June 17, 2020 by brennon
Dwarven Forge has been showing off some teasers of their next big Kickstarter campaign. A bunch of awesome new tiles for your dungeon delving and roleplaying are on the way with their Wildlands designs.

Here is the rundown of what you have to look forward to with this upcoming campaign...
"Noxious swamp quagmire, Jagged mountain passes, Eerie forest trails, Countless terrors and lethal challenges lurk within these untamed wilds. Will you survive long enough to discover the ancient magic secrets they hide?"
The terrain from Dwarven Forge has always been on the more expensive side but you can't deny just how fantastic it looks. If you're trying to create an absolutely amazing tabletop for your dungeon delving adventures then these folks know how to make it look the bee's knees.
The wild and twisted trees, rocky outcrops, ravenous plantlife and watery swamps are all something I am keen to see in more detail. I know for sure that if I had the money to do it, I'd be spending it on stuff like this for a permanent set-up!
What do you think of the Dwarven Forge range?

Dwarven Forge Terrain… the only terrain that makes GW terrain look cheap by comparison.
Tabletop World: “hold my beer” 😉
They are expensive, for sure. But Dwarven Forge is still more expensive, at least all the newer sets are.
Pricier than Tabletop World. Crikey.
$50 dollars for what amounts too a single story hut that is 4 inches by 4 inches, with a roof.
$127 dollars for starter sets with enough tiles to cover 8 inches by 12 inches.
On top of that, huge shipping fees. It adds up very fast.
Sure, Tabletop World is expensive. But you usually are only buying one piece as a center piece thing for a table. Maybe two.
Dwarven forge tends to add up very fast.
Let’s us look at a few things. Tabletop World – Cottage – 28.50€ ($32.05) Size = 9 × 13 × 11 cm (3.5 x 5.1 x 4.3 in) Dwarven Forge – Classic Dungeon Remastered Core Set – **Painted** – 88.02€ ($99) Size = 20.32 x 40.64 cm (8 x 16 in) There is a Netflix Documentary, unsure if it is still available, about Dwarven Forge. Everything they make is done by hand. They sculpt by hand, they mold by hand and they do their own painting. Nothing is mass produced in China. The Tabletop World Team is also the same.… Read more »
What has this got to with anything? The above discussion was about pricing, not quality. Honestly, who cares how much hand craftmanship goes into something or how high quality it is… if you can not afford to buy it at a reasonable cost. Especially given the nature of the dungeon tile system, which is marketed towards multiple purchases for variation and different builds. Tabletop World is more along the lines of picking up one or two center pieces for your tables, so fills the niche market well. Dwarven Forge does not, as it is more of a system of tiles… Read more »
> 3D items Wonder how soon we’ll get until 3D printing is as good or close enough to terrain and miniatures. Hero Forge has shown that many players will want custom miniatures that are not available on the market. > For Tabletop Wargaming or casual gaming, these high quality pieces may not have value. I got the impression that DF collectors (or at least some of their customers) use the pieces for dioramas. Some will only buy painted miniatures (eg. Tiny Furniture). That’s definitely not just a niche market, but one that’s willing to spend a lot of money for… Read more »
they do make some fabulous scenery.
I love their stuff and own a lot of it but I had to stop a couple of kickstarters ago – I really wish I had that castle though. I have used the City Builder in my Rangers of Shadow Deep campaign (Lothar’s Expendables) and it looks great. What I love is the configurability and flexibility, plus the cleverness of their design. Gotta love a magnetic dragons head that sticks to the wall of your inn, next to the tankards! I’ am a selective collector of it now though, the shipping is the killer now they no longer have a… Read more »
