Been looking at getting some of the Terraclips stuff for some time now to build my approximation of Venice - I have been slowly producing my own version using the TerrainLinx stuff (essentially, it is the same as the Terraclips but you print, glue and cut it yourself - it's incredibly time consuming and laborious, even with the enlisted help of my wife), and I figured that it would probably be approaching the next century before I got around to finishing it, so I bit the bullet and ordered a set of 'Streets of Malifaux' and 'Sewers of Malifaux' off Wayland and I'm happy to report it arrived yesterday. I spent a happy and productive hour or so attempting to build a 2 level game board.

I say attempting; you have to think about what you want to achieve beforehand otherwise you can quickly end up having to take sections apart because you put the wrong type of clip in. Other than that, first impressions are great; can't wait top experiment and see what I can do with it. You can get some quite complex stuff done just with the two sets I ordered and it looks great - the clips are not as obtrusive as one would imagine and the quality of the cardstock and finish is excellent. I only wish there were some more videos with some example layouts; it did say on the World Works Games site that they would have a video detailing assembling the sewers and streets sets but I couldn't find it (they have a video on the buildings set but it is redundant for me since I don't have that set). Anyway, will post up some pics when I am done but I think it is well worth the price.

I look forward to those pictures. I am intrigued, but I'd rather see a practical model built by somebody who bought the product, rather than the glamored version they are likely to show you in the online store.

Some quick and dirty pics of my first set-up before I tear it all apart and start again! This was created straight out of the box, just fiddling about and making it up as I went along. The next layout will be a bit more structured and planned. This is the streets and sewers sets - I estimate I have used maybe half of each set. What limited me is the amount of clips; I only have one box so need to get another box stat! Now that I have viewed the tutorial videos on the website, I feel a bit more confident and creative moving forward.

Those sets do look pretty cool. Look forward to seeing what you can come up with

Apologies for the delayed reply to this thread - the impending birth of our second child has meant I have had to shift my man-cave into a different room

Anyway, got some more of the Terraclips clip sets and have had another bash at putting something together - focussed on making a smaller board this time but with more levels. I am going to have a bash at a Carnevale game tonight and see how I fare with the new board - here you can see my (unpainted) Guild squad about to face off against my (unpainted) Patricians squad







I would guesstimate from the sets I have (1 x Streets and 1 x Sewers) that I have enough to make maybe a 3 level board of about 3 x 3 feet square, maybe a little larger depending on how you arrange things. Obviously, if I went to 2 levels, I could make that even larger. It all depends on how complex you want to get.

Loving the Terraclips stuff so far - easy to put together and the only limit seems to be my creativity. One thing I would like to see is some sort of website where they give you some sample layouts so you can use them as a base or inspiration for your own. It can be a bit daunting to start with deciding how you want to lay it all out. Next on the agenda is to maybe get some more sets - now I have the clips, I need more tiles!

Hey Filbert, your board is so cool! nice job!
