Create A Sci-Fi Outpost With Modular Terrain From The HAB Block KS
May 17, 2016 by deltagamegirl22
Mad Gaming Terrain has created a fantastic, modular system for 28mm Sci-Fi, MDF buildings, the HAB Block.
The HAB Block is live on Kickstarter right now and provides a massive amount of terrain options to create loads of interesting sci fi tables, and it's modularity offers you variety as well as options to constantly change things up.
This set offers some really nice features within a relatively simple shaped structure. The terrain is built for gaming both in and out with a lot of thought having gone into the placement of the details like doors, windows, hatches and ladders.
If there's a place for a ladder to go up in a room, there's a hatch above - this seems like such a simple detail, but how often have we seen add on bits that we can place just for the sake of adding something?
Then there's the magnets. These sets offer small magnets to go into sections of each HAB Block.
These can allow you to easily link Blocks and place walkways to form continuous patterns of buildings. It's the little things like this that can really set terrain apart from the rest.
What do you think of these clever HAB Blocks?

Damn they look good
This actually looks like a good product. However they really need to work on their videos because they are just horrid, they show off a great product in the worst ways possible. I am kind of considering backing it but they really need to improve their clarity.
Agreed the video is pretty awful. What took 15 mins could have easily been done in 60 seconds with still images and text.
I have backed it though as the actual terrain itself looks great.
I don’t support KS’s anymore, but this one is really tempting.
Looks good but their first stretch goal is at 25k, seems a little high as an initial goal.
You’re not wrong there. I just assumed there won’t be any reached and pledged based on the base pledge. If any do get reached it’s a happy little extra.
I wondered if it’s a typo and meant to be 2.5k and so on and they’ve missed out the dot?
I think that may be a little optimistic 😛
Goals at 5k, 7.5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, and 30k would have been more around the right mark I think.
This is from the guy who owns and runs my local store. We’ve been “playtesting” them for a few months now 🙂
I think I may actually do a video for him about presentation. Because he has a great product it is just… he really need to improve those videos and the kickstarter itself.
looks great reminds me of the outpost in ghosts of mars.
They do look nice.
