FAQs
What are modular terrain sets for tabletop gaming?
Modular terrain sets are highly versatile pieces of 3D-printed scenery designed for tabletop gaming. These sets consist of interconnected components such as walls, platforms, buildings, rocks and other elements that can be rearranged to create different layouts for each gaming session. They are ideal for games like Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Frostgrave, and other RPGs or wargames, allowing players to craft immersive battlefields tailored to specific missions or scenarios. At QP3D Wargames, these sets come in a range of styles, from futuristic cities to fantasy-themed dwarven mines, offering endless possibilities.
How do modular terrain sets enhance gaming experiences?
Modular terrain sets bring several advantages to tabletop gaming:
- Strategic Depth: Obstacles, vantage points, and cover influence gameplay tactics, enhancing the challenge and immersion.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Realistic and detailed terrain amplifies the visual storytelling of battles or campaigns.
- Flexibility: Customizable layouts ensure that no two sessions feel the same.
- Player Engagement: Designing and interacting with detailed terrain boosts creativity and makes the gaming experience more dynamic and enjoyable.
These sets help create memorable gaming experiences by merging artistic design with practical gameplay functionality.
Can I expand modular terrain sets over time?
Yes, modular terrain sets are designed to be expandable. You can start with a small base set and gradually add new components to suit your evolving needs. For example, if you purchase a set of modular castle walls, you can later include towers, gates, or ruined sections to diversify your setup. At QP3D Wargames, we frequently release new pieces that are fully compatible with our existing designs, ensuring that your collection remains adaptable and exciting over time.
Are modular terrain sets compatible with different scales (28mm, 32mm)?
Absolutely! Most of our modular terrain sets are specifically designed for popular tabletop gaming scales, such as 28mm and 32mm, which are standard for games like Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, and Dungeons & Dragons. These scales ensure that miniatures blend seamlessly with the terrain, maintaining proportionality and immersion. If you’re unsure about compatibility, you can reach out to us directly for advice or scaling options.
How easy is it to assemble and disassemble modular terrain sets?
Modular terrain sets from QP3D Wargames are designed for quick and easy assembly. Components often feature snap-fit connections or simple assembly points that don’t require advanced modeling skills. Disassembling them is equally straightforward, making storage and transportation convenient. For optimal results, you may want to use hobby glue for semi-permanent setups or magnetize certain parts for maximum flexibility.
How much do 3D printed terrains and modular terrain sets cost?
The cost depends on the size, complexity, and level of detail.
- Small Accessories: Start at around £10-£20 (e.g., crates, barriers).
- Medium Sets: Typically range from £60-£120, ideal for creating small skirmish boards or adding to larger collections.
- Large and Premium Sets: Can go up to £150 or more, featuring intricate designs like complete cityscapes or elaborate mines.
We occasionally offer discounts during sales like Black Week, so keep an eye on our store for opportunities to save.
Do modular terrain sets come pre-painted or unpainted?
Most sets are sold unpainted, allowing hobbyists to paint them according to their desired themes or match their armies' aesthetics. Painting unpainted models is part of the creative enjoyment for many wargamers. However, if painting is not your preference, we also offer custom painting services upon request for select items.
What’s the shipping time for 3D printed terrain orders?
Shipping times vary depending on the size and complexity of your order.
- Standard Items: Typically dispatched within 1-2 business days.
- Large or Custom Orders: May take 1 weeks for production before shipping.
At QP3D Wargames, we aim for fast and reliable service, and you’ll receive tracking details once your order has been dispatched.
What’s the best way to store modular terrain sets?
To keep your modular terrain sets in excellent condition:
- Use Storage Boxes: Preferably with compartments for smaller pieces.
- Protect from Dust: Use lids or bags to prevent buildup.
- Handle with Care: Avoid stacking heavy pieces on delicate components.
By following these guidelines, you’ll preserve the details and structural integrity of your terrain for years to come.
Can 3D printed terrains withstand heavy usage in gaming?
Yes, our 3D-printed terrains are crafted from durable PLA or resin materials, which are highly resistant to wear and tear. While PLA is ideal for larger structures due to its sturdiness, resin is used for intricate designs that require fine detailing. Both materials are robust enough for regular gameplay, and any accidental damage can often be repaired with glue or paint touch-ups.
