its just like moon scape terrain, that was the shittest stuff i ever brought, and in the white dwarf i saw it in, it said back by popular demand, so who the fuck wanted ore of these things
Honestly it's not THAT flimsy. It's just flexible. I have a set myself and as long as you're not reckless with it, it'll be fine. I throw mine around, my friend puts her heavy metal Hive Tyrant on it and it's holds fine. As for the dents, you probably just got a bad mold or something which GW does got your back with.
I got mine in almost acceptable conditions, but the center of the crashed escape pod thing was so thin so when i put my just finished demon lord (which by the way took me over a week just to paint) on top of it, the shit broke under the weight and the arm of the guy fell off!
im totaly with you but maybe u just got unlucky i had an idea t5hat might help u could use some car body fill realy hard core stuff to put an inner layer to strengthen it
Im really happy there is so much public outcry on this. GW need to recall, come public with the problem and reissue these pieces. I for one will not buy a set until that happens. I have been loyal to GW for over a decade now but this is insulting.
yeah I hear ya man, the quality of this bit of terrain is bull. mine came pretty undamaged and pretty level but looking just as crappy as yours. I already wrote gw to complain. It almost looks like the first blastscape they ran stuck to the top of the mold and they kept on cranking out the rest from the underside of the first one.
Link please? I have no idea how anyone can possibly like this stuff. It's the crappiest stuff GW has come out with in a long time. I was able to poke a hole through it with a pencil.
I saw the skyshield pad at my local GW, it can hold a valkyrie, and it was holding to basilisks today. I was going to buy these but I got a forewarning. Thanks very much, mate.
typical gw quality, sell super cheap crap and make low quality product for rediculously more than what its worth. cant believe its just a shitty piece of thin vacuformed plastic. the painted ones they show in the mag and online are propably painted up versions of the master. GW has been going down hill quality wise for the last 6-7 years or so imo ( horrible mold lines cheap shit plastic quality, now junk dollar store quality vacuformed terrain). Deffinately seek a refund.
It's a piece of terrain for 15 euros. I have to admit I expected them to look better, they're still not a waste of money at the price point. 3 euros each is okay IMO.
I'm not too thrilled about having to remove all those border edges though (weakingen it in the process). Maybe I'll get a moonscape instead.
Yea, the way I said it sounded like the moonscape was a solution. I'd buy a moonscape instead as it fits better in planetstrike (actual craters) and is easier to fit on any battlefield imo.
The moonscape is not the same quality. Moonscape is much stronger and thicker. So the details are not there but the multiple little dents and very thin plastic is not even close to the same moonscape quality
The moonscape also didn't try and do complex things with what they are vacuum forming.
My blastscape also has tons of little blobs of plastic where the vacuum sucked the plastic into the vent holes in the mold, so the laserburn piece looks like it has lots of breasts in the burn.
There is an idea, make it slaaneshi themed terrain.
My friend put his on harboard after filling it with plaster or something i think, he said it was like one of those desposable plastic drinking cups :( the stuff looked so good though, thanks for the review youve just saved me some money
Wow, and I thought that it looked SO good in the magazine. I was really hyped about it. I am so glad tha you exposed this terrain. That is HORRIBLE vacuum mold crap.
hate to bum you out but i saw one of those painted at my games workshop and it looks flimsy and more like it was home made rather than professional and it was games workshops one for promotional use nothing as good as the buildings they already sell
????? My statement is BS???? I am referring to the blastscape not the landing pad. You can check the pics yourself and the link in the corner has clear comparison shots.
