Hey, just been on your site and ordered a set of 6 cottages, they look great and can't wait to get them. Hope the Ks goes well. Any plans for a fantasy based one in future?

Many thanks, I'll get some pics uploaded in the gallery once I've painted a few. Well if this ks goes well for you, it would definitely be worth considering after you've finished fulfilling.
It has been two weeks since I launched my Kickstarter
www.kickstarter.com/projects/wargame-model-mods/integrated-wargame-buildings
It has been an amazing experience so far for me I have thoroughly enjoyed making the new buildings for the stretch goals, hearing your suggestions and ideas.
The feedback and messages I have been getting about it has inspired me to keep adding more stretch goals and to add more features and freebies.
The video shows the current stretch goals, some new ones and a massive surprise addition to the project.
Head over to the Kickstarter page for the full campaign and if you like what you see, please sign up to a pledge so I can keep making new buildings and coming up with new ideas.
There are several more stretch goals in development.

Good timing on this kickstarter, my buddy and I are replacing our terrain after a house fire destroyed everything we had. Bumped up my pledge from the 5 building pack to 10 and i'm still having trouble deciding what to get because everything looks great! Keep up the awesome work.

Have you considered selling the lighting/motor kits separately? some people may already have existing buildings they wish to light up or add motion to.
I promised my girlfriend I wouldnt buy anything until next month so I'll be cutting it close on my pledge, but I'll give what I can. Really loving the skypad and detail sheets!

hello
yes i have given this much thought, the problem is if you have built the building then addind the kits post construction would prove quite difficult, adding motion would be just as hard. the other problem is the buildings have been altered to allow acces for the wires and leds.
getting a drill or other tool in to do this on interior walls or hard to reach places may not be possilbe

Alternatively will there be options for some of the new building designs without the LEDs/ motors? I like some of the buildings but not sure i need them lit/ moving for gaming purposes.

At the moment plans only exist for integrated versions.
You could just not add the electronic parts to them. Some of the kits, the hub for example, you would not notice if you didn’t add lights.
But others like the promethea pump cannot be built with out them
Automatically Appended Next Post:
Both the Street lights and Smoke generaters have been unlocked.
These are some street lights to add to your buildings / boards they will look great on top of other buildings, on corners or tucked away in crevasses. They are very small 36 x 36 x 115mm. They are made from laser cut mdf that has a pattern cut in it that allows it to bend.
£5 each or £20 for 5
Red, Green, White, Blue or RBG colour change.
These are not available as a building choice in a bundle pledge.
A small smoke generator that will fit into my standard chimney design. These are available in one and two chimney versions. They emit a small stream of smoke that dissipates after about 50cms and will drift upwards. It uses 0.3ml of fluid at a time.
Each kit contains one MDF ring to hold the generator in the chimney. 10ml of the smoke liquid, one smoke generator, one battery pack, one battery power cable, cable connecter, and syringe.
Add £15 to your pledge for a single kit.
Add £28 to your pledge for a double kit suitable to add to dual chimneys or two buildings.
Each generator needs 10 AA batteries to run.
Extra smoke fluid can be added, for £3.50 for 50ml add this to your pledge.
The smoke generator comes with the parts to add this to my chimneys but it can be added to any of my other buildings by drilling a 6ml hole and inserting the unit into the hole. It needs to be placed in an accessible area as the fluid needed needs to be inserted into the top of the module.

The skypad is a huge landing platform that can hold even the largest flying machines. It features 12 lights on the top to light up anything on top of it, as well as lights around the outside. The ramps have a fairly gentle climb so most models will stand on them nicely. There is a gangway and a tower in the works for this building as well and will be available separately at a later date. Measures 300 x 350 x 60 mm.
Add £17 to your pledge.
Detail Sprue Unlocked
This small sprue is packed to the brim, it makes up two extractor fans and two solar panels, and also has 4 small hatches, It is great for adding some personality to your buildings.
One free for everyone getting a building, additional sets can be added for £1 each. This sprue will not be available after the kickstarter.
I was asked for pictures of my buildings set up in a game.
I don’t have any areas large enough other than my floor so i have had to use that. We have a 4x3 foot and a 4x6 foot rectangle taped on the floor to represent the table top.
I have also done several setups ranging from sparse to dense on both sizes, and tried to use as many different buildings as possible.
I started with the Eldar style buildings and did a simple set up on the 3x4 table. We have all three of the Eldar buildings and most of the barricades. These three buildings provide impressive coverage and block line of sight across the middle of the table but allow it down the edges of the table, the buildings and barricade provide plenty of cover for models.
Next i moved on the other types of buildings again we have a sparse set up on the small table size.
Here we have the Reactor cores, Rubbish furnace, Tech post, the Node and Tool factory. The buildings break up the table effectively, giving several different routes with varying lengths of line of sight.
A view from above
Adding some models to the table, we have a mix of tanks, troops and a flyer.
Now we add some more buildings and swap some to larger buildings, in this set up the flyer has much less freedom as line of sight is blocked a lot more. The flyer will sit comfortably on the top of most my buildings due to them being flat and the ability to remove items such as guns. The buildings in this picture are the Reactor cores, the Hub, Pylon, Beacon, Armoury and Tool factory.
Here we have kept the same buildings but spread them out over the large size table, we also have much larger demo armies. This set up provides much larger lines of sight but still have plenty of areas to hide.
Now I have filled the board up with more buildings, I have added the Sector base, Tech post, and both versions of the Power station. This setup has reduced a lot of the long line of sight but left a couple. There is still plenty of room to move large models around.
Here i have swapped out the smaller building for large ones. The new buildings added are the Sector base, Tech centre, Hydrocarbon power plant and Missile factory. This set up now blocks line of sight a lot more for taller models like tanks and flyers.
Let’s take a look down low from the models perspective. The buildings do a great job at blocking line of sight, even with a packed table there is plenty of room to manoeuvre tanks and vehicles.
21st stretch goal - locked
Modular stackable hab units, with Perspex windows and a huge array of detail.
Measures 100 x 95 x 50mm
22nd stretch goal - locked
Modular stackable hab units, with Perspex windows and a huge array of detail. This is a double size unit
Measures 100 x 95 x 50mm
23rd Stretch goal - locked
Large hab unit, it can have the smaller units stacked on the centre and they will tessellate around the outside. Single hab unit will fit around the tower, but stand proud by 1mm around the edges.
The lunar outposts come with doors and some of the windows are optional, they can be solid panels or window panels. The buildings are pretty quick and simple to make and look great. There is a larger version to come and a few extras for them.
The temporal distortion field has a rotating section that spins around the central plasma ball.
The rotating arms are mounted on two metal ball bearings and powered directly from the motor rotating about once a second.
The building is pretty compact and has the motor and batteries in the top and the whole plasma ball can be removed to allow easier battery change.
Final add-on. A set of wide corridors for the lunar out post buildings, three in a set a small airlock and a 75mm corridor and 150mm corridor. They can fit straight up against your buildings or have an airlock bulkhead on the side facing out.
Final stretch goal has been unlock at £23000.
This is the tower to fit on the skypad. It comes with ladders, various detail panels such as fans and grills and 4 barricades high enough to block line of site.
If you have the skypad pledge add £12 for the tower. If you would like both add £29.
I have been asked by a fair few people about a pledge manager. I will not be using one.
This means if there is items you would like on here you need to pledge for them before the time runs out. you will not be able to add after the kickstarter is over.
Regarding post cost, please make sure you have added the charge quoted by kickstarter when pledging or altering a pledge.
If you want to run your pledge past me to check it’s correct please do so.
A massive lunar outpost building, featuring plastic windows, doors and optional wall panels, you can choose between having some of them windows or solid panel.
