Terrain — Prospero Board

#

Iconic Prospero themes — crystal spires, stepped pyramids, arcane obelisks, marble ruins, floating psychic islands — built as a collection of playable pieces rather than one static diorama, so each piece can be repositioned between missions.

Design brief: desert/ash-wastes theme, gameplay before looks, no standing on terrain, ~25–33% LOS-blocking coverage split evenly across both halves, modular pieces, board size 44"×60" (matches Strike Force / Incursion). Building is the fun part — painted finish is secondary.

• Prospero Pyramid — centerpiece, stepped ritual temple
• Arcane Obelisks — objective markers
• Crystal Energy Fields — scatter terrain
• Floating Crystal Forest — floating island pylons
• Temple Ruins — filler terrain, cover
• Columns — standing & broken columns for the ruins
• Brazier — flame finial attachment piece
• Rune Panels — engraved cladding panels
