Subject: NEW RELEASE Tombs of the Dark Sun tile-set
Hi all. Just letting you guys and gals know about my new Tombs of the Dark Sun tileset.
WE ARE NOW SHIPPING ORDERS.
This extensive and highly-detailed set comes pre-tinted in 'Ghostly Grey'* and only 1500 sets will ever be produced. Vacuum-cast by an experienced resin caster means that the sets are cleanly cast with minimal (if any) air bubbles.
Each square measures 25 x 25mm representing 5ft sq and is suitable for miniature scales 25-28mm but can also be used up to 32mm.
The extensive set includes:
(1) Certificate of Authenticity
(1) 'The Awoken of Dwar Ri An' mini adventure suitable for most RPG's
Feature pieces
(1) Upper stairway
(1) Lower stairway
(1) Stairway going down
(1) Double doors (with removable doors)
(2) Archways
(2) Iron gates (with removable metal cast gates)
(2) Stone doors (with removable doors)
(2) Long feature walls
(2) Short 'dead end' feature walls
(2) Stone statues
(4) Stone pillars
(1) Broken pillar
(1) Double feature pillar
(2) Upright caskets (with workable sliding lids)
(3) Different caskets with removable lids
An equivalent of 278 squares of floor space giving you a staggering 6950 sq ft of adventuring space at 28mm scale!
A truly immense set leaving you wandering the domains of the dead for years to come.
*Please note that the pre-tint may vary from set to set.
Really nice set. It's a shame its limited though. Wouldn't be able to afford one for 4-6 months.

++ Heed my words for I am the Herald and we are the footsteps of doom. Interlopers, do we name you. Defilers of our
sacred earth. We have awoken to your primative species and will not tolerate your presence. Ours is the way of logic,
of cold hard reason: your irrationality, your human disease has no place in the necrontyr. Flesh is weak.
Surrender to the machine incarnate. Surrender and die. ++

I've been looking at alternative dungeons for a while now (looking beyond paper dungeons) and yours has the mix of 2D and 3D that I love, whilst having better detail than the majority of alternatives I've seen. Now the fund-raising process begins
I hope it's successful for you - it would be good to see more sets like it in the future
@warpspawned Thanks. Yeah the plan was to offer more floor space instead of a total 3d design. This allows more adventuring space without re-laying tiles. The wall sections are merely used as feature pieces being a representation of whats around. Players still get that feeling of a 3d set without having to get off ya back side to have a look over walls. This is just a personal experience of my lazy RP group, myself included .
I'm thinking... Mummies. Desert stuff, maybe some Djinn/ Giants....
Please PM me some details, digging that look of the tiles, and would like to know more...
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.
Just to help answer Grots questions which some of you might be thinking.
Yes i do have additions to this set but i wont be releasing them for a while. These would include secret doors, passageways, traps and stacks which allow you to build up your tombs creating different levels.
i do also have other themed sets almost ready but cannot disclose what they are at this moment.
@Rayvon Soo much scope. Since having this set we have used it for MERP, Rolemaster, Advanced Heroquest, 40k Mortalis and even as ruined terrain In a standard 40k game. I could go on but you get the idea Thanks again for all ya feedback folks!
Thanks all! Not long now until i start shipping them. BTW its still not too late to get a pre-order and claim a free gift before the 2nd Nov. Thanks again
