I have just finished a batch of large terrain features.
These items are probably my best selling products around the shows in the UK.
They also proved to be very popular at Crisis in Belguim last year.
Some of these items can be as large as 4ft long and 2ft wide.
So a simple question do you like having some sort of main terrain feature in your games, that simply blow everything else away, and how big would you go. Take a look at these.

I don't mind about size, I use what is suitable for the game table,genre etc. I want someone to do some sci-fi buildings, 28mm and not bleeping gothic style. Those I'd buy – oh, and they don'tall have to be ruins! |

I like my terrain to be about a 28D, but it's not really the size it's how you use them! |

Dang. James beat me to the double entendre. :) |

Depends on scenario. Depends (less) on scale. What is a dominant hill for 25 mm size troops is a mountain line for 6 mm units. Depends (more than scale, less than scenario) on table size. I have used 4' x 4' thru 8' x 6' tables. I'd buy one, maybe two at most, depending on how it fits the rest of my terrain. Gracias, Glenn |

I'm certainly interested, but there's been one thing that has impeded the purchase of your terrain pieces for me personally… Due to the grass flocking the hills/etc… are only really usable on a grass mat. Bare/relatively bare rock formations are easier to use on any type of mat/board. |

@alien surfur, yeah me too.JR miniature terrain do some nice stuff.but I wish their 6mm future buildings were available in 28mm(not ruins). some 28mm colony/outpost prefabs would be nice. |

Astranagant Keep an eye on the site, as I have some new variations of the hills which will be available soon.
With out the green flock.
Once I finalise the colours, all the terrain will be able to be ordered in any of the styles. Mike |

It really depends on the game I'm playing. I'd love to have a 28mm cubicle farm available, with enough expandability to potentially cover an entire 4x4 table. Just the thing to game a hostage rescue (or taking them in the first place!) The buildings I'd use are generally not more than 12" square (28mm scale again). For smaller scales, I'd love to have flatter hills than the current 1" step versions, but I am willing to make those myself. |
