I agree with Mathieu. I would certainly market this towards Malifaux players. They require a 3x3 board for their games. A hard plastic sewer set would be right up their alley, and something that most would want.

What size are the tiles? 6x6?

Mashing the exault button really hard now.

If it comes with a book of sure-fire excuses to give to Mrs. Kyoto I'm definitely in.

But I will need the book of excuses.

Looks interesting enough to consider using for Malifaux, but that realyl depends on price for a total 3X3 set up and how well it scales. With their normal buildings I always held back being unsure about the scale. It is a bit on the expenive side to just risk it.

Hi to all.
I answer a bit at all.

about the size of a section of the dungeons:
floor 100 x 100 x 10 mm on the one hand stone, the other channel of the sewer.
the floor is divided into 8 squares from 25x25mm.
the walls are 100 x 56 x 20 mm.



price: we are currently doing to make estimates ... so soon we will know the price to the public.
but the price will be definitely the line, if not lower than the other productions of hard plastic.

currently our buildings are products in resin ... then definitely much more expensive of the new project in hard plastic.

I do not know the rules of the game Malifaux, but I appreciate the miniatures and the dark atmosphere.
which among other, our project effectively recreates as gloomy atmosphere.

regards. Lorenzo

In other words, 4"x4" squares with a 1" grid. The walls are about 3/4" thick and about 2 1/4" tall. So minus the thickness of the walls you have 2.5" give or take given that the walls are less thick near the archways.

But given that the tiles have a 1" grid, you can see how big everything is by looking at the grid.

And those dimensions make it very much on the edge of usable for malifaux with 30mm bases and single tiles. Meaning that one has to skip the sewer tile in single tile corridors if you still want to be able to place models ont he sidewalks. With less walls in bewteen it should be quite ok though. Might also be a bit on the low side height wise with regards to some models but that isn't that much of a problem imo.

Guess it'll depen on what type of tiles will be available to make lay outs with for me then.

We know the costs for this already?

What are they?

These look great. I am interested.

On the KS, will you be bundling these with items from the previous KS? And will those be offered in plastic?

I love your stuff, but it is currently cost-prohibitive at the quantity I need. A typical board needs a few small buildings, a large building, and a few odd-end or two (partial buildings, ruins, etc.). Usually all of that is around a $100 with competitors.

As they said, they're going to publish the costs when the KS comes out.

for the cost: price: we are currently doing to make estimates ... so soon we will know the price to the public.

for playability:











playability in the simple section of the dungeon with both walls. the channel of the sewer is too wide around 25mm - 1 ".
then playable for almost the totality of games on the market. and "adaptable" for the remaining.
the flexibility of our product then allows you to create anything you want and adapt to any type of game you play.











about Manorhouse Workshop buildings :
at the moment we are planning what's underground.
but nothing prevents us if we see that the KS is evolving very positively, to include buildings in resin or even better in hard plastic.
I am sure that we succeed to produce even the buildings in hard plastic . what do you think?



thanks for all your comments.

I was questioning someone else who mentioned that they're 'too expensive' - but it looks like he edited that out of his post.

But then it looks like Sheck2 is saying similar things.

So, what are people basing this on, if the KS hasn't launched yet?!?

those who speak of high prices, is speaking of the items of my catalogue.
Up to now I have always produced my items in resin . much more expensive and heavier than the plastic.
The KS will start in the spring.

Lorenzo

If it goes to plastic, then the price ought to come down after a successful KS, right?

I'll be honest, Italy's postal service scares me a bit. I have heard too many horror stories, so if there is distribution from *almost anywhere else*, then I'll feel safer.

Same here!

But I think the bigger problems where packages going in to Italy vs. packages leaving Italy?

surely the price will be very convenient for those who will participate in the KS, plus many rewards.
after KS, the prices will certainly interesting
for shipments as I wrote. you will have several places. America, Australia and Europe. probably our Items, will never see Italy...

however, I break a lance also for Italian shipments :
I am finishing shipments of the my first Indiegogo.
on over a hundred expeditions in much of the world. everything went well.

Lorenzo

I once ordered from Italy... The shipper had proof they'd mailed my item, it wasn't a pricy item so I didn't make a fuss... It showed up 6 months late. I considered myself lucky as I know how things tend to go for people.

These look very cool. I hope this works out.

thanks for your hope.

lately the Italian postal service have improved a lot.
in Europe in 3 working days you have delivery.
in America about 5.
with tracking code of the package.

the discourse of shipments will be solved for sure with shipments made directly from 3 continents mentioned before.

Lorenzo

Anyway, I didn't want this thread to devolve into you having to apologize for the italian postal service.

Huzzah on your Indiegogo campaign. Once your KS start, though, make sure you update the first post so the link is easy to find, you'll at the very least get my eyes.

If this is priced right i will be in.

I like the buildings.

I'm sure I have seen this system before

However, it looks good - I love the ability to stack (even if it could make playability difficult). The main things to me would be price per area covered, and variation in design of panels, floors and panel holding arches.

no problem Mathieu. the Italians are the first ones to criticize the italian couriers...

@SilverMK2. are sure you have already seen a similar job? I not currently know of any other similar systems to mine. both as design solutions, as dynamic walls or as the the mounting system of the sections.
if you know one similar product to our, I'd like to know. also because are more than eight months that I present my project on many international forums.

as already written, the price will be uppermost in our thoughts, as the design of the walls always captivating and modular. and dinamic walls with more variants.

thanks to all for your comments and feed back.

Not the one I remember - this one is for sci fi. However I can remember a fantasy one very similar to yours (it may have been a link to a post you made on another forum?).

I don't see how these join together, can you show us that closer. Right now it just looks like the walls stick into the floor, but there is no connection between floor pieces, which would mean a good table bump would send an earthquake through the dungeon. Especially bad if your buildings are sitting on top of it.

This stuff is absolutely amazing.

I want this stuff right now, I need that subway tunnel ( Tube) for the Pulp city stuffs.

I wish you well, I'd really like to get some of this stuff now, is any of it available anywhere?

Looks like those slots have a piece that goes into it to join the floor pieces like Dwarven Forge stuff.

can be seen in the image (for be seen only now. after will be produced in black or brown) of the blocks in teflon white in the upper part of the walls. these blocks block walls between them.
the same is true for the union of the floors.





In addition, as can be seen the tower is selfsupporting. the individual walls fit between them.



of course, make more complex the dungeon, you have more chance to "move" the whole.
but, this applies to all systems...


@SilverMK2. sorry but, the system Escenorama seems more similar to the system of Spartan Games in their KS. that my.

I do not think Manorhouse's current products are too expensive. They are extremely high quality and functionality. They are awesome. Their cost / price is appropriate for that level.

What I am saying is...that price point makes it hard or even prohibitive for me to buy what I need to make a table. I am hoping Manorhouse can find a way to lower that price point without compromising their amazing quality and functionality.

thank you for what you write about our products and their quality.
of course, lower the price, should not affect the quality.
will be only the material used to lower the price.
the hard plastic will lower the price, not quality.

Lorenzo

In our project we have spoken of the crypts.
here are the first prototypes of mummies ...
we took a cue from a famous crypt existing in Italy: "The Chapel of the Capuchin Fathers" of Palermo, to create our frightening crypts.



Alessio Cisbani has sculpted some mummies multi-pose for us.
are still to be finished.











you imagine entire crypts full of mummies hanging inside of niches... terrifying!

Lorenzo

Holy crap! This is certainly the best looking hard plastic terrain I've ever seen. Mantic and Spartan are probably green with envy right now. But it all depends on the price!
