Pop-Up Terrain By Stonehaven Miniatures? Yes, Please!
June 18, 2014 by deltagamegirl22
We all know that how much terrain adds to a tabletop. We also know how much space it takes up in our hobby rooms. Well, I found a pretty cool answer to both of these issues on Kickstarter right now!
The Pop-Up Miniature Terrain Kit by Stonehaven Miniatures has the answer to a couple of our gaming dilemmas! Remember the pop up children’s books from our youth? The same concept is applied to table top gaming here. This is paper terrain made out of 12 inch by 18 inch, 110lb cardstock. The kits come with the scenery and textures already printed on them as well as access to video instructions. The hobbiest just has to cut them out and glue them to a stiffer board of their choosing (foam board, matte board, etc) and you’re ready to play. The coolest thing about this is that you have 3 dimensional terrain to add richness to your gaming table with both portability and space saving storage! You fold it up and put it away! Just think of the extra space on your game shelves!
There are 5 different terrain pieces in the original starter goal: Graveyard, Ruins, Gazebo, Engineworks, and Outpost. A stretch goal has been met offering a Viking Village! Should the next stretch goal be met, they will offer a Fish Shack. (Not sure what I would use that for, but why not?)
There are options available to buy the preprinted terrain as well as print your own additional pieces.
Would you use this kind of terrain to enhance your gaming tables?
That’s a novel idea
Interesting I wonder how it will hold up with the heavier metal/resin models or if you can color it in.
In the Kickstarter video, he does show terrain with models on. And that’s a great question about coloring. I wondered that myself. I’m going to look into it. I backed it, so I will let you know when I get it, if not before. 🙂
That’s a great idea, now if only someone made a pop-up battlefield 🙂
I don’t know how practical this will be with heavier miniatures but, I am so glad someone has done this!
Not something I’d get myself, but I think it’s a pretty clever idea and it looks very stylish too! I wish them all the best!
I didn’t know I needed this stuff so badly until I saw it
Love these… not sure i’d use them for gaming but they’d be the best birthday cards for a gamer ever!
As more and more manufacturers move to resin and/or plastic minis, I think you’re only going to see more terrain companies producing cheap, stable and durable-enough cardstock buildings and whatnot to set them on. I would like to see these printed in color though. I’d also like to see Terra Clips make a comeback, but I guess that just didn’t work out the way WorldWorks hoped it would? I need to find another set of the streets somewhere before they’re gone forever.
Love it… the heart of a hobbyist meets the opportunity to share and benefit that is Kickstarter. Glad his project is go… probably get the PDF only version and print them myself
Rockin!
That’s a brilliant idea as for painting if you glue both sides the glue should protect the detail picture on the cards.
This is incredible, I’ve seen so many incredible paper art and pop up concepts online before but never though of applying it to wargamer terrain, My otherwise incredibly understanding other half is looking at my box of terrain and wondering if it could be folded flat also!
PDF option i think is the clear winner as it could then be coloured so easily using photoshop and the like.
Pretty awesome needs some more SciFi options and some urban pieces. It’s a great concept and they did a great job demonstrating it as well. Hope they do more stuff that is Dust friendly.
Backed. I was thinking this didn’t look interesting, but once I saw that GIF on how it works I was sold.
There was a booth at GenCon 2013 from a small company called Collapsible Construction that was doing this type of thing but in full color and a surface that is dry/wet erase safe. There were free standing peasant huts and connectable freestanding 6 inch wall sections that could support the metal heavy warjacks from Warmachine. I do believe they are going to be back at GenCon this year.
