Infinite crypt
« on: October 30, 2013, 06:48:59 AM »
I've backed this, but I haven't seen it shared anywhere so I thought I would...

The spiel isn't brilliant but the product looks great.  Easy dungeon build, why thank you!
Smile!  It's not that bad!

Cool, they're sort of lo-res in a good way! Makes me want to print out Doom textures to stick on the surface!

There was another thread on this.  General consensus was = good idea, very piss poor value compared to other MDF stuff.  If it were half the price, it'd do far more business.

I like the aesthetic of this one vs some of the other MDF stuff, but yes, the value here seems fairly low.

I can't see another thread. Could you link it, or alternatively suggest some cheaper alternatives? I've looked at a dozen terrain KS and this doesn't seem to me to be terribly different in price.

The original thread:

No, it's not terribly different in price, and that's the problem. It takes by their own account 4-5 minutes per piece for assembly, and then you have to paint it, all for a result that has a fraction of the detail of dwarven forge and as you say, isn't considerably cheaper. It needs to be cheaper on a factor several times over to make up for what you lose as compared with Dwarven Forge.

If you want a cheaper option look to Itar

Not sure if you'll have another opportunity to match the deal offered in the ks, but couldn't hurt to investigate.
