Saw this on Data Sphere and HOT DAMN I think it looks good! CNC Workshop (you know, about the first company selling MDF buildings) is about to release a new range of buldings and game board. Yes, it will be expensive with shipping and customs...but I want it badly.

Didn't spot a release date yet though.

Some sweet-looking stuff there.
8) 8)
Good spot, that man.
:D
-
Oh, my! :-* Very Olympus City, I'd better dig out my Appleseed conversions and see about finishing them.
Oh, and start saving... (how many kidneys does a man need anyway?)

(how many kidneys does a man need anyway?)
Going by my own personal experience...you do fine with only one ;)
(had my right one removed at the age of 18...still going mighty strong on one 16 years later)
-
Good to know!
I think I'll be going the money route anyway; I'm a bit of a completist, and besides, CNC Workshop doesn't seem to have a bodypart payment plan. lol
-
Oh my; I just got the urge to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution again! (the entire table just needs to be repainted in golden yellow :D )
That is some awesome terrain and almost exactly what I'm after for my near future cityscape. I mean; escalators? 8) The apartment(?)buildings with the volume dial on the sides are excellent and I might very well pick up a couple. Does anyone know if they go up all the way to eleven?
-
Yes! Someone finally fully realized the potential of this medium. There has been some great stuff out and it has been getting better but this is finally a futuristic city that looks both futuristic and city like and not Gothic or outpost/colony like.
-
Very nice indeed :) I would certainly game for hours on that if i had such a set up haha lol
-
Yeah, I saw this a few days ago too. It's going to make my wife cry (or me when she gets to redo the master bath to offset what I'm spending on this plus punitive damages....)
-
Seriously nice-looking terrain/board, but unfortunately the closeups do reveal some, ah, hasty-looking assembly.
...I guess that's often common with these sorts of laser-cut MDF kits?
-
That's fantastic, I want one. :o :D
-
Looks like an incredible table. More impressive is the paintwork. With a different palette and some grunge it'd make an excellent Necromunda table as well. I did chuckle at the continued use of hexes though. Sci-fi=hexes. lol
I would guess you're looking at a couple thousand bucks for that entire table though - particularly if it comes pre-painted. Still, lovely kit.

True the hex thing is getting a bit over done but I suppose it is better than companies that think MORE SKULLZZZZZ! and 800 year old architectural styles are futuristic.

Hear, hear !

Next you'll be telling me to put a helmet on to go with my armoured body...or that my axe is ineffective in the future. NONSENSE!
-
my axe is ineffective in the future. NONSENSE!
But doesn't everybody use a chainsaw?

Splendid looking board.
Hasty-looking assembly is common with lots of terrain, including the stuff provided by modern urban architects. We have some attrocious looking buildings locally.
-
Those pictures ARE of the "prototypes" assembled for a recent tournament for infinity.
That's why the small errors with hasty assembly. Mousemuffins had to tweak some of the other designs for new stuff after it was revealed that there were issues with them.
-

But hexes are the future. Check this out:

It's not a million miles away!
-
Apparently the hexes are not on the finished pieces they were added with a stencil in the painting stage.
-
If their Tactical Response Vehicle is anything to go by, they might offer the hexes as an upgrade to the basic kit though...
-
I really like this stuff, but the icing on the cake is that techno-torii gate. Sweet stuff.
-
I'd love to know if the buildings have interiors that you can play in.
-
Judging solely by the look of most of them - I'd guess no. It would also jump cost. Some of the high-rise-esque buildings with interiors would end up being $250 a pop themselves at that size. I'd be happy to be wrong though! lol
-
Those don't. Pretty much none of the CNC buildings have playable interiors.
The city was made (I believe) mainly to show off the new street tiles that replace the old city and urban grounds tiles (which are a full 12", not the 11" or so of the older series.)
