This is the headline act: a modular MDF trench system that builds out a full 4’x4′ battlefield with layouts you can remix every game. The set includes 18 pieces in paired sizes (from 4×6 up to 12×14), and the nesting design means it stores without eating your entire hobby shelf.
Four ladder lengths (two, three, four, and five inches) might sound simple, but ladders are one of those terrain pieces that instantly create decisions. They let you fight verticality in ruins, trench walls, towers, and barricades, and they work cleanly across Trench Crusade, 40k, Bolt Action, andThe Old World style tables.
These Down markers solve a classic table problem: models lying on their side look dramatic for about five minutes, then they just become clutter and accidental measurements. A small set of clear, easy-to-read tokens keeps the battlefield legible, speeds up status checks, and prevents the classic “wait, is that model dead or just chilling?”
Alternating activations are awesome until someone forgets who already moved, and suddenly, you are in the “I swear I didn’t activate that unit twice” courtroom drama. These activation tokens are the simple, clean fix: drop one next to a model or unit after it goes, and you keep the turn moving without mental bookkeeping.
Tracking Blood, Blessing, and Infection can get messy fast if you are juggling multiple tokens and scribbles. A dial that tracks one through six gives you quick, visible state changes without table clutter, and the red oak finish is a classy little flex that still fits grimdark boards.
Duckboards and trench bridges add that gritty “yes, this place is a nightmare” realism while also creating functional routes through mud, sludge, and crater zones. Each section is five inches long, MDF, and comes in sets of three, six, or twelve, which makes it easy to scale up based on how big your trench network gets.
