Why should I choose Brutal Cities for MDF terrain?

 I am so passionate about terrain and design, that I left my career in architecture to launch Brutal Cities. As a small business you have a direct line to the owner-operator, and I legitimately really care about giving you the best experience. I can’t promise you the fastest response times compared to larger companies, but I have the best laser on the market and the most innovative terrain designs. I’m always striving to improve our service to you and our terrain products. I reckon  we make the highest quality MDF terrain Australia has to offer - but check out the reviews to see for yourself!

How is my tabletop gaming experience enhanced with your wargaming terrain?

A lot of people play several tabletop games, and wargaming terrain can take up a lot of space. If you’re playing a game like 40k, which often has a distinct style, you can’t use that terrain for other games such as Infinity or cyberpunk skirmish games. Brutal Cities kits are designed with flexibility and gameplay in mind. The minimalist, brutalist-inspired designs lend themselves to any setting from the 1960s pulp gaming to sci-fi settings and even work as fortress-like structures for 40k and Horus Heresy games. By using Brutal Cities terrain, you get amazing value - and you don’t need to buy and paint more terrain when you start a new game. Alex from 52 Miniatures even made a video about using Brutal Cities for fantasy settings! I only have so much space here, but you can read our terrain blog for some insight into the terrain designs available.
