I wouldnt pay for something like that. Its great that there is an option for those who dont want to spend thirty minutes with sand, glue and board. I just couldnt see myself buying them.
I think I’m with Darrell more than Justin personally, I can see Justin’s point but a lump of insulating foam, two or three coats of PVA and sand, spray it light grey, drybrush a very very light blue then highlight with pure white, maybe a days work counting drying time. If you’re stuck for time or want it easier, foam, a good 4/5 layers of the lightest acrylic grey paint you have, spray it with snow spray- you’ll find it in the pound shop in the next few weeks most likely- then after its set spray a couple light coats of matt varnish over it.
Really it boils down to the same thing terrain/scenery in tabletop games always does: Cheap, Quick, Good, pick any two.
I agree with Darrel on this one.
This really is kinda silly.
I’m team Justin! hahaha… oh god I just said that.
They are a bit pointless really, I don’t make that much terrain and I would buy pre painted quicker, but this, it’s just too far.
I agree with Darrrel.
Nothing wrong with the product itself as reguards quality.But the time needed to make them yourself , sort of makes them pretty pointless.Unless you do not want to paint or make stuff yourself,but buy everything and pay others to assemble and paint your minatures for you…
You mean to say you could make everything yourself with what GW are coming out with??lol
You gotta be taking the yellow snow
There’s plenty I would spend my money on from Battlefield in a box but not something that would take me 10 minutes to make.
Haha, Daryl was hilarious in this! “You get double the amount of colours!”
I love battlefield in a box, I have tons, but this…nah
Really depends on how much they are. I agree with everything that’s been said about making your own. But for lazy buggers like me this stuff is making me lazier. I love opening the box and throwing it on the table, Looks good straight away
Yep I agree with Darrell
