Learn how the Sarissa Precision Terrain Tile System lets you build a modular wargaming table with interlocking tiles that break the square-grid convention.
Quick answer
The Sarissa Precision Terrain Tile System is a modular wargaming table solution built from interlocking tiles that let you reconfigure layouts quickly and break away from a standard square grid.
Why a modular tile system beats a fixed board
A fixed gaming table looks the same every game. Modular tiles let you change the battlefield between scenarios without owning multiple tables. The Terrain Tile System uses self-locking edges so tiles stay aligned during play, and you can offset them by 10 cm to create irregular table shapes that add tactical variety.
What you get in the core pack vs. expansion
The 3'x3' Terrain Tile System Pack gives you a full 3x3 foot playing surface with a mix of tile sizes. The Expansion Pack 1 adds 200mm x 200mm tiles to increase layout possibilities. If you already own the core pack, the expansion is a cost-effective way to double your options without buying a second full set.
How to choose your tile system
- Start with the 3'x3' core pack: If you are building your first modular table, the 3'x3' Terrain Tile System Pack gives you a complete 3x3 foot surface with interlocking edges and offset capability.
- Add the expansion for variety: Once you have the core pack, the Expansion Pack 1 adds 200mm x 200mm tiles that let you create larger or more complex layouts without buying a second core set.
- Store tiles in a dedicated drawer: The Terrain Tile Storage Shallow Drawer slides into a Terrain Tiles System Storage Unit, keeping your tiles organized and protected between games. Plan your storage before you expand your collection.
