I just read it for the first time the other day! Evil Japanese landowner spirit who comes back from the dead to continue to mess with his tenants. I think we've all been there... Sweet! Thanks for the info! Wish I had a reason to buy the TTB books besides fluff curiosity. Nobody runs games here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 1 hour ago, the tick said: "This is Wanyudo, don't get excited..." So 2 questions: 1) What is (a?) Wanyudo? 2) You can't show that to me and expect me not to get a little excited.... This all looks wonderful! Love that it has an interior! Hope it's not too expensive... I'd love a Little Kingdoms themed set! If you want some real-world history http://yokai.com/wanyuudou/ I use this site for all my Japanese stuff from Wyrd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charnel Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 As awesome as this terrain is, I dread painting it. So I think I'll stick to Plastcraft for now at least, or until I can get someone to paint that plastic terrain for me, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Sage Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Nice, though I'd prefer more themed base inserts and accessories. Basing my malifaux miniatures is constant pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 These are going to look great Nathan. Wonder how they are going to fit with my Terraclips stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancater Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Love the idea. Dread painting it. Wonder how large the range will be and what will be included. For Little Kingdoms I'd like to see a kind of add-on pack. It makes sense that the buildings of Malifaux don't take after any earth style themselves, they are built by an alien mind but instead that the folks of earth have added their own flavor and style to the infrastructure, so maybe some buildings and bits where the facade and appearances have been culturally tricked but the buildings themselves would be mostly consistent with their alien theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikciwok Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 @Nathan Caroland Terrain should be functional and I'm worried this one's not. How big the terrace is? Can the model with 30/40/50 mm base fit in? If not, maybe send the building's blueprints to the same manufacturers responsible for oversized Nightmare Nothing Beast and Grootslang to fix it Similar question: Can a 32 mm-high model on 30 mm base fit through the door? Can we open the door? Are there other entrances to the building? Like, you know, a door on the other side? You said about interiors, so I assume the roof is removable. Is there enough space for models to move and interact with each other? The weirdest element of this model is that little tower/gazebo/lodge thing. Is it accesible for models? If so, how? Also, you decided to make windows out of solid plastic. What about line of sight rules? The building looks interesting and I bet it would make an excellent centerpiece of riverside diorama but that would be a shame the first piece of terrain your company produced is incompatible with your game.

Griautis Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Choosing Wanyudo for scale seems sort of subpar, given that a) nobody has him yet, b ) he's 52 mm instead of a more normal sized mini. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seneca Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Size cannot be "true 32 mm" or buildings would be really big. Never is with comparable terrain from other companies. Usual compromise is to have outside features playable. Veranda for example looks OK for 30 mm, maybe 40 mm. Interior would be single room I guess. Large enough for a 4-way brawl and some furniture. Making for some interesting blocking options in a tight space. Line of Sight is still possible even with plastic windows, just hard. But you could just say "no LoS" to keep it simple. Looks awesome to me and then some. More than enough playability and some gaudy, elaborate, whimsical features. Which scream Malifaux to me. So, all good.

Treehouse Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Or if the model is in btb or within 1" to the window, you have los. Otherwise not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally suggest counting the window and 1" of it as dense. That lets you see through it, if you're close to it without making you able to see everything for ever. The Terrain looks awesome, but I'm interested in practicality, playability and transport. As such I might have to wait until I see it in the flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Looks mighty nice. Let me hazard a guess.... is this a greenhose or sun room type of building? I'm excited to think it could be modular.. as in made to line up with one or more other kits to make a larger building. Though I could be wrong. I' m dieing to know how much... and when!

Math Mathonwy Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Including a never-before-seen mini of a giant head in a flaming wheel for scale is a tad... wyrd. But seriously, I do like the look of that building. IMO buildings that you buy should be the sort that one couldn't build and this one fits the bill. The only reservation I have is that it is so glorious that one should probably have a table's worth of terrain in this style to fully appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoWZ Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Magnificent ! I hope you anticipate other things like this one. And do you think to make decorative elements such as: furniture, garbage cans, and many other objects to complete the scene? As you did the street lights! Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
