Hi folks, thanks very much to all of you who have purchased this terrain from us since Andy made this video. We have decided to temporarily close the website to new orders until we re-open on January 2nd. We were originally planning to extend the discount code through to the end of January but this is now not going to be possible Im afraid. Apologies to anyone who missed out on this promotion
Use spraycans in a colour and a airbrush to shade and pop up some things and you get it done to a table top lvl really fast!!! This mdf stuff is super cool! I got mu self some from a other company but what they can do these days with a lazercutingmachine is just awesome!
Hey Alex, I’m really well thanks and everything is fine. Just had some real world work stuff take over my January! I’ve uploaded a video to go live tomorrow evening so normal service is back! Thanks for asking buddy.
Looks very nice. As with many of these products I would love some 1 and 2mm "detail" sheets to give a bit nore depth to some of the pieces. I think I would be tempted to build a few permanant core buildings with some extra details (pipes, plants, etc) and then join them together with some of the standard pieces. But then I just like big detailed terrain :D
BlackJack Legacy I've suggested it to a few companies in the past without too much interest from them :D However I personally feel a few overlay bits for walkways, control pannels, scrollwork for walls or signs etc would really help make some of the laser cut terrain pop. You could probably even do some of it lasering card rather than wood to save cost and weight (plus speeding up lasering time!).
Good info video as always. The only MDF stuff I have bought before are paint racks. My question is about painting this stuff as out of the packet, all MDF terrain just looks like dirty cardboard to me. There is printed detail on it from what I can see, but how does this stuff paint up in your opinion?
cheers buddy. I'm not 100% sure yet to be honest as I've never painted it. I've seen it on other channels and I think the trick is to not just paint it one flat colour. A little weathering will help I think.
Painting MDF isn't as hard as everyone thinks it is. You basically just need a good, FLAT rattle can primer. A couple of light coats, and you're ready to paint as if it were made of any other material. To take it another step, you can "seal" it after priming with a matte clear varnish of some sort. This makes sure that the MDF is sealed in, and doesn't try to soak up the new paint.
I used 2 sets and at the time that was a total of £126. No idea if the sets have changed how much is in them or their price since Warcradle bought out Red Beam.
Very cool! 👍🏻 Do the magnets come already in place, or do you have to place it yourself? Im intrigued with that head on the space marine... Where does it come from? Great video. 👍🏻
Very nice review!? So are the holes where you put the magnets in already in those pieces of mdf? Cant wait to see this painted up! So what stuff do you use be for you use primer because i think thag mdf would suck up a lot of primerpaint!
Thanks! Yeah the holes are already there so everything lines up perfectly. You can give the mdf a coating of PVA before priming however I've been advised to just use a cheap pound store primer and that should be fine. I'll do a video on the painting when I get round to it.
Ill try the cheap primer have loads of those layen around here its time to make some use of them! Thanks for the comment! Ps are those real ReD curtains or do you use a green screen!?
good video, tried to place an order last week, but its closed till after December. bit silly if your 10 percent offer runs out at the end of December, hope they still give me the discount in January
No videos yet buddy but will make some when I get painting it. I assume it was 2017 and hasn't been updated yet. Its definitely available right now as the owner gave me the 10% off code to share so no issues if you order it. Mine came about a week after ordering it.
I think the shipping was approx £30 to Canada so with the discount it may bring it down to a reasonable cost for you. Have you contacted Red Beam to check?
I'm all good thanks for asking. Just had a little break over Christmas and then have some real world work stuff taking up all my time but will be back with a new video in the next week I promise. :)
What items did you buy to make that fantastic setup you show him the video. Just want to know exactly what the cost would be. The only downside is that this is britain-based and I'm in Canada at the shipping is going to kill me
I bought one of the Secondary Tiers and 2 x Primary Tiers. I'm not 100% sure on the shipping but hopefully the 10% off code might help offset that for you.
Even Im not but I suspect it will be about £30 unfortunately as the shipping costs to places like Canada and the US are really high for us Im afraid. What we tend to find is people grouping together for an order to split the postage
Hi Steve, I think it was £126 for this but if you use the discount code in the description you can save another 10%. Red Beam have extended the code until the end of January.
EarlGrey that’s fair enough if you enjoy building it but if it a means to getting a good looking board quickly then it has its place. I think your analogy would be better suited to it’s like eating a meal you haven’t cooked yourself. If you love cooking great but if the point is to eat the food (or in this case play the game) then it’s all good 👍🏼
Hey man it was only recently that I have ever used MDF kits, a paint rack and it was strange for me to put it together. Did you magnetise yourself or does it come with it? Also would you like to check out my review of the MDF kit I'm talking about th-cam.com/video/fLBADSWMR3Y/w-d-xo.html
That is an amazing looking bit of kit and didnt quite realise about the magnets which makes it truly useful all manner of games
Yeah the magnets were a great selling point for me as I need to break it down and store it and also want to be able to change the layout too 👍🏼
Great video, that's a lot of terrain. Didn't realise in the pictures how much there was. Truly great.
Thanks mate. Yeah there’s a lot of stuff there and is really flexible for lots of games.
Awesome vid mate, the terrain looks really good and makes for a great looking board. Cheers.
Thanks buddy. I'm really pleased with the purchase.
Thanks for making the video Andy and really pleased to see you liked another one of our products :-)
You’re welcome! It’s a great product and only too happy to make sure others find out how good it is too.
So any direction on a site that sells this product
Red Beam Designs where can I buy your stuff
Hi Bill. The company was recently sold to Warcradle Studios so you could maybe contact them to see if they plan on continuing to produce it.
Looks really awesome, now we know why you have been a bit quiet lately lol NECRONS!!
Yeah - in between a really busy work period and building this it hasn't left much time!

Brilliant terrain and brilliant review mate... Will defo look at buying some of this if I ever get my other scenery painted :)
Cheers mate. Enjoy the Easy Metal weekend!

This mdf stuff is super cool!
I got mu self some from a other company but what they can do these days with a lazercutingmachine is just awesome!
Thanks for the tip buddy!
Great video man, it really is a great bit of kit
Not bad is it - I'm really happy with it.
Very informative, thank you.
Looks like good stuff. Will have to invest in some I think. Thanks.
Glad you like it.
Great kits Andy! I know where I would go if I needed some now :)
I haven't got the skills to make one like yours mate so buying them was a better option for me.
Pretty cool stuff! Thanks for sharing
Thanks man .... glad you liked it.
Fantastic product - great quality !!!!
Its truly great stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy.
Just 'checking in'... haven't seen anything from you for a while, and am hoping everything is okay with you and yours? All the best, Alex

I like the idea of detail bits - might suggest that to Red Beam!

Definitely. There has to be a market for it surely??

Great review, thanks for your efforts
Thanks Peter. Really appreciate you comment.
Nice work
Very cool! 👍🏻 Do the magnets come already in place, or do you have to place it yourself? Im intrigued with that head on the space marine... Where does it come from? Great video. 👍🏻
Question answered on the magnets... Wrote the comment before the end of the video 😁
no worries buddy
Very nice review!?
So are the holes where you put the magnets in already in those pieces of mdf?

Ill try the cheap primer have loads of those layen around here its time to make some use of them!
Thanks for the comment!
Ps are those real ReD curtains or do you use a green screen!?
They're real red curtains - Ikea's finest!
Fantastic mate
Cheers Dan.
good video, tried to place an order last week, but its closed till after December. bit silly if your 10 percent offer runs out at the end of December, hope they still give me the discount in January
Hey Silver Hunting thanks. Yeah they’ve had to close over Xmas but the offer code has been extended until the end of January. 👍🏼
BlackJack Legacy fantastic !
Looks pretty amazing. How long would you say gluing it all took?
I’d estimate about 9hrs work over 3-4 days but that much plastic terrain would have taken way longer to clip out and clean up before glueing.
For sure. And you do have quite a lot of it! Thanks :)
I'd love to see how this stuff paints up.. any video on this? Also site says it's a pre order released in June was that 2017 or 2018? Lol that matters
No videos yet buddy but will make some when I get painting it. I assume it was 2017 and hasn't been updated yet. Its definitely available right now as the owner gave me the 10% off code to share so no issues if you order it. Mine came about a week after ordering it.
Thanks looking forward to seeing some painted up pieces to see how the detail shines, I live in US so high shipping rate but I'm halfway sold already
I think the shipping was approx £30 to Canada so with the discount it may bring it down to a reasonable cost for you. Have you contacted Red Beam to check?
Everything okay, Jack? Been a while since you've posted a new video. Hope all is well.
I'm all good thanks for asking. Just had a little break over Christmas and then have some real world work stuff taking up all my time but will be back with a new video in the next week I promise. :)

Considering the weight thats not bad.
Since the red beam guys are here, how do you ship courrier or royal mail. if courrier, which one?
Mine came by courier in the UK so would assume courier to Canada.
Great review!! How much would you estimate that lot would cost?
Hey Russell thanks man. It cost £126 if I remember correctly.
Amazing
It’s nice stuff. The company was bought out by Warcradle Studios so it is still available to buy now.
Very cool! 👍🏻
Thanks 👍🏼
Great video
Cheers Joseph
Anybody know if this measures up well, in terms of floor height, with the OG Necromunda terrain?
Hey Lenriak, I’ve not got access to the original stuff but it fits well with the new Sector Mechanicus stuff.
i ordered some!
You won't be disappointed Kevin. Let me know what you think when it arrives.
Nice video mate :)
Thanks buddy!
Sorry if someone has already asked this, but how much would that entire setup cost?
Hi Steve, I think it was £126 for this but if you use the discount code in the description you can save another 10%. Red Beam have extended the code until the end of January.
How well does the terrain paint up?
Looking for the company. Is it still open
The company was bought out but the product is still available from the new company here - www.waylandgames.co.uk/5637-dark-assembly
Buying Terrain is like paying someone to go watch movies for you. You're missing out on the most fun part of the hobby.. building your world!

I think your analogy would be better suited to it’s like eating a meal you haven’t cooked yourself. If you love cooking great but if the point is to eat the food (or in this case play the game) then it’s all good 👍🏼
Well I am a slut for magnets. Will check this out.
Haha - they're awesome aren't they :)
Star wars terrain nice kamino lol
Definitely!!!
You know what Id never thought of it for that! Awesome idea!
Red Beam Designs just need slave one ship and obi wan kenobi on it
Hey man it was only recently that I have ever used MDF kits, a paint rack and it was strange for me to put it together. Did you magnetise yourself or does it come with it?
Also would you like to check out my review of the MDF kit I'm talking about th-cam.com/video/fLBADSWMR3Y/w-d-xo.html
Hey buddy. Not 100% sure what you mean. If you mean the instructions to build it then they are available on the Red Beam Designs website.
BlackJack Legacy sorry man did talk to txt and it didn't make sense I've edited it now.
I bought it with the magnets but you can buy without if you already have them. The kit comes with all of the magnet holes already pre drilled.
BlackJack Legacy that's really cool tbf
First
Boooooom - too right you were!
