Dwarven Forge alternatives

[tennyson]

Hi Everyone,

I know this was posted before, but I can't seem to find it. As much as I would like it, my brother and I simply can't afford Dwarven Forge accessories. Someone posted a link to an alternative that bore a striking resemblance to the more expensive counterparts. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the product ("Mage" something?). Does anyone recall this product?

Thanks!

Might be the MageKnight dungeons set -- check the WizKids site, and I'm sure that you'll find it there somewhere.

Might I suggest Skeleton Key Games stuff?

skeletonkeygames.com

E-Adventure Tiles might fit yer bill!

You could also try Ainsty. Very well made products at reasonable prices.

I remember that thread, I also remember replying to it.

I did a price breakdown - cost per piece, and found out that Dwarven Forge was cheaper on that scale.

So in the end I got Dwarven Forge off of eBay.

That said, here are the competing brands:

Grendel Resins - Scenery, doors, bridges, and so on.

Hirst Arts - the people who make the molds Dwarven Forge and others use.

Miniature Building Authority: Gives you modular fantasy towns where DF gives you dungeons.

Mystic Modular - Dwarven Forge compatable dungeon blocks (different sculpts than DF).

These are 3cm per square where they should be 25mm... so they won't match up with competing products.

I've seriously considered building a 3-D dungeon out of Legos ...
