GameCraft Miniatures have some terrain to transform your table top to into the Wild West.
These are some really nice building pieces that would be a great setting for any cowboys miniature game.
So what are your thoughts on these pieces? Any of you think you might pick them up for a game of Go Fer Yer Guns?

I don’t think I’ll pick them up for Go Fer Yer Guns, but they’d be perfect for a badlands Malifaux game.
On that note I should ask @sirangry – will you be comparing these to the Sarissa Precision stuff in your blog? No obligation of course, but now I’ve seen these, that makes two laser-cutting companies I know who make this style of scenery, so I’m curious to know how they stack up from someone who knows the Sarissa buildings well.
Yeah, well that makes two of us who are curious!!! lol. Current funding levels dictate though that I am skint!!! Boo hiss. I will take a look though and possibly see if I can perhaps stretch to a single piece, possibly the gallows. No promises mind you because seriously I need to eat at some point this month and although laser cut HDF smells good, it doesn’t taste half as good. 😛
No worries. 🙂 However everything tastes better with Reggae Reggae Sauce…well, maybe that’s pushing it. 😉
Good to see more variety available anyway.
Yeah, my initial concerns are though that they’re purely decorative as pieces having nipped to their website to have a look at how they go together. The second story for instance doesn’t actually exist and adding one wouldn’t be easy at all. So from a usefulness to gaming point of view they’re not as good as the Sarissa Precision stuff which grants you access to all the interior floors.
So just a LOS-blocking footprint then? Shame, though it still looks good enough that I should keep an eye on these guys…
Oh yeah, I’ll be keeping an eye on them too. They have some really nice detailing on these buildings. Just need to think a little bit more about how their buildings funcyion as gaming pieces from what I’ve seen on their site. Not bad though.
make your own! it’s more fun and its heaps cheaper.
You know what I would normally agree with you. However the new breed of HDF laser cut scenery is incredibly sturdy and of a really high quality, and I found that actually some of the stuff out there costs less than the components required to make similar buildings.
Laser cut stuff is probably at the very centre point between cheap quick and good, you might be able to make better looking buildings from balsa wood, coffee stirrers etc, but that will take a good while longer than glueing an hdf kit together, and probably cost as much in materials unless you’re really good at scavenging tiny bits of wood, you can make ’em cheaper from paper craft but it wont be as strong and might even take longer, and you can have ’em quicker by buying a pre-made piece which will cost a lot more and the quality… Read more »
I could get a sheet of MDF for the price of one building and use it to make probably 6-7 buildings so its heaps cheaper. Problem with the laser cut MDF is that it has no depth, the cuts are minimal and they normally provide extra bits for sills and lintels etc. I know some people can’t make terrain but its a hobby all in itself and lots of fun. Good luck to GCM but I don’t like the cutouts use to join pieces together. Would have been better using a internal piece to assist when glueing together. Oh well,… Read more »
The gallows can be a part of a mission theme in almost any game. Stop the hanging mission sounds cool and epic.
I just looked at the line they have and boy are they ever affordable. They go for $7 to $24 in price. Thats not bad at all.
