New Map Tile System

[Aeston]

Hi all. Long time.

Not technically official Heroscape news but still of interest.

This keeps popping up in my Facebook and I know nothing more than what’s posted at Kickstarter, but considering the fact that the plastic from the map tiles has a limited life span I thought thus might interest some.

Interesting...thanks

Do we know how big those tiles are? I'd like to know if they compare to Scape tiles.

They are 1-1/2" from flat to flat and 1/4" thick according to the creator’s comments on Facebook. They were designed with Heroscape in mind.

Reminds me of Hyground, somehow.

Thanks for the link. I just started encountering cracking on terrain tiles so good to know an alternative is out there.

Here's a pic of the final textured production-quality tiles, from November. Terragon is still awaiting completion & delivery of their injection mold to begin production, which should be early next year. 1.5" edge-to-edge, 1/4" thick.


Top row: Magma, Obsidian (HS Shadow), Snow
Center: Sand, Earth (HS Stone), Ice--transparent
Bottom: Stone (HS Dungeon), Grass, Water--transparent





1" stickers would be needed for "Swamp water" and Lava field, and road could be any unused color not represented in your base map, whether sand/earth/stone/magma... --tiles could be flipped upside-down to hide stickers as necessary.

There are various sized terrain bundles in five "themes" (Page 2) --but the breakdowns don't conform to any Heroscape set.
25-tile pack is $25.
Hoard -- 1000 for $550
Trove -- 500 for $300
Starter pack -- 250 for $160

There's also scatter terrain (trees, rocks, pillars) and stackable walls in various lengths. Edit: From the KS Update #20, looks like each wall segment is edge-to-edge, so the longest one is three hexes wide...and the wall system will be expanded after KS fulfillment.
