The Tabletop Comes Alive With Micro Art’s Hive Terrain
September 14, 2015 by brennon
The very ground comes alive with two more Hive terrain pieces from Micro Art Studios. The first of these is the Hive Devourer and the second the Hive Lurkers giving you an idea of what lays beneath the surface of these infested worlds...
As with most of their big range the terrain is made of Hardfoam meaning that it is pretty easy to put the big pieces together and get painting. This particular piece, the Devourer, actually comes as three different parts of the 'maw' and a base which looks like this...
You could even come up with an insert for the base of this 'Devourer' where you fill it with slime and ichor if you weren't looking for big tall terrain in your games. Then, when the maw comes out you stick those big ol' toothy bits in.
The Lurkers look like some rather strange pieces of alien terrain but when you take a closer look you'll see those tell tale teeth and some beady eyes bearing out from the earth. I would not want to have to come up against these kind of creatures, with the board coming alive around me.
This gives me loads of awesome ideas for a narrative board where Space Marines (or another faction) are taking on an infested Tyranid world. You could have so many traps everywhere as even the tabletop wants them dead.
What do you think of their new pieces?

these look awesome 🙂
and I love the paint jobs 🙂 they almost look like they are animated or something 🙂
Very cool. Sort of like a Arakis sand worm. I can see placing the smaller hump on the table one per turn then have the naw open up beneath the hapless work bait, Er I mean troops.
I think the planet Bone theme song from Shadow Raiders [War Planets] would be appropriate for these releases!
They look absolutely revolting. Meant as a compliment of course. Nice work!
Microarts Studio are fantastic. Not just the beautiful terrain, but they really go all out on the ‘customer services’.
Now that I have my city terrain I guess i’ll have to expand!
They look nice. Hope the quality s better than their previous hard foam terrain. Have some of their crate stacks and they’re awful.
Blessed be the Maker and His Water.
Blessed be His coming and His going.
May His passage cleanse the world.
Those would be very useful for any Tyranid player who wants to liven up their board. A themed board depicting a planet undergoing Tyrannoforming would be a very interesting project.
I see worm sine,
would be good for nids.
Usul, we have Worm Sign the likes of which god himself has never seen!
