Title: (KICKSTARTER) HyGround - 3D Terrain Tiles

These are plastic hex tiles designed to stack, similar to the popular HeroScape tiles. There are a variety of accessory like covers for different ground types, trees, lava rocks, water falls and so on. It looks really nice if you don't mind the stylized look, and I can imagine it to become a favourite for BattleTech players but also everyone else that seeks a sturdy and extremely modular solution for their wargaming terrain needs, as the system can of course also be used for games with free movement. The parts can also be painted, flocked, and customized by carving into them and so on.

Pretty cool idea!
$70 for a 28" x28" 3D space seems a bit steep but I spend stupid money on other things so who am I?
The $150,000 goal is steep. Good luck. Its something I'd be interested in later on but timing is everything..

Like the style on those - like a colourful cartoon wonderland, with twisted trees and little waterfalls.  Brilliant!

I mean, I still have my Heroscape tiles, but these new ones have a character all their own.
