2024 Holiday Gift Guide

Terrain can be an awesome and unique gift for any miniatures gamer or RPG enthusiast. Well crafted terrain helps populate your player’s table with 3D, interactable pieces of pure immersion, allowing them to elevate their game nights and introduce elements of storytelling and tactical decision making to their play.

But for those not in the hobby, this can be an intimidating task! With unique sizes, tons of industry jargon, and hundreds and hundreds of options available, it’s no wonder many people struggle and scratch their heads to find the perfect gift.

But don’t fret – that’s where your friends at Tabletop Terrain come in. Check out our handy Gift Guide to the 2024 Holiday Season and we’ll get you well on your way to gift that your favorite gamer won’t soon forget.

But, first off, let’s chat a little about why you should trust us with your holiday gift giving.

Here at Tabletop Terrain, we pride ourselves on offering only the highest-quality pieces from modelers and designers we personally trust, in order to produce pieces we’d be proud to put on a personal tabletops. Organized and helmed by a team of trustworthy and innovative tabletop gamers, we work tirelessly to ensure each Tabletop Terrain piece is a model anyone will be proud to add to their collection.

But don’t just take our word for it! Feel free to browse our gallery of over 2,000 verified customer reviews (where we hold a current rating of 4.9 out of 5!).

Okay, first thing’s first! Let’s figure out what type of gamer you’re looking for. If you’re unsure, you could always do a little browsing (or just ask) and find the game. But it’s important to know just what games your intended recipient plays so that we can provide the right recommendations.

Some of this has to do with theme – for example, if your son plays Marvel Crisis Protocol, they’d want comic book inspired, modern terrain. A broken-down wild west outpost just won’t fit in quite right! Additionally, for some games the scale of the terrain is very important. Don’t worry too much about the technicalities here, just know that depending on the game system you’ll need terrain of a specific size for it to work correctly – we’ll get into that in our game specific recommendation below.

Okay, now that you know what system you’re looking for, we’ll break down some of our favorite pieces and provide a few options. First, we’ll talk about a nice gift that anyone playing those games will use. Then, we’ll sprinkle in a couple of stocking stuffer options – nice, low cost items that would be a great add-on. And finally, we’ll include a showstopper piece for each game – these are going to be the jaw-dropping additions that’ll recreate the feeling of opening that first Nintendo or BB gun in Christmases of yore!

For our final guide we'll be venturing to a galaxy far, far away and focusing on compatible pieces of terrain for Star Wars Legion! Lead your X-Wings and troopers through a field of amazing terrain with these awesome gift options.

Any of these terrain options will add tons of variety and style to your favorite Age of Sigmar players life! Our terrain is fully assembled and ready to play straight out of the box for those trying to get some games in as quickly as possible. Or, if you prefer painted terrain, you'll find painting these pieces a breeze - we recommend priming your terrain and starting with some liberal base coats and heavy drybrushing before moving on to pick out the details!
