Dear Backers,
The long wait for the War of the Aetherblade wave is almost over!
We know that you have been waiting patiently for its arrival, and we want to thank you for your continued support, communication, and understanding throughout this crowdfunding campaign. We know it’s been very different from the pre-order campaigns run directly by the Four Horsemen that many of you are used to.
We have some news to share on the shipping front and wanted to be transparent about the information. As you know the shipping delays have been quite a challenge, here's why... Two weeks after our freight was picked up and started making its way over to the US our fulfillment company, Funagain Games & Logistics, informed us that they were going out of business. They were an industry leader in helping small companies with an idea & a dream to fulfill Kickstarter campaigns. Those who frequently back Kickstarter campaigns might be familiar with them. Unfortunately, the repercussions of the pandemic had taken their toll. This was unexpected and has caused us some significant scrambling and unexpected costs that we've been working through to ensure your product arrives safely in your hands as soon as possible. It’s literally been ships, trains, and automobiles.
Thankfully, the Four Horsemen have stepped in to help us fulfill these orders, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.
We also understand that some of you have had questions about the shipping costs being different from typical shipments you receive from the Horsemen. We want to clarify the reason for this is that our backend order management and processing partner, BackerKit, calculates the end shipping costs differently than a typical retail storefront would. And, we do not have access to the same discounted rates that a high-volume retailer has. Although the Horsemen are helping us to ensure that your orders are delivered to you, we are unable to use their volume shipping discounts because we are on different backend systems. They have worked with us both logistically AND contributed financially to minimize the final shipping cost to you as much as possible.
Also, as typical in Kickstarter and other crowdfunding campaigns, the total shipping charges are included at the end to ensure backers pay the most accurate rate. If you remember from 2 years ago when we ran this campaign, global freight shipping costs were at record highs so luckily it has come back to a somewhat normal rate today.
As for the timeline, you should have already received an email from BackerKit letting you know the shipping amount that will be automatically charged. Once your card is validated, your order will be sent to Four Horsemen Studios to pack n ship. If your card was declined, or you have not entered a valid shipping address and phone number, please update now.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time, and we apologize for any frustration and inconvenience this may have caused. We know you're excited to receive your product, and we want to assure you that we are working very hard to get it to you as soon as possible. Again, we can't thank the Horsemen enough for their continued support and help to ensure that their community is well served. They are truly awesome! We couldn't have done it without you, and we can't wait for you to experience the excitement and adventure of Mythic Legions Tactics: War of the Aetherblade.
Best,
The Great Hall Games Team

Hello Backers,
Please continue to bear with us as we work with BackerKit to finalize the shipping costs and get this product out to you. We are working with the BackerKit team to make tweaks to our account so we can get you the lowest cost possible. This is taking extra time but will be worth it. Please continue to be patient as we will have this fixed very soon.
Please verify your orders and update your address in Backerkit if you have not already done so. There is a good number of people who still have not provided their information. Contact us at mythiclegionstactics.com with any order-related issues.

Happy Weekend Backers! The Great Hall Games team thanks you for your patience while we make sure all accounts/orders are accurate...and while we are working with BackerKit to make sure you get the best shipping rate possible. We know this Forge + Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the videogame has worked a little differently than a typical pre-order directly from 4HM that many of you are used to - so THANK YOU for your support!!!
Please please please do a final check on your BackerKit account to make sure your order is accurate. PRO TIP: Use a desktop to check your order. For some reason, we've found that people checking their orders on mobile are not seeing their full order. For any order issue, please reach out to our Customer Care team asap at [email protected]. We are ready to help!
We plan to start shipping products very soon. This week you will receive an email from BackerKit notifying you when they will be charging cards for shipping and begin fulfillment. If you've checked your order and it's correct then you do not need to do anything else except wait for the goodness to show up. We reviewed the shipment this week and the figures look AMAZING!

Hello Backers,
Our Backer Kit rep has created this link to help with log-in issues. If you are having trouble logging in to your account, or you're receiving an "account not found" message, please use this link. Also, we've seen many backers using multiple email accounts so make sure you're using the right one you used when backing the campaign.
https://mythic-legions-tactics.backerkit.com/faq#contact-us
Also, we have not unlocked the pay-for-shipping option because Backer Kit defaulted to a single shipping rate which for some orders came out extremely high. We are working with them to revise these rates. Please stay tuned.
