Hi guys.

I am the designer of an upcoming 3D terrain system called Lorescape. Its a 32mm (~1.25 inch) injection moulded, interlocking and stacking hex system which we believe will be suitable for Battletech maps, given its high customizability and ease of use creating terrain with height relief etc.

here are some alpha tiles, which are just plain colours:



And a pre-production prototype sample, with printed textures on the tiles.



We are looking for some regular, experienced Battletech players to get some free kits, experiment with them, and give us feedback. We arent battletech players, so I know there is a lot of insight we could get from some people who are. We are Europe based, so European players would be preferable, but USA is possible if not.

Thanks!

James

Those look AMAZING.

I'm in Canada, but I'd love to get my hands on those. And I know my local group would help as well.

Well that's great; we are especially looking for people who play in groups and can get some more extensive feedback. We already have one person in Canada being sent a test kit so it's not all that big an issue.

I will DM you some details.

I'll be assist-GMing a game this weekend, and will speak to the head GM about this... it looks VERY cool! :)

Some images of an actual map set up using Alpha tiles. beta tiles for the testing will be more natural plastic colours and have high-resolution printed surfaces







Next week I am going to a wargaming shop to meet a group of battletech players and we will play an actual game on the product so I'll have some images of that soon.

 :cheesy: even at the prototype stage, they look really good.
