Ultimately, I want to build a sophisticated, 3-Dimensional, magnetic, and most importantly home-kitbashed sci-fi gaming table, primarily with plastics. I have plans and materials, but realistically the project is going to take me years to do. Which is fine by me; I enjoy spending time on a long-term project.

In the meanwhile, when I want to set up an impressive interior sci-fi board for a game right away, there’s the battle systems kickstarter.

A lot of smaller outfits are making excellent cardboard punch terrain for general wargaming use that looks like some of the higher end stuff from Fantasy Flight for games like Descent, or even GW’s space hulk. It’s probably a lot cheaper to do, and the fact that it’s much less work for the average gamer to get up and looking good, as opposed to having to paint everything makes it a pretty solid compromise for a lot of people’s circumstances.

Then again, that’s coming from someone who just bought a 2×8 piece of blue foam for terrain modeling today…
