This release sees the introduction of a range of landscaping terrain pieces including modular hills (one with an option to have a cliff mounted bunker!), an assortment of rocky outcrops, a river with fords and a length of bocage hedgerow.
As always, here’s a little background on the various new models…
Hills
Whether sand dunes in the desert, gently rolling rises or the craggy beginnings of a mountain range; hills are a common feature of battlefields and the landscape in general. As a strategic viewing point or place to site big guns, no wargaming terrain collection is complete without a few hills.
These modular hills can be assembled in a variety of ways allowing for placement on the edges and corners of a table, or as a single larger piece. Each is comprised of 6 pieces and is supplied with a series of clips to ensure they stay together on the table
Each set of 6 differs slightly, as below:
1 – mostly rock faces but with a slope at one end. The sunken bunker can also be added to this hill.
2 – approximately half rocky cliff faces and half sloping
3 – mostly sloping with a small rocky area at one end
Rocks
They may be exposed and wind-scored sandstone cliffs in a sea of sand, or the ancient weathered remains of a long dormant volcano, or anywhere in between; but large rocky outcrops are certainly useful pieces of terrain! Those assorted rock pieces are a must for any terrain set and will add another level of detail to a table. The various designs allow for either complete line of sight blocking escarpments or cover providing groups of boulders.
River
Across the world from jungles of the Pacific to the fields of Normandy to Western Desert (ok….maybe not always the desert!), rivers, whether broad or narrow, shallow or deep have provided an obstacle to armies for centuries. This set represents a relatively narrow and shallow river that can be forded. With a length of approximately 145cm (at 28mm), there are the following pieces in this set:
- 4x Corners (two left, two right)
- 6x Straights
- 1x Foot ford
- 1x Vehicle ford
Bocage Hedgerow
The bocage hedgerow of Normandy posed a great problem to the liberating Allied forces and a wonderful opportunity for defence to the occupying Germans. Formed of earth packed stone walls with dense bushes and hedges growing from them (often centuries old), the lanes between the hedgerows were hidden from each other and opposing forces could be within a few metres of each other and not realise! Additionally, the tightly packed undergrowth and narrow lanes made moving vehicles difficult and perilous as hidden ambushes could be set up almost anywhere.
This set comprises enough pieces to build a hedge of approximately 120cm in length (at 28mm) and also includes a gateway and area of removed hedge to represent a passage cleared by a Cullen cutter, bulldozer or similar. The pieces are supplied as bare 3D prints, the finished photos is to show what the pieces can look like once finished with a suitable material (rubberised horsehair and flock in this case).
The full set contains:
- 6 x straight
- 1 x gateway
- 1 x bulldozed section
- 2 x ends
- 2 x 45 degree angles
- 1 x Y section

We hope that soon our new terrain will be adorning your battlefield!
