Anyone have any experience with this line? I'm looking to expand my terrain collection and was looking for alternatives to GW products and came across them last night. In particular, I'm looking at the Technobridge kit, river sections and buildings. Thoughts? As always, thanks to anyone for help.

They make robust cheap models and have a mix. There's a few SF things, I bought their 1:48 V2 for a Deathstrike conversion and was pleased with it.#

Though it's a strange model, the plastic kit is nicely made and detailed, but then it comes with some stickers (not transfers, sticky labels for children) with skulls and 'Boom' written on them.

That reminds me, I also saw a rocket of some type (not the Apollo version) that looked like it had good potential as an objective marker in an Apocalypse game or a campaign. Byb the by, is the bridge expandable, or do I only have 12" to work with? I've been on a kick with bridges and river terrain lately; it's about the only thing I don't have.

I can't speak for the bridge/ river sections. Their buildings lack skulls which appeals to me and can all be combined to make very nice terrain. I also prefer their prices to GW.

Their buildings are really good, and in some kits big! Also they have slots which allows you to change the layout of the building, wall sections come in half and full sizes. The kit that I have is a very solid plastic and is surprisingly heavy. Recommend the techno bridge, again it slots together which means if you buy two sets you'll have a very impressive setup.

Well, I've got the river sections, craters, sandbags and barrels in terms of their pre-painted stuff. They work well.

I recently assembled and partially painted their one chapel. The plastic is quite hard, so durability shouldn't be a large issue. The sections needed some prep, but went together well. The only caution I have is that the unpainted stuff needs to be washed thoroughly since there is a lot of releasing agent on it. Once you do that though, painting it up is quite easy.

Bottom line, very good terrain at a very, very reasonable price. Most of the stuff I picked up was around $10. The rivers were $15 and the chapel just over $20 for a good sized building.

Pegasus makes fantastic terrain. I highly reccomend the river, it's a bargain and its already painted. It's best to get 2 sets if you're paying on a 6x4. The sandbags and other low walls are equally awesome and also come pre painted. The ruins/buildings are a good value. What's really nice is that unlike the gw stuff, there's a set that's completely intact if you just want to make an impassable buiding. The technobridge is great and it's wide enough to hold a baneblade. Like the river, I'd suggest picking up two, you can build them without glue and just snap fit them together if you want to make a larger bridge.

You can see the chapel, technobridge, river and a bunch of sandbags.

the bridge is nice looking and comes in a boltgun color which looks fine as is (but could use some work IMO). you can connect two bridges together as the kit allows this. only issue I had with it is on the slanted parts models seam to slide twards the bottom so it seams to need some kind of texture.

The techno bridge is a great kit, though I use it for a source of components more than as the bridge it is intended to build.

I love their stuff, this was my first big building using just one of their gothic building kits and some stuff from their chemical kit



In a fit of mania a few years back I build a city out of their stuff.

And then a ridiculously large bridge

THe entrance ramps are both Pegasus technobridges.

Alas all of this is now is storage for the next few years...

I just received two of the Gothic Ruins yesterday, and I have to say that I really like them: heavy, durable plastic, looks like very easy construction (almost like they snap together) and the cost was very competative. I did notice that there isn't nearly as much detail as the GW buildings, but that is perfectly fine with me. Overall, I am incredibly happy with their product, and will definitely buy from them again.

Versteckt in den Schatten deines Geistes.

I've got a stack of the gothic building kits and a couple of techno-bridges. They're fantastic. A little fiddly in places, but the fact that they're modular and can be taken apart and put back together in whatever configuration you want is a great feature. I've used them to make whole cities, and even once combined about 6 sets to make a massive 7-story facade that I used as the main wall of a crumbling cathedral for Deathwatch/Black Crusade. It was great (and doubled as a good GM screen!).

The technobridge is also good. Decent length and quite wide, more than enough for Land Raiders and even Baneblades. Again they are completely modular, so a couple of sets can be used to make a long bridge. I've found a lot of uses for them.

I've never had any of their river sections though, so I can't help you there.

Now that is a terrain table! Thanks for the link, that thread was well worth a look.

I haven't had a chance to put them to use, yet, but I've got the Gothic City building and ruin kits. As others have said, they're modular, beefy, and reasonably priced, if a little on the plain side (although, it seems they take quite nicely to a bit of paint and general dressing up, if being made into a permanent structure). I'd easily recommend those kits to anyone and convey my confidence that the rest of the range is likely of the same quality (from the feedback in this thread, it appears I wouldn't be remiss in so doing).

I have used their Hexaon, Platformer and Chemical Plant kits. The Platformer and Chemical plant pieces are great for greebling or on their own.

I've done a few buildings with the Hexagon kits, but it's definitely an aquired taste due to the visibility of the clip attachment points. On the plus side it's easy to clip apart Hexagon bits to greeble with.

I much prefer Pegasus stuff in general because it is not-grimdark and build's larger structures for the $, though know that the buildings will mostly require you to build your own floors and ceilings.
