****Please have the A-Team theme tune playing as you read this****
In 2023, a crack Terrain Building unit was sent to HQ to fill a table with terrain goodness by Ronnie for a crime they didn’t commit (probably). These men armed with glue guns, paint brushes and snippers promptly challenged each other to a build-off, each with having a different theme in mind! Today, still wanted by the government (and HR), they survive as painters of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them - maybe you can hire...
The TerrAin-Team.

Martin here…and I love terrain. You love terrain. We all love TERRAIN – ARRRGHHHHHHH!!!
A few of us here at Mantic wanted to show the world how diverse Terrain Crate is and how simple it is to use for many tabletop games, not just our own, so we sat down to compete in our own Terrain Building Challenge. We each had a couple of hours, a chosen theme and access to the Terrain Crate range to create something AWESOME for 28-40mm sci-fi skirmish games…
