That Whrdscapes looks amazing, but I'm going to assume it will cost about the same as making the real thing in life size.

**-Loki-**

I'm expecting $400au-$500au, depending on how many buildings it comes with, though that's roughly based on the Secret Weapon hard plastic 4x4 modular boards being $250au.

Anything more and it's unlikely to sell well, which isn't what you want for a hard plastic product since you've invested so much in the molds.

https://www.wyrd-games.net/news/2018/1/18/wyrdscapes-preview <--- linky here!

That stuff is super-nice for Malifaux and Mordheim and Frostgrave and so on. Nicer than GW's terrain, for sure!

**thekingofkings**

lets all not forget "through the breach" as wyrd's stuff is multi use. someone mentioned the insides being no big deal. maybe not for malifaux proper but for TTB

I am definately on this one

also thinking it will be good for other side too

**-Loki-**

This board would be awful for The Other Side. The majority of bases are 80-100mm plug bases, with only a few 40mm and 50mm bases, and a few 120mm bases.

The Other Side is designed around using 40k style 6x4 boards, with a few houses and large rocks and patches of forest but mostly open.

**schoon**

The boards look gorgeous. Looking forward to more info.

**Binabik15**

Jesus Henrietta Christ that is awesome terrain.

**ChargerIIC**

It looks good. I could see Warmachine Players buying multiple sets to make a 4x4 or 6x4 tables.

**Bossk_Hogg**

I've always been a bit confused... Can anyone explain why every GW rumor, product, specialty game, etc gets it's own thread, but non GW items are all mashed together into one? Thread traffic volume? Not arguing, just curious! Thanks!

Are these supposed to represent new Malifaux constructions constructed after the breach was re-opened, the ones built in the first doomed expedition 100 years ago, or original buildings that existed pre-breach? While really cool, they don't fit in with what I had envisioned. I don't have any of the new Through the Breach products, so don't know if it jives with the RPG.

**-Loki-**

Nathan showed some happy snaps of what appear to be the final production sprues of one of the buildings and gave some extra information.

What is it made out of - same stuff our Malifaux miniatures are. HIPS. They will come on a sprue and you bust them out, put together and you're good to go. We've gone out of our way to get rid of fiddly bits and thin parts and everything is pretty beefy and thick. An no, you don't have to put each roof tile on individually.

Tiles are 12"x12" and can be spun about and put together however you want and connected on the bottom so that they don't slide apart, etc.

There is quite a bit that y'all haven't seen, or I should say all of it. Yes we have scatter terrain, barricades, etc. Yes there are more planned beyond this set.

Yes many of the buildings are modular. You can stack multiple levels, etc and then pick and choose between some roof tops as well. It's not all interchangeable (particularly the large building), but we've tried to build in some back and forth customization.

Pricing - haven't gotten that tacked down a 100% yet but we're working on it. We're not after an arm and a leg - maybe a small finger or big toe perhaps. Yes for some it will be a 'luxury' item, but then again, anything beyond the basic necessities is. You'll also be able to pick them up as kits and build upon them as you want, so there is no need to break the bank all at once if you want.

**Alpharius**

So we'll be able to pick up the buildings separately from the 'tiles'?

**-Loki-**

My guess is the buildings will be separate in multiple different sets, a set of scatter terrain and a set of tiles. Purely guessing though.

**Bossk_Hogg**

I think these might put an end to Plastcraft's line, which always felt way too expensive for the equivalent printed foamcore (and one sided at that... nothing like having a wall with one side pure white).

**Alpharius**

Ultimately price will determine that though, right?

**-Loki-**

Plastcraft still has a big draw being pre coloured.

Never underestimate people’s laziness.

Also if you want a circuis or bayou board they still have the only official lines.

That being said I was planning a board using their high town buildings and now I’m probably just throwing that into this.

**highlord tamburlaine**

They price those right and you can bet a lot of other games are going to be putting them to use.

Buildings look like they'd be right at home in some of the Old World's cities.

**willb2064**

Terrain looks great. Don't have a lot of interest in Malifaux the game, but I will likely buy a ton of this for WMH and WHF.

**JohnHwangDD**

Someone learned a lot from the GW terrain! The design is very good.

Are these compatible with tablescape tiles?

The tiles are 1’x1’ which is the same as secret weapons tiles. The connecting points are probably going to be different but the size matches.

The buildings are separate so you should just be able to plonk them on tablescape tiles or any table just fine.

What about the height of Wyrd's tiles compared to Secret Weapon's?

I've only seen what others have seen, but by the preview they look like they're about an inch thick. Secret Weapons are about 1cm? So height will be an issue. Though you could use the height to have the stream sections running through to make a low canal running through a town.

**DaveC**

I was wondering about the compatibility with secret weapon tiles myself the Wyrd tiles look thicker alright but that can be worked around or hidden with walls hedges etc. Aren’t both being made by Wargames factory? (Well were in SWM case as they in dispute) If so there’s bound to be some similarities in the design/manufacture although I think the SWM clip system design belongs to them. I’ll be keeping an eye on this new terrain price will be the deciding factor.

**-Loki-**

WGF just tools the mold and casts for Wyrd. It’s unlikely Wyrd would have copied SWMs tile clips.

It’s more likely as they are holding onto the molds and stuff from secret weapons.

New two-faction starter box with Ten Thunders vs Resurrectionists

**ImAGeek**

Looks awesome, and Rezzers and TT are 2 factions I’ve been looking at buying into.

**JohnHwangDD**

There's a monster who looks like a head on a flaming wheel? Stay weird, Malifaux!

**.Mikes.**

I think that was what we saw on the other page against one of the new terrain peices.

Close up of the box:

I'm interested.

Pretty spot on.
