Hello all, we are back with another update to announce that the backerkit is now live.
We have been announcing new kits for the backerkit for a while now and today is no different. Introducing the new LGT board set!
This awesome terrain will be available on the pledge manager and comfortably fills a 4x4 table. Our competitive players in the office LOVE it.
Also introducing the Wonderhive! This kit comes in four different colours so you can combine multiples together and make for a really colourful board!
You should have already had an email to invite you to the pledge manager. If not then let us know via messages :)
Enjoy!

Hello Everyone!
Since we last posted a lot has been going on here. The funding has come through from Kickstarter and everything is progressing forward steadily.
We have placed a large order for the wood which has arrived today! We also placed an order for two very large custom printers that have now been built, boxed up and are on their way to us as we speak.
Also, I think we have enough ink here for a while!
Our artist has been working on finalising the skin options. As we mentioned the traitor colour scheme has been unlocked. Here is a sample of the Classic, Modern and Traitor schemes.
The last you saw of the Gore Channel was a test piece and a render, well, here is the finalised product in all its Gore-y.
We have been eluding to surprises on the backerkit and I think it is about time we showed you one. A large one at that! This new kit can be assembled in one layout to be almost a meter wide! Each section is modular and can be stacked up, spread out and connect to all of our other existing Hive kits.
This will be available in colour on the backerkit, along with our other surprise yet to be revealed.
We know you are anxiously waiting for said pledge manager and we are happy to announce it will be going live on the 12th of December.
We will be back again with another update when the backerkit launches.
Campaign Roadmap

Hello everyone, we are here with the campaign progress update that we promised over the weekend.
Right now we are waiting for kickstarter to clear all the funds, this process usually takes anywhere from three to four weeks. However, in the mean-time we have now ordered two new, larger printers to join our existing one, as well as a bulk MDF order specifically to cater to the demand of the kickstarter. This is going to allow us to complete, if not exceed our delivery estimate of March 2025.
The traitor skin for the full stronghold kit was not unlocked during the campaign itself, but considering the amount of people who have emailed asking to late pledge we will be releasing it with the backerkit when it goes live.
This is not however the surprise we were eluding to in a previous update ;) ...
Whilst we wait for funds to clear and orders to arrive, our designers will be busy finalising the designs ready for production.
We will be back again with more updates once the backerkit goes live, which we are planning to be by the end of this year.
Once again, thank you to everyone that backed, we will be in touch again soon!
Thank you!

Thank you all so much for backing this kickstarter. As the last few hours approach we are happy to see how popular these designs and colour schemes have been.
As promised yesterday, we have a little surprise for you. A kit that stands on its own or fits seemlessly into the negative space of the ruined chapel (which you can see here shadowed out) creating what once was the front of a grand entranceway.
Below is the reverse view of this new kit and it will aesthetically match the ruined chapel which has been a very popular addition to people's pledges.
This kit will be available as an Add-On as of this moment and if you purchase this kit and the ruined chapel, they can be assembled together as illustrated below. Enabling you to have a eye-catching centrepiece for your board or two separate gothic ruins.
We showed you some renders of the Canal System earlier in the week and now we have properly finalised and textured it. Below you can see the full kit laid out on our game board.
We have also been working on the Gore Channels kit and texturing that to match the Gore Pits. This is still a work in progress at the moment but is very close to what the final product will be.
Once again we would like to thank each and every one of you for backing this campaign. We are thrilled by the support we have seen for this terrain and are very excited to expand upon this in the future across our other ranges. But for now, we are focusing on getting this project set for completion and delivery.
In due course we will release the backerkit where you can finalise your colour selections for the pledges but do keep an eye on future updates for when that will be. We may yet have some surprises unique to backerkit, after all, we know how competitive some of you can be ;) so look forward to that!
