I've liked TCP since it was first proposed, although it doesn't flow as well as TLX (owing to TCP's reversal of motion at the front of the mouth and the general ease of pronouncing liquids).

Denny, could you possibly post a few close-ups of the clips in use. On the overview shots of the sets in the promo adds, the clips are completely invisible. I'd love to see how transparent they are closer up. Also, on floor pieces connected by clips, will the thickness of the clips affect mini placement?
Cheers,

That's coming at the GenCon reveal Afet. The "Chicken or the Egg" paradox of tangible manufacturing made having actual product photographed for packaging impossible (which is frustrating because the product has so much more potential than what you're seeing here). The clips are clear and very thin, they have a negligible effect on minis placement.

Due to the chaos of the schedule were pretty much in lock-down mode on all things TerraClips until the GenCon reveal.

*edit* added additional notes.

Thanks, Denny. Btw, we've plugged Terraclips over at the FDG forum as well. I really hope this turns out to be a fantastic success for you all, and that your first appearance at GenCon (this is the first time right?) is a great experience.
Cheers,

Thanks Afet. We all have high hopes that this will bring something fresh to the market and by proxy attract more people to some of our older work as well. Stop by the booth and say hi if you happen to be around.

OK, I've been going over the info on the first page and I can't find any Ramps in the product lists, even though the photo shows one for streets of Mayhem.

Ya know...you're absolutely right Not sure how we missed that one but there are 2 ramps included with streets.

Ooh, 2

I was happy hoping for 1

I've been trying to figure out if TerraClips can have curved walls and the only solution I came up with is 6-8 angled bends for a curved that has the "jaggies". Denny, has curved walls been considered and is there a better solution than than mine?

There is a way to handle curves but I can't get into it here. I suppose all that I can say is that I've considered it and I have a pretty straightforward way to deal with it in this format (if we can shoehorn it into a potential future release).

You're going to need curves for when you do boilers and vats and so on for the Malifaux steamworks kit...aren't you

Already hearing positive rumblings from our Ozzie distributors, there's going to be a healthy demand for it down here. My gaming group is already squabbling about Malifaux crews, but we all agree on using this terrain.

My guess is bends in the cardboard, like the Creases in the middle of a gameboard. As I recall they are rather expensive though.

I can't remember if the it's the cost of the crease or the size of the board which leads most hobby game boards to come in multiple pieces.

I'm dying to see the reports from Gencon. I think I've saved up enought to get at least two kits.

Any idea on the shipping costs?

Damn.

If my retail store hadn't closed last year, I would order at least a dozen of these TerraClips sets. This is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for. I had one or two customers that had access to printing the WorldWorks pdfs on color lasers and using the foamcore boards and all that, but most people just would buy the WotC D&D tiles when they came out and settle for that. Now they have started doing *some* 3d tilesets, but nothing like this!

Simply incredible.

Makes me want to find a small storefront and... NO NO NO. I'm done with retailing. Just... make sure someplace in Las Vegas stocks this when it comes out.

Preordered!

(Two sets. If they're as good as they look, I'm sure I'll buy more.)

Hi !

A bit of time off... reading sometimes but not able to answer or look properly...so to begin WOOOOAH !

That's what I was waiting...I've a ton of pdf there to cut and glue but have lately no time...so that is for me right now... I'll look at the cost to ship to spain but I'm quite sure that it has to be a killer to not ask at least one of all... It can be preordered ? where ?

You can buy the sets from the Wyrd Games online store if I'm not mistaken. But before you have that shipped to Spain at your cost, why don't you check out whether some game store in your area, or some Spanish online store for tabletop-/rpg-goods has Wyrd Miniatures' Malifaux in their program? If they do, chances are quite good they'll get the TCP too! My tabletop-store here in Germany will definitely get them, since they get all Malifaux stuff!

Looked through the entire wyrd-games store and didn't see it. Maybe I missed it but I don't think it's up there.

According to Wyrd it will be available at their online store August 5th.

Not in the store yet but details here

Unfortunately for me there's no shop near home (only at flight in the main land)...fortunately for me there's internet and I don't have to wait more for the trip to a bigger city in the main land to have my dosis of games !

I've made the question to 2 online stores I usually buy (one french and one german) to see if some of them will have the product ... if I get no answer in a few days I will ask it to one of the shops in the wyrd home page (for sure the shipping cost to spain will be expensive but I suposse that the cost here in Europe it will be 49$ = 49€ ... so asking it in the USA at leas will be cheaper)

Will wait a bit but !

Wayland Games in the UK have the TerraClips sets on pre-order (and at a good price, too):

I guess the shipping costs will be better from England to Spain as the shippings costs from the US to Spain.

HELL that's cheap!! What happened to the pound!? 32 pounds for 38 Euros!? Practically a giveaway!

Any idea how much a set weighs?

OOOOk ! there i go... the changing rate is good and the shipping cost (and time delivery) will be less....- and I can take a look at the store and see if they have some of the others things I'm triying to find... thanks for the tip !

Anybody knows if we have to buy also the Combo Connector pack or if I buy the 3 sets I would have 3 connectors sets also ? I don't want to have more connectors that needed but don't want to end with a 3 packs to build and notihing to stick it togethe ??

Thanks for all

You receive 1 free connector pack with each individual terrain purchase. So if for example you were to buy 3 sets of Streets, you'd receive 3 full TerraClips connector packs (Each pack contains 40 T-Clips, 40 L-Clips, 40 I-Clips).

But the real question is: How many connectors will we need per pack of terrain? I guess I'd buy one set just to be on the safe side, then add more if I see I need them...

While it depends greatly on what sort of build you're going for, and which set you're using (by and large, the Streets set would use more I-Clips than the Houses, while the Houses would use more T- and L-Clips than the Streets, with the Sewers being somewhere in between), I'm pretty sure that you'll need extra sets of clips - especially if you're wanting to try to use everything at once. On the other hand, if you're going for a standard table size (3x3 (Malifaux) to 4x6 (Warhammer/Warhammer 40k)), then you should be able to do pretty much any build you want after the second or third set without needing any more Clips - which you'll have anyways, since you might need a second set to finish covering the smallest area, and will definitely need three sets to cover the largest (Ignoring Apocalypse setups for 40k, which will eat up as much terrain as you want to throw at it).
Magius out.

Is it to be carried by an African swallow or a European swallow?

OK, after doing some analysis on this, here's what I've found:
Using the Streets set (best coverage out of all the sets), and going for a single level of coverage, you'll need:
3x3 table: 2 sets, and will use 157 T or I Clips (no extra connector sets needed/2 extra Clips sets needed if only using I clips)
4x4 table: 3 sets, and will use 290 T or I Clips (1 set of extra clips needed/5 extra Clips sets needed if only using I clips)
4x6 table: 4 sets, and will use 436 T or I clips (3 sets of extra clips needed/7 extra Clips sets needed if only using I clips).
Hm... Looks like my initial order of 2 each will be a bit light to handle Warhammer/40k, but should cover everything else quite handily.

@uncre8d1: "I don't know... AAAGH!"
Magius out.

That's some heavy number crunching Like you said earlier it ultimately depends on what kind of build you're doing. The free clip pack will cover most peoples needs for smaller builds but if you're planning on going big (Which I suspect many people will) an extra clip pack is definitely recommended.

One thing to keep in mind is that you don't necessarily have to clip every corner of every wall section. Walls anchor to the floor clips as well, the corner clippings are for added support when creating large "lift-off" structures. If its a single level you may not need them.
