About Dark Ops

Gamers Making Terrain for Gamers

Do you want new ideas? Do you want new & awesome terrain?

Then we are here to help you out!

 

We started life as a small company based in the Midlands North Staffordshire manufacturing MDF terrain in house to sell worldwide driven by a passion for gaming and great terrain design. 

We also License products that we make with the coolest manufacturers to bring unique tie ins to market.

Back in 2019 Sarissa Precision Ltd purchased Dark Ops laser cutting business in full. Sarissa had been talking with Dark Ops regarding order fulfilment and during this period talks led the discussions to an outright purchase.

This outcome was perfect for Dark Ops as it allowed for new ideas to be pursued, expanding our passion for tabletop games and the terrain we make. 

Now, as we move into 2022, we can look forward to seeing the development of new kits, new 3D components, printed material, tokens and more support than ever before for your games!
