Hello Salvagers,
It's with, if we're honest at this point relief, that we're happy to announce that Wave 1 of Salvage Union has been shipped out to backers via the Leyline Press studio. We've shipped out nearly 1,000 parcels this week which is a lot of packing! However it feels really good to be sending out physical books to backers and we can't wait for them to finally be in your hands.
Specifically all Kickstarter Backers and Pre-Order Backers who ordered any of the following items have now had their items shipped.
Salvage Union Core Book
Salvage Union Special Edition
Salvage Union Crawler Patch
Salvage Union Corpo Patch
Salvage Union Dice
Any other Leyline Press game you ordered as add on (Albion Tales, Shadow of Mogg, Andromeda, Mew-Tants!)
If your order contained any items not on this list, for example Bundle orders with the Modules or the SU Poster, they have not yet been shipped as we are awaiting printing of the Modules. Apologies for this again but we hope there will only be another month or so wait for you to receive your bundles. We'll do a further update when these go out.
We have shipped Wave 1 to all of the following regions.
United Kingdom
European Union
Rest of World (Non-US)
US orders are being sent via our US distributor and not in this shipment. More info on that below.
Special Edition Order Note
The Salvage Union Special Edition includes a Dust Jacket, with a handy reference sheet, that appears identical to the Core Book cover. This means on a glance, when sealed, it can be mistaken for the standard Core Book. If you're a Special Edition backer you may as a result mistake your Special Edition for a standard Core Book. You can check if it's correct by either opening it and checking it for the blue cloth cover, or looking at the trim of the book where the cloth cover will show from the Dust Jacket. Some pictures below for clarity.

Of course if we have accidentally sent you the wrong item please get in touch via Kickstarter or [email protected] and we'll correct this for you.
Tracking and Delivery
The majority of orders with a few exceptions below are being sent tracked. You should receive an e-mail by tomorrow (16/09/2023) with tracking information to whatever e-mail to whatever address you made your order with. If you haven't received this or have any issues with your order please get in touch with us at [email protected] or via Kickstarter.
UK orders should take 1-2 business days to arrive so the majority of UK backers should have their orders by the end of next week (22/09/2023). International orders will take 7-9 business days to arrive so please allow for approximately 2-3 weeks (06/09/2023), and double check your tracking if you have issues.
UntrackedCountries
We were unfortunately not able to supply tracking for the following countries.
South Africa
Argentina
Columbia
We estimate your parcel will take 2 weeks to arrive to these countries. If you have not received your parcel within 2 weeks of this post please get in touch with us via Kickstarter or [email protected] and we'll see what we can do to get you your parcel.
United States Shipping
We've had an update on the pallets being sent to our US distributor that they should be arriving mid-October and distribution to US backers will begin then. We'll further update with more information when they arrive and begin to get sent out.
Please let us know your thoughts on Salvage Union!

Salvage Union Distribution and Fulfilment Update - Important Please Read!
18 days ago
– Fri, Sep 08, 2023 at 08:27:11 AM
Hello Salvagers,
We're incredibly happy to announce that the Salvage Union Core Book and Special Edition has arrived from the printers and is ready to distribute. We're going to start sending them out immediately, please read the below carefully for information on distribution.
UK, EU and Rest of World Distribution
We're going to begin distributing the Salvage Union on Tuesday the 12th of September to all Kickstarter Backers and pre-orders outside of the US. This includes everyone in the UK, EU and Rest of World. We hope to have everything shipped by Friday the 15th of September and will update you when shipping has completed.
We currently have the Salvage Union Core Book, Salvage Union Special Edition, patches and dice ready for distribution and will be sending out all orders that include these items.
Unfortunately as we are still awaiting the finalisation of the Adventure Modules and printing of the Posters we aren't yet able to fulfil any orders that include the Adventure Modules or Posters yet. We hope to have these printed and ready for distribution in October - November and will further update when they're ready.
We do apologise that some people will be getting their books and others wont. We of course ideally would want to send everything out at the same time, but as we've suffered a series of delays in the project at this stage we want to start getting books out to backers as soon as possible.
EU Orders and Customs Fees
Unfortunately our initial distribution option fell through due to delays in the project and external factors that made it unfeasible for us. We'll be sending out EU orders from the UK. This means some backers in the EU may receive custom charges on their orders. If you do receive charges please send us an e-mail at [email protected] with proof of your customs charge, and we'll refund your order by the amount charged. We apologise for this and hope to be able to secure a means to distribute to the EU customs free going forwards.
US Distribution
The shipment of Salvage Union Core Books and Special Editions to our US distributor is estimated to arrive in October. We'll further update when they arrive and distribution begins. We will be sending the Adventure Modules and Posters in a second shipment so as with the other orders there will be a delay between them.
BackerKit Surveys
The majority of you have filled in your BackerKit survey at this stage. However not everyone has, this is now your absolute last chance to do so before we begin distributing.
Locking Addresses
We're going to be locking ALL addresses, including US addresses, on Monday the 11th of September at 5 PM BST. If you need to update your address details this is now your last chance to do so. You can change it via BackerKit or get in touch with us.
Final chance to update your order
If you want to make any changes to your order contact us via Kickstarter or at [email protected] by Monday the 11th of September at 5 PM BST. We will not be making any changes to orders past this date. Prices on everything will be increasing ready for the retail release on the game, so now is the last chance to get any items in the Kickstarter at a reduced price.
Final chance to Pre-Order
We're going to be closing all pre-orders on Monday the 11th of September at 5 PM BST. If you haven't secured your copy, now is the last chance to do so. We will be fulfilling all pre-orders together. Otherwise you'll need to wait for the retail release of the game. Prices as noted will be increasing the price on the Salvage Union Core Book as well as Adventure Modules, from the pre-order prices so now is also the last chance to buy Salvage Union at a reduced price point.
We're finalising the Salvage Union 1.2 PDF and will be distributing this on Tuesday the 12th of September. This will be fully updated with all of the content in the Core Book.
We'll also be releasing everything on DriveThru RPG and Itch alongside the retail release of the game in the next few months.
Questions and queries
If you have any questions or queries about any of the above please don't hesitate to get in touch with us via Kickstarter or e-mail [email protected]
Pictures!
Finally here's some pics of the salvage haul of books!

Salvage Union Magpie STL Launched!
20 days ago
– Tue, Sep 05, 2023 at 08:43:46 AM
Hi Salvagers,
A short update to announce we've just sent the Magpie STL to all backers at Digital Edition 'Hacker' tiers or higher. You should now have an e-mail from BackerKit with your link to download. You can also manually check your BackerKit and download it from there. If you haven't received it please get in touch with us at [email protected] we'll help resolve it for you.
We've done a test print on our 3D printer for tolerances and it seems to have come out well. If you do however have any issues please let us know.
As a note this reward is just for Kickstarter backers and not currently available to those who pre-ordered. We don't have any current plans to sell the STL separately as we want to keep it backer exclusive for now.
You can view some images and videos of it below as well as a test print we did ourselves. As brits we love having a little maggie of our own on our desks.
We can't wait to see your own prints of the iconic Salvage Union Magpie Mech!
Salvage Union August Update

– Fri, Sep 01, 2023 at 07:30:59 AM
Hello Salvagers,
We hope you've been enjoying your summer. Here's our progress on Salvage Union this month.
Core Book Fulfilment
Good news everybody! We've received word from our printers that the Salvage Union Core Book printing has been completed! Assuming no further delays, we expect to receive them at our studio in the United Kingdom in September, with copies being sent to our distributor in the United States for October.
We will be fulfilling the Salvage Union Core Books as soon as we receive them. This means if you've placed an order for just the Salvage Union Core Book we will be shipping them within the next 1-2 months. We understand this does mean that some of you who have supported us by buying more, will be getting things a bit later, unfortunately this project has been delayed longer than we expected, and at this stage if we have books we can send out we want to get them out to backers as soon as possible.
We are working hard on fulfilling the rest of the project, and as noted in previous updates have secured a printer locally who will be able to turn the adventure modules around in a much quicker time than the printing for the Salvage Union Core Book, so we don't expect a significant delay between the Adventure Modules being ready and the Core Book being ready to distribute.
We will also be releasing the final 1.2 Salvage Union Core Book Digital Edition within the next month to coincide with fulfilment of the project. This will be identical to the print edition with all of the edits we have made to the text thanks to your amazing community feedback and our own internal edits. This will also include bookmarks, and additional printer friendly reference sheets and character sheets.
Adventure Module Fulfilment
We Were Here First! and False Flag
You should now all have received Digital Editions of False Flag and We Were Here First! if you backed or pre-ordered them via Kickstarter or BackerKit. If you haven't received your copy please get in touch with us at [email protected] to resolve this for you.
We're currently working on our final edits based on our internal and community feedback which we really appreciate. We should have these out to print by next month assuming no unforeseen delays.
Thankyou for all your feedback on We Were Here First! and False Flag so far. If you have any more thoughts or feedback please use the forms below, there's still some time to catch any potential issues before print.
We now pushing ahead on the final layout of Rainmaker to get it ready for print, we expect to have the Digital Edition finished in September and will be sending the final version to print with all of the other Adventure Modules. As with the previous Modules there will be a small window of editing to get your feedback before it goes to print.

Magpie STL
The Magpie STL is nearly ready for distribution to all Kickstarter backers only. We're taking some time to do a test print of it in our studio to make sure the tolerances of the parts are good. We'll also get a Magpie Miniature out of it which we're looking forward to having on our desks! You can view a sample video and an images below:
The Dice and Salvage Union Patches are all ready and with us for distribution. The poster is also ready to print alongside the Adventure Modules and will all be distributed together. You should have also received the Digital Soundtrack of Salvage Union if you backed the project on Kickstarter. If you haven't please get in touch, otherwise we hope you're enjoying the tunes!
BackerKit Order and Address changes
The majority of you have filled in your BackerKit surveys, though not everyone has. This is your last chance to do so if you haven't to secure your copy on release so please do so. Orders are currently locked, but if you want to make any final changes to your orders let us know by contacting [email protected] and we can adjust them. This will be the final window to do so. When we have confirmed receipt of the Salvage Union Core Book we'll be updating to lock addresses so now is your last chance to make any address changes as well.
Salvage Union Backer Games
If you supported us at any of the pledge tiers that included a custom game of Salvage Union with you and your group run by the designers, we've already been in touch to arrange that. Please get in touch if you haven't already for more details.
Thanks for reading!
That wraps the update up. Thanks for your support and patience with the project. We feel incredibly close to the finish line now, and can't wait to get the books in your hands! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.
False Flag Adventure Module has landed!
about 1 month ago
– Wed, Aug 23, 2023 at 06:41:52 AM
Hello Salvagers,
We're delighted to be sending you all today the Salvage Union Adventure False Flag! You should now have received the PDF via BackerKit if you are a Kickstarter backer or pre-ordered the Adventure Module via BackerKit.
False Flag has been created by Aled Lawlor and Panayiotis Lines of Leyline Press, with art by Peter Lee (@fullmechajacket) and Mykell Pledger(@mykellpledger). It's the first adventure module that we've worked on entirely in house and we're incredibly proud of it.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts, feedback and play reports of the adventure.
If you have any direct feedback please let us know via this feedback form so we can catch any errors before it goes to print.
Alternatively join the Salvage Union Discord here and let us know your feedback within the #false-editing-feedback channel.
Here's some more details about the Adventure!
False Flag Synopsis
False Flag Cover
An inky black void sweeps across frozen lands, consuming everything in its path like a relentless tidal wave of nothingness. This phenomenon is known as the Vornaya Event, an anomaly that heralds the emergence of the Meld—an intelligent, otherworldly, nanite, hive entity.
Meld Nanites possess both danger and tremendous value. They serve as a conduit to unlock new realms of research, boasting the ability to mend and even reshape themselves into any conceivable form of technology.
Amidst the chaos, a Cold War ignites between DronTek and the Stefanus Corporation, each vying fiercely for control over the bountiful resource of Meld Nanites. The hardworking populace of Vornaya finds themselves ensnared in the crossfire, reduced to mere pawns in this escalating power struggle.
As seasoned Salvagers, you navigate a region immersed in the midst of this intense battle for supremacy—an environment ripe for an array of unsavoury tasks. However, as the smoke clears and the dust settles, will you still recognize the reflection staring back at you in the mirror?
FALSE FLAG IS AN ADVENTURE MODULE FOR SALVAGE UNION, A POST-APOCALYPTIC, MECH TABLETOP ROLEPLAYING GAME. THIS MODULE CONTAINS A PLETHORA OF CONTENT, INCLUDING:
An intricate Salvage Union adventure spanning 5 regions, detailing the Northern Wastes and Frozen Gulf, developed to run for 10-15 immersive gaming sessions and designed with multiple potential endings.
An expansive sandbox environment, with dozens of jobs on offer, populated by three deeply detailed factions and numerous mercenary groups, all contending for supremacy.
A cast of unique characters for players to interact with, all with their own goals and motivations.
Rules for crafting Nanite-Tech and piloting Nanite-Mechs.
6 new Mech Chassis, including Nanite-Chassis.
Fresh Systems, Modules, and Pilot Equipment—among them the new Nanite-Tech
False Flag Spreads
Vornaya
Meld Chassis
Ice Caves
Vornaya Council
Ostfjord
Kelpie
Salvage Union Project Progress
We'll be doing a full update at the end of the month as usual with the rest of the progress on the project, we're really happy to have reached this milestone as the project grows ever closer to being fully fulfilled. For now we hope you enjoy reading through False Flag.
