We were privliged to attend the first official NZ event since the start of the pandemic last weekend, with our own Nick Jebson squaring up against 22 others. It was a great oppertunity to test out the new Shadowfey terrain in a competitive environment, so we brought 3 tables down with us, The dragons graveyard, Shadowfey ruins and what was dubbed the forest village. All the games we observed on the tables came down to the wire, with each table granting a variety of different benefits and challenges for the players. In the end, lots of fun and tense games were had, and Nick managed to walk away with a respectable 13th placing.

Damn, those look so fething good. I'm in the middle of painting up a 3d printed dark eldar terrain board for 40k right now, and this is....absolutely revolutionary. You can print damn near top-quality terrain for the cost of the cheapest MDF or Fishbowl terrain - I just got finished painting up this huge spire tower, 10" tall, just as a decorative piece 'cus I felt like I wanted a couple big tall towers on the board, and it cost like 4$ to make. Unbelievable.

I'm currently printing Printable Scenery's Wasteworld. So refreshing to see a Mad Max styled post-apoc setting instead of Fallout for once.

Lovely boards. Looking great on the play mats as well.

You should definitely post up some pictures of those spires man! Yeah, printing terrain is probably one of the most cost-effective things I have found In my 18 years in the hobby. Yes, it has an up-front cost (though that has reduced significantly now) but the value from that point on is incredible.

We had so much fun making that terrain. In fact, I'm trying to get some of the locals together for some Gaslands so that I can play on it again XD

Cheers mate, yeah getting a complimentary mat really elevates it. Think all 3 of them are F.A.T mats from Tablewar, though the ruins mat might be from Deepcut Studios

Nice looking terrain there! Also well done Jebson, did any of the rest of you play?

Nah just me, Everyone else was busy. My younger brother joined me though for his first-ever wargaming event.

Atm im working on the smaller pieces as I just got the big blocking pieces from a friend of mine with a plastic printer, ive got a few area terrain pieces, a couple of towers, and some spikes and objectives.
