I think having a couple of the sets would allow you to do some amazing games, especially for Napoleonics in my opinion.They look really good and I love the art style.The company that did this did superbly.

Thank you so much for doing a thorough job displaying this option to us all +TheTerrainTutor! For us who may not have the expenses required to make very detailed game mats as beginners (like myself) could certainly use this as a modifiable foundation to build upon over time and to essentially use immediately. You've got yourself a like and a new subscriber, sir! Thanks again! Your promoting this option is a big help (at least to me, hopefully to others as well!).

Brings back memories of making commercial 3 d hex terrain 25 years ago :)

So what to you reckon Terrainiacs, better than a battle mat? Let me know below!

These are very interesting! I'd love to see them with some 3D terrain scattered over the top.

I hope your getting a piece of the pie from terra tiles. I just bought the coastal and woodlands (because of you). I have been struggling to find a water map to play my: Pirates of the Spanish main naval game. Its perfect. thanks again. I'll continue liking and watching your stuff. Two thumbs up.

You're allowed to have your opinion man. Review the product and give your opinions. As long as you explain why, like you did about the river and whether the modularity is necessary, you are set. Good job.

The first thing that came to my mind was that its too bad the boxes dont have carrying handles. The system lends itself so well to transportation. I love the idea of a modular battle mat. With real 3D terrain on top of these they look great. No LOS issues with a woods edge because its printed right on there, regardless of the lichen you throw onto it. I never have cared for modular boards that much, the seam lines are a distraction for me. But unless the camera is lying, these seams are nearly invisible. Nice work!

Just had to add, these would be GREAT for RPGs! DMs are gonna be grabbing this stuff up. But I would encourage them to lay their maps out and then stack the rows in piles before the game starts. That way when it comes time to set them up, you just start laying out each row one pile at a time. Otherwise set-up could really eat into game playing time.

Hi Mel, long time since I looked in. this is a nice idea for portability and good selection of detail...good for novices as well! hope all is well with you! cheers, nice video.

Mel, you had me checking my phone multiple times during this vid xD

I don't even play these games and makes me want to buy them. They look awesome

Brilliant review. I was considering getting a mat this year but I think I'll get some of these instead. The feature tiles would really force/encourage me to make the terrain for that particular tile. Thanks Mel.

I think they're ideal for skirmish games and fantasy role playing especially. The DM can just lay out so many at a time, handy for limited space, and then add more as players explore their environment. Will they give me a 50% discount for such a glowing endorsement Mel?

Now THIS is cool stuff.

Nice idea, I would have liked to see the 3d terrain kit to get a feel for what they are like. I would never choose this over a "real" board with terrain but it looks awesome If you can't have the board set up for long periods of time or when you need to travel with your set.

I think they're really well priced for a 6'x4' setup. I'm seriously considering the Misty Moorlands to start.

28:00 for magical wastes and the tundrascape they should have had a modular cliff or rocky ridge line.

Thanks for the review

Loved this one mate. As an often solo gamer this would really help out in setting up a game without fore knowledge of the table. would have liked to see a set up with some 3D trees rocks etc, over the denoted tiles. Will try to get some Pay Pal to you as well. Hugs

I like the idea of this. I have one big issue with mats. It being that they always cut them short, and even just a small amount can make a difference when the game is specifically designed for a 3x3 or 4x4. Every mat we've played on was missing anywhere from half an inch to an inch. And if I'm paying 30-50 dollars, I want what I'm supposed to be paying for. I've heard many X-Wing players complain about it, as well as some Infinity, Malifaux, and WarmaHordes players. I may end up picking these up for my club. Thanks for showing these!

I got Heroscape game that has plastics hexes ( single,double and eight hexes tile.) You can make all kinds of terrain. Water,lava, snow, rocky. But the is out of production. I bought two sets an lots of booster pack. The figures are elves, dwarves,British redcoats colonial troops,old west Scottish warriors.

This looks all really good! So went on website. Guess what, costs of shipping and customs has become so high that they don't ship to U.K. Or EU anymore. Can get it through Amazon at almost double the price EXCLUDING shipping and importing You can only get limited order in through their kickstarter for wastelands. Slightly disappointed but that is not Mel's fault

great product for good price and its easy to storage it too. win win/.

These could be used to make a huge Catan board also

ha, my name's on one of those boxes somewhere.

I'm tempted to get them but I've got a 3x3 ft battlemat from Urbanmatz.More expensive in comparision but you can spill whatever bevvy you've got, it wipes of without a problem.Also it rolls up pretty nice and hardly takes up room, I took it with me on vacation last year and was able to play small games of Kings of War and Tanks.Still, I'm going to keep an eye on them and if they'll ever do a Ruined City set then I'll prolly be sold.But it's a great review and like I said: "I'm tempted" ;-)

I prefer having a true three dimensional map, but this is still really kool. But I can see it being a great gaming tool. You can get a great map that takes up no space when you done and unlike with a battle mat you can play on different map layouts.

Love the concept. The graphics are fun and perfect for roleplaying. Reminds me of a eurogame like Settlers or Carcassonne. Being double sided really provides a lot of variety. Nice. The cave system looks really great. But... I can't get past those dinged corners. My eye just pulls toward them and I can't look at anything else. I start hunting for more of them. And I saw quite a few of them. A lot really when you consider you've probably only laid them out once or twice. Having hung out with a lot of board gamers, quality of pieces is important both for aesthetics and feel in the hand. I think giving them a touch of super glue to the edges would be a must for long term use. But, I really think the manufacturer should take care of that before sale. Probably would add a touch to the cost but professional on their end worth it for the consumer I think. Doing it yourself risks getting the glue on the surfaces and for a full set, it's going to take some time. I actually would like to see them in a more durable material as well, like double thick card. Having said all of that, I do think it's a great idea and I love the style. A few tweaks by the manufacturer and they have a real hit on their hands. *** When doing reviews, don't be afraid to mention any drawbacks. Fleshes it out the review a bit so to speak. ;) ***

wooow i see somthing for my zombicide collection!

5:48 Haha oops *whistles innocently*

They are stunning...I like the caves, so bright!!! But I don't play DnD...would probably go well with some of the GW boardgames they are producing at the moment though as well :)

so basically they're giant catan tiles .........GENIUS!

Patron Post: So a correction on the video or should I say the info they gave you. I kickstarted the Coastal set and the Tundra set... There was no where there that the backers (At least for me) were in charge of the choosing of the tiles. It was one I believe on their personally message board. As a backer I had no say in the choosing what each of the sets were. I agree, the wastelands set is just that, a waste... to me. I would preferred the caves and tundra only. We did have a vote for specific tiles (Bridge tile), but not what they were (Tundra/Cavern/Wasteland...) However as the product itself, beautiful. I've laid it out a few times but I have yet to use it. I will be using it for my new D&D campaign coming up though. It should be fun.

Looking good but I still prefer battle mats as I tend to have the habbit to trow my drinks over.... card board tiles would probably not to take it as easy as as rubber gaming mat

I like these. Quite a bit.

One of those tiles looks like a pot field.

Reminds me a bit of HeroScape

awesome. love it

Battle of The Bugle...Battle in the Bugle sounds like s skin flick :P

well thay look good and whare stuff stiking out or trees you can put 3d trees or rocks on top of the stuff and if like go nuts mack terain pecw that goes over the tiles that match say a pic of bushes you do the bushes like it will see more

Wonder how they would last with the Heatwaves we get Down Under and any warping if left out while you have a lengthy week long battle ? Do they sit together ok or would a cloth over the table stop them sliding ? How much btw ?

gosh, to think I skimped out on these KS because I thought it wasn't good value... #regret

THIS IS REALLY COOL\

can we see some terrain made for these sets?

nice vid sir!

sick

...yeah.

Hey Bose, what do you think of the Terrainlinx system by WorldWorksGames?

Sadly these are sold out. Exactly what I need :(

how do you stop them sliding around and being knocked?

Hi Mel, you’ve probably tried this already and if so I would be interested to know if it works, but do you think it is possible to create a battle mat or modular gaming mat using carpet tiles? Thinking of getting some of the office style ones with a very short pile thickness in a neutral brown colour and randomly spraying or applying a bit of acrylic emulsions in various earthy shades to give a random appearance and then applying a light random spray with Blutak fast tack and a light dusting of flock before a final seal with a watery pva final coat to bind everything. Carpet tiles even if bought new are a lot cheaper than buying ready made mats and come in 1m or 2ft squares so would generally make a standard sizeed top with no cutting. And a few tester pots of emulsion and a bit of flock and I think you could make a decent base mat for around a tenner.

Mel how did you fix your table to stop them slipping? Mine slip all over the ship.

I really like this ... but I'm very hesitant to pay shipping cost that's almost as much as the product cost!

Amazon doesnt have it???

I have looked all over for these even on Ebay and some Game reseller sites ...nothing POOF like they never existed. Can you assist? By the way GREAT VIDEOS Thanks Alex

How to play this game?

MEL CAN I HAVE SOME OF THSES ILL BUY THEM IFD YOU HAVEV EXTRA

R they still to get?

Looks a bit senless... Much more convenient if this would just be printed on a single piece of material (vinyl, plastic etc.)

These are great, but the company seems defunct at this point. Anyone make something similar?
