This stuff is dangerous. I know it'll never be enough until I build a full hive city and devote a bedroom to it Ngl the fountain goes weirdly well with scifi industrial terrain for a 40k look. Is that terrain crate?
I'd use mine... if I knew where I left it! If these sets get in regular distribution as well, with the usual retailer discounts, then I think it really is a good deal! The rooms themselves are at almost impulse purchase prices.
Yeah, thick... my fave is the battlesystems stuff. I use it for space stations and bases... ships I use tiles like star saga or printed maps of ship layouts... makes it easier to move minis without walls
I am TERRIBLE at building Battlesystems stuff. It should be more intuitive for me but I end up just completely lost with it. I've been trying to finish a video on it for close to a year and finally gave up and dumped it on Sparkletrout, who promptly figured it out in a few minutes. UGH.
According to their site they started selling July 29th, so should be in the distribution net by now. Now if my FLGS will just show some common sense and stock the damn things. Certainly seem to be more sensibly designed than the similar Mantic terrain, albeit not quite as fluid about using walls for floors and vice versa.
The thing I get curious about with a set like this: would you paint all the individual pieces and then be able to fully customize your scifi dungeon (and spend a while assembling it before play), or would you construct and paint some rooms (like a med-lab, or barracks, or something) and some corridors to fit together later, to cut down on assembly time?
I'll probably do like I've done with my deadzone terrain (which still needs paint naturally). Have it somewhat prebuilt into specific configurations I know I'll probably use. Probably two or three half rooms, paint those, possibly glue them, and seal it all so it's somewhat ready to just drop on the table and play.
This is the first that i have heard of the retail version being different than what was offered in the ks version. Im impatiently awaiting my own parcel from Archon, being delayed and lost by good ol fedex, so ive been stalking dungeons and lasers content pretty obsessively. Ill have to look specifically on this new starter. Thanks for the heads up on this development.
Yeah, the retail versions will be a bit different but also the price reflects that a bit from what I've seen trickling out. A good chunk of the dragon kits have also been released alongside the scifi rooms. Not that I've started painting mine yet...
The newer sets are designed for just that, particularly the Woodhaven series of scenery. Of which I have a good chunk... and haven't gotten around to even playing with it yet!
i made a tutorial for painting the sci fy core set un paint a full set and the three room very fast it is sturdy stuff my 4 years old son play with it and he break on of the stuff bu falling on it accidentaly
Space Hulk too. And IIRC there was supposed to be a new edition of the old 90s Legions of Steel game soon-ish, which was Space Hulk's closest competition back in the day.
Legions of Steel were going to be releasing their skirmish rules soon. I believe I saw a revision of them the other day. Another good use for these tiles!

Im impressed so a definate purchase for me
I like them. I may have to add those to the list.
I think a decent hobby saw would leave less to clean on those long straight pieces.

Terrain nice.
Reminds me of something from the Alien movies.

Just wondering if you could turn the layout upside down to make modular buildings? Do they look okay?

Screams Cyberpunk Dungeon Crawler to me.

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature Glad to hear it. Haven't seen them posting over on my usual forum haunts lately.
