Modulare Spielplatten – Ein System für (fast) alle Tabletops

Modular game boards – One system for (almost) all tabletops

Whether you're playing Warhammer 40,000, Kill Team, OnePageRules, Infinity, Star Wars Legion, or Marvel Crisis Protocol, the board sizes can vary dramatically. Instead of building a separate board for each game, you can cover almost all relevant systems with a simple modular system – without any compromises.

The standard module

The basis is a uniform standard module with the dimensions:

  • 56 x 76 cm ( 22” x 30” )

This size corresponds exactly to the official playing field size for Kill Team or Warcry and is therefore perfect as a modular base unit.

The modules are large enough for terrain, easy to store and can be combined as desired.

The supplementary module

For playing fields that are slightly squarer or smaller , we use an additional module with the dimensions:

  • 56 x 46 cm ( 22” x 18” )

This also makes it possible to represent games such as Marvel Crisis Protocol , X-Wing or OPR Skirmish – without having to resort to half modules or complicated special dimensions.

Alternative modules

If you prefer something a little more detailed and want to add more variety, you can also consider the Modular Gaming Boards from Miniaturicum. The board consists of four individual parts (15" x 11") and can therefore also replace the expansion module.

The system is so flexible

With only up to 6 standard modules and 1 additional module, you can cover almost all common tabletop systems:

Game system

Playing field size (cm)

Module structure

Warcry / Kill Team

56 x 76 cm (22” x 30”)

1 standard module

Combat Patrol

112 x 76 cm (44” x 30”)

2 standard modules next to each other

40k / AoS / OPR

112 x 152 cm (44” x 60”)

4 standard modules (2x2)

Onslaught / Big Games

112 x 228 cm (44” x 90”)

6 standard modules (3x2)

Infinity

120 x 120 cm (48” x 48”)

3x3 standard modules (168 x 228 cm, can be cut to size)

Lord of the Rings / MESBG

120 x 120 cm (48” x 48”)

3x3 standard modules

Star Wars Legion

183 x 122 cm (72” x 48”)

6 standard modules (3x2 horizontal)

X-Wing / MCP

91 x 91 cm (36” x 36”)

1 standard module + 1 supplementary module

OPR Skirmish

76 x 76 cm (30” x 30”)

1 standard module + 1 supplementary module


Why this works

  • You only need to build or store a measure

  • No half panels, no complicated cutting

  • Expandable : Today Kill Team, tomorrow Onslaught – no problem

  • Stackable & transportable thanks to uniform modules

Design as desired

How you design your game board—painted, textured, covered with terrain, or flat for modular elements—is up to you. You can find plenty of instructions on YouTube and other platforms, including TWS (German), 3D Games , and many others.

Conclusion

With 4-6 standard modules and 1 additional module, you are perfectly equipped – no matter which system you play.

You no longer have to worry about special sizes or new plates.

One system – many possibilities. Simple, robust, modular.
