Dungeon Walls

[KeyanSark]

A nice product for old-timers like me... A box of prepainted, configurable dungeon walls and doors. Each box has 50 wall sections and 5 wooden doors for 25$.

This is the manufacturer's site

And an official example:


Some weeks ago, my order arrived and yesterday I took some photos

Here are the two boxes


Once opened, each box has a plastic bag containing the pieces


Walls and doors are prepainted. Not a good standard but acceptable for a game. Pieces can be fixed two by two and then you can bend the walls or create corners. The manufacturer recommends to create some 3-4 wall pieces in order to quickly set the dungeon during the game.


An evil empire dwarf serves to get scale info


When the walls are combined with tilesets, the effect is great. D&D and Heroquest games are really enhanced.


I will use these walls to make the Nazi Prison escape from Amazing War Stories. I will post pics when I manage to play it.

Certainly useful but a *little* to short, crude and utilitarian to me. I want my table scenery to look the business.

I saw these at GenCon. And like Hammershield, I like my terrain a little more "pretty" but I did find the concept of these walls great, especially for people who are more interested in playing games than in modelling.

I agree with you: they are not pretty, but they are great for a quick game when you don't have time or space for the beautiful tables we see in this forum.

The one thing I never made for my dungeons was walling as all it does is restrict access for players to see what's going on and to get to their figures. I use card floorplans to show the room and corridor shapes and then have models of the furniture and room fittings which are, after all, the important bits.

I don't like these because they're not pretty and none too functional either.

Here's my home-made dungeon stuff (crude but functional):

I wanted to do some egyptian Matakishi-style blocks for my yet unfinished egyptian pulp-project, but I could not find balsa wood in proper sizes (DK still is a developing country when it comes to DIY and craft stores, I guess) and heavier wood is too much work, I think.

But now I finally found a supplier of foam board, and maybe I'll make some modular dungeons out of that (I can the glue printouts of hieroglyphs and wall-paintings to the wall, and floor-tile cutouts to the floor...
