Spooky Graveyard from Tabletop World
October 11, 2011 by beerogre
Here's a stunning piece of terrain from Tabletop World... the Graveyard!
The town's graveyard was established on an ancient place of worship. Town's well known and vastly rich noble family hired local mason to build them a mausoleum with a depiction of their family coat of arms, right above an ancient sacrificial altar.
Soon after, the rumors began about the graveyard being haunted. The mason who built the mausoleum supposedly got trapped here and lost his mind on being confronted by the restless ghosts.
If that's not enough, here's what Tinracer has to say about it... he's considering this model for his Violet Death project...
This latest addition is up to their amazing standard and comes with all the usual attention to detail, with freshly dug graves, crows and even mushrooms.
It's a big plot too, almost 1 foot square with plenty of script laden tomb stones and a large crypt, big enough for a growing family of ghouls to hang out. It's maybe this size that might make this harder to use on the gaming table. Once all put together, it will reduce the amount of manoeuvre space you have and unlike the GW Gardens of Morr, does not breakdown into individual elements. On the plus side is the fact that the two sets will sit very nicely together, sharing many themes and architectural features.
Coming in at 94 euros, will make it the collectors choice as you could buy a lot of toy soldiers for that, especially with the new Vampire Count army book. hopefully, around the corner. But do I want one - yes.
But what do you think guys?

An other contender for my Xmass pressent this year
I think this is way better than the GW graveyard… But you pay for what you get !
Sure, it’s about three times the price, but it’s ten times the quality.

Agreed. And this graveyard does not have 200 skulls all over it =p.
This has much better atmosphere and design.
Really? I think this one is decidedly empty. The GW could be thought of as too full, but all those buildings are detachable and can be used on other parts of your table. Most of the detail work is similar. I wouldn’t pay 90+ quid for that piece of terrain, while I’ve been wanting to buy the GW one for some time – it would be the first bit of GW terrain I’ve ever bought. As for the amount of skulls, yeah GW seems to go overboard on that all the time :). But hey, you can leave at least… Read more »
They really do make some of the nicest scenery available. Fantastic attention to detail.
Man o man
Me want so much for Fear and Faith
The wall and railings alone is gonna set you back a fair old whack if you try and buy an alternative. Have already looked hard and long for such walling.
If only Jack O’Lantern would leave such treats I would be a very naughty boy from here to Halloween! lol
Obviously invites comparisons with GW’s Garden of Morr…. but I really like it. The one advantage I would give to GW is that the garden is 100% modular. I can use the Garden of Morr in a variety of ways. For instance, I can make half my table edge look like a graveyard by cleverly scattering the pieces around, or I can pull out parts to garrison troops on the Garden. In terms of terrain that I can play with…I think the contest goes to GW. In terms of a quality piece that I can paint up, use as a… Read more »
Looks truly beautiful, but seems a little impractical. I actually think the garden of Morr looks just as good, if a little cramped, and is a loooot cheaper. I’d be terrified to move it too, there’s so many little bits waiting to snap off.
Its great to see our friend Tinracer adding to the gaming world his mark and views. This is one cool centre piece. Hope his Violet Death gets this soon so we can see him paint it up.
These main gripe I have with this terrain piece is the lack of modularity. It looks amazing, but they could have chopped it up to smaller pieces. So in this sence I have to say that GW’s Garden of Morr is a better piece. Top quality lends to particly nothing if the form doesn’t support function.
Would be good for Go Fer Yer Guns this…like the Church in Red Dead Redemption where Seth is digging. Could easily do some shoot out around it.
what scale is this, 28mm, 32mm?
Wow! This is certainly better then the GW one, i think that was way too crowded
