I don't know if anyone has seen this yet: http://www.hawkwargames.com/products/cityscape - $36 at The Warstore.

20 card buildings and 24 1' by 1' road/block tiles. The buildings are pre-cut and folded as well. I'm not sure how well they will scale with Epic, though 10mm looks close enough that I don't think it will detract too much from the overall aesthetic.

The price is great, and if this looks good with Epic, I imagine we are going to see a lot fewer open battlefields (and that will make me happy!)

The buildings will probably be too large. Though the streets will likely be useful. Too bad they released this the day of adepticon. Though i may get noe anyway.

But as Fattdex pointed out... as they're 10mm scale reduce them by 60% when you scan them and, voila!

Reducing works for the print and play versions, but these are pre-printed on heavy card.

They look ok to me - though I haven't assembled one to see he footprint. I was hoping you'd have a set at Adepticon - I didn't consider the release date. :(

I think the roads work out at about 4.5cm for a 1-lane road (i.e. one lane per side).

The buildings come in segments, each segment is 36mm x 36mm. So a 3x2 building is 108mm x 72mm. Floor heights are 17mm for residential buildings and 21mm for commercial buildings.

I have some comparison pics here, at 100% and 66%.

While I agree with you that the scaling brings them down to the size of the Epic buildings, I always thought the detail on the Epic ones was scaled too small. Guess I'll have to print a few out myself and take a look - thanks for the comparisons, SG.

After seeing these in person, yeah, they're too big for 6mm. Too bad, because you can't beat the price.
