It's not yet another pig-in-a-bag-founding project… After almost a year of development, the Assault Publishing SF modular base system is ready. We spent a lot of time to perfect all its details. The long work resulted in a fine, mature product, which is at the same time playable, cool-looking and affordable.


Modular and stable
Our laser cut bases are very flexible: all modules fit each other thanks to our Plug'n'Slay system based on blast doors. Blast doors act as the connectors which link the modules – you just need to plug the modules into the doors! Apart from the simplicity, this solution makes the entire construction very stable and prevents any accidents that might damage miniatures inside the base. The carefully calculated dimensions allow you to make huge constructions covering the entire table, which can be freely rearranged! And that's not all – you can add a second floor to your base, considerably increasing your gaming space and looking even cooler!


After finishing the game, you can stack you corridors and put them in a box to save space and transport them safely.


Extremely customizable
When ordering your base, you can select one of the 3 main styles: Aliens-inspired mid-tech, simple and ascetically elegant hi-tech, and dark, ornate neo-gothic. For all styles you can pick whichever internal supports and blast door pattern you like. Of course, all styles are compatible with each other, allowing you to make your base even more interesting (e.g. by mixing stockpile rooms in mid-tech style, laboratories in hi-tech, and a chapel in neo-gothic). In some cases, you can even swap parts between the modules.


Scale- and game- independent
Although at the beginning our modular bases were intended for 15/20mm scale, we quickly realised that they make perfect claustrophobic corridors for 28/32mm skirmishes (the internal dimensions of the corridor are ~ 40 x 40 mm). Whether you wish to capture an underground asteroid factory in an epic, bloody assault, infiltrate the laboratory of an evil mastermind, or hunt an alien creature in narrow corridors, the modular system will be the best solution for you!
Additionally, as wargamers and modellers, we made sure that our laser-cut bases are very easy to assemble and paint using simple methods such sprays, air-brushes, or washes.


Expansible
At the moment, we have 10 main modules in 3 styles, as well as 10 types of blast doors and auxiliary articles such as supports. However, we designed our system to be as expansible as possible, so you can expect new modules and upgrade packs to enlarge your collection, make your base even more impressive, and allow you to play cooler games! You can always order them later and add to the existing complex.


How to order?
Our laser cut modular bases can be ordered through the Assault Publishing on-line store, and we will prepare them just the way you want them. Please note that the time of preparation is up to 30 days.

About time these made it into production! evil grin

Have you posted this announcement over on the Data-Sphere ( data-sphere.net )? The Infinity crowd would definitely be interested.

Really nice…just wish the corridors were a couple of cm wider – you'd pull in tons more 28mm gamers that way.

This ones are enought: they are 4cm wide – perfect for Infinity, but 32mm Warzone and 40k minis fits also. The wider would make the 15/20mm minis look bad inside.
