The Ultimate Wargaming Terrain

10/10/11

Thought I’d better explain costs as I know how hard it can be buying on-line when you cannot see something in the flesh which is always a risk.

The boards are expensive, BUT they are almost bullet proof! You can actually stand on these and not damage them because they are not made from polystyrene so the quality would be almost impossible to replicate. They are still made of a foam however so have a soft enough surface not to damage your paint work and you can also screw in trees and unscrew them should you want to remove them.

We decided to go for a high end product that would really last so the manufacture costs are very high and was a risk we decided to take. We were originally making them from polystyrene but they would get damaged and we wanted to make something that was durable and that you could not make at home so this was the end result.

Each board is hand finished and made from dense polyurethane foam which due to the size is a lot of foam. Usually Pu foam accessories from around 200mm square would retail for £20-30 and the boards are approx 6 x the amount of foam so the costs are high to manufacture.

Each set of boards comes with a sturdy box with carrying handle so you can transport them easily and a bag of matching flock. I appreciate the fact that these are expensive but when you see them in the flesh you’ll see why. It’s difficult to explain without you seeing them and we will always take them back if you are not happy at all.

So all in all we know being costly is not going to work for everyone but we were tired of playing on cheap plastic, cardboard and felt and wanted something that had a bit of a wow factor. After all why spend hundreds of pounds on figures and hours of painting to make them look stunning and not have an equally stunning terrain to put them on?
