Come see the new cool line of grim dark terrain from your table top that’s straight outta the PC game Dawn of War! 28mm Black Site X and Rapid Vanguard terrain is here!
produced by Death Ray Designs (formerly Brush 4 Hire)
Death Ray Designs is producing 2 brand-new lines of laser-cut wargaming terrain currently on Kickstarter. They are planning to use funds generated from this campaign to upgrade equipment and pursue distribution to local gaming stores. Pledge levels include 2 different sizes of bundles for both lines, pledges for painted terrain and a pledge level for retailers.
The Rapid Vanguard set steps in line with the Sci-fi Gothic aesthetic, while pushing the bounds of what is currently seen in laser-cut terrain with layered materials to create raised and more easily painted details.
Black Site X is a highly functional, modular catwalk and platform system. With hexagonal platforms and buildings that stack and link together with bridges, stairs and a variety of other add-ons, it’s a very versatile set. There are so many possible configurations that it’s easy to make each game feel fresh and different.
The first wave of add-ons adds a large structure for each terrain set. This wave also includes 3 different pieces of scatter terrain/objectives suitable for either set.

About this project
Black Site X and Rapid Vanguard are two highly detailed lines of wargaming terrain. These sets will bring your battles to life and unleash your inner hobbyist.
We plan to use the funds raised during this campaign to buy faster cutting equipment and move into a larger location to get more products cut faster and pursue distribution in local game shops. This will make our products more available, more affordable and faster to ship.
Each line will have it’s own track for freebies and unlockable add-ons. She our Stretch Goal section for more details.
