Afternoon Backers,

We've got an update for physical and digital backers today.  At the moment, we have all but the kobold and hobgoblin characters.  About 5-6 of each faction. We do have the 'troopers' from both factions. We intend to start distributing waves of the digital minis any day now and I'll review more down the page a bit.  We are looking at shipping physicals by September as well and more on that in a bit too.

Pinna's Healing Salve - Freebies!

We know we are a few months overdue and don't like it one bit.  What we are going to do is provide some free stuff for both the physical and digital backers to cure the wait on our tardiness.

Digital Backers will receive free of charge our FOrx and SPorx Cutlery Kit which features our fantasy and space orc range and lots of goodies for customizing orc models. Who doesn't need more orcs in their dungeon???

Physical Backers eligible for stretch goals will receive an extra tray of basic 'Nare-Do-Wells' in their packages too.  This is a test shot of a tray of items that includes several basic kobolds, hobgoblins, goblins and other critters.  Somewhere between 10 and 20 models.  We are still working on the sizing and composition so we can do this effectively and the models will be mono-pose with fixtured heads.  That will allow us to pack the most content on the tray for you.  We think this is a pretty cool bonus for the physical orders and will certainly help populate your dungeon!

Lastly, we've lined up Patrick Keith to do a repose of Pinna as a hearty adventurer with a staff and spell book (maybe that tome from Mixlax's table!) suitable for dungeon delving.  We will include this in the digital backer reward as well as an additional printed model on the freebie tray for the Physicals.

All of these freebies will be available to any new backers that hop on the pre-order too.  The pre-order is at a higher pricing level than the original crowd funder though.

Once again, we want to make sure you're happy with the project and we think these items will help compensate for our delay.

Why The Delay

It's been pretty hectic in 2025.  We started with about 70% of our raw materials sourced in the US and needed to move the rest over to a US source.  Hunting that down and getting new materials qualified has been a pretty significant chore.  We are happy to say that we're at 99% of US sourced raw materials. 

One big assist came from a US company, 3DRS, who we've worked with for quite some time.  They helped us formulate our 3D print resin so that we could get the performance we needed locally.  If you print minis and are US based, check them out here...  3DRS website.  They have some great materials and offer free shipping!

Our metal supplier also helped us source a US Based replacement silicone and resin for our plastic process.  Waking up to potential 50% EU tariffs one random morning was a bit of a shock, but we think we have this under control too.

All in all, it takes a great deal of time just to figure out what we need to replace, find a reputable source and then test all the different material options to make sure they do what we want them to do.  We certainly learned a lot but definitely didn't plan to have to do it!

Delivery Timing

We will start the digital distribution of models soon via MyMiniFactory.  We have everyone's pledge manager emails for distribution.  It will take about 3-5 more weeks because we still need to finish supporting and test printing many of the the models we have.  That said, we are distributing the goblins and the Orx shortly to all the digital recipients along with a few others.

Digital Delivery
We should be distributing files in this order...

Physical Delivery
We are looking to get the physicals shipping by September.

So How About The Latest Models...

These are our Hobgoblin Brandbearers and the Kobold Legionaries & Veles along with the Black Iron Pact and Soul Binders...

Wrap Up

That wraps us this update.  Thanks for your patience with us and we hope Pinna's Healing Potions more than restores your necessary hit point loss for our delay!

Thanks!
Dave

Afternoon Backers,

We have just released the Kobold Legion to MyMiniFactory for those who selected pledges with the Digital Box! Check your emails for the invites.
 
We've also setup a new metal model & digital download to support MCDM's DRAW STEEL Launch and the Delian Tomb module. More on that in a moment.  First let's talk all things production for this project...

 
So far we have released digital files for the Kobold Legion, all Villain Parties, Jagged Edge Goblins, Pinna and the  Complimentary FOrx. The Hobgoblins and Slaughter Demon remain and we should release those shortly. The Slaughter Demon will be last because he's hugemongus and taking a bit of effort to get him parted properly so it will fit in the resin pots.

We do still have some models outstanding from our artists for the Hobgoblin Incendiarist & Warmage, the Grilps and the Kobold Artifex Traps. We will send those out as they arrive and expect them in the next few weeks.

As of this moment, we have turned off the option to Pre-Order the Digital Box.  The only way to get the digital box at a discount is if someone were to order a physical reward that includes the Digital Box (ie The Worx).  All of the files we are releasing are now available for purchase on our website (www.trenchworx.com) and our MyMiniFactory site.  

If you HAVE NOT gotten your notices for digital files - CONTACT US at [email protected] so we can get you sorted.

We are still planning to start shipping this project's physical goods in September.

We have designed a new variation of Queen Bargnot!  We always wanted a model of our beloved Queen able to stand and fight PC incursions into the Jagged Edge. We never achieved the stretch goal in the last two projects, so we went ahead and made sure she was available.  You can order a metal version or a digital down load at www.trenchworx.com.

Backers can use the coupon code MATCHMEHKG to get Free Shipping with your physical reward.  We will match her to your order at time of shipment in September.  You can also order her for shipment today with free shipping starting at $100 on the website.

Queen Bargnot is also available as a Digital Download too on our site and at MyMiniFactory.

That wraps up this update.

Thanks!

Dave

Afternoon Backers,

'Stand & Fight!' Queen Bargnot and Wine'y have been added to the PRE-ORDER add-on page! The fine folks at backerkit help us sort out how to match this new order to your current pledge which we have already locked.  We are now able to combine them in backerkit when we ship your minis.  She is also available as a digital download here or on MyMiniFactory or our Trenchworx Website.

PRE-ORDER STAND AND FIGHT QUEEN BARGNOT HERE!

Have a great weekend!

Dave
