Saw this today and thought some people might find it interesting though it's not really my cup of tea. It's kind of a different take of pop-up terrain using a sturdier stock/material and magnets. I've never heard of the company before but they've got a website with lots of different markers and bases so have done manufacturing before.
If they can make a cardboard sleeve to go over the carrying box to make it into another piece of terrain (one big solid building), that would be a neat option.

100g is really not a lot of support. They said its the equivalent of 2 metal hive tyrants but... thats not true, OR they are talking about a different mini than the one I'm thinking of or my food scale is broken, because the metal hive tyrant I just weighed was almost 100g on its own. Likewise, 10 metal 28mm ww2 minis will top out a bit over 100gs as well. This will be fine for plastic minis, but id be hesitant about anything metal.
Also, the terrain is clearly designed to use existing ITC standards, but I think the days of that standard is numbered and these will be useless to competitive gamers in the not too distant future. I expect the GW/ITC partnership may bring some agreed to changes in terrain setup to major ITC events, and if it doesn't then the fact that GW is running the "Warhammer Final" which will be the new top-level competitive event for the game globally means that GW will follow its own terrain standards (which are different from the ITC there). Players will, in short order, demand ITC supermajors adopt those standards so they can "practice like they play", which will in turn roll down to majors and locals.

Saw this at LVO. It’s legitimately really cool stuff. I’m backing because it’s a seriously good idea.
The graphics looks really good, and the magnets holding everything up are pretty strong. That said, they had a version of it with Velcro instead of magnets that would hold more weight if you’re worried about the weight limit. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t bother. It seems more than sturdy enough for plastic and resin models.
not the first one around but how they added the floors is new
most interesting will be how they compare to the Upzone folding terrain, with the main difference is that this is aimed at current 40k tournament standards and Upzone aims for more thematic tables, and the 4Ground folding MDF terrain, which aims for historical settings
