Maybe it's clockwork terrain?
Is it? I only just see the vents at the top of each pole- not really seeing any gears or anything. Which is actually fine by me because I hate clockwork/steampunk.

The bear on the bottom of the battlement has that "Oh... gak, he's right behind me isn't he?" face you get when you are talking gak about your boss who is... right there.

I know there are a lot of 'details' to these boards, but they seem very... bland isn't the word, but disjointed? It's like comparing the 5th hellscape to the previous 4 tiles. It doesn't quite match the other tiles. Individually they look good, but I think when trying to put them all together into a table they sort of fall apart in their individuality. Kind like there's no i in team.

I'm loving the anime boards, personally, as they look perfect for using as the SDF-1, an ARMD platform, Zentraedi ship, etc, for Robotech.

I can agree with that for the Anima board - but then these are just the bases without terrain - and you'll need a lot of terrain!
The other use I can see for them is using them as a base on a "normal" grass table for an emplacement location. = so, normal 6x4 flat table with grass mat. Then you have this placed at a location on the table.
Then on top of the tile, you place your imperial Bastion, your Mantic Landing pad, your hab-units, etc - so it's like whoever built the fortifications or docks have placed them onto a concrete/pre-fab slab instead of on dirt, even if it doesn't take up the entire board...

Some of us played Deadzone for the first time. We used a lot of 40k buildings terrain as our Deadzone terrain is not built yet. As soon as it is we will switch. Guys & gals.... it's pretty sweet Deadzone on Anime Wars. Will post pics tomorrow, we want to get the Deadzone Terrain done first. We will jump on the Mantic thread about the game (pretty sweet and good ruleset).
Once we get our Robottech pledged we backed, its going to see a lot of Robotech Action. Works really well with 40k funny enough with the scenery on. Felt like a massive battle in a smashed up tech factory. I think you just have to play around with Anime Wars if you want to get the feel for it. For some of us it clicks really well. Big thanks to the Dark Sphere store (London) who let us use all the terrain. We will kit that place out with battle boards. The store owner & gamers were impressed which was awesome. For us at least Anime Wars and Deadzone is an instant match. Personally I prefer it to streets and roads, as you have more freedom placing terrain around the board.
Did we say the game is pretty sweet, great rule set. Very tight game. I had to demo it to our creative director. Read the rules a couple of times last night. I could write a page on this. I wish you could all play Deadzone on the Anime Wars battle board, really cinematic game, brings the game to life. We are going to be there next week and will make an announcement so if you are in town. Come join us.
Was a great night of gaming. The tray system and dice tray worked like a treat. (We played 70pts).

Glad to see the final hellscape board and very happy to see that it has detailing to the edge of the board... some of the other seem to look like a blob of detail in the middle with plain sections around the edges which I think looks a little odd when you join the individual boards together to form a table.
Happy to see as I was planning on getting the Hellscape set as it would fit in with the majority of the games I play/the style of most of my based models/etc
