04/11/10 - Counter Bases for Warmachine
The range of counter bases has been expanded with two new bases for warmachine/hordes players
40mm 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
50mm 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1


04/11/10 - We're into our third month now! A big thank you again to all of you that have supported us over these last two months.

Postage Rates
Now that we've had two months sales I've reviewed the postage rates. After much javascript coding we now have thirteen rates.

This is to offer discounted shipping for small orders and accessory only orders.

There is also an increase in shipping rate for outside Europe/USA/Canada on larger orders. (sorry guys but the postage is killing me. Just for example - £160 worth of 15mm scenery is approx £30 to the USA but £50 to Australia! I can eat a bit of that on a large order but £30 over cost on the postage is just too much to absorb)

Note that while the shopping cart is smart enough to offer you only the valid options for your country it is not smart enough to select the correct postage option for you - make sure you pick the right one in order to get the discount!

UK
Accessories only with a total less than £30 - £2.50
All other orders - £5.00

Europe (excluding UK)
Accessories only with a total less than £30 - £4.50
Other orders with a total less than £50 - £8.00
Other orders with a total of £50 or greater - £10.00

USA & Canada
Accessories only with a total less than £30 - £6.00
Other orders with a total less than £50 - £14.00
Other orders with a total of £50 or greater - £20.00

Rest of World
Accessories only with a total less than £30 - £6.00
Other orders with a total less than £50 - £15.00
Other orders with a total of £50 to £100 - £20.00
Other orders with a total greater than £100 - £35

25/10/10 - Extra Large Building baseplates
This week's releases is a 2 or 3 part building baseplate to accomodate buildings up to 20x44cm. The plates can also be used singly if your urban area is butted up against a table edge or terrain feature.



We also have a new city pack. It'd make a good starter pack combined with some extra roads or it's a great add-on set, giving you room for a big centerpiece building. You can see on the layout how big the XL plate is compared to the other plates.



14/10/10 - 6mm Modular Ruins Now Available


This set of 18 panels in 5 designs allows you to create ruined buildings in a wide range of sizes. The panels are all intact so that you can have them as ruined or intact as you prefer.


06/10/10 - In response to customer demand two alternate packs of the 5cm road system are now available - one with loads of junctions (especially crossroads) and one with loads of straights (76cm of straights).

05/10/10 - The S6 modular cityblock system comes to FoW, Epic and other small scale games! This week's release is the small scale baseplates to match the 15mm/6mm roads. The baseplates are a set of four (two small, two large) and fit with the roads in exactly the same way as the large scale ones.





30/09/10 - This week's release is an adaptor for the modular road system to allow double width roads and a new starter pack incorporating this.




This also marks the end of S6 Engineering's first month. A big thank you to everyone that's placed orders!

24/09/10 - 15mm / 1:144 Road System is available.


At 5cm wide these roads scale to 18ft / 23 ft at 15mm / 1:144 respectively so they're pretty typical of European road sizes.
Ideal for sci-fi or military roads.

16/09/10 - Lots of new releases today

The big one is the building baseplates which, together with the roads, forms our modular city block system.


Pack1 - £60


Pack2 - £130


We also have a broken road piece.


And the first road piece with extra detailing.


Also, a canal end piece.


16/09/10 - Improved Template Sets are now up.




As well as being available in a range of colours to match your army these have a combined 3" and 5" blast marker, 45 and 90 degree arcs (useful for lots of things) and a 2" ruler so you don't need your tape measure for those crucial short scatters.

The edge lighting on this flourescent acrylic is really dramatic. Those of you who've bought canal sets know what I'm talking about.

09/09/10 - Improved Flying Stands are now available. Magnets included.



08/09/10 - Here's the long-ramp bridge that folks have been asking for.


07/09/10 - Indicator Bases are now on the website
60mm 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
40mm 6-5-4-3-2-1
25mm 4-3-2-1
25mm G-P-K (penal legion)


07/09/10 - The canal system is now available on the website.





Our first product - the modular road system

That looks great, hope I can afford all this stuff you're churning out!

This does look VERY nice - congrats on this one!

Very nice!

It may be too late in the game, but is there any chance that those'll be compatable (in side mainly) with the Tech Canals from Armorcast?

I like how the canal prototype looks, but I'm already invested in a good amount of the Armorcast stuff and I can't see adding new pieces that wouldn't fit in...

Valete,

JohnS

How wide are the armorcast ones? Mine are 10cm wide.

Some pretty great modular possibilities here.

Would the walkways come glued to the green acrylic?

What are the chances of modular walls that you could use to add some depth to the canals?

This is much cooler than your roads. I'd love to see whatever system you have for these.

I kinda liked the roads, but this I love. Makes me wanna do a cityfight board instead of my current badlands.

I liked your roads (although I agree with what some others have said that it would be cool to see storm drains and man holes in some of them) and these are cool too! Very nice concept.

Interesting concept... I'd still end up using water effects on it but the clear insert is a cool idea.

yeah,
Very cool start, I'm very interested in these. Needs more tech and gothics thou looks a little plain right now.

How Much do you estimate the set to cost?

PAnic...

Looks very boring ATM, plan on adding any details?

I'd rather have seperate urban detail packs (which may be beyond the scope of S6's production methods) and relatively cheap, but slightly plain, terrain.

FYI, the insert is translucent acid green.

There's a little more detail on there then shows up in that photo - you'll see it better in the final pics. The sections without bridges have extra detail.

I'm going to be doing a starter pack for £35 - that's two long straights (28cm), two long straights with footbridges, two corners. Enough to cross four feet of board with two crossing points. (no point in having rivers if you don't have ways of getting across)

A detailing pack is on the list of things to do.

Starter pack sounds great, looking forward to seeing the road bridge.

Very interesting, what program are you using for making the pattern? Some people (I.e. Me) might be interested in having some custom terrain made, if it's as simple as entering a 3D design into your machine.

It'd be a 2D design - I can work with pretty much anything vector based.

Scott-S6 wrote:How wide are the armorcast ones? Mine are 10cm wide.

That'll be close. I believe the Armorcast ones are 4" (which is pretty close to 10cm)... If you're not locked into the sizes, you might want to at least consider making them compatible. As soon as I dig up a metric ruler, I'll see about posting the overall width of the canals as well as the width of the two banks and the height of the canal channel and the banks.

All, of course, if you're interested in pursuing that option. But as I said, I have a fair number of the Armorcast ones and if yours are compatible, then I'm definitely interested. If they're not, then I'd probably have to pass...

Just as an FYI, the Armorcast Tech Canals can be seen at:

Just so you can see the competition...

Valete,

JohnS

Looking good! Will there be a wider bridge or will that be a separate set?

I mean this in the best way possible. Your terrain needs to cater to nonGW games.

GW terrain is pretty spot on and good for their games. Not to mention their details are WAY better.

Where I see great room for you is skermish games. You might contact Corvus Belli about doing terrain for Infinity specifically. There is a serious lack of terrain our there for nonGW. Best this looks like it could support would be Necromunda it the bridges were 4x that size.

Modular simple urban terrain that is reconfigureable would do very well.

I know Id like terrain with walls, doors, windows, catwalks, bridges etc. You would make +++$ if you lasered out holes for REmagnets so we dont have to drill them. This way we can glue or magnetize the scenery to use differently over and over again. Basically the opposite of GW's terrain.

Yep, the road bridge will be available later today.

Task and Purpose wrote:Your terrain needs to cater to nonGW games.

I don't see how this terrain caters only to GW games? It's generic enough (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) to be used in just about any modern or Sci-Fi setting.

I don't play infinity (nice minis but I've never met anyone that plays it) but the impression I've got is that it lacks a strong style. Being so generic, pretty much any terrain would be suitable.

I agree. I think your stuff looks great, but instead of targeting 40k you could market it as more generic sci fi or and appeal to a broader range of gamers

This looks pretty cool. Do you have a website with your stuff on?

Yep, there's a big clickable banner underneath every post.

FYI, your website banner isn't visible to me at work, and likely isn't to others as well.

plastictrees wrote:FYI, your website banner isn't visible to me at work, and likely isn't to others as well.

That is the case for me

Wondered why you were not advertising

A text link would show up though

Scott-S6 wrote:Yep, there's a big clickable banner underneath every post.

I have sigs turned off, and I'ma t work so it goes through a proxy anyway.

Ah, that would explain it.
