T.J.H. Models Bring the Magic of Magnets to MDF Terrain
April 30, 2013 by dracs
A new kickstarter has been set up by T.J.H. Models for a new range of MDF modular terrain, which will be fully magnetised to help you build some awesome terrain pieces for your games.
The terrain in question looks to be high quality, lazer cut pieces. Once assembled into their various segments, magnets allow for them to be attached and removed easily, allowing you to quickly set up cool terrain pieces which can be disassembled easily for storage.
So far T.J.H. have created two sets, both with a nicely detailed sci-fi style to them.
First we have a set of corridors and rooms.
These are absolutely perfect for some atmospheric and claustrophobic sci-fi board gaming, not thinking of any game in particular space hulk.
The fact that they can be reassembled easily will mean you can have a constantly evolving environment to explore, whatever game you are playing.
Also brought to life by this kickstarter is a particularly cool set of walkways.
All in all I am rather impressed by the quality of products being shown here. Magnetising the terrain is a great idea, which should make setting up a gaming table a lot easier and quicker.
The products are perfect for all manner of sci-fi games and scenarios and I can only hope that, with the help of kickstarter, we can see this terrain start to branch out.
Looks like some well produced kit. Just needs skulls.
Looks awesome imho. It would be a royal pain in the a$$ to paint all that MDF, but it would be worth it in the long run I think.
@DeadDave,
If you request more skulls again, I will make you live up to your name, hehe. 🙂
Some grey primer and they’re 90% done 🙂
On a side note is that Tony who used to look after GW’s mould archive in the 90s?
Yeah I get that, hehe. But MDF swallows up the paint unless sealed correctly. 🙁 Then to get it to look it’s best, you want to pick out the details.
Any tips? I’m planning to take an aerosol to some Sarissa MDF whenever I get the combination of free time and good weather.
yes it is i from the dim & distance past of the mould archive
whos this..?
lol Yeah deaddave’s skull will be the bloomin’ centrepiece! 😉
@chibi I’ll be bringing all the skulls. I’m not picky where they come from.
Not sure what it is with skulls tbh
Guess it is about trying to put the skull into skulpting
I hope they do well, but I have some doubts. I took a look at the kickstarter page and you need a decoder ring to decipher what the pledge levels are.
hi dais
i hope ive cleaned up the pledges
Whats with all the skull haters? Anyone wants a shot at my skull ill be at the grumpy old war gamers con.
If it was the occasional skull thrown into the pot now and again, it would be fine.
But GW encrust every inch of their wares with Skullz tm
It is past a cliche and into the realms of excruciating tedium.
From Cheesy Product Design For Dummies:
Do you lack imagination or just plain can’t be arsed to think of an inspiring symbol to adorn your products? Fear not, just slap on a skull!
Thats a good looking kit. Wish I had the cash for the entire set.
Looks like an outstanding product, but a very poor kickstarter site. I hope it’s a successful kickstarter, but I have doubt.
This stuff looks good. I like the use of magnets.
I have been working on a similar set for myself without magnets that stacks.
