Deadmans Canyon is LIVE! http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/in ... roduct=209

Designer(s):

Product Description:

Pricepoint: $8.50

Dotting the desert surrounding Deadfall stand wind-worn sentinels of solid stone, the winding path that snakes between them known to the locals as Deadman's Canyon...

WorldWorksGames proudly presents a new addition to the Swift Scenics line! A simple way to create impressive, detailed hills and canyons! Internal braces not only provide much needed support but actually lock the model into shape to prevent warping! And when game time's over, just pop out the braces and stack the hills like russian dolls for easy storage!

Deadman's Canyon includes:

6"x6"x4" Small Bluff in gridless, 1" and 1.5" formats
9"x9"x6" Big Bluff in gridless, 1" and 1.5" formats
9"x9"x4" Plateau in gridless, 1" and 1.5" formats

8" bridge (for 6" gaps) in gridless, 1" and 1.5" formats
5" bridge (for 3" gaps) in gridless, 1" and 1.5" formats

And of course, full robo-cutter support and fully illustrated instructions to guide you through the building process.

Any plans for non-arid skins? I'd buy multiple copies if there was also a verdant version.

Near future is my guess

i really like this swifscenic model!

i won't ever play a cowboy-style gdr but i think i could use those in my fantasy campaigns!

no need for an adjustment in a dark sun-like campaign

it would be nice to have a more... rocky but not sandy texture, that would... ROCK!^^

maybe a good call for a kitbash?

golem101 · **Posted:** 04-19-2012, 04:40 AM

Looking forward both for it and a Hinterland cliffs retexture.

joydyhee · **Posted:** 04-19-2012, 05:40 AM

Looking forward to this. Great job!

Skunkape · **Posted:** 04-19-2012, 07:52 AM

Looks great! Can't wait for it!

It'll fit right in with my weird west campaign!

Squirmydad · **Posted:** 04-19-2012, 09:11 AM

Pretty cool.

I wonder how hard it would be to mod some of those mesas to be twice as wide but keeping the same height...I guess I'll find out after I purchase.

Love this one guys! So many great encounter possibilities! I do have to ask, where do I get the desert floor tile?

Check out the already available Streets of Blood set. The promo images show lots of open desert.

Well the countdown says around 20 hours, so the word you are looking for is perhaps tomorrow?

tiles · **Posted:** 04-19-2012, 05:35 PM

yea, I am hip to streets of blood, just wanted to know if I had to buy the extra set or if a floor tile came with!

Squirmydad · **Posted:** 04-19-2012, 06:58 PM

Eighteen hours...

Akmor · **Posted:** 04-19-2012, 10:47 PM

One question that remains : where do the chariot wheels tracks lead ?

DeltaIce · **Posted:** 04-20-2012, 09:12 AM

Excellent set!!! This is going to be so much fun to work with.

Veskit · **Posted:** 04-20-2012, 10:12 AM

Instabuy for me!

Yes. I'm also thinking of an easy mod to make a simple 1" deep open-bottom box that sets upon two or more of these bluffs to join them into a larger mesa - then the canyon can be a very long and narrow gauntlet.

For you guys I'm always tomorrow for you (Aussie)

I'm happy to say after two attempts to download finally got the file and building now.

(and for a glutton for workload, purchased the Maiden to build, thanks for the sale price)

Uhm... don't know if it's intentional, but the instructions file shows steps only for the Big Bluff piece (nothing for the Plateau or the Small Bluff) and the wooden bridge.

Having some papercrafting skill under the belt and following the basics laid out for the Big Bluff, it doesn't seem too hard to build the other two elements either, but newcomers to the hobby could find it a bit confusing.

CapnG · **Posted:** 04-21-2012, 04:23 AM

Thanks for the support gang!

Definitely a possibility for the future...

I don't think they'll have that much trouble. The Big Bluff is the most complex of the three but they all follow the same construction logic and everything's heavily labelled. Plus you can look at the promo pics for clues and of course you can always ask if you get stuck.

I built all three in beta with no instructions at all and had no problems.

May I ask for a snowy/winter/arctic reskin too? I have way too many tabletop games asking for rocky spires covered in snow...

Good timing on this...

Yesterday a bunch of the minis I ordered for Deadlands arrived, and I was going to get this and SoB when they came out.. So i guess i have to order both of these now... and mels big ship...

An observation: the set could use a long straight piece for creating canyon walls.

While the individual pieces look great they look like just that - individual pieces, and bumping them up against each other to create a long canyon face will likely look a bit off. A long, more or less rectangular, section could be used to create something a bit more natural looking. Better would be two, with one narrower than the other so that they can be stacked to create a ledge.

Of course, if you are planning a TLX expansion to be compatible with this release then a long rectangular piece becomes largely redundant.

This sounds like a perfect geometry kitbash!
