It is more portable and comes with a nylon carry bag with internal pocket (!!).

It is lighter than my MDF construction.

The home-built version will take you probably a weekend.

The only time required is however long it takes to dodge the Redshirts trying to sell you Stormlords (usually 30-45 minutes).

These are some advatages of the GW board: In fact, it is incredible in its detail and durability however I don't believe it is worth the $450 AUD that you pay for it. Now the GW board is definitely not a bad piece of terrain. Which is what I'm about to show you that you can do as well.

In fact, I wager that I could build the board from scratch, buying the tools and materials, and 'paying' my hourly wage and STILL come out ahead of GW's board in pricing. As our club's resident terrain guru I know exactly how much effort I'd need to put into making this board, and I can say that you can build an equivalent board for 20% or less of the price. Frankly, I was a little insulted when they released this overpriced piece of plastic. I chose this project to do, due to the release of the Realm of Battle Board by GW. Hi everyone and welcome to my first attempt at a terrain tutorial.
