Carnacki the Ghost Finder Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I have a bunch of this stuff. It's great but it was expensive ... I might be able to stay out of this unless they do ruins. Oh crud, I think I see a ruin in the background .... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuranshadow Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 The price is much cheaper than Dwarven Forge or other 3d terrain, and the quality control and overall quality has gone up with each Kickstarter. Naturally it's pricier than self printed cardstock, but it's much easier to get ready for use, and very compact to store the walls. For newcomers, be aware the edges come gray by default. They have use pens by hand to add that extra detailing, which looks even better...but is time consuming. I've had only good experiences with their terrain kickstarters, and backed each one since the fantasy one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean to make it match the sides? I've used black pens on the white edges of cardstock before (which works pretty well), but I haven't used other colors.

I've used black pens on the white edges of cardstock before (which works pretty well), but I haven't used other colors. The card edges are grey. They use coloured pens, felt pens to colour the edges. I've moved to painting the edges to get a better colour match. On the prototype models the edges are white, so need to be mindful that when penning the colours are dimmed on the final product due to the grey.......hence why I paint them.

Asuranshadow Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Yeah, as Talion said. Even with an imperfect color match, though, the penning of the edges can look much better for more colorful pieces. The gray does look fine on its own, just not quite as fancy as the promo pictures. For the bulk of past sets, the walls were neutral enough that the gray doesnt seem out of place.

Disciple of Sakura Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I'm not familiar with Battlesystems products. They're cardboard buildings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Dinner Table Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Cardboard, yes. But quite sturdy and you can assemble them - like you get a large number of (different) walls, floors etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ced1106 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Youtube has unboxings and reviews. I also found this written one. : https://tabletopterror.blogspot.com/2016/08/battle-systems-terrain-review.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ced1106 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) From their blog, they have a Village set, and a Battlefield set: https://battlesystemstws.wordpress.com/2019/06/19/fantasy-terrain-kickstarter-launching-27th-june/?fbclid=IwAR2fNazKoWnkNnNONYT3pr7x_wVA0EJ8L6ct2OhA6KCgJyp25XIfTW_dT5A If the pledges are $100 plus shipping each, that's $20 for a building. Much less than resin, less painting than MDF and 3D printing, but still more expensive than papercraft and 3D printing.

Knight of the Dinner Table Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 THAT VILLAGE ... I'M in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breegull Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It all looks soooo good!! It also looks like it'll integrate well with Umbum/Clever Paper buildings. I'm probably in for at least 1 of everything they produce in this KS. (They say they're keeping it simple but I assume they'll still have stretch goals and add-ons?)
