Venture Into The Ruined City With Sarissa Precision’s New Bundle
August 10, 2020 by brennon
Sarissa Precision has put together a new bundle of terrain which is steadily going to grow over the next few months. The Ruined City (Chapter One) is designed to be a quick way for you get a bunch of wargaming terrain that might inspire you to play out scenarios on the tabletop.
The Ruined City (Chapter One) // Sarissa Precision
These modular terrain pieces are a mix up between different kits from the Sarissa collection, mounted on their Terrain Tile System so that you can slide them together in all manner of different ways. The idea is that you'll pick this up and then come up with a scenario for one of your Fantasy games that matches it.
Perhaps with this set, you could have your adventurers walking into the frozen ruins of Felstad or exploring a beleaguered bastion in the Shadow Deep. This represents the gatehouse to either location where your heroes have to find out what happened to the guards stationed here and how you might then venture forth deeper into the city/fort.
The Ruined City (Chapter One) // Sarissa Precision
This initial set comes with the Low Walls, Wrecked Gate Section, High Corner Window, High Corner Doorway and High-To-Low Link Wall Set from the Sarissa range which you can, of course, tinker with as you see fit.
The terrain here would be a great fit for the likes of Frostgrave II which is coming soon but you could also use it for the aforementioned Rangers Of Shadow Deep, Oathmark, Warlords Of Erehwon, Dungeons & Dragons, Kings Of War or maybe even Burrows & Badgers. It is system-agnostic so it should work with any Fantasy wargame.
What do you think of this idea of creating packs which focus you in on trying to come up with a scenario to match them?

Looks nice… would make for a great backdrop for showing off minis on your shelves.
Ooh great looking terrain for gaming like osgiliath or Stalingrad to name city’s I can think of at the moment.
Osgiliath is a great comparison, I can picture that landing craft full of Orcs pulling up against the gateway as in the movie ?
I find the Sarissa website very deceptive. Pretty much every product is show assembled and professionally painted, with a small line of text that says “Supplied unassembled and unpainted in kit form with full instructions.”
By all means show me what it looks like assembled and painted, but also prominently show me it Unpainted!
Odd to single out Sarissa. Lots of companies do the same. Do you expect minis to come painted from GW? Privateer? Warlord?
I think you’ve misread the comment. It more pointing out that the Sarissa website doesn’t show the unpainted kits. It isn’t expecting them to come ready painted, more wanting to see them in their raw form.
I think deceptive is a strong word to use for a site showing painted models. The description also includes the text “Supplied unassembled and unpainted in kit form with full instructions.”.
And yet not one single photo on that page shows the unpainted version. That, to me, seems deceptive.
The page literally says it’s unassembled and unpainted. Who is being deceived?
Have to agree with @somegeezer sorry @tankkommander, Sarissa would be selling themselves short by not uploading eye catching images. However got you covered on the unpainted version. If you follow the link below you’ll find a short video from Sarissa for this set that shows a render of the MDF model that gives an idea how the sections would go together as well as measurements. Hope it helps ?
