Can anyone recommend a good, high quality 28mm trench system for 28mm WWI games?

ccmatty28 Nov 2008 11:29 p.m. PST

Has anyone seen or used the Pegasus system?

Hastati29 Nov 2008 3:19 a.m. PST

Try the ones by armorcast (US based) and ironclad games (UK based). Oh, and there is one by Ziterdes (Germany).

Amera has some vac-formed trench sections, they are cheap but look nice with a little work.

Make your own from foam insulation boards. Only way to get down into the surface.

What system are you using it for?

ccmatty29 Nov 2008 1:14 p.m. PST

Warlord

I am thinking about Great War.

Grand Manner has a beautiful trench set. expensive but worth every penny.
It's in his WWII section and he has also some separate bunkers and such in the WWI range.

Most of the ones I have seen including Ironclad and Grand Manner aren't deep enough, At least the Ironclad one is truly modular and you can make really long trenches but it seems a bit small for real 28mm figures..

von Paulus29 Nov 2008 5:37 p.m. PST

I second the foam insulation boards in addition to making your own bunkers out of herculite II. Can't beat building it and designing it yourself!

WillieB29 Nov 2008 5:38 p.m. PST

That's right! I completely forgot about Ironclad!

I have the Pegasus trenches and they are hands down the best. ;)

ccmatty29 Nov 2008 11:07 p.m. PST

The Pegasus trenches look awesome. I wish they weren't prepainted, but apparently that is the only way to get them…

shelldrake29 Nov 2008 11:21 p.m. PST

I am building my own – cuts down on the $, plus i am having a lot of fun doing so.

coldm223130 Nov 2008 2:02 a.m. PST

Grand Manner are meant to be producing a WW1 trench system, similar to their existing WW2 one, they already have a few bits and pieces on their web site

Why not use the ones from Acheson Designs? They have really nice resin trench sections. And you can set them up in avariety of ways, because they are basically modular.

legatushedlius30 Nov 2008 9:59 a.m. PST

Who makes the Pegasus trenches? Can't see them in the manufacturers list on TMP.

ccmatty30 Nov 2008 10:16 p.m. PST

Pegasus Models – they are carried in the US by Michigan Toy. Pegasus also makes outstanding buildings for 40k…

After a flick through Wargames Soldiers and Strategy in WH Smith I noticed some ready made trenches that slot into foam board (or any other cut out). Only thing is, I can't remember the name of the company. I think it began with a T.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Kallistra make a modular-type trench system? They are the ones featured in the ads for Scarab miniatures. They look very nice.

I have several of the Acheson Creations trench pieces. They are wonderful, and Craig is a great guy to talk to.
