Quick answer
Choose Unpainted Difficult Ground for a versatile, paintable terrain set, or Cairn & Fire Hills for ready-to-use Kickstarter exclusives that add character to your hills.
What you get in each set
Unpainted Difficult Ground includes five different-sized rocks, two fallen tree trunks, and a stump in colored plastic. It gives you a solid foundation for creating rough terrain on any wargaming table.
Cairn & Fire Hills is a Kickstarter Exclusive set containing a pre-painted resin Rock Cairn and a Signal Fire. It comes without retail packaging and is designed to accent your Hill set.
Painting vs pre-painted: the main trade-off
The biggest difference is painting effort. Unpainted Difficult Ground lets you customize every piece to match your table's color scheme, but requires time and paint. Cairn & Fire Hills arrives pre-painted in resin, saving you painting time while adding a focal point to your hills.
If you enjoy painting and want to match specific colors, the unpainted set offers more creative control. If you prefer instant, ready-to-use accessories with a premium resin feel, the Kickstarter exclusives are the faster route.
Availability and value
Unpainted Difficult Ground is a standard product you can purchase anytime. Cairn & Fire Hills is a Kickstarter Exclusive with limited availability, so if you want it, you may need to act quickly or find it through secondary channels.
The unpainted set costs USD 23.45 (compare at USD 35.00) and contains multiple pieces. Cairn & Fire Hills costs USD 2.22 (compare at USD 3.00) for two accessories. The value proposition depends on whether you need quantity or unique, pre-finished details.
