The tiles are looking awesome! While I decided not to back the ks I am still eagerly awaiting the time when they hit retail. I gotta have me them ruined temple ones.

Progress is also coming along much faster than I had expected. Kudos to SW for keeping up with all the work they have ended up with.

**SRSFACE**

Anyone know how much these will be going for retail? I hadn't heard about this kickstarter til just now and it looks great. I like it a lot better than the Realms of Battle game boards from GW and I bet these are significantly more affordable once they hit full retail.

Glad to see Secret Weapon stepping up their game from just bases. Their stuff was always really good, so it's cool to see them expand.

**Snrub**

Cannot wait to get my board. Gonna be so stoked.

SRS, A single full tablescape board in the KS was $190. It's probably a fair assumption to guess at full retail they'll be anywhere between $200-250. You'd have to ask Mr. Justin to be sure though.

Super-happy with the Deadzone board, really glad I got in on this. Looks like I'll be one of the first to have a board shipped since I only ordered a DZ board?

There will be many pics, much reviews when it arrives in March.

I think I'll be getting involved in a future KS for more of these in a big way, I really really want a nice desert board and 2D vinyl/rubber just doesn't quite cut it compared to a proper 3d surface painted to match the terrain and minis. It would be really cool if there was a dried up riverbed or something, or an oasis tile that you could add water effects to.

And a proper sand dune texture rather than just grit would be perfect, kinda like this:

**nerdfest09**

Wow the pics of the board sections are amazing! I am eagerly awaiting these to buy as soon as they become available! (any eta as yet?) simply an excellent design and execution!

**Mathieu Raymond**

There were 2 backers only update. Logistics, nothing too exciting, but the shipping date seems to be holding true.

**kronk**

Can't wait for mine!

**Aerethan**

I'm just glad Rolling Fields will be shipping well before I move in June. They'll arrive just in time to sit in a box and await a new hobby room!!!

**Snrub**

I'd just like to throw out a word of warning to every one who backed.

Make sure that the questions have answers. One of my questions had been "deleted" somehow.

It looked something like this.

1. Which theme would you like shipped?
Urban Streets - Damaged
2. Which 8 tile expansion set would you like?
This answer has been deleted. Please re-answer.

I'm not sure how it happened. But I'm glad I saw it. So i'd advise everyone to go back and check theirs just in case it's happened to them too!

**Mathieu Raymond**

Hmmm... ok.

My address was correct the first time and I am not about to move (I even received my add-ons there) so would you still recommend I check?

There seemed to be a high number of people who had not completed their survey, too.

**Snrub**

I'd say it's worth checking. Better safe then sorry eh?
My address was still correct, nothing had changed there. It was only by chance that I happened to look at what I had answered for the questions and saw the answer had been deleted.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Everything was complete. I just kept having a nagging feeling in that there was no big "CONFIRM" button anywhere.

**DaveC**

quick update there will be one with an unboxing of Urban streets later today

Project Update #101: Rolling Fields - Wall Renders
Posted by Secret Weapon ♥ Like

Raffa is working furiously to get the 3D work finished for the Ruined Temple walls now - and sent me this render (yes, it's a render) of the Rolling Fields walls. <3

The Ruined Temple walls will be very similar -- but with smooth, dressed stone in place of the rough cut pieces you see here.

And I'll be unboxing the test shots for Urban Streets today, so stay tuned for another update....

Urban Test Shots - PHOTO TIME!
6 comments

I received 11/16 of the Urban Streets test shots for review -- and I have some good news, some bad news, and some great news. But they say that a picture is worth 1,000 words, so...

Six of the tiles, my Corporation squad, and two GW vehicles pulled from my display cabinet (vehicle models copyright Games Workshop, used without permission - infantry models copyright Mantic Games, used with permission, of course). I don't have any connectors though, so they're all just sitting loose.

The detail is just fantastic, and this set really takes advantage of the height variance we can get.

Did I say fantastic? I meant amazing!

And here is a Leman Russ and Chimera rolling along, just taking in the view. Even the Commissar looks impressed!

So what about the bad news?

The bad news is that they made the foundation tiles street height - and they should be sidewalk height. That's a difference of 6mm!

OH NOES!

Which is why I also said that there was great news...

The great news is that I've already talked to the factory, and this is a simple fix. They're already at work changing the tiles and I'm told that it should not impact the shipping schedule.

And the detail on the foundation tiles is... stunning.

And there's more good news!

The factory also said that they'd have new samples out for me at the top of next week, along with a surprise!

Stay tuned....

EDIT: fixed a broken image.

**Enigma Crisis**

EDIT: Ninja'd

**plastictrees**

Getting more and more excited for this now.
Still not 100% sure whether I ordered ruined urban or clean, maybe I should stop checking my pledge on my phone.

**DeadMutagen94**

why is it all the cool stuff is on kickstarter when I have no money? :(

this kickstarter actually ended a while ago, its just really late in delivering any product

**DarkTraveler777**

Those Urban Streets look quite catching. I just picked up a load of the new Battlefield in a Box Gothic terrain and it looks like it will fit perfectly on these tiles.

Hurry up and get here, April! I wants my tiles!!!

Tiny update this time

Rolling Fields Walls - Masters

The wall masters arrived today. They will go into molds this week, get cleaned up and detailed next week, and then go into production molds.

PROGRESS!

Raffa did an incredible job with these, and he's hard at work on the Ruined Temple set. We're down to the wire but it's all coming together nicely.

More updates this week as I get more test shots from the factory.

**Snrub**

Hmm... Anyone else starting to regret not getting the rolling fields? I know I sure am!

Rolling Fields - PAINT IN PROGRESS

I'll have some unboxing photos to share later, but since I made a good deal of progress on the first four tiles today I thought I'd share those pictures first.

Look at the detail. LOOK AT IT! It is fantastic. Of course it turns out that there are a lot of rocks to paint... but I can't wait for the varnish to dry so I can add some pigments and Realistic Water.

The factory only sent me the corner creek tile - but I picked from the other tiles so give you a look at a plain one, the rock pile, and one with some nice height variation.

Although these are painted in very different colors, I wanted to make sure folks got to see Scrap Yard matched with Rolling Fields. Even with the color clash you can see how the textures work together. This dirt pattern is universal to the tiles (where dirt is present) and allows for easy mix-and-match combinations.

I haven't gone through everything in the box as my priority is getting painted tiles for the box art. I'll have some great new sample pics for you though!

Stay tuned....

That creek bed is really spiff looking. Throw in some water effects and it'd look magnificent.

That's why I asked Justin to swap one of my urban ones

It looks ace!

**Redemption**

Really curious to see how they'll look with the water effects, and how they would line up with GW's Realm of Battle. Would be very nice to add some streets and river options to my gaming table.

**H.B.M.C.**

The damaged urban looks good. Still glad I got the untouched.

I'm glad I got both so I can combine the damaged urban and the clean urban. I eventually might buy the Rolling Fields and combine it with the Temple Ruins to use for Infinity and Warmahordes.

**Cave_Dweller**

These are definitely cool, although many of the features tend to be centered. Some more asymmetry would be good.

These would make great display boards/dioramas for a small army or squad.

**Necros**

Really looking forward to getting my rolling fields now

I think I may have to grab a few scrapyard tiles to mix in too

I can't find where to do this. Where do I go? I am looking at the SW KS page.
