Versatile Fantasy/Steampunk Terrain Kickstarter Live From Cracked Earth Studios
June 19, 2015 by deltagamegirl22
If you followed the Adepticon coverage this year, you should remember seeing the amazing terrain from Cracked Earth Studios.
It was GORGEOUS - and like a moth to the flame, I was drawn to it in the rooms where it was in use. It set the scene perfectly, whether it was Warmachine or Malifaux and I knew we were going to have to watch for this project to go up on Kickstarter. I'm very happy to say, that moment has finally arrived! This is Cracked Earth Studios Miniature Tabletop Gaming Terrain.
Cracked Earth Studios is proud to announce that their project is live and ready to dress your tables in stunning 25-35mm fantasy/steampunk terrain! The mastermind behind this amazing project is Jace Gostisha, who is not only an experienced product developer and masterful painter, but perhaps more importantly- a life-long gamer.
Jace knows full well that by nature, we gamers often suffer from shiny syndrome (myself included), which we end up collecting numerous different games that invariably all require different terrain to be able to play.
What if you had the ability to change up the look of your terrain without having to completely dismantle, kit-bash or repaint it? That is the million dollar question and Cracked Earth Studios has found a perfect solution with their ingenious peg system. This peg system allows gamers to tailor the look of their terrain to whichever game they are playing by having key elements available on pegs.
This project features a line of fantasy terrain with steampunk accessories. Want to play Kings of War? Play it as is. Want to play Warmachine or Malifaux? Add the steampunk features and off you go! It's that easy. And if the clever peg system isn't enough, I haven't even told you the best part- this beautiful, resin terrain comes lovingly, and skillfully pre-painted.
So when your package arrives, you open it, place it on your table, and you play your game. No muss, no fuss. Hooray for instant gratification!
To start, this project is offering two pieces, the Magefate Tower and the Nomad's Inn & Tavern - and by what we saw at Adepticon, there's more where that came from! Speaking of that, did you notice the trees? They are in the stretch goals along with all sorts of additional extras- including more buildings! Head on over to the Kickstarter to see for yourself!
Will you be adding this stunning, versatile terrain to your tables?

Another US-based project that’s less than forthcoming about shipping. No thanks
If we in North America have Crack Earth Studio, and you, in Europe, have Tabletop World, I daresay you’re better off!
This is the reason that I don’t bother with Kickstarter anymore. Videogames aside, where the content is delivered digitally anyway, the entire system is pretty useless for the most part if you live outside the u.s due to the added costs incurred through (eye watering) delivery charges and V.A.T.
Not necessarily Kickstarter or the project creators fault but it is what it is.
I’ll spend my hard earned elsewhere.
if they ever hit retail over here i’d be interested but for the cost of the shipping and the likes it’d probably be easier to go for the foreground stuff and comission some weathering on that to blend it to a table.
I like the inn and the mill, but not $80 worth of like plus P&P not saying its bad value just beyond what I would pay for it (Mind you I am tight with terrain particularly if I think with time and effort I could make it)
nice the tower would be good for wizards to?
Must admit i like the look of the stuff but shipping it fully assembled from the US is going to cost a bit to ship unfortunately this tends to push it out of the reach of most none us backers.
I’d be tempted if there was a cheaper unpainted option…
Look great, but way out of my price range. Best of luck to them though.
Too bad that the company running payments to US via KS does not like my bank. I would order some of their stuff.
