3D PRINTABLE TERRAIN & MINIATURE KICKSTARTERS – May 2018

One of the great things about our 3D printers, is the 3D terrain we can create.  This is one of the primary reasons I purchased a 3D printer.  Without high-quality files with which to print, the printers are kind of useless.   I’m going to be listing Kickstarters by the time left in their campaigns.  If I missed any, please let me know.  You can find these companies and more in our 3D Terrain directory. Finally, if you are looking at getting into printing terrain, check out this guide on getting your first 3D Printer.  Click here for April’s KickstartersClick here for June’s Kickstarters.

Note: FINISHED Kickstarters are at the bottom of the list.

All Roads Lead to Rome - KickstarterThis Kickstarter has 19 days to go.  This is another extremely thematic pack from Ian Lovecraft.  This features some amazing Roman architectures and miniatures.  For those Gangs of Rome fans, this is pretty much a no-brainer.  If you want some very stylized fantasy pieces, for D&D and other fantasy games, this one has some great terrain for both dungeons (Sewers) and buildings/walkways/roads, plus terrific NPC Miniatures.  This KS really does have it all.  Along with the KS, there are some pretty amazing sounding stretch goals too, like the Roman War Galley, Hippodrome, and Carthaginian War elephants.

Printable Railway Tracks (STL) for the important Gauges!

This Kickstarter has 9 days to go.  This is a new concept.  We’ve seen rail roads as part of terrain, but this is the first I have seen that is entirely dedicated to producing replica rail tracks.

Galactic Wars - printable tabletop vehicles and itemsThis Kickstarter has 12 days to go.  This is another Kickstarter by the ever prolific 3D Print Terrain.  This one features terrain and vehicles for a sci-fi setting.  This looks like it would fit in with most sci-fi settings including Star Wars Legion with its clean lines.

This Kickstarter has 17 days to go.  This features an extended goblin village along with the cute little ankle biters that inhabit it.  This has some great looking goblin-esque buildings  for a full village.  On top of that, is a line of 3D Printable miniatures like their previous Townsfolke Kickstarter, but all Goblins.

3D printable forts, castle and more for miniaturesThis Kickstarter has 24 days to go.  Eslo has created some very interesting terrain in the past and is back with a 3D Printable historic/fantasy castle.  This also features a desert castle and Asian Fortress.  It is 28mm, but he has conversion percentages down to 10mm.

Apocalypse WOWThis Kickstarter has 28 days to go.  This kickstarter features a number of post-apocalyptic pieces that would be great in games like Gaslands or Fallout and many other sci-fi games out there.  There is a torn up road building set that looks outstanding.  A dilapidated outpost with all the pieces needed, plus airport and water plant terrain.  The first two stretch goals are unlocked as well.

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A 3D PRINTER FOR THIS KICKSTARTER TERRAIN?

For those of you in this boat, I created a guide on how to get prints done if you don’t own one, plus a selection of printers that would be great for this kind of work.
