Has anybody had a look at this new GW Realms of Battle yet?

I can't make up my mind about it myself. When I heard it was coming out, I was very excited, but not sure how I feel about it now.

The idea of interconnecting tiles to make up a nice wargames terrain has always been a good one, but the ROB takes so much work to get it too a useable state !

Given that the set costs £150 its a bit hard to then buy all the flock etc and labour for hours getting it ready.

But the end results could be good I'd guess - so maybe worth it.

I've certainly got some of the GW hills and the forest, and they have to be painted and flocked etc, but once done, they are great bits of kit.

The trouble is - now I've got all these hills and what have you, I tend to just use them on the GW grass matt thing, and it all looks pretty great. I'm not sure I have a need for the Realms of Battle.

But, if they expand the range, to inlcude other tiles you can buy to add to it - rivers etc etc, then it might be worth a go.

Any one else got an opinion on this?

By the way - you can get the ROB through me, just shout if you want it, as usual price will be well under what GW charge.

VIDEO

I'm planning on doing a quick YouTube vid later and linking to it from my home page - nothing spectacular, just a chance for visitors to see who I am etc, so they know I'm a real person and not just a 'cyber dude'.

Lets see how I get on.

All the best and mind how you go.
