Review – Awaken Realms Terrain
We the chance to get my hands on some of Awaken Realm’s gaming terrain from their current Kickstarter – let’s have a look!
So far Awaken Realms was known for their The Edge range, blending Fantasy and mechanical elements into a unique mix. Recently, they launched a Kickstarter campaign for gaming terrain. This includes mainly smaller pieces like portals, totems and barricades.
My review material arrived in this beautiful and stylish metal box:
Inside were five pieces, all packed seperately in bubble wrap. The casting quality is top-notch, with very little flash and only minimal bubbles on the undersides where they don’t matter at all. The material is a bit on the softer side, which I prefer for terrain because it makes it more resilient.
The first one is the Tesla Steampunk objective marker, showing some pretty neat lightning effects:
Also from the Tesla Steampunk range is the Barricades Tower:
The other three pieces are from the Demonic Wastelands range. First, the very impressive Portal with creepy hands coming through:
Next, another Barricades Tower:
I really like the way the flames are sculpted on this range!
Last, but not least, the Demonic Wastelands Objective Marker:
So how big are these pieces? I took the smallest and largest one and put them next to a ruler:
And to better demonstrate the size, I took pictures of the same pieces with a Perry Miniature WW2 soldier, an Anvil Industry UC Marine and an Arena Rex Gladiator:
I am very pleased with these products. They have great character and will be a great addition to your battlefield and the styles suit a lot of games. The sets offered on Kickstarter are an excellent deal and will give you a decent amount of scatter terrain.
Beside the two styles presented here, there are now also three additional sets, Blood and Bones, Floating Crystals and SciFi.
