Very nice looking!

How many wall platforms do you think you used in designing that though?

I see rounded platforms as well.

Excited to build something like that myself, that's for sure!

Are we getting 'rounded' parts too - because that would be great!

And unexpected!

They are in the add on section right now, but no free ones listed in the SG yet.

I guess I should pay a little closer attention!

Thanks!

We will see , and later confirm if you can exchange straight walls for round walls + platforms.

We have to make it such way it is not super confusin you know?

My first idea is: you can exchange 8 straight walls for 4 round + platfrom.

OR 4 stratight + 4 platform for 4 round + platform

Each "item" would have a value of "1 part". however all would be exhange in 4s or 8s not custom changes like "i want 3 round walls with platformso i exchange 4 straight walls and 2 straight pltforms".


THAT would kill us in the packaging..

I'd love to exchange some 'straight' for 'rounded' but I can see that it would make a LOT more work for you!

Still, either way, you should try and get that final decision out there as soon as possible, and before the end!

It might be best to just create a stretch goal and/or add on of however many round walls and platforms you want to set it at and leave it at that. I think backers would have an easier time adding stuff in the pledge manager rather than swapping and it would help everyone keep track of everything.

In at gold, but I would love for the platform packs to have a few more than 4 for $5. Relative to the higher funding levels, they just seemed overpriced at that level. At 8 for $5, I could be lured into buying a pack or two.

Also, just an idea. Put your walls in packs of a given number for the backers (I dunno, somewhere between 4-10) and that way standard orders are made up of x number of packs. Given an option to swap out two straight packs for two curved packs at gold level, 1 for 1 at silver, or something along those lines. That way when packaging, you're just swapping pre-grouped packs instead of a few here and a few there.

The Lumber Kit has just been unlocked at $42k.

Next stretch goal is the 'Modular Hovel Kit' at $55k.

Also announced overnight (to us in Europe it was overnight anyway) is the addition of a 'Full Circle pack' consisting of 16 curved wall sections and 16 curved internal platform sections. The diameter of the circle will be about 27cm, and the price per pack is $30.

"Important to note is that the paints are of low quality 3D prints, not real quality parts, those 3D print are 100 microns, while the real quality will be 25microns, same used for my miniatures Smiley"

At 55K, the plastic hovels add-on will be available for $15, for two small or one larger hovel. Each gold level has 9' of plastic walls, twelve towers, five gates, three keeps, 38 bases, accessories, and $53 trade-in for the pewter pieces for plastic.

EDIT: Three $60 Gold pledges left! Four whole bucks! Enough to buy a Viking chess table!

Waiting for these stone walls to be added to the kickstarter:



They would be a great addition and could be used in a variety of ways to give diversity of appearance to the upcoming hovels, as well as a whole lot of other things.

I haven't backed (yet) but I think the creator said in comments that the stone wall is an old, unrelated project that will not be a part of this campaign.

Wooden pieces look like a good deal regardless, I gotta say. Trying to save my pennies for Warpath but these guys will probably get 64$ out of me by the end.

Can't decide still if I want the figures, since I don't have any remotely normal humans really, or just more scenery.

Unlocked hovels will probably bid adieu to the guys.

May have to add on some stuff in a pledge manager if they do one, as I was trying to factor in spending for Warpath and I'd already budgeted for just a gold pledge for this.

Ah well, the stone walls are not going to be made available.

Waiting for the 'Hovels' design to be released, though it will be simply a 'work in progress', but would have liked a series of buildings to go together. I do not think the project creator expected the KS to succeed as it has and therefore didn't plan for this much backing.

7.5K to hovels!

Each hovel $15 add-on contains two hovels which can be combined into a larger house. Multiple hovels can make a long hall.

You can trade in the pewter miniatures for $53 in credit for plastic items!

Waiiiiit a minute. That's crazy! $53 credit towards other pieces if you go in at $64! That's just too good to be true... But the opposite for my wallet!

Btw, will they have EU-friendly shipping?

Thanks CED1106 for posting!

Mymearan, yes, EU friendly :0

Where is the official announcement about the possibility of trading in the pewter minis? That's highly tempting (I don't really need more Dark Ages soldiers, but more hovels would be ace).

Thank you!

95% done with the hovels

We are 50K... 70 more gold backers and the hovel kit is unlocked!!

Hi! here a bring proper big renders:

Added a small addon for those who "really wanted" the stone wall set.

Digital file?! Too much work. I'm buying plastic fencing instead of gluing together popsickle sticks, just take my moneys and turn it into stuff, and then send it right to my door!

Menhir Games, will the game be "Argentina Friendly"? Where will stuff ship from? With the import restrictions and taxes here, will it be a viable option for us, gamers in Argentina?

This is a really cool project! terrain is the weak point in my collection.

I'll probably be in for gold. With what's included, and what I can trade some of the pewter for, I can have a nice Nordic table of terrain.
