Read on to see what makes Recon Terrain different…
Balance
Recon Terrain was designed to be balance of Playability, Aesthetics and Costs allowing players from hobbyist and casual to competitive to enjoy the product.
Playability
Recon Terrain was designed to maximize the playability by featuring “flat” top surfaces, standard 1” increments, stackable sizes, and optimal cover. The terrain has very little growth at the base allowing miniatures to fit near the terrain without being exposed.
Aesthetics
Being functional does not have to come at cost visually. Recon Terrain was crafted to look great on the table with several distinct styles and plenty of detail for both the casual and experienced hobbyist. Each style has high detail to catch every brush stroke and places to apply flocking and other distinct details.
Cost
Careful considerations where made to create an quality product at a reasonable cost. Several options of packages allow the product to fit any budget and can be expanded anytime.
From the box to the table
Recon terrain is made with a matte finish give it a softer, more organic, feel. The details and carefully picked colors allow the terrain to look great right out of the box.
Stacking
Hill tops have surface details but still allow other hills, trees and miniatures to be set securely on top.
Each starter kit was designed to maximize potential stacking opportunities providing more options when building your battlefield.
Style & Color
Recon Terrain hills are offered in 3 distinct styles
Stone - heavily textured top surface and rocky sides
Plateau - light cracked top and rocky sides
Canyon - Light pitted top and sweeping textured sides
Each hill style has a “standard” color but can be ordered in any of the 5 colors (alternate colors may cause an extended lead time).
