I was on the BoLS site and they had news of a GW modular game board for $175. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, at GDUK there was a modular board system displayed, it got very positive feedback from everyone who saw it, I think it's in six pieces as the basic kit, though one assumes you can buy more sections and expand it. It's made from very sturdy plastic and requires painting/flocking etc by you. The pieces lock together in any formation so you can have hills round the edge or hills in the middle. It's also designed to be sturdy enough that the six piece board at 6' x 4' could happily overhang the edges of a 5' x 3' table and still be strong and sturdy.

I couldn't say what the US price would be, sorry.

How much does a piece of plywood and some hinges cost?

Alpharius wrote:How much does a piece of plywood and some hinges cost?

Well, for us that would depend on whether your in a hurricane/typhoon region or not. If you add natural talent, and available work tools such as bandsaws, or even jigsaws, sandpaper, varnish, etc, etc, if could vary.

Sometimes the market product is just easier to get. Now, if the price would drop from $175 US, I might be interested, and if I knew would type of future support (read: additional add-on's) I might be kinda keen on this.

Of course, I still have to learn how to add flock first.......considering my recent attempt to add sand to the bases of figures sucked.

I was slightly excited by this. I actually preordered one without seeing it.

Now that I have seen it. Very underwhelming. Hard to validate $175 for it.

Have to admit, I'll pay someone to change the oil in my car before I buy this thing... (I'm a mechanic)

Seriously, if you're creative/practical enough to build/convert/paint minis, knocking up a decent standard terrain board shouldn't be that hard.

Nah. Storing four 2x2 pieces of terrain will be much easier this way. Also, the pieces
interlock and the bottoms look honeycombed and very sturdy (I'll have to kick the
tires on one myself before I decide). If the material is as sturdy as it looks, then it's
going to be on my "buy someday" list, although it'll make a huge dent on my Warhammer
Fantasy building.

never going to use it I never play on grasy terains at home

They're taking pre-orders on this at my local store. One of the bigger target audiences seems to be parents. The carrying case that comes with it means that when you're taking your kids to grandma's and you know they'll be bored for a few hours, you can bring a gaming table with you.

Why does it have to be grassy?

From what I heard at a GW store last Thursday......

It will be a kit on it's own. People will be able to flock and paint it any way they want.

Now, if this is actually released in the US http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m303/Ebsolom/Blackpool2041.jpg I will buy the thing.

Are you thinking the CoD terrain will be included?

Keep in mind this table breaks down into 6 - 2'x2' pieces that go into a bag for storage. I don't see that 3" thickness hill being included.

Every picture has shown the hill, I would kind of assume it was part of the kit.

I think it is a great idea! I hardly have enough time to build and paint my armies, terrain always takes a back seat. If I could dry brush and flock a pre made terrain board that is easy to store and haul around I am all for it! $175 is not that bad for a game board that looks great and will last for years! Plywood boards are too hard to travel with, this is much better. I hope they make several variations so you can have all kinds of terrain!

I very very seriously doubt it includes any terrain. It looks like just 6 pieces designed to lock together to give you a gaming surface.

Honestly, while a non-flocked version would be nice to have so we can finish it ourselves, those of use who could finish the pieces really have the skill to make our own board for far less than what this will cost. The smart marketing move would be to have it come pre-flocked, then it will really appeal to the mothers of younger gamers, who don't want their little monsters spreading glue and flock all over their kitchen table trying to finish the pieces.

[rant]
As for all this "why does it have to be grass" whining, get the F%# over yourself. Grass is the easiest and non-coincidently the most popular way people flock tables. If you've decided to do some exotic basing of your miniatures, you really are an @$$ if you go somewhere expecting someone to have made tables for you to play on that match your basing. You've spent how much time painting your precious army and yet could never even be bothered to try to make your own table or terrain? You should be thankful someone else had the graciousness to provide you with something to play on besides your mother's dining room table. I'm sure you'll love playing with your elitist based miniatures assaulting across those fields of doilies and placemats.

Who is whining? I was asking him the question, why couldn't you just base/flock
the table your own way anyway?

Read the price to the far right of the image, its above 200 pounds sterling, which is way above the 75 pound retail price.

I overreacted once. True story.

I think the table looks great, but I'm not about to pay that much. Its sad, since I live in a tiny apartment and don't have room to store a table. It has given me the idea to just go to home depot and get a 6x4 plyboard chopped up into 2x2 squares and maybe get some hinges or something.

It has given me the idea to just go to home depot and get a 6x4 plyboard chopped up into 2x2 squares and maybe get some hinges or something.

Try 2'x4' strips of 1/4" pressboard. It's the brown stuff that looks like really really compressed and lacquered cardboard. It's lighter, pretty durable, doesn't bend easily and you can simply stretch and staple some felt over it.

Well i've heard alot about these:

story seems to be....


6 2'x2' pieces can be assembled any way together- easy to join but still leaves a fairly straight edge (similar to modular hills apparently)

They're made of the same stuff as the other terrain so should be quite hard wearing

Comes the same as the modular hills- so its the best of both worlds- you can paint it however you like, you can flock it, sand it, cover it in glue- and use it however you need it- however for the less inspired- it can just be given a nice simple paintjob

Finally the pics floating around of buildings and such are going to be christmas bundles with the board plus a load of terrain- theres going to be a few of these- one of them a 40k, one warhammer and i believe a generic one (LOTR?)


So basically a nice easy to use board without the hillarity of watching someone slice ther thumb off, measure the battons wrong and stick their mug of tea to the unfinished board.... (yeah last table i built was fun)

...even easier than flocking it, just buy a piece of 6x4 green felt and throw it over it...
can fold right up and go in the bag with it...

and if your REALLY ambitious, you could take on the ridiculously complex and advanced process of sewing a piece of desert themed felt to one side of it, and have either grass or desert to play on...

when i first heard about the table i thought it would have some terrain on it that would stay there, a la a few hills in either the middle or sides of some of the squares...
kind of disappointing that its just a jumbo puzzle for grown-ups...

Making terrain is generally cheaper than buying it. One can make alot of hills with a foam cutter and some insulation foam. One could make alot of buildings with balsa wood/plasticard/cardboard.

In my experience, however, most home made terrain comes out looking like crap.

The GW terrain might be expensive, but it looks good and it's pretty much "done" right out of the box (barring city fight stuff and of course, painting.)

This 6'x4' looks to be the same - fairly expensive, looks damn good, pretty much finished out of the box, and practical for storing. I'll pay for all those bonuses, thank you very much.

Zoned

Not something I would buy cause I'm too much of a do-it yourselfer. I can't knock it for those who'd prefer to purchase it though. At least GW is trying to think outside the box and offer some products that compliment the game. I just don't know if this is the kind of thing that will really make a big impact for them though.

Personally I like the 6'x4' felt with green on one side and tan on the other. At least that you can throw down on a floor if you're lacking a sizable table.

Maybe it's just me, but if even one of my minis was on the floor, I wouldn't let anyone else in the room... if the whole lot were on the floor I'd have some sort of cranial meltdown.

Hmm, true and me w/ a 2 year old around...not good.

It will take every part of my willpower not to immediately buy two of these... or even one. I buy almost every bit of terrain GW puts out (except those $40 aquarium plants... those were absurd), and it is so hard not to just go 'gimme gimme gimme!'.

However, given the price, this board ranks up there with the aquarium plants when it comes to lucidrously inflated price tags.

The only reason I'd get one is to make it up as a snow table, because I like snow tables...

BYE

H.B.M.C. wrote:The only reason I'd get one is to make it up as a snow table, because I like snow tables...

Amen. First thing I thought of. For some reason, with those hills, I immediately thought, "Hecks yes, a snow table for my Space Wolves." And then I saw the price tag and though, "I'd have to sell my Space Wolves." And that's as far as the conversation went.

I can confirm all of this, saw it on the pre-order system.

2x2 pieces of the rigid, grey plastic we all know and love. Same stuff as the modular hills released last year (or the year before?). Note that I said the rigid, hard plastic Hills and not the flexible, soft plastic Craters. This 6x4 table has four pieces with hills and crags molded, and two pieces without hills but still some trerrain features molded. It is NOT flat and featureless. You can connect the 2x2 pieces any way you want.

GW Modular Hills and 40K/Fantasy plastic terrain is also not included but can be added to the table.

$175 and the case with stackable 2x2s confirmed.

Sounds like you can come up with some nifty combinations if you buy two sets.

Not that I'm advocating that kind of thing.

Seriously though, getting a few people to go in together and buy two would be such a great, easy way to have some great tables. If I was in a situation in life where I could devote a lot of time, money, and effort into making my own tables, I definitely would before buying prefab stuff. Unless, it had a great price tag, of course. Which, this doesn't. But, a few buds to go in with would help take the sting out of that.

I just put through a £270 Forge World order through. I cannot afford this now...

It'll still be there in January.

I wasn't so sure at first but now I think it seems like a cool idea.. but I think I would have rather seen them package the tiles separately, or at least allow you to mail order them in separate pieces. Like, maybe you just want to build a 4x4 board for smaller games? Or a bigger one if you usually play on 4x8? It would also be cool if they would definitely say if they have different tiles coming out later, but I guess they want to see how good the main set sells first.

For me I don't have anywhere to play in my house and I don't really have any other terrain, but after I finally sell my old place and move I'm planning to build a game room so something like this might come in handy. Even though I doubt I'll be hosting a lot of games at my house.. but you never know...

That exactly the thing I need. An easy to pack gaming board without the need to use any tools (which I don't own). Sadly, 175$ is too much for me...

Finally an excellent table investment for me and my brother.

I've got a feeling that the 230-ish quid price is for a xxx-mas special deal of sorts containing the six tiles, the craters, an Imperial city sector and a box of Black Reach, making for an excellent all-you-need starter set.

I am a big fan of terrain of all kinds and really like what I see here. I will probably buy two sets for base-level Apocolypse and await further tile releases. To me attractive terrain makes the game and sure I can make boards myself but storage is getting tight around the house so here's a great compromise. Cost doesn't bother me much as these are durable, long term items and with luck GW will support the product long enough to get some cool add ons.

DN

$175?!?

Nope, no interest.

Does anyone know if add ons are going to be an option?

malfred wrote:Does anyone know if add ons are going to be an option?

Talking to the guys at GD they said that new tiles would be released eg roads, rivers etc.

Well, that's a selling point!

Support the product, lol.

Ok, now that is getting me interested. But I'll probably wait till those other options are released before I shell out for the modular table.

Here are some pics out of a little booklet they were handing out...

Nice.

Sorry, am I the only one who thinks this looks crap? Especially at £100!!!

For £100 your could build a very nice table, modular or permanent, with much more detailed or optionable terrain and with much less obvious joints. That would require a modicum of effort though.

No doubt bud, especially with the works I've seen here alone I dont think most of us would buy it. You should see some of the homemade stuff we play on at bit kingdom on texture spray painted poster board, pretty awesome Ill have to post pics of it some time.

They'll sell tons to kids and people who don't have the time and skills to make their own terrain.

It's not the world's first ready made wargame terrain.

yeah,
I'll want 10 sections, 6 hill corners and 4 plains so i can mix it up more in 6x4 mode and then make the table extra big for the big games, carry bag to transport it where it's needed. So I guess i'll have to get this x 2, but thats ok cos it's x2 awesome.
I already have a good table (5'x4') but they take up space in the hall, the fact this breaks down in to a 2x2 pile is awesome.

£100 each is alot though, i felt the same don't buy it urge when the imperial city came out but that's turned out to be great value... whenever i manage to get around to splashing out on these will be anyones guess, but I can't wait.

I hope they do a city fight version with intersections pavements etc...... I was concidering buying that lazer-cut-wood urban roads set someone posted on here a while ago. but the postage from australia was way too much.

PaniC...

A hundred quid seems reasonable to me, that's around €125,-- if all goes well. If not, there's always a store where I can get a nice 10% discount on GW stuff. The 2' x 2' tiles are ideal for storage, something not at a premium here.

Are any dates known on when we can expect this to pop up for pre-order?

If you see roads and rivers and other later add ons will probably depend on how well this first pieces sell.

My wife just said, "Maybe we need children."

You need children, and children need TOYS!

That's kind of what she meant.

If we're going to spend this kind of money anyway...

At the risk of sounding like an ubber dork... I think I just wet myself with excitement.

Ubber?

Is that like a cross between uber and utter? Or Udder? If it's udder then that's a little creepy.

BYE

Are these prices pre or post GW price hike?

I always chuckle when I see some of you guys violently fight the urge to spend money. Let's analize what game we play......Initial cash drop to make army $250+, dice, paint, place to play. It is not a cheap hobby.

GW is attempting to make a funcational game table. It looks nice. If it's plastic and you can flock to your own flavor. That is a win.

I may have to hold off my CoD terrain project til this thing comes out.

I want to get 2, but may not on principle. I want snow for my Ultramarines and a desert for fighting Orks.

I guess we need to see how it goes together, in person, before making too many judgements about it.

I mean, the price is a huge sticking point - it's just ludicrous - but if it is of high quality, that might take some of the sting out of that shockingly abusive price tag.

BYE

What does GW sell that doesn't have shocking price tag?

I accept and enjoy the hobby.

I heard it's going to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle

The price isn't so great but if they continue to add new and cool pieces and eventually sell them all separately it could turn out to be a really cool system. But then I'm sure the warstore and other places will be selling em separately for a little extra.

I just thought I would pipe in this thread since it is linked from elsewhere.

A couple years ago I bought a 4'x6' modular urban table from CNC workshop's www.miniaturescenery.com when they first came out. It cost me about $200 after shipping.
If you want the same table now, it will cost you roughly $300 after shipping (the price has gone down a touch since last year). Quite a nice layout and very very modular in 9&3/4 inch squares. The problem is that it is made out of MDF and no where near as sturdy as these GW plastic tables, takes a decent amount of time to assemble and doesn't look anywhere near as pretty as the GW table does either.

I guess what I am trying to say is that surprisingly, out of many other manufacturers out there for modular tables, this isn't a bad a deal as many are making out to be.
Sure, its not cheap, but in comparison I can think of only one other company that makes stuff like this that is cheaper, and that is Zuzzy mats. But its not truly comparable, because Zuzzy isn't modular.

The more pics I see of the boards all done in different ways, the more I am convinced that a decent amount of effort went into making these.

When you factor in the time it takes to make your own board to this kind of standard that GW has, I am sure you probably would have rather spent the $200ish dollars for this table than building your own. YMMV of course.

Personally, I hope GW makes a mint off of these and expands their game board design. I can easily see that happening since these are quite usable outside of GW's strata. No skulls or imperial eagles from what I can see on the boards unless you count the totally optional kits that come with them making them even more expensive.
If they can make a goodly amount of profit form this, then I would hope to see a modular urban table in the future with streets and such, so I can put my somewhat-nice,-but-shoddy-in-comparison-to-quality-of-the-GW-table into the ebay pile. I would be happy to buy GW's table if it were an urban concept.

I hope they bring out more than just hills. As I've said, I'm a complete GW terrain junkie, so the quicker they bring out more things like this, the better.

Right now the hills don't interest me.

And I want Planetstrike to be a reality, so we can get some more CoD style buildings!!!

BYE

Given that in most cases you can get 20-25% discount online, and free shipping over (say) £50 for an order, this would put it around £75-£80 delivered. Given it would take me a week's worth or more (probably 2) of my free time. All my free time. And create a load of mess and hassle as stuff dries when I don't want to or the kids stick their grubby mitts in it. And probably end up not looking as good, weighing twice as much and being a lot less robust. I am very much in favour of this product.

I think GW's prices for terrain in general are actually pretty reasonable compared to their prices for toy soldiers, paints and books. I'm not sure why that is - but I'm guessing that it is because GW are producing plastic stuff in very high volumes and very efficiently compared to most of their competitors (including FW) who are primarily resin casters or similar. Also, GW are aware that their terrain gubbins are a lot less "must have" for the kiddies than their toy soldiers and paints are, so price sensitivity is much more of an issue.

Could you imagine what FWs table would cost?

Can you imagine what a FW table would weigh?

And somehow they'd find a way to miscast it.

BYE

True that, I am very tempted to get some FW terrain pieces (fuel tank and command post) for a modular desert table, but their atrocious miscast rate is really scaring me off. Their inability to properly cast or replace bad or broken parts is also a moot point that needs addressing. I'm glad that my Elysians have more or less come through in one piece, if only I could say the same of that Baneblade!

Heh.

Sitting on my table right now, prepared for the big weekend of building we're all gathered for, is my Stormblade. This Stormblade never went together properly, and after the last Apoc game, half of it fell off.

The tracks don't meet on the track-wheels, the track wheels themselves keep coming off and the actual tracks themselves... who's bright idea was it to make them slot into the main chassis (which doesn't fit itself, mind you - even without the miscasts).

I really do hate that model. Even though there are now conversion kits (replacing hideous resin tracks with delicious and nutritious plastic), I'm still hesitant to buy any more because of my current Storm Blade. Even on my resin Baneblade, which has managed to (mostly) stay together, I can still hear it creaking whenever I pick it up.

Conversely, I can juggle my plastic Baneblades.

BYE

Right you are there, I still regret shelving out money for that Lucius pattern Baneblade. The top hull section was bent beyond repair and when I tried to bend it back into shape it broke on me after a morning of gentle bending. Worst of all is that FW didn't listen or do a thing to fix it. They shipped a faulty part so I'd expect something from their fabled generous customer services. Na-da.

I do note that the quality tends to decline the older the production model gets. My Gryphonne Vanquisher turret was a mold-line ridden, bent piece of crap but those Krieg engineers came without any bent parts, mold lines or even flash. Like I said, I'm glad that those Elysians more or less came through in one piece. Here's hoping that my xxx-mas order will not let me down on Elysian goodness yet.

I've got a few Vanquisher turrets, and they're a little bent here and there. My two superheavies were a nightmare. The Manticores I have required a lot of fiddling to get right. The Bombard, on the other hand, went together pretty well. The Macharius was perfect (tracks moulded on as part of the sides, rather than separate!!!). I'm looking forward to building the other two I've got this weekend, as I know they'll be fine and I've gotten used to using green stuff now, so any problems will be dealt with easily.

I know that feeling from when I got a Centaur, now that was a pleasant surprise and the damn thing actually stays together properly without requiring a third hand or tape.

The question right now is whether or not to get that Vulture? I'm really careful around FW models, especially the kits that are 2+ years old, those are prone to have bad casting molds and extreme warping. Valkyries I can wait for, they might be coming out next year as plastic kits but there's no word on Vulture's, especially with all weapon options available.

I've got a feeling that if the modular gaming boards become a hit then we might see more of the generic tiles first that fit into all three systems: the mentioned rivers and simple dirt roads instead of specialized tiles for urban environments and whatnots. For now, I'm pretty content with a desert board. Oh yes.

I'm just wondering how many Daemon Worlds made of plastic are about to become red hot Warzones.

This one seals the deal. I'm getting one.

I want one too. I can't really make a table myself and this is a nice (although expensive) solution to my problem. I can base and flock the thing, but woodwork is not my forte.

I need something I can put on my table at home and play a game. This table lets me do that. The only question I have is will it have protective rubbers underneath it, or will I have to make those myself. I do not want to damage my table wile gaming... It will not make me not want to buy the set though, as I can make that part myself..

Never mind flock, just spot it with textured spraypaint and drybrush it. That much flocking by one person is a psychotic break waiting to happen.

Tablecloth?

I put a plastic sheet down over my dining room table before putting my gaming boards on top. Nicely protects everything and is non-slippy. I'd probably still do it even if there were rubber feet on the gaming boards.

Sheesh, now its rumored to go for $200 US? I know, what's another $25 when you are already spending $175, but still. Every new rumor I hear about the table makes it more unnecessary for my gaming needs, haha.

200 makes me pause a bit more.

A bit. It means I probably won't buy it now, but later. A month or two without minis
from PP will not happen, so I guess I'm SOL on this.

For now.

I am not going to buy that table for one specific reason:

the cost of buying a piece of MDF + the cost of terrain (CoD buildings, trees, hills) + the cost of bases for the terrain + the cost of all the paint needed = less than $200.

In conclusion, making your own terrain is Cheaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

err that's what i just did, 6 2x2 pieces of dry wall ( $12), I was buying it for another project ( leaky ceiling ), I use the gaming mat over top ( yes it's fake grass ).

Next step is to paint up the styrofoam I've been using as terrain.

BTW I do not think this is geared towards parents and traveling to wherever. This is geared to a Dad's who frankly have more money than time ;-), and would rather spend their time playing.

200 USD would factor into something along the lines of €150 hopefully.

glon52 wrote:At the current exchange rate it will make sense for US buyers to get theirs from the UK.

This is often the case, even when the Pound was a bit more costly vs. the US dollar. When it is not, some UK prices are much cheaper. Do not forget that you do not pay the UK VAT either, so it is an extra 17.5% discount. Final cost should be something like $149 dollars, and if they still do free shipping for advanced orders then you will really do well.

yeah,
I was thinking about this terrain last night.
I think it will be more attractive if you can buy extra tiles individually.
especially if they make extra variation tiles later?

PaniC...

Its a good idea, and I could use one (Considering I play on a cardboard box stretched over a table) but I suck at painting and don't have the time to paint half my army let alone a table.

Would be nice for them to come out with a table/Terrain that wouldn't have me spending hours working on just so it can look like crap...

I went by my local GW tonight to chat with another painter.

I had pre-ordered one of these, when the stated price was $175. Last weekend, the manager at the shop mentioned that they'd messed up the price point and that it would actually be $200. Ok, I'm a little disappointed, but still...

Tonight, he says they repriced it again, this time, $275.

WTF

I canceled my preorder. $175 was a bit much for something that, really, I can do with some foam. $200 is even worse. $275, I don't see how they're going to sell them at all. And the manager at the shop agreed with me. He had just started the unenviable task of calling everyone that had preordered the table at $175 to tell them about the change.

Just cancelled my preorder.

$200 was too expensive, but this.... There is no way in hell I can abide that. None.

What's GW's employee discount? Could I get a job in a GW store long enough to buy one, then quit right after?

Would it be safe to say that you support this price increase John, and find it a fair and appropriate reaction to market forces?

BYE
