TerranScapes ~ Playing Surfaces

Made of crushed felt, this premium heavy cloth features a beautiful mottled green color and was selected from a local factory to match the TerranScape product line. Much easier to store than game boards, this cloth ties together your terrain and provides a quality playing surface. The cloth is wrinkle resistant but please see the Care and Storage section for more information.

TerranScapes game boards set a new standard in terrain playing surfaces. Their modular design allows for countless variations of layouts. Inspired by the tables of Games Workshop, they provide the home gamer an opportunity to play on a premium surface. They are shipped in boxes suitable for storage and transportation after purchase, making them convenient to own and bring to outside gaming events.

These boards are finished with high quality flocking and scaled vegetation that is placed in such a manner as to be protected by the topography of the board when stored. Sunken rivers, talus at the bottom of cliffs, tall grasses, diverse bushes and shrubs, and beautiful water effects make these boards the pinnacle of terrain realism for miniature gamers. Their carefully designed layout creates the maximum versatility in miniature gaming surfaces being offered today.

Each of the following standard boards is 10" x 20" (25 cm x 50 cm). A new 10" x 10" board allows for better configurations to match the needs of conventional playing areas.

• 8 boards equals an area slightly smaller than a 2' x 3' - (actual size = 20" x 40"


• 12 standard boards + 1 10" x 10" board equals just over 4' x 4' (actual size = 50" x 50")


• 17
standard boards + 1 10" x 10" board equals an area of 4' x 6' - (actual size = 50" x 70")

In the composite photos for each board, various possible configurations are show. Each was produced using a single set of ten or twelve boards. Some of the photos include extra terrain for scale and layout ideas. These photos show only a limited selection of the hundreds of possible arrangements.

Please also note that these boards are constructed from extruded polystyrene insulation boards. These boards have some minor variations in their thickness (1/16" - 1/8") due to compression in shipping. A set of foam shims are sent with each board set allowing the owner to raise the few corners that may sit below grade producing a flush gaming surface.
