Ein Kickstarter für SF,Fantasy & Gothic Gelände – modular und mit mehreren Ebenen.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wargame-model-mods/the-under-city
Das Projekt:
The Under City is a new gaming system by Wargame-model-mods, it can double your play area and add a new dimension to your games. The set up provides you with a new upper play area supported above your current board using several towers, with your existing board acting as the lower play area.
These towers are very strong with a lattice structure and external cladding, they have large bases making them stable.
I have designed three complete versions for a wide range of games. A medieval / fantasy board, a grim dark / Gothic theme and a scifi / futuristic design, allowing these to be used with a large range of games..
This system is perfect for games such as, 40k, infinity, kill team, necromuda, AOS and other 28mm games.
House Rules:
Some house rules to use this board would be advised, any set with towers come with 2x free lift access points to be placed on the over city above the towers, each tower has an access point on it.
A simple rule such as models can enter either access point to move between the top and bottom tables could be used.
An example would be a model enters the top and then disembarks at the bottom on the same turn, the model has used all its movement and can then shoot or proceed with any abilities as though it had moved.
Towers:
The main parts of this system are the towers, which you add to your existing table and all you will then need is a sheet of wood or similar to use as the board for your over city. For 2 x 4ft or 3 x 4ft (60 x 120cm or 90 x 120cm) tables I recommend 6 towers, for 4 x 4ft or 4 x 5ft (120 x 120cm or 120 x 150cm) tables 9 towers and for 4 x 6ft tables (120 x 180cm) 12 towers.
The towers are spaced 1ft (30cm) apart on the demos as that is the length of the bridges / platforms. The towers can be spaced differently if you are not attaching the bridges.
The configuration of the tower is also optional they do not have to be lined in a grid as per the examples.
Lifts:
To move between the under city and over city. There is a design of lift for each theme.
Any orders with tower will get two free lifts. Extra lifts can be pledged for if desired. They are in the add-on section.
Which Pledge to go for:
The pledged titled under city are just the bottom parts of this set, The towers / walkways and related parts. There several different sizes.
The complete city sets are both the bottom part of the sets and building for the top.
If you are wanting to have a over city supported by the tower you will need to get a sheet of 9mm mdf or similar. Other sheet materials such as plywood, chipboard and plastic will work.
The contents of the sets are listed below.

The under city for this theme is a series of wooden platforms and bridges. The towers are able to support raised platforms that bridges and platforms can be attached to.

The buildings support a range of bridges and walkways to connect them together.The under city is a range of industrial platforms and walkways spread over two raised levels with access via ladders and stairs.
The 8 sided platforms have mounts for 4 items, these can be bridges, steps and other items. Each platform comes with 4 railings that can be mounted in these slots and are removable to swap for other items.

Idee richtig cool, allerdings sehen mir die Gebäude zu flach und platt aus. Das bekommen andere mit dem Material leider wesentlich besser hin.
Kann mich dem nur anschließen. Das geht besser.. 🙁
Das war auch mein erster Gedanke. Die Idee ist toll, aber die Gebäude sagen mir nicht zu.
