Yep, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th - or 9th of November. Or something. I wonder how long the delays on this one will be once it's complete? Also, ending on 9th of December isn't really particularly friendly, so I might have to skip this one now, when if they'd gotten it running earlier I'd have definitely been in.

KS can take up to a week to approve a campaign, don't forget. Maybe it was submitting on the 2nd. Or they were waiting production proofs? (ya know, what everyone jumps down Mantic's throat for not having)

Well, they appear to have a working camera, so they're already off to a good start over Mantic...

++Update Games & Gears Battle Board Kickstarter++

-Games & Gears Battle Boards will go live this Saturday 9th of November 2013, 5pm UK GMT Time 12pm EST & 9amPST

-Initial Rewards to be announced within the next 8 hours.

Any chance of the paint racks making it out the door before the KS rises up and swallows you until Christmas?

Hobby Gears Racks should be finished by the end of next week (mass production). Then packing/handling and sending to our warehouses in the USA, Canada & UK then dispatched to you. Estimated time of dispatch end of November. But we hope a delightful surprise if we can do it mid November.

I hope you anounce what the "x2" (two sets of 6 boards) early bird / pledge level is set at, as that's what it looks like a friend and I will likely be splitting now

Cool, my paint area is a fething state, I NEED those racks!

Oh, just missed this one, I went in for the Battlesystems KS. I wish you luck this time round, hope the prices have been sorted out as well!

. The Hobby Gears Racks are sweet .

No worries and thanks for the best wishes. We cannot wait to launch!

Mine is in a really organised state, but still got 6, I do not object to better organisation.

My issue is that I'd don't have a defined painting area, I re-started a few years back with the intention of just picking up some models to paint, and I am still using that Citadel Paint Station as a lap tray!

Of course, we all know you can't do this hobby just a bit, so since then, every flat surface within even semi-easy reach has now become covered in paint pots, models and hobby tools!

I'm moving in a few months, and have the luxury of having a say in the layout of the new place, so will have a more organised space, but I'll still need something to organise my paint!

If there are any left after the weekend, I might order a other one, as since I placed my pre order, I've bought more paint!

War is coming to your table top at home. Only 1000 Early Birds, in honor of our Previous KS backers, FB fans & Dakka supporters (also all the lurkers who want in). Rest of the Rewards to be revealed. Be warned we expect them to sell out soon! But we think there is enough early bird rewards around for the 1st 1000 rewards. The MSRP will be aprrox 125.00GBP for a Games & Gears 6 by 4 Battle Board. So the KS Prices will be less than the MSRP but much less. Which makes Games & Gears Battle Boards Epic Awesome Value for money .

Well, there's no discount for the higher pledges, so I might go separate from my friend after all. Less to work out that way!

Amongst the Early Birds you are correct.

Ah, that makes more sense then

You might want to think about what happens when people in an EB for, say, one board would like to get two or three or what have you when more options are unlocked. I'm interested in one, but might go as high as three (maybe four?) - but that's entirely dependant on what gets shown as the campaign evolves. Still, it puts people in the 62UKP slots in an odd position if they want to add more as time goes on, if it means they lose their EB slot...

I wasn't considering backing this now, but £62 for a 6x4 board is pretty tempting. Shame I'm out when it launches though

1000 Early Birds seems a bit optimistic. Secret Weapon only had 1,395 backers total.

that's $100 for a 6x4 plastic modular board, which is an insanely good deal. i don't think they will have any problem selling out of Early Birds.

Got to agree with that, the secret weapon boards didn't interest me purely on the basis that even at the KS price they were more expensive than a realm of battle board from a discounted retailer for a UK person like myself. Being able to get something modular without tonnes of sculpted detail that repeats or causes wobbly model syndrome is a big draw, but even if the EB's somehow make up the majority of the pledges at least we've got them for a hell of a price compared to MSRP.

To be released on the 08/11/2013. Special cast on the Games & Gears Battle Boards with a lot of info prior the Games & Gears Battle Board Kickstarter. A guide into the upcoming Kickstarter! We will post a link here for your to tune in!

Remind me again, a 6x4 makes a 4x4 board right? so 2 6x4 would make 3 4x4, correct?

The individual tiles are 2x2, so should be fine, yes

Correct

Yep, so a friend and I each getting a 6x4 will result in our having three 4x4 tables for DzC

Glad I remembered correctly.

++Under 16 Hours to Go!! Don't miss out on the Early birds!!++
