Shardstone City: Shattered Streets - Printable Folding Ruins

Welcome, Adventurers!

Shardstone City 2: Shattered Streets offers a 3D printable set of 80 corner ruins which print flat, fold together and can be disassembled and packed together for easy storage and transport. This also makes them fast and affordable to print!

This sequel to the original hit campaign "Shardstone City" focuses on adding dozens of low-rise corner ruins to the terrain set - these were a common request from backers and are a great way to fill a gaming table really quickly. The ruins fold together and are secured with a simple cornerstone clip to hold them in place. There are multiple clips, so you can pose the corner ruins at different angles to match the street layout on a gaming mat.

Skirmish games set in ruined cities benefit from having a lot of scenery, so this kickstarter offers a new & unique approach to providing practical gaming terrain for your tabletop so you can print a whole tabletop of terrain quickly and store/ transport it with ease too.

If you are new to Shardstone City and want to jump straight in and get a great value digital STL file bundle of 200 foldable ruins, select the "Shardstone City 1 & 2" reward level to get 80 corner ruins from this campaign, along with 120 larger ruins, an extensive modular gaming table and 5 Decoration Packs from the original campaign, and all unlocked stretch goals from this campaign.

If you're a veteran from the first campaign, or only want one of the themes, select one of the lower priced rewards, I recommend the Shattered Streets level to get all 80 of the new ruins from this campaign, along with all unlocked "bonus ruins" stretch goals.

These are six great features of these printable ruins:

1. Easy to store and transport - The ruins print flat and fold together, using simple clips or floor pieces to clip together. This means that the entire set can be disassembled and packed tightly for storage and transport, perfect for taking to a club or gaming store, minimizing the space it takes up in storage. If you're organizing an event, tournament or campaign and need multiple terrain tables, Shardstone City is the way to go!
2. High quality - Goodbye horizontal print lines! Printing flat on the print bed avoids the usual highly visible and uniform horizontal layer lines common with FDM printing. Enable ironing on top surfaces in your slicer settings for a smooth plaster finish on the walls, or add some thin modelling putty to replicate a plaster effect. On the underside, a textured build plate can be used to create a bumpy plaster texture on the interior walls, ideal for painting techniques such as ink washes and drybrushing.
3. Easy to paint - The buildings are designed with 4 distinct parts - wood, stonework, plaster and metal. Printing the buildings flat means that they can also be painted flat, which makes them very easy to spraypaint with colour primer, pick out stone and wood in a different colour and then apply washes and highlights. Airbrushing is even easier!
4. Quick to print, low material usage - Due to the unique flat-print & folding design, a modern FDM printer can print a ruin in a few hours and a full gaming table of terrain in the space of a week. Here is a slicer example showing a basic ruin, only 20g of filament used and under 2 hours to print! With a single spool of PLA you can print 20 ruins in 2-3 days. 
5. No supports are needed on any of the buildings, even overhangs which would need support on normal 3d printed pieces work fine with these, so balconies and intricate window panes print really well!

Overall, this whole project is designed to help gamers get a good-looking table full of terrain from the printer to the gaming table as quickly and easily as possible with minimal filament usage and print time.

A selection of free samples to test print can be found here on the Warscape Webstore, so you can try before you buy!

Stretch Goals
