Glad to hear that Lost Desert is being made outside of the Kickstarter, that was the one I was most interested in.

I'm super-happy about the custom deadzone board as well, that's going to be pretty amazing. I might boost my current display board into a full 4x4 or even 4x6 since it'll work so well with all the terrain I'm getting.

It's actually a better option for me than the urban streets set, since I find the roads to be too wide for my liking, whereas with a bunch of DZ tiles I can put terrain wherever and get more of a sprawling setup.

Might get grass board as well, I'll really need to see what the join lines between tiles are like though, since that really is the dealbreaker on a plastic board, if there isn't a good fit or the clips don't provide a perfect flush edge to edge fit then the gaps look terrible, the RoB board suffers from this quite a lot.

Pretty much every single update on this makes me more interested, and I was initially highly skeptical. Quality and attention to detail throughout, we need more companies like this that can not only match what GW produces, but make their products look like the lower-quality option.

Heh. I might just buy an extra 4x4 board then... Cityscape for 40k, and Ruined Temple for Malifaux/Warmahordes.

Filled mine out

There's a bit of an odd button at the end if you want to log back in- you basically click it, and it sends you an email to create a password. I just did that so I can log back in later, but it doesn't seem to be automatic.

Ruined Temple, here I come! Eventually

Completed mine now the Deadzone options have been added. Happy to see he split the Display frame and Display board into separate options so the display board is only $45 without the frame - I can live without the frame.

Closing date is 1st of October - payment for extras is by credit card only no Paypal option that I could see - card is not charged until the pledge manager has closed.

The Definitive Guide To Tablescales Tiles... So Far
Update #74 · Aug 23, 2013 · 19 comments

As I started putting this update together with all of the images in it, I realized it would be far too cumbersome to be useful. There are a LOT of images, and a lot of information that should be shared. So here it is, in link format.

Please let me know if I missed anything, and I'll get it into the comments of this thread.

Anticipated Delivery Dates

October - Scrap Yard

December - Urban Streets

February - Rolling Fields

April - Ruined Temple
Display Board Frame

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1084069684/tablescapes-by-secret-weapon-miniatures/posts/566560
NOTE: The Display Board pledge level includes a frame AT NO ADDITIONAL COST

Display Board Contents

NOTE: We are still finalizing the contents for the display boards, and finished artwork is not available for those yet. Only "Urban Streets" and "Scrap Yard" have been tentatively finalized and those are:

Scrap Yard: Hill - Flat - Flat - Emplacement

Urban Streets (either option): 2x Straight Road - 2x Foundation (1/ea)

We are not able to work on the Display Board contents until we have the renders, and cannot finalize them until we have the physical pieces to ensure universal packaging.

MrJ has also adjusted that dates that the tile sets will be released. Urban tiles are now due in December. A rather nice birthday/christmas pressie for myself then it seems.

I bit the bullet, and got my urban table and then bit a further bullet and got a 4x4 ruined temple for Malifaux. Because reasons.

No matter how flimsy, it's important to have a rationalization for our purchases, eh?

Yeah, I forgot about that, I had to remove an item from my list of add-ons.

Will the bases and pigments ship as soon as 100% of the pledge managers are filled?

RENDERS: Urban Streets - Damaged - Final
Update #76 · Sep 17, 2013 · 6 comments

Hey. Hey! HEY! We have renders for the Urban Streets - Damaged tiles, and I couldn't be happier today!

X Road (a)
2x Straight Roads (b/c)
T Road (d)
2x Foundations (e/f)
2x Rubble Piles (g/h)

The 16 tile, all damaged set will break down as follows:

2 x X Road
4 x Straight Road
2 x T Road
6 x Foundations
2 x Rubble Piles


This is the same breakdown as the Urban Streets - Clean set, but the lift gate and security checkpoint are replaced by the rubble piles. But enough talking! Let's get to those renders!!!!

NOTE: File names on the renders do not match the final file names. They are presented in the correct order.

A

B

C

D

E

F

G

H


These files are being transferred for final clean-up today, and should be to the factory next week. I'm expecting an update from Wargames Factory in the next week on our overall project status, and I'll get that posted as soon as I have it.

And that's two tables finished -- and only two to go! At this point the design work is ahead of schedule. Let me repeat that... in big, bold letters...
The 3D work is ahead of schedule!

Seriously, I couldn't be happier with the team of folks I'm working with. The quality of the design work is fantastic, and they're keeping ahead of what was a really, really tight schedule. GO TEAM!

More as I have it....



Hmm dems some sexy rubble piles. Could do with a few more of them maybe...

They look good! The "ruined" versions have so much more detail / are more interesting than they could ever be if left pristine, I think.
