Are you looking for a way to add extra immersion to your favorite tabletop games? New startup Snot Goblin Gaming has an elegant and original solution for you in the form of their FutureProof Modular Terrain. Described by its creator as “LEGO, but for Wargaming”, these push-to-fit terrain units are designed to be low-cost, good-looking, and easy to store. And, stunningly, they succeed on all counts – so much so that Wargamer independently awarded the set a 9/10.
Snot Goblin’s offering is far more than the cheap MDF terrain most players will be used to using, being both authentically rugged-looking and durable. In a box of FutureProof Terrain, you’ll get a complete set including full walls, half walls, broken walls, columns, floors, and more. These components allow you to build out a realistic battlefield for a variety of games including Warhammer 40k, Star Wars Shatterpoint, or Marvel: Crisis Protocol.
As any dedicated wargamer will know, making your own terrain can be a long and arduous process, and not everyone has time for it. Prebuilt options, meanwhile, often make big promises but turn out limited and frustrating. Enter Snot Goblin Gaming, a small firm started by a former Green Beret, who’s looking to fill the gap in the market for players who want adaptable and affordable terrain sets.
Infinite combinations
The nature of the modular pieces offered by Snot Goblin is that there are almost infinite combinations of pieces in different shapes and sizes. Each wall piece is reversible on all axes, allowing for varied facades tailored to your specific battles. No glue or tools are required to put together FutureProof terrain – simply push together the pieces to assemble easily and intuitively.
Easy-to-read instructions are provided, and there are even video tutorials available for those looking to replicate Games Workshop tournament layouts. Even without instructions, the pieces are built intuitively and are sturdy to boot, so you shouldn’t have any problems assembling some killer terrain, no matter your level of experience.
Versatile aesthetic
Snot Goblin’s terrain is beautifully designed with a realistically battle-damaged, gothic-style design that adds some real character to your tabletop. Effort’s been devoted to making the pieces setting agnostic – decorated with skulls, swords, steel plates, and masonry – meaning that they can be made to suit any setting, whether fantasy or science fiction.
One overlooked advantage of FutureProof terrain is that it collapses small. The compact components break down into single-story chunks or stacks of individual pieces, meaning they can easily be stored out of sight. A Half Table set fits snugly inside an 8.1L box with plenty of room to spare.
Great value
Not only does FutureProof Terrain look great, but it’s also easy on your wallet. Starting at just $29, a FutureProof Modular Terrain set costs less than half the price of a comparable full set of Games Workshop terrain. Further adding to the value is the fact that FutureProof terrain pieces are sturdy, made of durable, injection-molded ABS plastic, with each component designed to last a lifetime. Snot Goblin even reckons you can stand on their pieces… but advise that you don’t try it!
Competition ready
FutureProof Modular Terrain is designed with competitive players in mind, with the ability to mimic terrain in upcoming events down to the inch. This makes it perfect for tournament practice and wargaming clubs, being compatible with all the major tournament circuit terrain layouts, even as they change and evolve over time
Improves gameplay
Designed with the rules of Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar in mind, the terrain sets feature clearly delineated boundaries, solid walls, windowed walls, a ‘True Line of Sight’, which is further enhanced for 40k players with the 10th edition and Templates Pack add-on. FutureProof terrain is also adaptable, meaning you can reconfigure to suit new terrain rules and always be battle-ready.
If you’re ready to step up your tabletop game with some FutureProof terrain, there are two options available. The Half Table Set is perfect for 1000-point Incursion-sized games of 40k, skirmish games, combat patrol, Kill Team, and dioramas and is best suited to 30×44″ tables.
The Full Table Set is perfect for 60×44″ tables, for 2000-point Strike Force games, dense Hive City layouts for Necromunda, and Kill Team. There’s also the 10e (GW) Templates Pack, which includes enough components to recreate all Games Workshop GT mission layouts, and the 10e (WTC) Templates Pack, which includes enough templates to recreate all WTC mission layouts.
If you want to spice up your games of 40k, Necromunda, Firefight, Bolt Action, or any other tabletop miniatures game, then FutureProof terrain is a versatile, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing option.
