Prepainted Modular Terrain Tiles From Pedion On Kickstarter
May 28, 2015 by stvitusdancern
Pedion Modular Battlefields has an amazing project on Kickstarter right now that solves numerous gaming dilemmas in one swoop!
The Pedion Modular Prepainted Terrain System for RPGs and Wargames has put together sets of 1' x 1' terrain tiles that are ready to use the moment they arrive. Not only do these tiles provide a quick and easy way to get gaming, but they provide the ability to mix and match, and create new game boards and dioramas.
With this flexibility comes another really awesome feature, which is that many of the boards are also magnetized, so you can change out all kinds of little details like trees, hedgerows, crates, and other scatter terrain.
The last aspect of this project, which just may be the most important, is the fact that it is so thin, light weight and durable, that it can easily be stacked and stowed away - and if you're gaming room looks anything like mine, that's REALLY important!
Will you be backing this versatile terrain project?

seems nice! i’ve got a foldable warboard gaming table wich is cool for storage, but these look reaaaally good!
I am liking this stuff. So I like it, but not enough to stop making my own, but if you do not have the skill then this nice stuff. Sorry if I sound down on this product, it is not far enough different and not far away from the other stuff out there already, I suppose it then depends upon price. The magnetic if your making it is easily used in fact we have lots of times trench length gantry etc. Sorry but I have to pass and make my own more fun and what ever the price much cheaper.
Like the concept a lot, but there is something that I am not to sure on, one of those hind brain things
Same, I like the idea, just seems expensive to me for 6×4 table….
Well it does come pre-painted and everything.
Not sure its cost, just a nagging doubt
Here’s what I think. We’re very used to seeing well produced, good looking videos by some of the companies covered on kickstarter. This video is obviously shot in his house and his first language is clearly not English.
I wish this guy all the best, it’s obviously a passion for him that he wants to turn into a business.
@onepinman think you helped me figure it, its not exactly what you said but looking at the finish looks very much a case of each will be hand finished and for a stackable solution I would have questions as to how well the finish will take punishment. I also have doubts about the odd colouration/markings on the edging – if that’s a pre-production thing or not I don’t understand.
I wish the guy luck but not something I could back
looks amazing.
$432 buy-in for 6’x4′ plus the typical problems that come with any kickstarter (including the possibility of non-delivery). Are people really too busy to buy some pink insulation, static grass, pva, realistic water (or mod podge from the dollar store) and a hot-knife or soldering gun with a wire attachment?
All that stuff I just mentioned would be maybe $100 and you’d get to make it exactly the way you want… and you could finish it in a weekend.
tools not tolls
I can vouch for that. Making your own terrain needs both skill and time. I have some skill but struggle for time. Sure, I could flock a board green, but I want something more. I put a lot of effort into painting, so why would I not put a similar level of effort into my gaming table? Pre painted terrain is a godsend for people who don’t have the skill, time or both.
Is the stuff shown on the project what you actually get?
It looks to me like those are all pics of his hand-made stuff, but now he’s raising funds to get them mass-produced instead, with moulds and stuff…
This is very like another modular terrain system by TSS: http://totalsystemscenic.com/
I can think of others – Kallistra go for hexes: https://www.kallistra.co.uk/?page=8
*suck, not such 🙂
