope that helps!

Best,
Games & Gears Team

Excellent, 10% of the way there in 2 days, hopefully this will pick up steam. I need those trays!

Whilst our 40k models are very light, we need to show the integrity of the board. Privateer Press's awesome Warmahcine & Hordes metal models are heavy to say the least. Check out of all the large metal models on our Games & Gears Board





As you can see. The board is jam packed with large metal models. Whilst keep its integrity. =D

Here is our Kickstarter link! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/554355176/gaming-boards-great-quality-great-price-and-great your support is greatly apreciated.

Best!!

For a new Gaming manufacturing company we are very happy so thank and thank every single backer. We also hope to get a continuous surge to unlock all our stretch goals. Thanks =)

Best!!

I'm in for a 4x4 set

Awesome!! Thank you Herzlos!

We are doing some videos today. So we hope you enjoy them. We will also reveal our Sci-Fi battle board which will be part of the battle board selection for our Kickstarters. So they can choose from 5 options. If we hit the maximum stretch goal you can use hybrid battle boards to mix and match as you will be abe to choose 2 designs as explained on our kickstarter.

Thanks again Herzlos. Dakka Dakka community has been awesome and we are lucky to be a part of it. It is because of the Dakka members we will be releasing the sci fi board along with the rest. =)

For the community & by the community absolutely!

Best!!

Excellent that’s good news while I like the cracked earth board and have gone for the 48”x72” option it’s the Sci-Fi board I’m most interested in and I’m glad your adding it as a KS option – hopefully you are going for a tech Sci-Fi look rather than a gothic Sci-Fi look although I understand why you might opt for gothic! I might upgrade to the 48”x96” option (if I like the Sci-Fi set) were you can pick 2 different 48” square sets so as to get the best of both worlds.

Now this is good news, and a smart play given that you're up against Kingdom Death's Kickstarter.

Once the Sci-Fi board is unveiled, you should see backers and pledges increase!

I'm thinking the same thing Dave!

I have to admit I'm not sure what loadout I'll be going for, as I don't quite follow the stretch goals (I can't pay much attention at work). Probably a mix of Cobbles (for Empire Of The Dead) and sci-fi (40K) though.

I was going to just go for 2x2, then thought for another £20 I can go to 3x3, then just another £20 gets to me 4x4, and that should be big enough as I've already got the 6x4 Realm Of Battle board

ETA on revealing Sci-Fi Board. Will be tomorrow 27th November hopefully. This is a great addition as your battle scenes and stories you can tell with the selection we have now really enables you to create your worlds and battle scenes. With the unique Games & Gears Hybrid battle board system all boards can be made seamless together.

Today we are going to shoot some videos on the current battle boards which should be up in a couple of hours.

Best!!

Our Sci-Fi Battle Board was made with 40k brand games, Infinity and other games in mind. It looks cool. =D

The stretch goals, pretty much go like this. We first want to load out all your battle boards or Deluxe boards with gaming trays, once we pass those milestones we want to upgrade all the Gaming trays to the nice smooth & classy felt trays used also for gaming aids and also rolling dice (we recommend you have a felt dice tray on each opposing side left or right to roll your dice). Once that milestone is complete we want to kit you out with some extra battle boards (Deluxe boards have some neat too not revealed yet), however these boards will be the Hybrid battle boards. Enabling you to have open terrain battle merge with urban battles and so forth. If we complete all stretch goals which we would love, the next batch down the line is even better. Our success and degree of that is up to you and so far we sincerely thank you.

Best!!!

Delighted to hear that, if the sci fi board looks good I may go for a bigger board.

also 1/4th of the founding reached, come on backers!

720p HD view recommended on You Tube.

Tons of detail and sophistication. All Battle Boards come with this high level of detail & quality. If you like what you see and you want what you see. Please pledge now. Link below on banner.

Best!!

Sci Fi board to come later on today 27th of November =)

Thanks for the demonstration of sliding the model over the board. That was one of the issues I had with my last table when playing certain games!

Dear Matt,

Our pleasure. =). Our design was with the gamer in mind. Taking away all the issues you would have with the traditional textured boards.

Our high end designed products are meant to give you a quality experience where you enjoy your battle on our these lovely detailed battle boards.

All we need now is to get the word out and the community to back us in droves. There is so much more work that has been done. Each battle board in the future if our Kickstarter is successful will have additional themed textures per design so your landscape of the battle board keeps getting better and evolves and develops, enabling you to play better and tell more stories, campaigns and what not. .

29 days left. We need as many pledge bombs as we can get & must so we can unlock more of the future. Which if this Kickstarter is successful is long term and we hope in decades to come it will keep getting better.

Personally we want to see picture of our gaming boards being played on by all of you. This is what it is all about.

Humbly & best!!!

Has the Sci-Fi board been previewed yet?

Just saw this thread and have been checking everything out and all I have to say is this is AWESOME! I've been playing for awhile but have just started to get into modeling and painting so having these pre made boards looks like it could really spruce up my battlefields since as of now I've just been playing on my kitchen table. Great idea guys and keep up the good work!

Coming soon, hoping today, latest tomorrow. We have a strict process with detail and quality and you will see in this design. All I can say is that I cannot wait to play on this board and for it's hybrid boards .... then it's themed specific boards. It's looking good. As soon as I can post it. It will be on here first!

Best!!

Dear Squal,

Thanks!! we really want to get these to your homes. We have been playing on our Games & gears gaming boards for a while now and they do really make a great positive difference whilst playing our games.. Which just hope with the hopeful success of Kickstarter you will all be able to experience the same. Thanks again.

If it is as good as we all hope, I expect you'll see a rush of new pledges!

I know I'll be in for either a 4' x 6' minimum, leaning towards a 4' x 8' for that old school 40K table size battle!
