    With the best will in the world, this is poor quality terrain.
    Compare it to the British companies WarGamesTournaments or Wargame-model-mods, or the Australian CNC Workshop, all of whom I have first hand experience of buying from, or the American Brush4Hire.
    Each of those four companies sell infinitely better product.

    It's good that you wish to provide an alternative to Games Workshop Terrain, but have a look at the standard of product that other people are putting out and try to provide better or at least equally good stuff.

    I genuinely wouldn't by anything from your Kickstarter, and if I had and then saw the other companies' terrain, then I'd feel cheated.

    I'm not a big fan of wood terrain myself. There's little detail to it, which means you have to be a decent painter to get it looking good on the board, and that's definitely not me.

    Plastic stuff is my preferred. Easy to work with, light enough to make some precarious looking builds, and sturdy enough to stand up to the reasonable rigours of gaming.

    Seems ok to me, the only complaint would be one of style, its obviously not going to be to everyones taste but for the price it seems reasonable for what you get. Style and price point is always going to be down to the individual gamer. Personally I dont kickstart but at the price offered Id probably consider buying normally some of this stuff for a table given budget constraints we all have in a hobby.

    and ignore the whining about MDF, nothing wrong with it and it doesnt require some advance painting skill or anything to make it look good.

    Everyone has there own preference of terrain. I am a big infinity player and have another full table of another company and it was expensive and made from mdf. I personally like the wood look form them and other manufactures but cost is always a issue when making a table and I like variety. I am going to get a set of the containers as well because they will work great when stacked. I am not a plastic terrain guy because I don't want to paint it bit it is the same for any terrain (painting).
