Pledge Manager Reminder: Last days!
about 3 years ago – Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 06:57:11 PM

Hi dear friends,


Thanks to all of you who have filled out the survey on Backerkit.

We planned to close the pledge manager in mid-March, but there are still 15% of backers who have not been able to answer their survey, we hope they will do so in the next few days.


Due to this, the deadline to close the pledge manager has been extended, and thus give time to the backers who have not yet answered.

The pledge manager will close on April 2.

This is the deadline to complete your survey on Backerkit, if you don't do it before this deadline, you will be put on a waiting list to retake your survey later, after organizing the production and pledges of the backers who did complete their survey before April 2.



We continue working for you!

We will keep you informed of progress and news.


Kind regards.

Special packs: Painted Scenery and Upgrades
about 3 years ago – Sun, Feb 14, 2021 at 04:22:55 PM

Hi dear friends,

In the Pledge Manager of Dark Stones - The Cult Begins we have included 2 new Add-Ons sections, below we give you more information about it:

Painted Scenery

Here you will find scenery packs painted by us, both from Dark Stones and from our previous campaigns: Undead Graveyard and Battleruins.

In the description of each of the packs you will find the complete list of all the pieces that are included.

Upgrades: Painting Service

Here you can include the painting service for your scenery packs that you got in this Kickstarter.

The painting service is available for all pledge levels:

  •  Upgrade Painting: Dark Stones (Cultist Priest): Includes the painting of all the pieces of your Cultist Priest pledge, 100 pieces in total.
  •  Upgrade Painting: Arcane Altar (Great Cultist): All the packs of this pledge level are available, so you can add the painting service of the pack you have chosen in the survey.
  •  Upgrade Painting: Arcane Altar (Minor Cultist): You can add to your order the painting service of the scenery pack you have chosen (Arcane Skull, Hastur Stone, Minor Cultist, Cthulhu Statue).

To add an Upgrade Painting to your order you must also have added the scenery pack for which you want to add the painting service.

This means that if you add Upgrade Painting: Magic Crystal (Great Cultist), you must have the Magic Crystal item in your order, it can be part of your pledge or you can include it as an add-on.


Why is it called HQ Painted?

It's a special service that is made to order and as it has so much detail it cannot be done in bulk, each piece is hand painted with the best paintings on the market for miniatures. The main brands we work with are Vallejo and Citadel, high quality acrylics.

After painting, all the pieces have a layer of Matte Varnish to protect the paint.

We don't have a stock of painted pieces for sale, painted scenery is made to order and that's why we can't show you pictures of painted scenery pieces in large quantities.

However, throughout the painting process we will show you photos of the painted scenery in future updates.

If you wonder what level of paint we offer, the answer is: The same that you can see in the images of the campaign.

Here we show you some images of Hastur Stone so you can see the real level of our HQ Painted. This is our quality in the painting service as you can see in the pictures below:

Front and Back View

Here we show you other pieces more closely painted in our studio:

Tombstones from Undead Graveyard collection
Arcane Stones pack
Tombstones from Undead Graveyard collection
Magic Crystal pack

Shipping and Protection

All the painted pieces are sent protected in foam and bubble wrap, separated in custom boxes so that they travel safely and arrive in optimal conditions to you.


If you have any question don't hesitate to write us and we will gladly help you.

Have a wonderful day :)

Kind regards.

Backerkit: Pledge Manager and Pre-Order Store
about 3 years ago – Sat, Feb 13, 2021 at 08:45:53 PM

Hi dear friends,


The Pledge Manager for Dark Stones - The Cult Begins is now available on Backerkit.

When you log in, you will be able to provide us your necessary details to send your reward, as well as get add-ons to complete your gaming table.


Please, make sure you add all the Add-Ons you want since the orders will be closed and charged after you fill the pledge manager, within 24/48 hours.


Shipping costs

All rewards travel safely. Shipments include tracking number and insurance.


Shipping costs don't include customs fees or any special taxes that may apply in some countries of destination outside the European Union. Due to Brexit, this also applies to the UK. 

Your local authority may apply some charges (as prescribed by local rules and practices) once the package arrives at customs.


We do everything possible so that you don't have additional customs costs when receiving your reward, but we cannot guarantee it since it depends on the customs protocols in each country.


Doubts and Questions

If during the process on Backerkit you have any questions don't hesitate to send us a message via Kickstarter and we will gladly help you. 


For any specific questions regarding your pledge, please send us a private message via Kickstarter. That way we can have a history of the queries or specifications relating to each of your pledge. It's the best way to manage your query and not lose important information.


You will receive the invitation to Backerkit in the email that you have registered in Kickstarter, please check your inbox and also spam/junk mail.



I did not receive the invitation email from Backerkit

If you have not received the invitation email from Backerkit, you can access the survey through the following link:
