Dark green water would be a good option. Almost the 'film not removed' color from Panic's pic.

Different colour paper stuck to the underside creates all sorts of different effects. Black or dark gray would give you the kind of colour that you're looking for. That's why I went with that particular colour, it's the most versatile.

Really like your products!

What do you charge for shipping to the US? (Couldn't find it on the website)

Thanks in advance.

I've had a couple offers already in that regard. I'm waiting for things to settle down a bit before I pursue that though.

Here's a peak at the building baseplates - these'll be up tomorrow.

I'm liking those building baseplates. More pictures, and prices, please! And please do get a US distributor if you can swing it! Shipping's going to be a killer for those in the 'States...

Valete,

JohnS

Those building stuff looks awesome!

Unfortunately we don't have an equivalent of the USPS flat-rate packets, that would be really useful! The shipping for outside Europe is set to £20 but I do issue a refund if the shipping works out significantly cheaper. (just for reference though, a set of roads + a set of canals + a couple of bridges comes in around £20)

BTW, that last pic has three other new products in it - anyone spotted them?

Crossroad, broken road and canal end?

*I've not been on your site for a while so some of those may already exist

Do want!

Those building plates look great.
I will definitely be ordering some.

Almost, cross-roads were in the starter pack. The third one is particularly tricky.

Hmmm... is it Citadel Game Board style Tiles? The Brown Surface there?

Hats off to you Scott-S6. I liked the canals and roads but seeing them intergrated with the building base plates really ties the hole line together beautifully. As soon as I can make some space you can expect another order to come your way.

Keep it up, I look forward to further updates on your products.

The steps?

Leman... Russ?



Textured surface for the canals.

They're from the Shrine of the Aquila.

Canal ends with grate?
Steps up to buildings? [appearantly not]
And a broken up road section.
Sidewalk/pavements?

Ah, I've not bought any of their buildings.

Between the salamander and the sentinel you can just see the first of the detailed road sections (there's a manhole and a wiring conduit access - I said it was tricky!). That, the broken road, canal end and building baseplates will all be on the site later today.

I really like those bases! and great markers too!
sorry, but do you ship too Australia? thanks.

Ahhh... I can just about see it

Shame I don't have loads of money, time and space to order a whole load of your stuff - some really good stuff you are putting out.

Regardless of that though I may have to get some of your flying bases when I get round to doing my Eldar if they will fit on jetbikes, vipers and grav tanks.

May also get some of the wound bases for my DP's and Avatars.

That was always the plan. Looking forward to your order!

Vypers and grav tanks are no problem. Jetbikes I don't have to try but I think they will squeeze on. The interface plate is 14mm x 25mm.

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.


We also have a broken road piece.


And the first road piece with extra detailing.


Also, a canal end piece.

I really really like the baseplates and I'm trying to figure out how many I will need to make my city block.
Could you show some example lay-puts so we can see how the baseplates interact with the road sections?

I'm doing a diagram at the moment.

Basically, all edges of the small baseplate and the short edges of the large baseplate fit the standard (short) road piece. The long edges of the large baseplate fit the long road section.

Have you considered making those roads at strange angles? I understand the ease of making the entire "city" gridded, but in terms of gaming this creates really long fire lanes.

There are going to be other road angles available.

As for fire lanes in cities, a bit of debris or rubble can fix that. Also, by alternating large and small baseplates you can make roads zig-zag in a small-ish layout.

The minute the first couple of vehicles get destroyed or immobilised you'll find that it's very congested indeed. We ended up adapting the Atlas tank recovery vehicle rules (from IA1Update) so that other vehicles could push or pull tanks out of the way.

S-6,

To fill up either a 4' by 4' table, how many road and baseplates would be needed? Can you also relay how many sets for a 4' by 6' table?

Are the canals the same width as your roads? So as to be interchangeable in the boards? Such as, you could make a canal between buildings running down the center of your table, bridges and such crossing as the roads run up to the canal?

Thanks, your stuff looks terrific!

How's this:

That's exactly what I ment, thank you.

Absolutely, the canals are 10cm wide also. The bridges are longer than a junction (especially the long-ramp version) but they can be sat on top of the roads, overlapping.

To fill a 4x4? Quite a bit. A small baseplate plus a road is aproximately 1 foot. So a grid of 4x4 small baseplates would cover a 4x4 table. This would be one way of doing it:

16 baseplates
32 short roads
6 t-junctions
9 cross roads
1 corner

You could eliminate the roads along the edges by throwing some large baseplates into the mix. You could also put a canal down one of those roads with bridges over it.

Although I doubt I'll buy one, maybe you should have a special package deal for a 4x4 urban table

I they look amazing, i love the canals, first time ive been to the website today and very impressed with the quality of your products and the value for money on the starter sets in awesome....

Once the dark eldar hit the streets I'm going to be buying a metric buttload of the flying stands
