Any table-top gamer knows that in order to make a game more fun. You need a decent amount of snacks, a large table, good friends, plenty of time and of course, terrain for your models to hide behind, use as obstacles etc. You can only go so far using some salt-shakers and a can of cola, after all.

Those lovely folk at Mantic understand this, and have launched a Kickstarter to produce really cool alien scene terrain. TerrainCrate three is all about making our wargames tables look outstanding whilst being functional and inexpensive. TC3 will consist of two Crates, one full of stunning jungle and fungal flora and one crammed with sci-fi scatter and walls that not only look great but stop those arguments about being in or out of a terrain piece. These Crates will also be accompanied by three new gaming mats in 4×4, 6×4 and 40k size, along with neoprene templates for woods and buildings.

The designs combine an alien-world vibe with an 80’s sci-fi TV show feel that we don’t see often enough in the board game world. These are fun and flexible features, suitable for all sorts of games, even Grim Dark ones.
