The Theatre of Tragedies

Feudal world terrain in a way you've never seen before - Thracia Rex explored in videographic form! We've finally been able to combine our passion in wargaming hobby and cinematography via our YouTube presence and this battlefield feature is a sign of things to come. Be sure to subscribe for more cinematic showcases of miniatures, model terrain and wargaming in general!

Thracia Rex is a feudal world terrain project we produced for the use of our Horus Heresy games, aiming to create a deeply personalized and thematically coherent gaming setting. From the multi-leveled battlefield to the underground catacomb features, each core element has a narrative that has also put a thematic spin to the played scenarios as objectives or special rules. 

We wanted the board to have a bit of a mysterious aura; was the town originally a medieval settlement that was later upgraded with science fiction technology, or the other way around - an advanced society that forgot its ways and deteriorated into primitiveness over centuries? We combined scratchbuilt elements and 3D printed details with plastic and resin parts from Warhammer 40,000, The Horus Heresy, Age of Sigmar, Warhammer Fantasy and more.

Looking back, the entire build between 2020-21 was a pretty mad project, but it's been totally worth it already with all the games and army photoshoots it has provided a setting for! Its value is most importantly in the vibe we still get when we enter our studio space hosting the table - it's the centerpiece for the showroom. Thracia Rex has already set the stage for games of Horus Heresy, Age of Sigmar and Trench Crusade to name a few - who knows what adventures lie ahead!
