Armorcast makes high quality scenery and terrain for various genres (fantasy, historical, and sci-fi). So if you like Hirst Arts but cringe at the idea of having to cast hundreds of bricks and pieces and then assemble them, then Red Dragon Terrain is for you.Īrmorcast – These guys mass produce a lot of battlefield scenery, many terrain retailers re-sell their products. Red Dragon Terrain – Rob uses the high quality molds from Hirst Arts to create buildings for his custom scenic terrains. Well, the molds do wear out after prolonged use… but still. Probably the most cost efficient cast/carved scenery, since you can make as much as you want (and if you use plaster of paris, it is cheap). Hirst Arts Fantasy Architecture – I drool over their cast-your-own molds at GenCon every year, and every year I kick myself in the ass for not purchasing a bunch of molds. I’d give some body parts for some of these sets (I don’t need them anymore anyways…). They are all hand painted and very detailed. Dwarven Forge makes some of the best dungeon sets on the market. Their website is packed with stuff of the same caliber work I urge everyone to check out their gallery!ĭwarven Forge – There is always a crowd around the Dwarven Forge booth at GenCon, at the awe is well deserved. The oriental village above was created by Kobblestone Miniatures from Canada. Kobblestone Miniatures – I previously credited the above awesome diorama to another company, well I want to set the record straight. This section covers retailers that sell cast or carved items. I view scenery as any structures, debris, vegetation, or man-mad/free-standing objects. Roads are also usually incorporated into the terrain. While minor features include: Draw, Spur and Cliff.
Major features include: Hill, Ridge, Valley, Saddle, and Depression. These would include the major and minor terrain features, from a military perspective. I am not for sure there is a standard definition for these terms, but I distinguish terrain as the actual landforms carved or molded from/into the base material.
If any readers know of some cool places I missed, pipe up in the comments! Kobblestone Miniatures Cast Scenery & Terrain Some of the best scenery is sourced from companies that cater to the wargaming crowd, while I find most of the cardstock is marketed to the roleplayers. I thought I would share my list of resources (just like my previous lists) with the community. Thus, I have reconnoitered the internet in pursuit of the finest terrain, scenery, structures, and tutorials that the web has to offer. While I am still at the beginning phase of planning (as in I am still deciding the genre: fantasy, sci-fi, superhero, horror, or pulp), I do know that I want to include some fantastic scenery and terrain. Since I am not currently running a game, I have been thinking about the next campaign that I will run.
