How long have you been waiting to create Space Hulk boards in plastic...
To Damn LONG!
Creative Gamescapes may well have come to our rescue with their brand new Spaceship X plastic terrain sets.
They told us...
Creative Gamescapes™ announces the launch of a new 3-D terrain set for Molding Enthusiasts called Spaceship X, now available for pre-order direct from www.creativegamescapes.com. The new line starts at $34.99 and will be shipped starting Feb. 21.
Spaceship X includes ship-to-ship terrain that can be used for both 15mm and 28mm scale tabletop gaming. The modular design allows a broad range of board configurations maximizing replayability for both measurement and tile-based game systems. The design possibilities are endless. The set is made from high-quality ABS plastic, making it more durable than paper, wood, resin or cardboard sets and more affordable than resin.
The Spaceship X basic tile set includes a wide selection of room, corridor and intersection pieces, removable doors and fully reversible walls designed with gameplay in mind. Each set contains four sprues measuring 11 inches by 12 inches and weighs 1.5 pounds.
In addition to simulating a spaceship environment, the set also can be used as an industrial or manufacturing complex, bio research facility, apocalyptic landscape or other futuristic environment.
Expansion sets, including additional room configurations, a vertical construction sprue and an expanded array of floor designs, are also being developed.
General specifications: Each square measures 44.45mm x 44.45mm and board section is 12.7mm tall. The overall wall height is 31.75mm from the tabletop and the assembled wall height from the top of the board section is 19.05mm. When assembled, the board sections easily accommodate most 20mm, 25mm and 40mm size bases. Detailed parts list can be found on www.creativegamescapes.com.
Package deals for purchases of eight and 12 sets are also available
I cannot wait to get my hands on this stuff, being plastic the versatility could be immense!
Stay tuned to see if we can get access to some for an Unboxing...

Ohh… very nifty, Always fun spacehulks are. Run around cramped corridors shooting wildly at blips and genestealers. And all the other possibility too! Good find Warren.
Ah ! Sweet mystery of life / At last I have found thee…
You were right, Warren… I was waiting for that since the first french edition of Space Hulk !
I’m thinking these would look great sunk into pink foam to create a trench system or with a bit of work and the right supports raised up to create a gantry and maybe even stack a couple of the 3×3 sections to build a watch/guard/control tower.
It’s kinda hard to make out in the top down view, but if you look on their website, the walls only go up to about waist height on a 28mm model… Mmmmm Not sure..
But for using as parts for a 40k terrain piece, could be really cool. Good value too.
Hey Warren – is there another in the UK going to be bringing this in or we will need to go direct to the US?
We’re looking into that at the moment, will report back if and when we get news!
Maybe BoW should move into distribution …. 😀
Alternatively on some (non-gaming) forums I use the members get together for a group buy where a discount for a bulk purchase is negotiated with a supplier ….. anyone got the gift of the gab 🙂
Not a bad idea.
But looking at the larger deals, I don’t think there is much in the way of price scaling or wholesale ordering.
Very nice, if my copy of Space Hulk ever saw the light of day on a regular basis I’d be their buying some of this, but unfortunately it doesn’t so I’m unlikely too in immediate future. Good to know it’s their though, hope it works out for them.
Hey all,
I have seen this stuff in person, its being made in here Kansas City by some local guys. It is beautiful. Looks rather sturdy and rugged. I can’t wait to get my hands on it too.
Incursion board?… looks like it would work..
These look great and so happy to have a up and coming hobby company doing something to fill a needed niche… and it’s a plus that the are somewhat local…
Meh! could scratchbuild it *ahem*
Looks ace tbh and could also be used for Necromunda.
Would make life much easier for terrain building if you have the tin.
Hope it goes well and we see more such goodies.
ps have heard from other sources that the fit is good and the plastic very sturdy.
Nice Thing. Me could do a lot of that. 🙂
wondering how many sets are needed to build all the missions in the basic space hulk game???????
Minimum would be 6 or 7 I think and at that you’d have to do a bit of work to get the larger rooms by glueing on 3 square corridors to the end.
If they’re smart they’ll put out a discount “space derelict game” set with what you need…
ok, thats the Dreadnought Deal, for 244.93 thats 8 basic sets, the price of seven sets with one set thrown in for free. good to know. think ill piece meal the sets one at a time. due to the budgie.
I dont even have space hulk but I want one of these sets just to use for some industrial basing.
I really liked this so pre-ordered a set to evaluate. Shipping is 15$ within the us. That was a shock, I still can’t wait to get them painted up.
i feel this may become part of my infinity board!!
Hey so my set showed up today, and with the exception of one room the set went together really smoothly. I’m no longer worried about shipping cost, the box was packed. I can’t wait for the next sets. I hope they expand to do more sets in different areas, like necromunda… That would rock.
