I haven't seen this posted anywhere here ye

Battle Systems is opening up their kickstarter for die cut, cardstock ship interior terrain this Friday, Nov 1st.
The product looks amazing, and should be a great alternative for people that like this kind of thing.

http://battlesystemstws.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/launch-day-is-friday-1st-november/

I'll be looking it over and trying to come up with an extra kidney if it looks like it's going to be a good kickstarter.


UPDATE: Kickstarter link http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1621774283/battle-systemstm-sci-fi-modular-terrain

I'm lazy and have limited time, so you'll have to look for stretch goals and such. The website isn't that hard to navigate :p
OK OK ... some stuff:


Also:






Unlocked at 67,000 $


Unlocked at 72,000 $


Unlocked at 80,000 $:

Yes, very interesting.
I'll be waiting for what appears to be another year or so for my Bug Hunt Corridors, so this may have to work in the mean time.

All depends on price and fulfillment projections.

Battle Systems makes some other print from PDF terrain that looks gorgeous. I'm hoping they can get this off the ground with minimal fuss and a good price point.

This has been teased a few times right? The product, not the Kickstarter specifically.

Very bad timing for any other KS for me, and it's a little grim and gritty for how I envision my Infinity games, but I'll be bidding off the bat to see where it goes.

Damn, missed the EBs.

This is a bloody great wargames table for £64, and I'm not normally one for cardstock:



25mm square, and 24x24 squares on that board = 80cm or almost dead-on 3 foot.

So, you're looking at a pretty much perfect Infinity board with this. Low priced, the right size, no need to paint it, crammed with cover.

Hmm... 75mm converts pretty well to 3" for the purposes of deadzone, too.

The Stronghold is a great set up and that picture is before any stretch goals get added. I have several games this will come in handy for and just in time for AVP too (OK this doesn't ship until next May but still).

The £64 price is for the EBs. Normal Stronghold is £70 plus £8 shipping UK or £16 RoW - the card stock is heavy and apparently US shipping should have been £35 but they they've eaten some of the cost and found a cheaper shipping option. Still a great price (I think anyway )

Looks pretty nice for Zone Mortalis, though I think the square are a bit small? Hm.

8000 points of XI Legion the Space Vagabonds, they can adapt their tactics to represent any and every Legion and Chapter as needed because they were created by the Emperor to be the ultimate tactical power. They have faked their disappearance in order to infiltrate every part of the conflicts in the galaxy.

8000 points of Tau/Craftworld Eldar/Necron because the Space Vagabonds can also emulate their wargear and tactics.

Victories: ALL
Losses: NONE (My armies have the psychic ability to conjure a cataclysmic storm whenever they are about to lose. This allows the Space Vagabonds to teleport away while releasing power waves that destroys the battlefield and so every battle is a victory)

1 inch is 25.4mm. So 24 squares is a little under 2 feet.

While I'm not entirely interested in sci-fi corridors at this time, this looks to be an excellent start to their Kickstarter, and I hope they can expand and maybe do some modern stuff for Zombie-apoc, post-apoc, or near-future gaming in the future.

Will definitely keep an eye on this.

Wow, looks great! I don't have any games I'd use it with, and I'd still like some.

It's got all the advantages of mdf - cheap, flat, modular, but with one huge extra benefit - the printing.

Sure, it's even weaker, but I could see it lasting quite a while with a little care.

Next Strech goal at £44,000 - 1 Command Screen and 2 V-Consoles add to Stronghold





Update #3

Errr, another goal. Plus suggestions and Postage


Hi all,

Well we having some technical difficulties, but nothing we can't handle. Getting the stretch goals up soon.

Suggestions

Lots more suggestions, again.

Floor tiles as add ons are coming. We are thinking of an extension pack of 3 tiles for those that want to just extend a bit and a full pack of nine ties for those that want to double up the floor space. How does that sound?

People want supports for the Bridges. We found they are strong with metal minis and weights we put on. However we can work something for double long bridges. Below is a pic with a couple of bridges. We used a tower we built using the addition ramps included to support the longer gantry. Lots off stuff left over from the stronghold pledge in the back.



Tower in the middle with two gantries

Ramps

Ramps are all about making corner, connection doors up close to walls (i'll explain that in a video soon) and making towers. Below is a couple of tower pics, that show this. The one with the Gantries has our old style railing on, so ignore them, these will be the new ones.



Simple tower




More complex tower, (this has window wall that's not here yet, and the old style railings, but you get the idea)More complex tower, (this has window wall that's not here yet, and the old style railings, but you get the idea)

Postage

Please take a look at your pledges. A few of you good folks have not included their postage for either the UK or the rest of the world. These sets are supper heavy compact card. It's like shipping books. If you see you have missed it, just go to manage my pledge and increase it by the relevant amount. i.e. put a new total in there that includes the pledge price and the postage. It's listed in the pledge reward amounts on the right of the main page in the green boxes.

Thanks by the way. lol We have hit our second Stretch. So you get

x1 additional clone chamber and x5 cargo crates.

Should have the next one up by the time i post this, but Our very own Wayne has Food poisoning (talk about bad timing. lol) His ok, but has been driving the porcelain bus for the last 6 hours. Wish him well. In the mean time you have me. Sorry ;o)

Here is a pick of the reversal aspect of the clone chamber. Cheers all

£44,000 stretch is in 1 extra Command console and 2 extra V consoles added to Stronghold.

next goal at £54,000



Extra tiles as add ons are coming up.



Update #4

Nov 2, 2013
The mile stone, our goal - Floor tiles - Console alternate screens
1 comment
4 likes

Before we hit our 3rd Stretch wanted to give you some insite into our plans for whats coming.

The mile stone

We have our costings worked out on a price per sheet. In the Stronghold set you will get 33 sheets of terrain (not including stretch goals) A4 size. This is double anything that has come in similar terrain products. Plus any clips that are needed. Currently we are working on our funded goal order size. However at a funding of £70 we have an order pre-set up that is 4 times the number of sets. This brings the cost per sheet down by about 30%. What does this mean...

It means that we can use the saving to create new tools. These can then be put on as add ons for purchase. The first two tools we have planned are... (subject to change)

Tool 1 = Window wall + Wall console + Elevator. (yes we are going to try and give you all three as one add on)

Tool 2 = Medi centre - x3 medibeds,+ x2ish wall displays + x1 medidroid/unit.

We are going to promote like there is no tomorrow, but it will be down to your good selves to help spread the word. We hit our goal super early and I can say this is entirely down to the support that you guys gave with postings on forums, bloggs, etc. If we can keep the momentum going and chip away, there is no reason why we can't get these tools opened up soon. It's the call to arms... err.. again... )

Floor tiles

We are preparing the floor tiles for as the next add on. Who's up for them?

Add on - x3 standard tiles. Comes with 6 Struts, 3 Buttresses and 3 chairs.

Add on - x9 standard tiles. Comes with 18 Struts, 9 Buttresses and 9 chairs.

Standard tiles means. 8 sq x 8 sq. 20cm x 20cm Approximately 8 inch x 8 inch. Basically extra tiles from the set.

V-Console

In the comments section we had a little wager. I promised that I would do some alternate display screen images on the V-Console if we hit £42K before our first 24 hours was up. It was touch and go, but we did it with about 3 minutes to go. So in the Stronghold set there are 6 V-Console. There will now be 3 different screen display designs. So 2 pairs of each. )

While writing this Wayne has informed me by text (yes my phone is back up and running after the KS emails crashed it due to volume) that we hit the next stretch goal. Thanks all, this is getting good for additional content.

thought that stuff was painted, and then they said pre-colored. I gotta go that route right now as I can't stand for anymore projects. Absolutely excited for this now.
