PrismaCast terrain looks amazing! Always Board and Dana Howl have videos out showcasing the pre-painted terrain.
Here’s the technology behind it:

Now, I’m a do-it-yourself kind of guy, and I often pinch pennies unnecessarily. But the value and ready playability of these sets looks worth the price if you’re in the market for that type of terrain.
I wouldn’t say that if the paint jobs weren’t up to snuff, but after watching those videos, I’d say the product looks legit.
3D printing terrain works pretty well, but it’s a slow process and then requires paint to look it’s best. The new Dungeons & Lasers line looks great right out of the box.
Am I going to buy any? Nope. I’m DragonLock-ed into my current systems. But if I was just starting out, yeah, maybe. They look great and are very modular with lots of great variety. Can you make square-for-square-accurate recreations of classic game tiles? It doesn’t look like it, so maybe that would bug me. But if you’re looking for beautiful terrain to put on the table immediately, there’s no better option that PrismaCast.
