Subject: 3D Bases - Modular Terrain: by MHW - Update #26 – The first copies of the ruined abbey.
Update #27 – Important news for the “3D Bases” Kickstarter, and 2 more “3D Bases” unveiled!
Hi everyone,
A lot of you are asking us more details on the number and type of the 3D Bases yet not shown.
In the beginning, we had planned to keep “secret” half of our bases, to be unveiled progressively during the Kickstarter.
But it became clear to us that it would create some problems and issues for all of you. It would also create more work for us, to update and add every time a new base was revealed some more add-on packages, which could make obsolete the previous ones, forcing you to new choices every few days.
So we made a complete policy change: instead of revealing little by little the missing 3D Bases, we will unveil all of them now, during the next few days.
Only the Stretch Goals will be kept hidden.
Let’s start with 2 of those new bases: one is the Curved River, and the other is T-intersection Bocage. This last one has many uses and synergies, some to be revealed later on, but can be used as of now to change direction depending on how it’s positioned.
Hi everyone!
Today we are unveiling 3 new “3D Bases”!
We’re positive you’ll find them very useful for creating various battlegrounds.
First of all, the 2 Bases related to Roads. We wanted them to be useful in multiple historical settings so the roads are made of stone. You’ll see 2 bases, one representing a straight road, and another a curving road.
The third base we are unveiling is a transition base, to be used to connect smoothly the Cobblestone base to the Rough Terrain base. It’s also perfect to represent the boundaries of a village or a city.
@Lorenzo, I do not know if this has been asked and if it has, I am sorry. Is there a way to make the pieces double sided? With Bloodbowl being re released I can see tis being used for a Pitch to play on. if it is double sided...

The tiles are 3D. Double sided wont work.

exactly Bossk_Hogg. They are three-dimensional basis. thus they can not be double side.
New update:
With this article we’re presenting the last 3 Bases which complete the 3D Bases project.
The first 2 allow you to recreate an urban scenery.
The third is a base that was requested strongly by all of you.
The modularity of the 2 urban bases will allow for infinite combinations. You can create roads, crossroads and neighbourhouds very easily and quickly.
As for the last base, the Stone Slabs base, it will allow you to increase the playing area of the Abbey … but it can be used in a great other number of ways too.
Also, the dimensions of every single stone slab is 25x25mm, so the potential of this base, for gaming purpose, rises even more...
WOW !! I've expended a few too many brain cells trying to come up with just the right road system for my needs. It looks like you've nailed it PERFECTLY for me !! I'm in !!!!
How soon before you go live ?

HI @Ernster, It is perhaps the third or fourth announcement that they do about the M.U.P....
We have still a written contract with Maki Games!
We will see what Maki Games will announce, and any answer or comment from our part will be done after it on our blog, which is the best place for MHW’s announcements.
please, let’s keep this topic on 3D Bases only for the 3D Bases.
regards. Lorenzo

Hi everyone
A lot of persons asked us if it were possible to see pictures of multiple 3d Bases “Broken Column” together, to see the ring-shape that could be created with them.
In the first 2 pictures you can see how our base can be added to the Abbey to make a beautiful 3×3 gaming terrain.
The last 2 pictures show you how 2 Broken Column bases look together. The result is a half-circle fortification which can be added to a plethora of other gaming terrain 3D Bases compositions.
Of course, like all our bases, how to used the 3D Bases is limited only by your imagination, so let your mind wander about all the combinations to achieve your desired result!
Hi everyone!
The last months showed quite some evolution! We went from showing how the 3D Bases Masters of the Abbey look like, to now a fully ready and casted Abbey, and finished with grass and miniatures!
You can admire the result in the following images, where quite some Reaper Miniatures (used for D&D) are fighting on our Abbey, and also some miniatures from Games Workshop.
It is, for me, a dream come true. Having such a base, with this incredible material, fully painted and ready, is the result of years of work and projects.
The base reproduces perfectly every detail that I sculpted. The painting gives life to the whole base, everything comes to life!
Painting and modifications are very easy to make and to correct : the 3D Base material is kept perfect and unscathed at every touch...
Quick question, so a pledge lvl is just a base amount of money to spend on purchasing add-ons from what I expect is the pledge manager at the end? if a pledge for 36 euro and want to just buy Price Range A items, how does that work?

Hi everyone!
We did in the past a lot of pictures of our 3D Bases with fantasy miniatures, but what about some other historical period, like World War II ?
A lot of you asked us about it, so, with the help of our dear friend Massimo Torriani – expert of WWII and gaming rules creation (“Operation World War Two” – “Operation Squad” and “Assault Platoon”) we did just that, and prepared some pictures of our Abbey with some very peculiar war action...
Check out my gallery here Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

Subject: 3D Bases - Modular Terrain: by MHW -Update #34 - How to create a small wall using a 3D Base
Say, have you thought of making texture sheets that can be used as base stamps? The 3D terrain is out of my budget, but I'm thinking you can make some sheets I can use with greenstuff to make bases for my miniatures!
These look fantastic. I'm sorry to see that shipping costs to the US will make participating too expensive, but am excited to follow the KS regardless (and will hopefully see these available relatively affordably in the US at some point, too!).

Yeah, I just noted the shipping. These are squishy and lightweight so packing shouldnt be that much of a concern , not sure why it costs almost $60 to ship to the US! Maybe some of us can go in together on a bigger order.

Monday finally, we will announce the launch date of the 3D Bases Kickstarter.
Ah good, looking forward to that! I think by far the best application of your product is the 3D bases... the flat ones I am not sure about, but these walls are great
