Paper Terrain?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I'm just getting into Legion after having owned my Rebs for two years (please don't judge me too hard!) and wanted to know y'all's thoughts on paper terrain. Stuff like the terrain packs for Infinity or even the stuff you can print out yourself. 

Do you think it'd be viable? Its certainly quick and could be pretty interesting. Not to mention maybe cheaper depending on how you get it done.

My thoughts on papercraft is that it works well - immersion-wise - so long as most or all of your terrain is papercraft. It doesn't work as well if you mix plastic/resin pieces, though foamcore can work just fine. Drivethru RPG has a variety of printable terrain for sale, cheap or even free in some cases.

In practical terms, straight paper terrain is inexpensive and fairly easy to transport. It's main downsides are that it's lightweight and thus easily displaced from a bump. Some pieces may not be braced sufficiently to support heavier models. And while printed surface detail can be excellent, wall thickness and lack of texture can lower immersion.

Many of those drawbacks can be attenuated through careful choices, or through adding weights or cardboard/foamcore backings to your pieces.
