Custom Built Boards

From small skirmish boards to large historical battlefields

We can custom make any terrain you would like, using our unique polyurethane Battleboards.

Hills, rivers, trenches,or roads.

From sci-fi to replica ordinance maps just get in contact and we can discuss how you would like your boards to look.

Either give us an idea of what you would like or we can work from a rough sketch – we will give you 3D designs prior to undertaking any work, so you can make adjustments at no extra cost, as we are happy to provide this service free. This helps us make sure we get it right.

What will my custom Battleboards cost?

Typically our custom terrain cost breaks down as follows. All boards are custom made to your own specific requirements so we can make just what you want. Battleboards prices vary depending on how much detail is required for each board, the cost approximately works out like this:

Each Battleboards is 2ft x 2ft and 43mm in hight – hills and cliffs are added onto this base board to get the desired effect.

£100 - simple construction -  fully painted & flock, roads and tracks

£130 – medium construction -  fully painted & flock, roads and tracks, rocky out crops and small rivers and hills 10mm or 20mm hight (suitable for 6mm to 28mm)

£150 – complex  construction -  complete custom made larger features – cliff faces, lakes & large rivers, urban with partial building structures etc. although this depends a lot on design.

Remember that you also get 10% discount on x8 boards or more :)

Low Cost Design Service

We will help design your Battleboards, and through the use of the latest 3D software, you can view and make alterations to your boards before completion. We feel this is a fantastic way for you to see your boards prior to them being made, giving you the opportunity to get exactly the terrain you are after. We can show figures and some accessories on the designs too, you can see and plan your perfect layout without committing to their construction until you are completely satisfied we have covered all the aspects you need for your gaming.

We charge a starting fee for this service of £30 and will discuss with you if you have indeed have come up with a epic scale idea or deign, which may require further design.

Many players enjoy this process as it allows you to explore different possibilities like different colours finishes, sizes of hills and rock formations, even add a couple of extra boards to see what an increase in boards would look like. We give you complete flexibility as you creation takes shape.

Great how do I start?

That’s easy, just send us an email and contact us, let us know what you are thinking of and we will help to do the rest. If you can email us an image or a terrain layout idea, scale of figures you use and how much room you have to play, that would be a fantastic start.

    Thanks for the comment, I have emailed a long reply with details and cost, but for those others reading the post this may help

    We can make any type of terrain the cost varies depending on level of detail for each boards & whether there are any special requirements.

    Prices start from £80+vat (if in UK) and work up to £110 +vat for more complex designs. The best thing to do is get in contact with us and discuss your ideas. We will be happy to give a quote and work on a design with you.

    Hi, I am looking to get a tables worth of terrain built for 40k. I have constructed my own grass based table that I’m very happy with but don’t have the time to construct all the terrain. I’m looking for tree’s, hills, crators and some 40k buildings. I am also interested in potentially getting a major building built, something that would take up 1 full tile of the standard warhammer board, I’d like this to be a bit of a show piece. Would love to get some thoughts on my options and a quote. Thanks

    Hi Patrick, Thanks for the comment and for considering us to make up the terrain pieces you are missing. We would be delighted to make up the terrain bits that you are looking for. I will email you with some ideas and if you could take a picture of what you already have and send it to us, then that would be great. We can then get a better idea of what to make for you. Trees have always been the bane of our lives, and I have had trouble finding something that we feel would work as well as the terrain we make. We have searched the entire globe looking for a suitable manufacture to no avail, until recently :) We have now found someone who make awesome trees and the bazaar thing is they only live 20 miles from us… go figure.. soon to be available from our shop.

    Hi Tobias, it really all depends on what you are after and how much details and accessories you require like buildings, also a lot depends on scale as you sort of get more terrain the smaller the scale. Not that that effects the cost much just how much you can get on each board. Best thing to do is come up with a rough sketch or reference images and email them to us at rich@battleboards.co.uk and we can have a look & sort something out :)

  • Mark Watson says:

    This is going to be a bit hard to describe since I cannot for the life of me find an image for it on Google. In the 10th Anniversary of No Quarter Magazine they show off a how to make section about a board. I would really like to own that board.
    Now I don’t know much about your company or if that type of terrain is what you make, but I have the issue (I guess that’s a bit obvious) so I could always get scanned images of it.
    Now I don’t know if I can actually go ahead with this, really depends on cost and if you can even do it, if not I will have to come back later and ask again but if I know you can make it I will definitely have to return.

  • Battleboards says:

    Hi Mark,

    Don’t worry you’ve come to the right place :) We can pretty much make anything and we will always try and find the best solution for you. First off we would love to see what you have in mind or what you have found, so if you can scan it and send it over to us we will to the rest. You can email it direct to me at rich@battleboards.co.uk if you like. After which I will talk to you direct via email as its a lot easier for me to send you sample images for us to talk over.

    I’m intrigued now, so look forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve.

    Hi! As a warhammer 40.000 player, I would like to know, what a standard 4 x 6 table is gonna cost me, if I purchase it at this (great!) site.

    Best regards,
    Marc

    Hi Marc,

    Thanks for the comment, you are indeed in the right place. Unfortunately there is not an easy answer, as it all depends one what type of boards you are looking for and how detailed it needs to be. We decided not to roll out standard board designs, like most other companies as we have found that players wanted quite varied designs, So we specialise in providing very unique boards designs, specifically for your gaming needs. Wether you are looking for an chaos planet or apocalyptic setting we can help. You can get an idea on how much each board will cost from the above guide on this page, which gives a brief description on the overall cost. We would prefer you to contact us via email, and give us a bit more of a description, of the type of thing you require, that way we can discuss in more detail about our services.

  • Martin says:

    Hi, I play flames of war and I was viewing your site and I had the idea of recreating the battle of Normandy with entrenched coastal guns cliff faces and a large beach. As well as this trenches for the defenders and a small village inland for an objective with bocage and fields at the back of the board. Is this do-able? In a 6′ by 4′ table setting

  • Battleboards says:

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for making contact.

    Yes, is the short answer, very do-able. We can build the terrain just how you want it, and Flames of War being 15mm you will get a lot of the terrain you need on a 6′ x 4′ table. We can cover a lot of ground so to speak at this scale. The best way forward would be to contact us via email at war@battleboards.co.uk, which I will do shortly. I can start putting a project together for you. We can then exchange reference images and I can send you some examples of layout that would be similar. Although we have not yet been ask to do a Normandy beach landing, but this would be one of my favourite terrain types I would like to make.

    I can also send you lots more information on what we do, and how the boards are constructed.
