November 20, 2025 by crew
Join us this year for plenty of wargame terrain-building fun using our Project System! We hope TerrainFest 2025 will inspire and motivate you to elevate the quality of your gaming tables and that by the end of the competition, you won't be playing with shoebox houses and books stuffed under gaming mats!
TerrainFest 2025 Projects
While many of us dedicate significant time to painting our armies, the landscapes we wage battles on often get overlooked. We hope TerrainFest will ignite your passion for crafting and painting terrain, motivating you to craft epic battlefields that complement your formidable armies!
What Types of Terrain Can You Create?
In short, you're free to create anything you desire for any genre of tabletop game.
We're opening up TerrainFest to all kinds of terrain making. You might opt to craft a plethora of scatter terrain pieces to adorn your gaming board, providing essential cover against incoming fire. Alternatively, you could embark on crafting a complete tabletop landscape teeming with houses, woods, fields, and more. Even if you decide to focus on a single terrain piece and complete it over the month, that's a commendable goal that could become a standout feature during your next tabletop escapade.

We eagerly welcome all forms of terrain-making processes, whether it's assembling off-the-shelf kits, crafting kit-bashed marvels, utilising 3D printing or laser cutting, or simply engaging in a creative session of piecing together odds and ends with a fresh coat of paint.
Whether it's the tiniest piece of scatter terrain or the grandest castle build, TerrainFest is there for you to get involved in and we eagerly await the inspiration your unique projects will bring!

…maybe I’ll actually finish those AoS trees
and I’ll finish my broch.
and me my north american forrest board!
finishing anything would be challenge enough for me 😉
I have a lot of buildings of the Ancrabourg range printed I pledged on Kickstarter a couple of years ago. I think I will give them a splash of paint.
Great shout 🙂
I have been meaning to add lights to the interior of my mdf buildings. I have the stuff, just not got around to doing it.
Does adding lighting count for terrainfest?
If you’re adding to a terrain project, sure
I have a ton of Necromunda stuff that could fit this.
Always love seeing Necromunda projects 🙂
I don’t expect to win anything anyway, but £300 seems a lot.
Wouldn’t it be better to split that into £150 and three runners up of £50, or gold, silver and bronze for £150, £100, and £50 instead?
It does seem rather odd having one big prize rather than splitting up as you suggested.
Hurrah, another reason to horde terrain 😛
i plan to return to the world of the walking dead for this
Just in time for my Infinity terrain project! Cheers to everyone involved, and let the best terrain win!
At last! I have been waiting for this to start. I have been gathering materials to make large amounts of what I consider to be essentials – Forests and Rivers. The kind of things that often get overshadowed by more impressive centrepieces, like buildings, but which really help to bring a battlefield to life. My aim is to go from nothing (I don’t currently have anything other than a couple of test pieces I made) to being able to fully cover a 4′ x 4′ playing area.
I recently finished a scratchbuild and have taken lots of pics along the way, can I create a project and document the stages there? Cheers!
Yep, go for it!
Yay. Thanks Brennon 😁
