Looks good, not sure about the glossy paper though. I chose glossy to have a plasticy feel to it but now seeing the reflection on the wooden floor... not sure. What do you guys think?

TerrainLinx - quick flooring test
So here it is something I managed to do this morning. A Malifuax character on a building floor stuck to a core foam tile.

TerrainLinx from WorldWorks Games
As some of you may know, me and two of my mates are involved in running a local gaming club, Call of Dice.
We have couple Warmachine and Malifaux players and we decided we need nice terrain for those systems. But building scenery is something I never excelled at. I like doing it, but it usually turns out half as good as I imagined or I manage to screw it up in the process. So i turned to Google for help and found these guys...
I know what some of you might say, that it made out of paper and will look crap. But actually what I find brilliant about it is the design, repeatability and ease of build.
What we need in the club is scenery that could change from week to week, or even from game to game. We are a bit limited on the amount of space that we can have in the pub's storage. When I saw how little space these boards take up I was hooked. With this system you can build floor tiles, buildings filled with props, multi-leveled buildings and bridges. Every building can be set up in many different ways, your imagination and amount of elements your only limit. And when you run out of walls, for instance, or they get damaged; simply print them out, cut them out and glue them together! K.I.S.S.!
This is a quick mock up with what models I had at hand. I built these two walls in matter of 5 minutes, mind they are my first TLX builds. I have used double sided tape instead of glue as I'm worried about warping. The bits are not perfect, because I used 200gsm paper and 110gsm is recomended.
As you can see they scale up perfectly even with 40k models. When I get some time and do floor tiles, pillars and another set of walls I will post pictures so you can see how awesome it looks.
Now, how expensive was it to buy? Not very. £7 for a PDF with all instructions and loads of different elements. You can obviously print them as many times as you want. So, £7 can give you a tablefull of terrain! And with the interchangeability of elements the possibilites are endless!
