I don't know how many of you guys know about this company, but with Planetstrike headed in, I took a look, and figured it could be a reasonable way to build up an excess of durable terrain without spending vast sums on GW goods.

A lot of their stuff seems distinctly of GW origin from an Aesthetic sense(for example, the Landing pad seems quite Tau), and should fit in nicely. The fact that they use GW models for scale purposes also helps.

They also do some sweet stuff in the fantasy realms section.

I haven't ordered from them yet, but they seem to be a fairly established business, and seeing them up there, I thought I'd pass on the website in time for Planetstrike.

That's pretty nice stuff, and cheap for the sheer size of it!

That's... fairly expensive, no? Prices are in GBP (USD:GBP is 1:.6) so the nicer models are still in the $25+ range and the detail isn't very good.

On the other hand, I did think it was hilarious that they're using Macragge Marines for their scale displays.

You know, Litko Aerosystems has an excellent selection of Industrial Towers and Space Corridors. http://www.litkoaero.com/page/LAI/CTGY/ITS
Far superior to these vacuformed terrain pieces.

Its cheap for a reason. Vacu-form stuff isn't up to the quality of scratch-built, resin or GW's styrene terrain.

But it's better than books under a cloth, and its quicker than making struff from scratch. So if you are time and/or money and/or skills poor, it gets the job done.

I've got some of their stuff, and for the right kind of thing (stuff without much detail - e.g. trenches, islands for uncharted seas) I'd not hesitate to get some more. But for a game I played a lot and where I wanted high quality terrain and I had invested a lot of time into the models and table, then I'd look elsewhere.

I certainly can recommend them for their quality as a company and would have no reservations about ordering from them.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Some of the pieces are vacuform, others are sheet styrene, and the sheeting used is not all that thin.

I would not be trying their hilltop pieces but the ruins look ok.

I still prefer Pegasus terrain though.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Vacuform isn't quite up to GW standard, but if you want a few pieces of durable, light, cheap terrain that doesn't look too atrocious, I'd say these are the people to go to.
